Weird, we're experiencing the opposite in Europe.

Last time that much fresh water got dumped in the Atlantic ocean (when the glacier over north america melted) it resulted in an ice age over Europe... So... Good luck guys 👍

I swear just a few years ago it was polar vortex this polar vortex that on the news everyday about the cold weather and I haven't heard it once this year.

Will the increased snow cover at lower latitudes reduce warming? (I'm guessing probably yes, due to increased albedo. But, snow is also an insulator, and might be holding ground heat. I don't know which effect will be greater.)

If it does reduce warming, will the amount be significant relative to anthropogenic climate change? (I'm guessing probably not.)

And just out of curiosity, did the Southern Hemisphere experience similar polar disturbances last winter, or in the past few years?

The graphic isn't all that accurate. The text says a colder period is because of a warmer planet but then the cold area from a meandering jet stream looks larger. The missing part is the warmer air that leaks into the polar areas, causing a feedback loop by further deteriorating the balance of cold and warm that drives the jet stream.

Good luck convincing the rubes that. Literally heard jokes about "global warming" today in the office. Had to say, well its climate change actually and wild shit means its not doing good.
