The One Video to Shut Down All of the Climate-Change Deniers

[Ichingcarpenter]

Weather experts explain why you're freezing in the polar vortex—and what it means for global warming.



Dr. Jeff Masters, the Weather Underground's king of climate nerds, stands atop the ice trying to explain to climate deniers: Yes, it's cold this winter. No, that doesn't mean global warming is a liberal conspiracy.

"If There's Global Warming … Why Is It So Cold?" is a video for the Yale Forum's "This Is Not Cool" series, and it does an excellent job breaking down why what may seem like an average cold snap might actually be an alarming symptom of global warming.

In fact, explains Masters to his YouTube audience, there's a lot more to the freezing temperatures than your phone's weather app might be able to tell you.
