“But what about that icy blast heading down from Canada this week to put the Big Chill on most of the eastern United States? That, too, might be linked to warming: some researchers, according Climate Central, think that Arctic ice melt could prompt the frigid invasion of the so-called polar vortex.

Not all researchers believe that natural phenomena in all it variations can be tied to climate change. Extreme drought in California defies some models, although it does explain recent extreme heat and subsequent huge wildfires.”
