Good article, thank you for posting it.


Polar Vortex and Climate Change: Why Rush Limbaugh and Others Are Wrong - weather.com
Average Monthly Arctic Sea Ice Extent in November, 1978-2013


I'd rather get information about climate change from a weather site than from Rush Limpballs, sorry folks.

Hate to break it to you, but there's likely not a damn thing that you can do about it.
There are other ways of determining weather and climate besides recorded history and weather stations. We have fossil records, tree rings and bubbles of air trapped in ice of which core samples are taken.

No kidding that we cannot do anything about past events, it's the future events we should be concerned with.

If a giant meteor were coming at us, do we throw up our hands and say "it's happened before - let's just go ahead die like the dinosaurs", or do we send out a nuke to deflect it's path?
