Polar vortex defies climate change in the Southeast U.S.

Polar vortex defies climate change in the Southeast U.S.
Winters in the Southeast have been getting colder instead of warmer

Summary:
    Overwhelming scientific evidence has demonstrated that our planet is getting warmer due to climate change, yet parts of the eastern US are actually getting cooler. According to a new study, the location of this anomaly, known as the 'US warming hole,' is a moving target. During the winter and spring, the US warming hole sits over the Southeast, as the polar vortex allows arctic air to plunge into the region, resulting in persistently cooler temperatures.

Their "overwhelming evidence" is the output of several faulty computer models..........

Some things never change.  GIGO for instance.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Wait - the planet is getting warmer due to climate change? I thought climate change was happening because the planet was getting warmer?

I suppose it depends on whether you start with the data and model the result, or start with the result and model the data?

I think the way this one was done was to come up with the results, then determine the model needed to get  there
