In Warmist World, of course it is. And by “warming”, they mean “man caused”
Is global warming causing extreme weather via jet stream waves?
A new study investigates how changes to atmospheric winds are making weather more extreme
Extreme compared to…..? Oh, right, computer models. Here’s where it gets fun
As I sit here in a northern part of the United States (Minnesota), a rare summer arctic blast barrels down from Canada on what otherwise is one of the warmest days of the year. Global warming? I could use some global warming today, people are saying.
Not only is this a teachable moment, but it coincides with a major new study on climate connections. First, let’s see the current jet stream. It is wildly undulating, first swinging up into northern Canada before curving back and plunging into the central United States.
A teachable moment?
Warmist Abraham: Cold weather in summer is "teachable moment"; lesson is <cough-mumble>? #climate #hysteria http://t.co/T7mAwN0iu8

The latest study is related to this topic but still unique. The authors don’t ask the question “are humans changing the jet stream patterns?â€. Instead, they ask, “how do undulations in the jet stream affect weather?â€. To be fully accurate, the study isn’t just about jet streams, it really deals with mid-latitude planetary waves but for this article, I will use the term “jet stream†as a surrogate for simplicity.
The lesson Warmist John Abraham and Dana Nuccitelli are pushing is that it is mostly/solely Mankind’s fault that the jet stream undulates, because that has never happened before, bringing cold air in summer. Might this actually be a sign of cooling? Oh, right, if that happens, Warmists will blame Mankind.
A changing jet stream is not causing more cooling it’s just redistributing cold air. Why is the jet stream changing?
I don’t know if Deniers really don’t understand the physics of heat distribution on Earth or if they just play dumb. Unless the Deniers have discovered a new heat source, the Earth’s surface warmth comes from the Sun. Jet streams, winds, currents, El Nino’s, La Nina’s move the heat around. Volcano and human generated aerosols can block some Sun. Greenhouse gases trap heat. This all contributes the variability in the surface temperature record, but the trend is up, up and away.
Jeff,
If what we are experiencing is “global warming”, then I am all for it. One thing I know for sure and that is your bunch will never, ever do anything to influence the weather. But you will try as hard as possible to destroy us.
dave,
Since man has caused the Earth to warm why would you know for sure that man can never change the climate?
How would mitigating the effects of global warming, or slowing CO2 emissions “destroy us”?
No proof man has caused the earth to warm. Or are you talking about the urban heat island effect?
j,
Who are you bravely arguing with?
Atmospheric CO2 retains heat. CO2 going up steadily. Increase in CO2 from burning fossil fuels. Earth warming steadily. No reasonable alternative explanation.
Game, set, match to warmist astrologers. Where is the evidence from the noble skeptic scientists that refutes the theory?
“Is global warming causing…” Stop right there. The answer is already ‘yes’.
And the effect it will have on us is the worst thing you can possibly imagine. Possibly worse than you can imagine. That’s how cults of armageddon work.
