Inside the Beltway: Polar vortex fits leftist agenda
By Jennifer Harper
The Washington Times
Monday, January 6, 2014
The word of the day is “polar vortex,” which has inspired several thousand press accounts obsessing over the frigid weather pattern now freezing much of the nation — along with a call of fraud.
“Right on schedule, the media have to come up with a way to make it sound like this is completely unprecedented, because they’ve got to find a way to attach this to the global warming agenda. And they have. It’s called the polar vortex. The dreaded polar vortex,” Rush Limbaugh told his listeners as vortex lore reached epic proportions on Monday.

The term polar vortex has been around for decades and is a legitimate weather phenomena. In fact Joe Bastardi is saying another break is possible in February with even colder weather.
Well, at any rate it WAS a legitimate weather event, before the global-climate-change-at-any-cost crowd got ahold of it.
Polar Vortex just sounds like a sequel to Sharknado.
Just keep calling it “global warming” - it is starting to tweak them.
I saw a CNN news babe say “We don’t call it Global Warming anymore- we call it Climate Change” because it was getting embarassing to talk about global warming in the midst of their conversation about the current cold-snap
I’d love to know the difference between a “polar vortex” and a cold front. I’m no weather expert, but I think it has something to do with the jet stream. Arctic air moves down and then across the USA. It’s called winter.
no to be confused with “thooper thtorm thandy”.
My,my,my. Just where did all this cold come from? Sometimes a hockey stick is just a hockey stick.
We need to start naming all polar vortices. I think this one should be Al. Maybe, Bill or Barack could be next. Chavez?
Of course, "climate change" is a completely meaningless phrase. As long as there are daily variations in our weather there will be climate change. So the conversations about "climate change" are like Seinfeld episodes: They are conversations about nothing.
Chicken Little was a DemocRat, you know....

Polar Vortex “Excuse” Makes Senator Jeanne Shaheen Look Like a Moron

Jeanne Shaheen’s New Global Warming Induced Voter Base
Warming creates warming. Warming creates cooling. NH Democrat Timmy Horrigan informed us (in comments) that Global Warming Theory predicts more snow (which will come as a surprise to Senator Jeanne Shaheen). And now we’ve got this newly imagined polar vortex thing to explain the cold temperatures that none of those computer models from all those well-funded activists experts, ever predicted.
And another big unexpected side-effect of global warming? Plenty of living space for those polar bears. We’ve got more ice on the poles (both of them, in summer no less) than we can shake an endangered species at. (Any day now we’ll start hearing about how too much habitat will be devastating to the Polar bear Population. Mark my words, it’s coming.)
And of course it hasn’t warmed in 16 years, ancient times compared to Climate scientist Jeanne Shaheen’s catastrophic predictions for New Hampshire circa 2008.
The halcyon days of 2008, when John Lynch was signing RGGI to raise energy rates so they could use the taxes to expand the energy consuming bureaucracy in Concord.
Climate model Jeanne Shaheen strutted down the campaign runway in some of the finest talking points the DNC could dress her with. Those would be the ones where she predicted that Global warming would devastate our tourism economy with less snow, lousy leaf peeping, and dried up maple syrup production.
And she wasn’t alone. NH Democrats, based on the same “theory” continued making a State that is a net exporter of energy by 25% of its power from more expensive, less efficient green providers, wherever they might be. All in the midst of the worst recession in history, on the heels of an “irresponsible” 9.6 trillion dollar deficit caused by unnecessary wars and tax cuts for big oil.

Aw, heck. I guess the sky is falling again.
I saw the same on the Weather Channel...the weather babe said that she was getting twitter/facebook/email messages hammering her about what a scam it is for them to call this Global Warming...she went on to say that they now call it Climate Change. What load of crap!
What an awesome picture! Thanks for sharing that!
Only Americans would come up with the term “polar vortex”...

What we have here in America is a liberal vortex. That is the real problem.
