Its not climate its just weather, bro. The climate has always been changing, bro. Solar? The sun doesn't even shine at night, bro. Your insurance company is just ripping you off, bro. Not every species deserves to make it, bro. How about this April snowball, bro?
I mean, bro's definitely not wrong about the insurance company thing.
But if you press him, he probably thinks it’s because it’s controlled by, you know, the globalists! The George Soros people 🤦♂️
Yet he’s likely also opposed to getting rid of health insurance companies, because they aren’t ripping you off. Not like tax-funded health care would.
Messing with the jet stream is terrifying.
means you get a lot of extremes next to each other,” Maue said. Storm fronts coming from the Pacific hit that high pressure heat dome in the Southwest and are pushed north to climb that mountainous jet stream peak, “grab access to that cold air reservoir up there” and bring it back down south down the other side of the hill, he said.
Numerous studies have connected unusual jet stream and polar vortex activity to shrinking Arctic sea ice and human-caused climate change.
The article doesn't talk about impact on this year's crops, but I can't imagine this is good for agriculture.
I'm in the UK and this will destroy us
It will destroy all of us, just at different times..
And in the mean time, mass migration and starvation!
This? Idk I think the UK should be more worried about Atlantic current collapse
Ask any old farmer about "hardiness zones", they've been creeping northwards for decades.
Last year most of the fields around me turned to slop as it was too wet for many weeks, and most fields couldn't get equipment through the mud
"The article doesn't talk about impact on this year's crops, but I can't imagine this is good for agriculture."
Good, fuck the farmers, they deserve this most on top of their bankruptcies.
They have voted for this for generations.
If only we could limit the damage to people who deserve it.
??????
It's going to be alright. They plan to fix this. See they are going to dismantle NOAA and every other organization capable of forecasting the weather...
Knowing things is "woke" and now considered doubleplusungood.
Just wait until PEDOnald and his crime wave unleash Gen Alpha / Gen Z against any professors from departments considered politically incorrect according to the Drumpfghanistan regime.
They'll get to wear a dunce cap and have a struggle session to explain how they wronged America, etc...the conservatives practically ache to reenact some of the very worst aspects of Communist regimes, including Lysenkoism, and the struggle sessions and/or disappearing of inconvenient experts would be something they would delight in.
Would not be surprised if this shitty government were to make anti-evolution xtian theme parks like Ark Encounter into National monuments in order to prop up Young Earth Creationist bullshit, too...
There's a documentary from the future that showed people calling smart people fags. Smart people were breeded out of existence.
Good. Everything is deserved. This is what we get for letting uneducated people vote and lead countries who in turn underfund education and perpetuate the problem. We absolutely live in Idiocracy.
As Tool once said:
'Cause mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits
And the giant multibillion dollar corporations that feed them fake bullshit.
Remember when trump said there were legal post birth abortions? The media shrugged it off despite the millions of hours of coverage of joe biden being old.
Remember when the first tranche of epstein files were released and it was alleged trump was on a boat where an infant was killed?
You see, the jet stream used to be a mostly horizontal line.
But now, the jet stream is more... "Jeremy Bearimy".
But what about the dot over the "i"?
Tornado.
It's wild. I complained to a friend the other day. I said "This winter has been weird. Maybe that whole thing about global warming was right"
The dude was incredulous.
"I don't know about that" he said. And then dropped an entire ten minutes of absolute nonsense defending why climate change is fake.
Like, mother fucker this has been established for decades at this point and you have seen what's been happening! To say it's widely accepted is an absolute understatement!
The blind eye folks are are willing to turn is insane at this point. My comment was just a lead in to gauge what the current response is.
I think we are absolutely fucked.
Those all sound like late 80s album names.
I mean, the US is geographically huge, even just the continental US. You're bound to get all these and more on a spring day across the whole country.
Agreed! These Once In A Lifetime Weather events are NORMAL and TOTALLY out of Our Control! The US is BIG!
Which is why all of these events are “once in a hundred year” occurrences all happening at the same time and for not the first time this year, let alone the past 5.
You do but usually not this many at once and especially not after breaking so many record high temps in the last year.
Does this mean winter is gonna show up or what?!?!
Please include the Orange and MAGA on the list.
It's a big place. Lots of opportunity for different weather patterns.
Is this the new Astroturfed counter argument? The USA Is big? Jesus we're fucked.
America's size will be Schrodinger's Cat in various arguments. If it's about climate change - we're yooooge. If it's about migration, well, the country is a tiny little place, and it's full, sorry. At least if it's about brown people.
Trains? Sowwy cant. No munnies.
Billions in oil subsidies? Sure we have extra.
Ridiculous roads with 8 lanes? Yes pls.
Car manufacturer subsidies, insane import export restrictions and insane parking requirements for cars that increase housing costs by 10%-50%? Yup.
It really boils me that the only laws that are enforced on rich people are car import restrictions.
Too yuuuuge to NOT deluuuuuge!!
Sure lets fuck with the ecosystem just because it's big.
The fuck is wrong with you? Do you have a fraction of understanding what happens when we pass climate thresholds? Do you understand how many people literally will die? Or do you simply not care.
Climate change is real. I don't need to believe in it. It has done terrible things to the world. There needs tie be serious substantial changes in how the government's and big business act. There needs to be real pressure put on the elite jet setters.
The fact that the country spans from the arctic circle, down to damn near the equator is the reason there are such different weather patterns. The problem isnt the variety, it's the location. There is an expectation to have heat on Florida, tornadoes in the alley, cold in the north. The problem is that they sensationalized the news to the point where you have to be a damn scientist to know wether this is a shift from the expected or bonkers off the wall.
Our systems have been overloaded for years and we have groups that do not know how to critical think or check for bias in the news articles they read, and that leads to panic.
To see a headline and immediately jump to a conclusion is the wrong thing. It has to be read and questioned. Before it can be understood and reacted to.
Ngl, but each of those sound like bad ass moves in pokemon.
Nice!
Meteorological buzz words, baby
Confidently incorrect one-liner, baby!!!
Aww man
