While this [polar vortex] study solely examines January, a regional domain, and uses different data to quantify atmospheric circulation, the results presented here are not congruent with the large-scale flow changes suggested in those latter papers [linking Arctic sea ice loss to polar vortex behavior].

The study cited only focused on the month of JANUARY, and concluded that the polar vortex did not influence polar ice melt. 1st of all, polar ice melt mostly occurs in spring/summer/fall months and that study couldn't possible make an authoritative conclusion, using it's methods, on polar ice melt linkage to the polar vortex. They don't make any conclusions in the paper about linkage of the polar vortex to AGW.

Another case of some conservative stink tank/PAC/lobby group spreading misleading or irelevant stuff.
