This meme is a humorous take on the concept of the "polar vortex" in weather forecasting. The text reads: "Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift into the Great Plains. The frigid temps you're experiencing because of a warming planet, not in spite of it." The meme is accompanied by two images, one showing a stable polar vortex and the other a wavy one, with arrows and labels explaining the differences between the two.
