Washington Post: Is the rapid melting of the Arctic paying us back for our greenhouse gas emissions by messing with the jet stream -- which carries weather through the northern hemisphere? And could that, in turn, explain recent breakouts of extremes all around the northern half of the world -- including recent snowfall in the east coast?
