So how about this for a dramatic turn of events...buckle up everybody.
The Polar Vortex, ya know the one that is bring wind chills of -65 degrees below zero here in Minnesota, might actually be caused by the global warming phenomena. That's right, Global Warming is causing the Polar Vortex, wrap you're head around that for a minute.
Here's some of the science and theory behind that...
According to the video below, from the Discovery Channel, a study is referenced which explains that the warming of our planet is weakening the polar jet stream thus reducing sea ice and causing a sloshing of cold air. That cold air causes the cold temperatures and the crazy winter weather down the jet stream.
The video explains it more in depth and discusses how what's happening might actually be making WINTER LONGER!!! (DUN, DUNN, DUNNNN!!!!)
