The Jet Streams

[HBS Guy]

North and South.

Both getting chaotic due to the poles warming faster than lower latitudes due to albedo changes + AGW.

This will cause weird and extreme weather.

I think this subject deserves a thread on its own. To kick it off:

Antarctica is rather different to the Arctic: it is land not sea. But the southern jet stream is still being affected by polar amplification.

Will post some Paul Beckwith Youtubes later.

When is the next IPCC report due?

[HBS Guy]

No idea.

Here is one result of “Arctic Amplification” of AGW:

Polar Warming Translates South as June-Like High Pressure Ridge Brings Record-Smashing Temperatures to Eastern U.S. in February
The North Atlantic and Arctic weather pattern is a real mess. Frequent episodes of severe polar warmth relative to normal conditions for this time of year have been a persistent feature. Arctic sea ice extents are at record lows. Meanwhile, the upstream atmosphere generated a record-smashing high pressure system and related abnormal warmth over the U.S. East on Wednesday.

Read the article, you will see clearly what AGW+Arctic Amplification are doing to weather and climate.
