[ link to www.nytimes.com (secure)] That Recent Brutally Cold Weather? It’s Getting Rarer"Climate change has made severe cold spells like the one that recently gripped the Northeast far less common than they used to be, a team of researchers has found. The reason is straightforward: The Arctic has warmed so much — twice as fast in recent decades than other parts of the world — that when polar air descends to lower latitudes, the cold snaps are warmer on average. So a spell of extremely cold weather like the recent one is rare, about 15 times rarer than a century ago, the scientists said." I trust these scientists as much as i trust Jazzy's meteorology forecasters.
