As the reality of the USA’s brutal “global warming” induced winter bites, Minnesotan climate scientists are keen to reassure us they are still in control.
Believe it or not, global warming might have caused the arctic blast
As climate destabilizes, Minnesota could see polar snaps more frequently.

FEBRUARY 2, 2019 — 6:09PMLast week’s arctic temperatures may have shocked millennials, but Minnesotans of a certain age swear they can remember such frigid spells as fairly regular events.
They’re right, and climatologist Kenny Blumenfeld can explain why.
Five or six decades ago, the polar vortex — the thick mass of cold low-pressure air that swirls counterclockwise around the North Pole — would spill bone-chilling air down to Minnesota every two to three years.
Not anymore.
“This one is as bad as we’ve had in three decades,” said Blumenfeld, senior climatologist in the Minnesota State Climatology Office.
And for anyone who developed doubts about global warming in last week’s deep freeze, Blumenfeld says not so. In his mind, the data demonstrate that climate change is real: Decades have passed since Minnesota trudged through its last extreme deep freeze.
“These used to be much more regular occurrences,” he said.
…
Scientists are studying whether the Earth’s rising temperatures might be causing the jet stream to wander even more, Twine said, leading to more frequent leaks of severe cold to more southerly latitudes.
“We don’t know enough about the science to be able to predict whether this is going to happen more or less in the future,” said Twine.
“We’re pretty confident that overall, the winters here are averaging warmer. We just don’t know how these colder outbreaks are going to change.”
…
It may be cold comfort, but he added: “Our winters would be warmer if we weren’t getting these increased polar vortex disruptions.”
Who knows – if we give climate scientists a few more billion dollars, maybe they’ll be able to tell us whether the snow will end.
I love how they contradictorily cover all the bases:
“These used to be much more regular occurrences,” he said.
So global warming makes them less frequent but…

global warming may make them more frequent
so no matter what happens it’s global warming what done it.
Haven’t heard any stories of how great a Tesla was keeping warm in that -30 degree F weather. Stopping about every 75 miles to get a charge? Range Anxiety much? That car could literally get you killed in that weather.

“Model 3 owners have taken to social media and online forums to air issues they’ve had with their sedans due to the frigid weather of the last week. Cold conditions are a drain on battery range, no matter the car brand. But other predicaments are particular to Tesla.”
Agenda science dominates MN also, which leads to more and more frayed explanations loosely referring to science but not when called on it. The John Holdren Award in sciency PR obfuscation goes to MN this week.
So the Minnesota State Climatologist thinks that global warming will make polar snaps more frequent but “they use to be much more regular occurrences.”
This shows just how far they will go to make fools of Minnesotans. And the reporter did the velvet glove reporting to make it happen with no consequences.
They report on schemes at the State Capitol buy not anywhere involving climate agenda. This up-is-down journalism went on in Germany in the 1930s as well.
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don’t you cry.
That song was the inspiration for this song.
‘As climate destabilizes’
That literally has no meaning.
It has a meaning, just not one that matches reality. for climate to destabilize, would require climate to have previously been stable. Climate has never been stable, it’s constantly changing – always has, always will.
Thanks for posting. I haven’t been doing much with my blog and youtube channel passed couple of years, I figured everybody figured out Global Waring was a hoax by now.
