While America collectively freaks out over their impending 'polar vortex'...

I'm not freaking out, I'm just saddened that the Algor's environazis aren't sitting home, alone, in the dark, freezing.

I searched for "polar vortex" because I'd never heard the term. I found a Business Insider article saying they're somewhat similar to tornadoes but in the Arctic. As I read I wondered when they'd blame it all on global warming.

The very next paragraph said NOAA scientists say it's related to warming temperatures in the Arctic that can send these storms spinning off our way. But you had to read to the very last paragraph to learn that not all scientists think the current cold snap is caused by a polar vortex and that: "Many factors, including random chaos in the development of weather patterns, can produce such extreme winter events."

Talk about burying the lead!
