I can't imagine what makes you think "the guy is right". He starts the video by saying he doesn't know what it is, and he sounds completely clueless to me like he has no idea what he's talking about, so I don't even understand what "right" means, right about what?

I think the guy is right, seems like the first time I actually heard of this phenomenon. I wonder why more about this is not being let out by science of the earth.

He doesn't explain the source of the models. At 4 minutes he says "We're looking at pressure models and wind speed models."
What models? Who made the models? What are the data sources being input to the models and how are the data processed?
What it looks like to me is an artifact of the models, which if you talked to someone who really understood the models they would probably tell you to just disregard that spot directly over the axial north pole as the model produces a bit of a glitch there at the pole. But he's making some big deal out of it like he thinks it's something real and not just an artifact of the model. Apparently, he knows very little about the models and about modeling in general and doesn't understand how they work.
A lot of the comments in that thread are pretty nutty too. The viewers of that crap seem at least as clueless as the maker of the video, like people talking about crazy unrelated stuff, like hollow earth "theory":
"Great Video BP. This appears to support Byrd's Expedition and a hollow earth theory."
What? Nothing about that video supports a hollow earth theory. Many other comments are equally nutty.
Well one guy talks about a UFO sighting he had years ago, and he probably saw a UFO but why is he bringing it up? The video doesn't show a UFO, so that's just nutty because it's so unrelated, I don't doubt he saw a UFO, lots of people have. But nobody has ever seen the thing in the video, the maker of the video even says that, which should be your first clue it's probably an artifact of the unspecified model(s).
I read a lot of the comments (not all) and why aren't people asking him for more details about the model(s) he's showing? Without that information, they have no idea what they are looking at, but that doesn't stop them from making stupid comments about the hollow earth theory being somehow supported.
The scariest comments is made by a pilot, scary because I fly a lot and I hope he's not piloting any plane I'm a passenger in:
"It’s time I contribute here. I’m an airline pilot. I’ve been experiencing very unusual phenomena over the last year. To me, that clearly is an object under propulsion."
It's not an object, and it's not under propulsion, it's stationary. It stays over the north pole and you can see artifacts of the artifact anywhere from ground level up to 84,000 feet high.
It hasn't been established there is a phenomenon like the one he shows in the video, it looks like an artifact of whatever modeling is being used because it's exactly over the north axial pole exactly where one might expect a modeling artifact as the rotational speeds go from non-zero-values to zero exactly at the pole. His comments about the fact it can't be seen etc support it NOT being real, and it doesn't make any sense from a physical perspective. It does however make some sense as a modeling artifact at the pole and that's what I bet it is.

He is right in the fact that this phenonymon is being ignored by those who teach earth sciences. It is probably real, and most likely normal, but it is not taught in schools.

The video you posted doesn't show a vortex anything like Jupiter's polar vortex, so your "if" seems misplaced based on what you posted. This is what Jupiter's vortex looks like in infrared:

If the earth's vortex is similar to Jupiter's, it would be at the stationary north pole which judges tilt of the planet.
Before you said "If the earth's vortex is similar to Jupiter's" and I showed they are not similar, now it sounds like you are agreeing with me they are not similar. I don't know how much attention you paid to the video you linked, it shows a polar vortex that's many, many times larger than the artifact directly over the axial north pole, so they are not the same thing.

I have seen pictures of the effect of Jupiters currents on that polar annomoly over the decades from multiple sources but it is not going to be the same as on a gas planet with different atmosphere chemicals than here on earth.
Referring to the Earth or Jupiter? The video you linked says the semicircle thing at the Earth's north pole is not at the magnetic pole, it's at the axial pole. To me that says it's not magnetic, I don't know why you think otherwise, that makes no sense.
This is a sort of magnetic phenomenon I think.

I think your name should be the paranoid guy instead!
“Even under optimistic climate change scenarios, where societies enact ambitious efforts to limit global temperature rise, global agriculture is facing a new climate reality,” Jägermeyr said. “And with the interconnectedness of the global food system, impacts in even one region’s breadbasket will be felt worldwide.”
Key Discoveries/Benefits
White lupins have numerous advantages for farmers and the environment. They potentially have a high yield and can be used as a highly nutritious feed for cattle or food for human consumption. White lupins capture carbon and nitrogen from the air, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the crop.
With sweet white lupins growing in popularity in Asia and Europe, the time is ripe for Canadian farmers. Lupin Platform Inc., an agri-business based in Calgary, Alberta, has partnered with farmers and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) scientists to develop this crop in Canada.
Dr. Aaron Mills, an AAFC agronomist on Prince Edward Island, is among the project partners and is studying how well different varieties of white lupins grow on the Island.
“The paper is a brilliant example of how modern technology can improve outcomes from plant breeding without the need for genetic modification,” says Wallace Cowling, a plant breeder at the University of Western Australia who was not involved.
The EU has been promoting the use of lupin and other legumes because member nations want to grow more protein in northern climates, to which lupin is well suited, and import fewer soybeans from parts of the Amazon that are being deforested. “We think lupins will play an important role in that future and these discoveries will help,” Geu-Flores says. If he’s right, more of the countryside may flower as beautifully as village gardens.
Your lack of awareness of the science doesn't mean science is avoiding it, the science is well known, and the history of this science dates back something like 2200 years to 2nd century BC astronomer Hipparcus. The pole only appears to be pointing approximately to the North star during your lifetime because that's so short on cosmic scales, but it doesn't stay pointed at the north star, it precesses on a 26,000 year cycle, similar to the way a toy top precesses when you spin that.

I know this is all about the axial north pole. Something keeps that pole lined up in that position, I have not found why it stays pointing at the North star...but it does. That subject seems to be avoided in science, probably because they are not sure what is maining our tilt to a set point in space.
while today the star Polaris lies approximately at the north celestial pole, this will change over time, and other stars will become the "north star".[3] In approximately 3,200 years, the star Gamma Cephei in the Cepheus constellation will succeed Polaris for this position.
You sound like you're confusing yourself by mixing up different subjects. The video you posted of the anomaly directly over the axial north pole is not over the magnetic pole so it's not related to magnetism. Then you bring up a completely different topic, where NASA is investigating something else over the magentic north pole. That is magnetic but they are not the same thing and your posts don't seem to make it clear that you realize that.
That vortex is caused by something, A bar magnet spinning will create a vortex like that at the pole. The earth is not spinning on it's axis to seemingly create the vortex it shows in that second link I provided. So if it has nothing to do with magnetism, then what actually is causing that vortex?
It's not 100% certain but the hypothesis for the Earth's spin and tilt is a leading candidate to explain both, it's called the Giant impact hypothesis. That provides an potential explanation for the axial tilt, but obviously none of us were there to confirm it.
I honestly do not think they actually know yet why our magnetic and axial pole are different like they are because of lack of them saying anything.
The generation of Earth's magnetic field occurs deep within the Earth's interior, in a layer known as the outer core to be precise. Here the convective energy from the slow-moving molten iron is converted to electrical and magnetic energy, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The magnetic field then induces electric currents which in turn generate their own magnetic field which induces more electric currents, in a positive feedback loop.
It seemed to be not shinning through this grey fog but on this side and my brain was screaming to go inside ,What made me lol was they were blaming fires in Canada for this ? .
Smoke from wildfires in Canada has been picked up in satellite images of the UK, the Met Office has said. Images taken during Thursday's sunrise showed smoke particles in the air which had travelled across the Atlantic.

Yes, smoke from Canada's devasting forest fires did travel across the Atlantic, thas shows how large and severe the problem was/is.

We also get hit with dust storms from the middle east affecting the atmosphere in the UK , but that day was different to any other day I can remember on the planet , the cloud was solid and low lying and horizon to horizon with no breaks and this weird light pretending to be the sun that was burning my skin ? Through or in front of the clouds and what was that smell .
I have worked or lived near petrol refinaries, and I know the smell of burning organic matter , there was massive forest fires 10 + miles from me and you would never know it was happening , in one of my jobs I was trained to run towards the fire not away ,, I have never come across a smell like that or solid clouds or sun like that day , run forest run and danger Will Robinson were getting played at loud volume by my brain .
As a kid I had to Barrow tons of manure from a tractor trailer and then dig it into the vegetable plots and go and collect horse manure regularly for the roses .
The government also told me the vaccine was safe and effective, my noggin told me different

I thought I had seen and smelled just about everything , but that day was a new one , I have watched gas bottles blowing up and depending on their size going 140 to 250 feet in the air , seen kids burned to death in a car fire and their screams when it was to late to reach them
there is a reason firemen drink so hard to forget after what they come across after a fire ? .
I don't know if sceptic guy knows about putting crystals on a record player and have it run on his farm or putting copper wire into the ground where he is growing his crops to keep the bugs away or using manure in the ground rather than chemicals .
One very old family member when I was a kid was a gamekeeper and grew humungus fruit and vegetables it was only years later I descovered he did not have a inside toilet and was using his waste as fertiliser ikyn but I used to take the veg etc into school to show the class , nobody would have believed how big tomatoes ,cooking apples etc could grow .
