Notes

Scope and Content:
IN MID-JANUARY, A LOBE OF THE POLAR VORTEX SAGGED SOUTHWARD OVER THE CENTRAL and eastern United States. All-time low temperature records for the calendar date were set at O’Hare Airport in Chicago [–16°F (–8°C), 6 January], at Central Park in New York [4°F (–15.6°C), 7 January], and at many other stations (1). Since that event, several substantial snow storms have blanketed the East Coast. Some have been touting such stretches of extreme cold as evidence that global warming is a hoax, while others have been citing them as evidence that global warming is causing a “global weirding” of the weather. In our view, it is neither.
