Things are Starting to Heat Up Part VI 10
- Thread starter dik
- Start date
Given:
1. US and China have similar land areas
2. China’s population is ~5x the US’
Find:
Why is the US environment relatively pristine and China’s filthy?
Cleanliness = filth/filtration
Filtration = greenery mi^2
Filth = people * per-capita emissions
Ans. Environmental cleanliness is obviously more a function of population than per-capita emissions —-> per capita stats and greenie efforts don’t matter.

Sorry dik that does not explain a high pressure area that is held in place for months and especially now with all the night time cooling, and lets not forget the jet stream is not allowed to move it.
The heat can also be generated by other means than cold northern seas, as is obviously is. Strange thing since I have been mentioning seeing the depicted pressure areas on the local news weather,
the weather person has not shown that for many days now. Just an interesting coincidence.

"The jet stream flows high overhead and causes changes in the wind and pressure at that level. This affects things nearer the surface, such as areas of high and low pressure, and therefore helps shape the weather we see. Sometimes, like in a fast-moving river, the jet stream’s movement is very straight and smooth. However, its movement can buckle and loop, like a river’s meander. This will slow things up, making areas of low pressure move less predictably.
The jet stream can also change the strength of an area of low pressure. It acts a bit like a vacuum cleaner, sucking air out of the top and causing it to become more intense, lowering the pressure system. The lower the pressure within a system, generally the stronger the wind, and more stormy the result.
On the other hand, a slower, more buckled jet stream can cause areas of higher pressure to take charge, which typically brings less stormy weather, light winds and dry skies."
So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

Warming? This last winter huge probably record snow falls in the Yukon, Gold miner show on tv all the old timers from the area saying the most they have seen.
Jet stream, and like damming a river just do the same with the jet stream, by creating a high pressure, that is what causes the buckling you mention.
And no matter what affects the jet stream, you yourself just proved that GASES or Co2 has absolutely nothing to do with weather or climate. So thanks for that information.
Unusual weather is done via manipulation of the jet stream per your post.

There's a new book coming out...
"Thunberg, who is still studying, said her least favourite subject in school was economics , because it is 'this thing that we humans have made up and we now worship it'.
The activist is due to release her first book 'The Climate Book' on October 27 and it is intended to be the manual for understanding what is happening to the world, why, and how to change it.
The book includes input from a host of experts including Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organisation; Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development; Silpa Kaza from the World Bank; economist Thomas Piketty – to write on their specialist subject."

Is that the same WHO that covered up the outbreak of the COVID causing virus? You sure love your Chinese propaganda.
Please do answer, you dropped some big names as specialists. Can you please explain what their specialism is?

It's not Chinese propaganda... Greta did this all by herself, she was not prompted by anyone. Just because you disagree with something, it doesn't have to be Chinese.
As far as the experts go, the article stated that they had commentary. I'll have to wait until the book comes out. Remarkable for a youngster.

I can't believe anybody believes she actually wrote the book.

She might surprise you, Tug... In another matter another winter may be coming, as expected. This is from Fox, so I'd consider the source.

Did you have time to write a book while studying in university? I didn't think so. She's either getting a fake degree or is a fake author

I could have if I had have wanted to... just didn't feel a need for it. I still haven't. I have no idea what her work load is or what her work ethic is... it seems to be pretty high. In my final year, I had time to do up a 200 page thesis... almost like a book, and only 1 year. I'll wait until the book comes out and see what it's like...I just pre-ordered the book. It's out in Feb... 464 pages.
