And yet, nothing in the CBC article about the occurring mechanism… ie instabilities in the polar vortex caused by a warmer arctic:
“But Filippelli said it’s likely that warming surface temperatures in the Arctic might contribute to the destabilization of the polar vortex. Because it’s locked into a vicious warming cycle the region is warming over twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Warm air melts bright white, reflective sea ice, which then allows the vast, dark open ocean to absorb more heat, and release more heat. This means more relatively warm air that can potentially destabilize the cold, fenced-in Arctic. ” see source for a nice 3D animation of our January fucked up polar vortex.
Soon (10 yrs) agricultural yields will plummet and food prices will skyrocket. People fed up by our elite inaction will take the streets. Will some kids lose an eye to a stun grenade? Extinction Rebellion!
PS: we are ALREADY at +1.5C warmer than preindustrial global means.

I’ve noticed slightly fewer people at the Car Show this year. I guess they’re finding it hard to get there with all the ice and the flooded streets.

I drove past it yesterday on my way to the east end and there are no flooded streets, and the ice is mostly gone in the business district.
