Holdren points out that temperatures in the Arctic have been rising at about double the pace of temperatures at the mid-latitudes, where the continental United States lies. And he cites research that theorizes the shrinking difference between the Arctic temperatures and the mid-latitudes is making it more likely that incursions of that frigid air from the “polar vortex” will happen more frequently in the future.

If you want to make your freezer colder, simply turn the temperature up.
This is clearly the onset of the new Ice Age, as predicted by John Holdren in 1971 :

Looks to me like another Time like posting is required.
Holdren 1971 v Holdren 2014
Back in ’71 he scared me. Now I’m laughing at him. Still a little scared of that guy. What a kook. He make Hansen look mentally healthy; and Hansen is clearly insane.
YOu have learned well grasshopper.
Holdren is in a position where he is actually influencing policy makers, not just sopping up grant money. He is far more harmful now than when he was just an acolyte of Ehrlich.
Ah yes, the creation of yet another “crisis”….
It will be very interesting to hear how they will claim that their carbon taxes will solve the problem.
Because you just know it’s coming…… (carbon taxes as the solution to the “climate change” problem)
And you know there is a problem when you use Obama and “science” in the same sentence…..
It seems the “flat earth society” is a far more appropriate relationship with the Liar-in-Chief than any reference to science…..
Just sayin’ …….
I fail to see how reducing a temperature gradient increases the rate of energy transfer (i.e. incursions of the polar vortex).
Seems there actually is no consensus on this topic, and AGW alarmists find them arguing both sides of the argument.
Think of the challenge of religious leaders had in the early period of the Church. They had to reconcile much that is not easily reconciled. The AGW promoters have similar challenges.
Is there any correlation between the 30% growth in Arctic Sea Ice Extent on 2012, and the “Extreme warm in the far North”?
Is there any correlation between record cold 2013 Arctic temps, and the “Extreme warm in the far North”?
Extremist Holdren coming to the defence of the 17 year non-global warming hoax. And once again the man-made “Climate Change” aka “Global Warming” theory remains non-falsifiable. Hot=Cold=Mild=Dry=Wet=Rain=Drought.
“he cites research that theorizes the shrinking difference between the Arctic temperatures and the mid-latitudes is making it more likely that incursions of that frigid air from the “polar vortex” will happen more frequently in the future.”
If you go into google scholar and type “climate change” you’ve got 2.3 million articles to choose from, or global warming gets you 1.1 million. I suspect if you look hard enough you’ll find research that theorises about just about any weather occurrence that’s imaginable.
Actually for climate change that’s only 1.7 million.
They’ve got a “theory” for everything, and if they don’t the Potsdam Institute, Pacific Institute, the Aggie Joke, the MET office, or any number of other highly paid outfits will come up with one in a couple of weeks made to order.
What is unusual about a cold snap?
“A Warner Arctic means a colder Arctic”
This is entirely consistent with more hotcold and wetdry.
And that is exactly what we predicted. The warmer it gets,the more we freeze But if it gets colder,we will all fry. Or something. But the science is settled. Models don’t lie,it’s the climate that is wrong.
That’s why I put my ice cube trays in the stove so I can have faster ice cubes.
Is there anybody in that administration that is not a laughable fool?
Apparently not, pity on us.
Where the DATA? I should be easy to find polar out breaks when the ice extent was large vs the last 8 years when the extent was small.
I’m a layman so I don’t where to find it BUT here’s a big Measured hint:
Major Florida Freezes….1977, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1989, end/stopped
http://flcitrusmutual.com/rend…freeze_timeline.aspx
They tightly measure crops, and crop failure…. there have been no major polar outbreak large/deep enough to hit Florida since 1989!
Actually Daffy, the commercial orange groves that existed in the northern part of Florida until the 1980’s were all bulldozed and moved south. The freezes continue, I know because my family settled that part of Florida, and live there still. Not including the Keys, Florida is about 400 miles north to south, and Miami is a completely different climate than Tallahassee. What used to be orange groves as far as the eye could see, is now horse country.
Allec the duffy, the sea ice extents are at 30 year record levels, it is easy to check, go to University of Illinois Cryosphere

The worst part of this is that she is apparently sincere.
