According to this article from the CATO institute, a scientific study has recently been released disputing the White House's claim that climate change has lead to the Polar Vortex of this last winter.
I quote:
"We wonder just what it will take for the White House to publicly admit that it was grossly wrong. At the very least, it needs to disavow a widely-disseminated YouTube video featuring Holdren explaining the link between last winter’s polar vortex and human-caused climate change. There is no such link. Of course, this won’t happen, as Holdren was simply engaging in a publicity stunt relying on tenuous science to scare up support for President Obama’s Climate Action Plan. The President is hell-bent on an endless string of executive actions aimed at manipulating the energy market and reducing our energy choices along the way."

Reducing our energy choices? That's a trip. How could they be reduced any further than they already are? The fact that most people are forced to buy power from one electric company, plus the fact that the power grid is large, cumbersome, and inefficient, doesn't make a lot of market choices for the consumer. Some power utility companies are even trying to stem the progress of individual, renewable, solar energy investments. Take a look at the issues the state of California has been having with SolarCity.
SolarCity installs solar panels on your house for free, with the goal of charging you less for power than the standard electric utility price. Read more about SolarCity.
