Piling On: More New Research Shows No Link Between “Polar Vortex” and Global Warming

Piling On: More New Research Shows No Link Between “Polar Vortex” and Global Warming | Cato @ Liberty:
This is getting embarrassing.
Another scientific paper has just been published that again finds no association between Arctic sea ice loss and extreme cold and wintery conditions across the U.S.—White House Science Advisor John Holdren’s favorite mechanism for tying last winter’s persistent “polar vortex” over the eastern US to anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
We wonder just what it will take for the White House to publicly admit that it was grossly wrong. 
At the very least, it needs to disavow a widely-disseminated YouTube video featuring Holdren explaining the link between last winter’s polar vortex and human-caused climate change. 
There is no such link. 
Of course, this won’t happen, as Holdren was simply engaging in a publicity stunt relying on tenuous science to scare up support for President Obama’s Climate Action Plan.  
The President is hell-bent on an endless string of executive actions aimed at manipulating the energy market and reducing our energy choices along the way.
