It’s been a bad year for global warming propagandists, but fear not: Here comes a polar vortex to make it worse for them.
The unrelenting Arctic blast arrived on Christmas Eve and it remains the holiday houseguest from Hell that won’t leave: Record-breaking cold and snowfall are tormenting the eastern half of the country, and it’s only going to get worse.
