The weather people must be feeling guilty about their complicity in the global warming hoax so they get touchy about obscure and irrelevant details of terminology. Do your freaking jobs — which involves debunking the global warming hoax — and don’t worry if the polar air coming south this summer has the appropriate public label.
A Vortex is between the stratosphere and the troposphere. It doesn’t come down far enough to affect local weather.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
They had to come up with a new phrase so the people who don’t pay attention think that this is something new that never happened before. All that is happening is that the jet stream will be dipping south bringing colder air. But if they say that then they can’t blame it on Gore-Bull Warming.
This means that 3rd quarter GDP numbers will ‘unexpectedly’ be terrible. oh my.
Gee, Al Gore assured us that we would all be cooking with HOTTER temperatures. Watch the sophistry that these colder than normal temperatures are the result of man caused climate change and somehow linked to rising CO2 levels that are causing global warming.
I have a polar vortex.
