Here us the problem with this theory: A) It is based on the assumption that global warming is occuring, a fact flatly denied by actual observable global temperatures for over 18 years. In other words, since no global warming is even happening according to empirical scientific data, there is no basis to even postulate a theory about how a non-existant phenomena is affecting the world. B) Assumes the loss of polar ice is acelerating - Since this theory was proposed in 2012, it was based on observations made prior to that time. In 2013 and 2014 we have had the largest growth of polar ice ever recorded in the modern history of the last 200 years. This fact alone completely invalidates the theorys core belief. C) Violates the scientific method - by definition a theory in science is supposed to be based on observable data which can be duplicated and repeated. This theory is nothing more than a blind faith based claim since it cannot be duplicated or observed anywhere on earth outside of a computer model, which is being programmed to do what the researchers want it to do. Here is what the article says: Back in 2012, two researchers with a particular interest in the Arctic, Rutgers Jennifer Francis and the University of Wisconsin-Madisons Stephen Vavrus, published a paper called Evidence linking Arctic amplification to extreme weather in mid-latitudes. In it, they suggested that the fact that the Arctic is warming so rapidly is leading to an unexpected but profound effect on the weather where the vast majority of us live -- a change that, if their theory is correct, may have something to do with the extreme winter weather the U.S. has seen lately.
