Yup. I agree with you 100% there Andy. It's gonna be miserable and I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it. Even if we stopped burning and drilling for oil and closed down every coal burning plant on the earth tomorrow. It's still gonna happen. and I'm glad you brought up the volcanic eruptions that coincide with the solar minimum...which seem to be popping all over the place these days. Yellowstone's caldera has been in the news recently with all it's moving and shaking lately too. Some scientist tell us not to worry about it. Others are saying get ready to kiss our asses good bye. Can you imagine what havoc that would cause the planet?
Anyway, yes! The polar vortex is bad news for some and good times for others it seems. ride on!
