With all the hullabaloo surrounding the phrase ‘polar vortex” in media today, you just knew, this had to be coming. At least it looks more interesting than “Sharknado“.
In case you are wondering why Al Sharpton has a lead role, it is because of this.

Syfy has already run several “ice tornado” movies. They should make it a series.
So, Chris Turney did find polar bears at Mawson’s Hut in Antarctica after all.
It is truly amazing what climate scientists can find.
And the Oscar goes to …
I always loved this creepy image:

You joke but The Day After Tomorrow was a real movie.
And it is quoted by concerned commenters as a prophetic vision:

How can we survive in A WORLD GONE MAD!!!
I was thinking if calling it “BearNado”
Soundtrack Suggestion: (MOST of the lines are right on — could change a few words and take out the teen-aged-boy sexual innuendo in the middle and it would be PERFECT — even has wolves howling and Arctic wind blowing (distant echoes of “The Cremation of Sam McGee,” heh (wave of the hand to Mrs. Beardsley)) — from Vincent Price’s narration, e.g., “and though you fight to stay alive, your body starts to shiver… — Aaaa HA, HA, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaa!” )
“You start freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes.”
“Chiller” — (“Thriller” by Michael Jackson)
“YOU’RE OUT OF TIME.”
Oh, and (sorry to have forgotten to say this!) — GREAT IDEA for a satire movie!
Aaack — “Beardsley”

They keep playing the 97% of climat4 scientists surveyed say game. Let’s do our own cherry picked survey of WUWT readers.
Let’s make it about affirmative action racism. I’m pretty sure we can find a hand picked 97 % of California Democrats who believe AA is government enforced racism that should be abolished by the Supremes.
That aught to set Sharpton’s weave on fire.
Show of hands?

We know perfectly well that it was a real movie. A Real Movie of the Science-less Fiction kind…
Pity about all that solid CO2 he’s turning into gas in his “lab”. No wonder it is warm in there!
Nylo, sorry I thought I was obviously mocking the delusional Grauniadista who couldn’t tell fact from fiction.
The sneer doesn’t come through so well in text. My accent is quite disdainful in person.
Yes, Nylo (how’s one of our finest math geniuses doing, these days, btw? — Huh? You, of course! — hope all is well)
And, while that movie was a blatant attempt at propaganda (based on l1es), this would be a devastatingly accurate satire and mocking of the l1ars.

Thanks for the reminder of “The Cremation of Sam McGee”. My dad used to recite that and “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”. Brought back memories. Thanks again.
“The Right Wing needs a new talking point” says the buffoon spouting talking points.
M. Kelly — No problem. Thanks for saying so! That is the only ballad I memorized entirely — thanks to my dad! “There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold, and the Arctic trails have their secret tails that would make your blood run cold. … ” ah, well, better stop, hm?
Oh, BROTHER! For me, this is “Spell People’s Last Names Wrong Day.” Arrgh. Kelly. (only excuse is I have a lifelong girlfriend whose maiden name is “Kelley.”) Sorry.

“You joke but The Day After Tomorrow was a real movie.
And it is quoted by concerned commenters as a prophetic vision:”
I think Emmerich is indeed a visionary. Consider the timeline of the movie – first, Manhattan gets flooded – like in real life during Sandy – then, it gets frozen – as in now; by ultra cold air from above – like the polar vortex.
Of course, Hollywood forced him to compress his visions to a voyage of the hero timeline; and forced him to overdo the flooding and the freezing, but in general, he was right.
Let’s say, an enigmatic prophet; but aren’t they all?
=======================================================================
That would have been good. The ads could have been, “Watch BEARNADO!…if you think you can bear it!”
That leaves room for the sequel, “CUBNADO…It’s not just cute anymore!”
(Of course “BareNado” might get more viewers, depending on who was in it.)

Angry that all the GCM’s got it 100% backwards? Time to try again! We’ll wait 30 years before we trust you again, kay?
@gunga, “Cubnado: The Son of Bearnado” that is much more commercially viable because if you did not see “Bearnado” you’d be forced to go and watch that first (or again because it is so memorable)
secret tales, surely.
So, Tawana Brawley’s Godfather needs only a white lab coat to become a climate scientist peer to Vice President AlGore, Earth Band Manfred Mann, and Christ Turney.
Yes, yes, thanks for the correction, Mr. F.. This is just not my day. Always good to be reminded to proof read more carefully. Sigh.
