AP Explains How Global Warming Could Be Causing More Cold Blasts

ImgFlip

When this editor was in middle school, global cooling was the big topic in Scholastic Magazine. Global cooling gave way to global warming, and once scientists realized they couldn't figure out which way the planet's temperature was changing, they settled on "climate change" as a cover-all term. Winter is cold? Climate change. Summer is hot? Climate change.

Now it seems as though global warming is back in style. The Associated Press explains how global warming could create more cold blasts nationwide.

The Associated Press reports:

Frigid air that normally stays trapped in the Arctic has escaped, plunging deep into the United States for an extended visit that is expected to provoke teeth-chattering but not be record-shattering.

It’s a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world. Such cold air blasts have become known as the polar vortex. It’s a long-established weather term that’s become mainstream as its technical meaning changed a bit on the way.

What it really means to average Americans in areas where the cold air comes: brrrrr.

Thank you, AP, for explaining the science behind the phenomenon in such detail. But how did a long-established weather term's technical meaning change … wasn't there a scientific consensus?

As we reported last January, a Danish nonprofit that seeks the "rapid phase-out of fossil fuels" gave $300,000 to the Associated Press to help train journalists to become climate change activists.

It's the weather. The midwest is having a cold snap, so the AP blames global warming. Is this winter were milder than usual, they'd also blame global warming.
