Here is how the Environmental Defense Fund explains the big chill this past week (and honest to God, we are not making this up):

It may seem counterintuitive, but the increase in snowfall during winter storms may be linked to climate change.

Remember — there is more moisture in the warmer atmosphere. So when the temperatures are below freezing, snowfall can break records.

And scientists are studying a possible connection between the warming Arctic and cold spells in the eastern United States. The idea is that a rapidly warming Arctic can weaken the jet stream, allowing frigid polar air to travel farther south.

Uh-huh. Yep. That makes sense.

Do the climate change fanatics even have any sense of self-awareness of how deranged they are starting to sound?
