The weather system 'actually sounds like a crappy science fiction movie to me,' he says. Limbaugh slams polar vortex 'hoax'

Rush Limbaugh on Monday accused the media and liberals of creating the polar vortex to “lie” to the public about the “hoax” of climate change and global warming.

The conservative radio host told his listeners that “the left, the media, everybody” came up with “this phrase called the ‘polar vortex’” to connect the current cold weather conditions around the country to “the global warming agenda.”


“We are having a record-breaking cold snap in many parts of the country,” he said, according to a transcript. “And right on schedule the media have to come up with a way to make it sound like it’s 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.”

Limbaugh said liberals are “in the middle of a hoax, they’re perpetrating a hoax, but they’re relying on their total dominance of the media to lie to you each and every day about climate change and global warming.”

“So they created the polar vortex, and the polar vortex, something’s happened, and that cold air which normally stays is in the North Pole, something’s happening, something deeply mysterious and perhaps tragic is happening,” Limbaugh said.

The weather system “actually sounds like a crappy science fiction movie to me,” according to the radio host.

“My point is you have a lot of people who are believing that this is as cold as it’s ever been,” Limbaugh later added. “You might think that flies in the face of global warming. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Global warming’s not climate change, and we, folks, are causing all of this, you must understand. The hoax continues.”

“I’m telling you, the truth and the left never intersect anymore,” Limbaugh told his listeners.
