Shrinking Sea Ice Causing Cold Spring?

       A team of meteorologists and climatologists have recently been looking at satellite imaging and have made the hypothesis that due to less ice on the poles winters in the northern hemisphere are extending. Unfortunately, understanding weather is no easy matter otherwise I would go into more detail about why this is happening, but in general they believe due to global warming the sea ice in the arctic is shrinking and this causes this cold spring we are currently experiencing.
     I thought this was especially funny to run across for me because just today it was snowing and everyone, including me was complaining about the cold weather in spring. Now we can all blame the fact that our o-zone layer is being depleted and global warming is causing all this horrible cold we are experiencing.
