Yesterday's New York Times had a really complicated article that addressed the question, how come winters are so freakishly cold (like in Europe right now) if there's global warming? According to this scientist, all the reasons that I thought answered the question (seasonal weather phenomena like El Nino) don't explain all.
If I read correctly, this guy is blaming added moisture from the melting of glaciers for creating more snow around them, which affects temperature in Northern cities. This is kind of a new explanation and a seemmingly reasonable one at that. But why all the mystery around the author who is listed as, "Judah Cohen is the director of seasonal forecasting at an atmospheric and environmental research firm."
Any thoughts?

Perhaps Judah wrote this article for the NYT on his own time without using his employer's resources? Or his employer does not allow employees to name the company in articles that are not endorsed by the company? Too bad for his employer because they are losing out on prime name recognition/publicity.
