Let the Arctic be frank with Francis



So the warmer than normal Arctic air pushed down the colder than normal Arctic air to create a colder than normal Northern Hemisphere winter while all the heat trapping CO2 from the NH went to the southern hemisphere to warm up Oz leaving the NH without its blankie. Is that right? CO2, you dirty rat! Doesn’t the cold winter call into question the heat trapping superpowers of CO2? Aren’t the winters supposed to be getting warmer not colder? The lack of retention doesn’t get my attention.

The trouble for Jennifer Francis is that the Arctic is now getting colder in spite of the buildup of CO2 in our air. The top 3 coldest summers have all occurred in the last five years. Last summer(2013) was the coldest in the last 50 years North of 80N according to the DMI. The cold played havoc with the thrill seekers who wanted to traverse the NWP and found it blocked by ice.
And then we have the news that Greenland has been cooling for the last 70 years. And that the 2013 winter ice up is the highest in a decade. And Jennifer studies the Arctic?
