MET office now admits Arctic sea ice didn't cause unusually cold weather

The Hockey Schtick
" In a new report entitled "Why was the start to spring 2013 so cold?," the chief of the UK MET Office now admits that decreased Arctic sea ice or "Arctic amplification" was not responsible for the unusually cold spring 2013 in Europe, finding "little evidence from the comparison between the cold spring of 1962 and this year that the Arctic has been a contributory factor in terms of the hypothesis" of "an increased probability of extreme weather events that result from prolonged conditions, such as drought, flooding, cold spells, and heat waves."
