Study Finds Extreme Winters Not Due To Global Warming – They Should Have Asked HH Lamb!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

A new study has found that cold snaps like the ones that hit the eastern United States in the past winters are not a consequence of climate change. Scientists at ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology have shown that global warming actually tends to reduce temperature variability

WUWT has the full detail, but their logic is that, because the poles are expected to warm faster under GHG theory, temperature differentials between high and low latitudes will decrease, and therefore extremes in temperature will become less.

What particularly struck me though was the lead author’s comments about jet stream meridionality, which is claimed to result from Arctic warming, and leads to weather blocking and the cold snaps we have seen in recent winters.
