“Polar Vortex”? Obviously the extreme cold has frozen the brains of the “God of Global Warming” worshiping nutcases.

It is 14 degrees here in DEEP SOUTH MISSISSIPPI this morning and I would kick the snot out of any so-called globull warming scientist stating to my face that this was the result of globull warming. I want these criminals exposed, charged, prosecuted and JAILED under the RICO Act!

In 2013 you advocated massive Government intervention in trade.

But at least you kept it on threads about ... trade.

However 2014 is a new year!

Now you apparently believe that the only reason FR isn’t enthusiastically backing a huge tariff-fueled increase in Government is because you haven’t been spamming enough unrelated threads.

according to some climate change researchers.

The operative word here, people, is 'researchers', an apt translation of which might be 'people who don't know'.

Thanks to Rush for explaining the polar vortex. He got his material from Business Insider. This vortex is perfectly normal and its fluctuations have nothing to do with global warming

It’s 17 here in Mobile with the wind chill in the single digits! BRRRRRRRR! Hey though, I guess that’s almost tropical compared to what’s happening up North.

Global warming may be contributing to the “polar vortex”, but the cause of Global Warming is Global Cooling.

To call these political operatives “reseachers” is an insult to all researchers. They are shills for the glo-BULL warming industry of climate-change idiots.

In reality, the polar vortex is merely an old fasioned trough

Throughs have been missing for a few years but as of today, at least one is back. The little red weather icon says -1

that’s what winter troughs do. They bring cold air to the lower 48

Only twisted fools can embrace this.

Simple elementary education teaches this is not true.

Idiots are being targeted with this crap.

What's the difference between Laura Barron-Lopez (the authoress of this piece) and a bag of hammers?

The bag of hammers has a higher IQ.

I asked my son, who has a meteorology degree about this. He said it was nothing new—there’s always a big cap of cold air over the North Pole in Winter. Sometimes it spills into Siberia, sometimes it spills into Canada. It’s not like the mythical tropospheric hurricanes of “The Day After Tomorrow.”

What is new, apparently, is that the media has seized on a new magic fright phrase—polar vortex.

It's just as likely that one of the turtles that support the world had a bad case of gas.

After all, it's turtles all the way down.

It’s 4.6 degrees F in beautiful, downtown Davidsonville, MD. While that is unusually cold for these climes, it’s hardly unheard of. A quick search reveals that the record low in this little hamlet in Maryland is -8 degrees F, set in 1984.
