On the Polar Vortex Being Caused by Man-Made Global Warming

As opposed to in 1776 when the thickness of the ice made Washington's crossing of the Delaware all the more hazardous.

Freezing here: roasting there . There have been some proposals linking anomalies in the Polar Vortex to
GW, along with other weather extremes, like the polar ozone
depletion, but picking points on
a graph can be misleading in terms of millennial climatology.
Maybe by 2800AD there will be
more solid data?

There have always been regional differences and there always will be but the fact of the matter is that the warming has stalled for going on 16 years now while the CO2 emissions from humans have skyrocketed. Yeah, hopefully by 2800 the knowledge will be better on the subject (a reality that will only be achieved, I believe, by keeping the politicians and scientists in separate cubicles).

And that follow-up post is not directed at you, BB. It's aimed at people whose views are far less nuanced than yours by a mile.
