  1. We had record breaking warm weather this Fall and December in MN

    Looks like that will change

  2. It’s been in the low 30’s overnight here in the SF Bay Area … ohhhhhhhh mommmaaaaaa … the climate they are a-changing … Just Stop Oil

    1. In WA state on the coast we are expected to hit lows in the 15 come Thursday or Friday

      Brrrrrrrrrrr more fire wood

  3. I love that red hot colour of artic air pushing that polar vortex or whatever it’s called today down on us. Presumably its a few degrees warmer than the average and therefore “proof” of CAGW. Environment Canada pumps the CAGW hysteria constantly. You would think it’s run by Green peace….. oh, never mind.

  5. It can’t take that long anymore that the majority of the public realizes that those climate experts and those that came before them for 4 generations or 90 years never got it right and never will. Manhattan Island suppose to be under water in 1950 according to experts from the 30th then under Ice as soon as the 80th or 90th and then under water again according to James Hanson and Al Gore. The Epoch Times had a good article about it a few weeks ago, it’s premium reports so it’s probably behind a paywall but for those that have a subscription and didn’t see it.

    1. If the east coast is sinking into the ocean, it’s due to the tremendous weight of the bullshit piled up over the years. Not climate change

  6. alas, the voters required to ‘right the ship’ and make a dash for Port Common Sense gonna be all froze to death. restricted of course to those adamantly believing each nuance and explanation that got them there in the first place.

  7. I’ve said it before, so I’ll say it again: watch the jet stream. Wherever it is over North America, that’s the divider between Arctic and not-Arctic coldness (or warmth in the summer), and the related transitions. The relative strength or weakness of the northern high pressure systems (vs the ENSO) define where the cold air is, vs the insanely-cold air.

    1. I keep running across people online pushing “new improved” heat pumps that supposedly work efficiently, even in Canada’s north or prairies. I have my doubts. My suspicion is that even if they do work, they end up being terribly inefficient at those cold temps. Any thoughts from any in the gallery?

      1. ” My suspicion is that even if they do work, they end up being terribly inefficient at those cold temps. Any thoughts from any in the gallery?”

        Yes: even the best of good intentions can never change the laws of thermodynamics.

      3. Heat pumps are efficient when cooling hence COP =3+. Not so much in heating mode.
        Eelectric baseboard is 100%.
        Wood works if you can get it for less than elec or hydrocarbons.
        YMMV

      4. Heat pumps are quite efficient where the difference between out door temperature is small, say 20C. So they are admirably suited to cooling where the indoor/outdoor temperature differential is in that range. So if we look at heating, in other words pumping heat from cold outdoor air, that 20C differential only takes us down to 0C. Then you have the double whammy of your dwelling demanding more heat while the decreasingly inefficient heat pump provides increasingly less heat. The only way around this limitation is a ground source heat pump. Since the ground below a certain depth is around 10C to 12C, one can pump heat from the earth in the efficient range of the heat pump and have super efficient cooling as you are pumping heat from the interior of your house “downhill” so to speak. But these ground source systems are expensive and limited by site.

  8. If we have nothing better to do than jerk off to the weather.. We are in steep permanent decline..
