After that airplane incident the other day which featured massive turbulence, including a baby being thrown several rows away, who bet on “Warmists will blame this on Hotcoldwetdry”?
Fasten Seat Belts: Climate Change Could Mean More Turbulence
“Could” is one of my favorite scientific words, because it could mean anything and has no measurable testing requirements.
Sudden turbulence injured crew and passengers on two flights an ocean apart this week, and the back-to-back bumpy rides are more than a coincidence — winter weather and changing climate patterns may have played a role. Technology to precisely anticipate the “clear air turbulence” likely to blame for both flights just doesn’t exist, experts say.
The first incident occurred on Monday, when United Airlines flight about to land at Billings, Montana, was rattled by sudden turbulence, which left two passengers and three flight attendants injured. The jolt also tossed a baby from its mother’s arms and into a nearby seat, where it landed unharmed. The second occurred aboard a Cathay Pacific flight out of San Francisco hit a patch of rough air above Japan, and a high-altitude “roller-coaster†ride left eight crew and passengers in hospital.
Oh, but if you thought it was the warmth created warmth from fossil fuels, alas, no
“Winter is when turbulence is the worst,†Williams said. “It’s when the jet stream is strongest … And that’s why we’re seeing the two encounters this week.â€
So it is the warmth created cold from fossil fuels that could make turbulence worse.
Buckle Up, It’s Going to Be a Bumpy FutureThe bad news is that research suggests our travel is likely to get bumpier in the coming decades. Computer models have predicted that climate change and increased carbon dioxide levels will speed up the jet stream, leading to more serious episodes by 2050.
Once Warmists trot out “computer models”, especially when they “suggest”, game over. We’ve just gone into La La Land where science is conducted by unicorns who far out rainbows.
Captain said, “Could†is one of my favorite scientific words, because it could mean anything and has no measurable testing requirements. Possibly, is another very climate sciency word. Indicated, predicted, may be, evidence leads to, are other good sciency words.
Two stories, In my geology class, field trip reports were required. an engineering student got a C on his first report. He compared reports with classmates and went to the professor to discuss his problem as his reports were the same as his classmates. The professor pointed out to the budding engineer that in Geology statements of fact are too strong. Words like “the evidence indicates” “possibly”, “could be” were prefered as we were not there in time to be able to state factually what happened.
My dad, a Phd, would read scientific journals with a red pen and cross out the could’s, should’s,possibly’s etc. He hated imprecise conclusions that the data would not bear up.
According to the CNN exit polls for 2012 only 42% of the people with post grad degrees voted for Romney. COULD it be that the smart people believe in AGW ?
Teach how dare you say that the US Navy are “unicorns who far out rainbows” Wait….. what exactly does that phrase mean ? cDoes it even make any sense?
Sounds impressive john until you realize that according to the same poll, 51% of the people with college degrees voted for Romney.
In other words, the majority of the so called “intelligent people” voted for Romney. I
Teach never says that in the article john and you know it. How sad it is for you that you have to make stuff up in order to try and prove a point.
How is life under the bridge?
It was probably a micro burst which is rapidly descending air that occurs at times around the planet. A China airlines flight over the Pacific a few years ago fell from 35000ft to 2500ft before the pilot regained control.
Used to be a natural phenomenon. Now climate change is in charge of it,,,er maybe, sorta, could be, or maybe not.
With the holidays coming, this is a great item to stock up on.
The good news is, an awful lot of book sellers and bookstores get pity on soon-to-be
broke university pupils and supply them exceptional back-to-school specials
and reductions. I realized that Suzanne had been hired to get close to me
and legally discredit my state of mind.
