Courtesy David Biello in Scientific American:
More frigid temperatures may be exactly what northern Europe and Asia get thanks to global warming. A study published November 5 in the Journal of Geophysical Research suggests that the melting of the Arctic sea ice thanks to warmer air in the far north is changing weather patterns. And that means more bitterly cold air will settle in over Britain while Greenland may actually come closer to being green (or, at least, balmier in winter).
Unfortunately, I'm sure that some "AGW 1s a c0nsp1racy!!1!!" woo merchant will still not understand the idea that global - or continental - climate change is capable of occurring despite conditions somewhere else. Polar caps are quite capable of receding due to melting even if the weather is absolutely frigid that week in Minnesota, thank you very much.
