Yeah, from what I understand, climate change can increase the sinuosity of the jet stream, which separates cold polar air from warmer low-latitude air. Higher sinuosity=more ripples, which leads to larger temperature swings.

But that distinction is arbitrary since climate change can be defined as a change in climate- which is constant. What you mean to say is that a man-made effect on the earth's climate is f*cking up the general "pattern" of the jet stream, no?
