I'm not sure, since your question runs on a bit. However, I read that Al Roker felt it necessary to point out that the term "polar vortex" had been in use for at least 50 years, and therefore is not a propaganda term invented by climate scientists to scare people. The polar vortex by itself is not a shutdown of the Gulf Stream, nor would it cause such a shutdown so far as I know. It might even delay it, by cooling Greenland.
Hurricanes, typhoons and polar vortices are all just types of cyclones. Hurricanes occur in the north Atlantic, typhoons in the north Pacific and polar vortices are centered in the Arctic.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Is what's happening with the polar vortex the same thing scientists talked about 10 yrs ago and the Gulf Stream Conveyor belt and shutting it down because of too much regular water mixing with salt water and stopping the Conveyor belt?
