Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?
- Thread starter sear
- Start date
But you do realize that colder winter storms are due to global warming?
The idea is that if the earth did not rotate, then hot air would rise at the equator and fall at the poles.
But since the earth is rotating, the air can't make it all the way in time.
So there instead are 6 convection zone, with 3 in the north and 3 in the south.
And what happened due to global warming, is that weather now has more energy.
So now arctic air is able to reach further south than normal.
So it is the extra energy of global warming that allows arctic storms to reach much further south than they normally would.

Absolutely - that's why I posted it here.
Stretched polar vortex, moisture and a lack of sea ice all to blame for dangerous winter blast, meteorologists say
Meteorologists said the eastern two-thirds of the nation is threatened with a winter storm that could rival the damage of a major hurricane and has some origins in an Arctic that is warming from climate change.
