Polar Vortex Triggering Coldest Arctic Outbreak in at Least Two Decades This Week in Parts of the Midwest https://weather.com/forecast/nation...vortex-midwest-arctic-air-coldest-two-decades
Experts said Arctic sea ice would melt entirely by September 2016 - they were wrong https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science...sea-ice-would-melt-entirely-by-september-201/
The earth will take care of itself. There's nothing we can do to kill it. Remember the comet strike 65 million years ago? The earth made do quite well without us. And there is nothing we could ever do to this planet to compare with that. As for the global warming shit? Just another part of the long-term cycle. As the earth warms, you get colder winters. No surprise there. As the earth cools, you get warmer winters. No surprise there. We, as traders, should be spot-on when it comes to understanding the very very long term cycles of climates. It is what we do as traders! We analyze our really long-term charts to find a trend!

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6680-sunspot-activity-impacts-on-crop-success/ Sunspot activity impacts on crop success By Hazel Muir The mysterious sunspot cycle has a subtle influence on crop success, a study of wheat prices in the US suggests. In 2003, astrophysicist Lev Pustilnik of Tel Aviv University and Gregory Yom Din, an agricultural economist at Haifa University, both in Israel, showed that wheat prices in 17th-century England were influenced by the solar cycle – whereby sunspot numbers rise and fall over a period of about 11 years (New Scientist print edition, 20 December 2003). Periods of low sunspot activity corresponded to peaks in the price of wheat, indicating a lower crop yield. This backs the idea that the solar cycle affects climate and crop yields on Earth, possibly by changing levels of cloud cover. Now the team has done a similar analysis for wheat prices in the US during the 20th century. They did not expect to see a sunspot connection due to modern technologies that make crops more robust in unfavourable weather, globalised markets and massive economic disruption during two world wars. But surprisingly, they did find a link between numbers of sunspots and the price of wheat. They suspect the effect persists because 70% of US durum wheat grows in one part of North Dakota, where localised weather conditions could have a dramatic impact on total production.
Yup, global warming is causing, among a bunch of bad things, more polar outbreaks. We are really fucking things up and it's just starting.
One scientist thought the Arctic would be ice free in Sept by now. Most did not, but it looks like he is going to be pretty close.
