The first video in this post (Dr. D.G. Barbe...Tom,<br /><br />The first video in this post (Dr. D.G. Barber) indicates agreement with what I have been posting about the Polar Vortex.<br /><br />I have associatied that demise with the record cold on the east coast at the same time there is record warm on the west coast.<br /><br />Warm flows to cold, and at times afterward wind currents carry the cold aura away. <br /><br />Like the cold air closely surrounding a large block of ice on a hot day being carried away by currents caused by warm air flowing to the cold ice to melt it.<br /><br />The Polar Vortex, as we have known it, is dying away.<br /><br />Metaphorically, the cold spells flowing south are its "blood and its energy" leaving the Arctic.<br /><br />The same phenomenon has abruptly reduced the number of tornadoes and impacted jet streams.<br /><br />Quite recently tornadoes were rapidly increasing in numbers to reach an all-time high, then those numbers abruptly went way, way down (<a href="http://blogdredd.blogspot.com/2015/04/on-origin-of-tornadoes-6.html" rel="nofollow">On The Origin of Tornadoes - 6</a>). [beginning at 11:05 in the video]<br /><br />This is abrupt climate change.<br /><br />This scientist who has studied the Arctic for 30 years says he is utterly surprised at the changes taking place.<br /><br />Likewise his associates did not expect what has already happened.<br /><br />Once the Polar Vortex, along with the old winter ice under it (only ~12% remaining now), dies out, I expect the tornado count to return to go ballistic. <br /><br />Like SLR.<br /><br />So, those camps should not be set up in the heartland IMO.Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629960642482064127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-32313356145222715162015-05-22T07:58:05.264-05:002015-05-22T07:58:05.264-05:00"Arctic Sea Ice At Historic Low" (link)"Arctic Sea Ice At Historic Low" (<a href="http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2015/05/arctic-sea-ice-at-historic-low.html" rel="nofollow">link</a>)Randyhttp://www.peakoil.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-13513067259917721552015-05-22T07:05:03.868-05:002015-05-22T07:05:03.868-05:00Thanks for another informative post on this direct...Thanks for another informative post on this direct impact to the East coast of the U.S. where i (we?) live. i can be confident that the weather patterns we've experienced the last few years of bitter cold and lots of snow and ice (& longer winter) will more than likely continue for a while yet as the sea level increases along the coastline. There will probably also be more volcano and earthquake activity, or at least some expected movement of the plate we're on (the Craton) due to the loss of (ice) mass in Greenland. Other consequences aren't so easy to see and will be "unexpected" when they impact us. In all, we're in an uncharted area now with respect to climate change, Arctic ice loss and weather (to name a few aspects). <br /><br />Thanks for keeping us informed, Dredd.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
