Why does the Jet Stream get distorted? The Arctic gets hit much harder by temperature rises. This causes the difference in temperature to narrow between the North Pole and the Equator. This in turn slows down the speed at which wind travels from the Tropics to the…
This is the story but (in my humble opinion) NOT the entire story Review: Arctic Temperature Amplification Influence on Polar Vortex Causing Severe Winter Weather Paul Beckwith In my last few videos I discussed the brutal cold snap that has extended downward in the USA, as far south as the Mexican border and the Gulf of Mexico. It temporarily wiped out about 1/3 of the Texas power grid, plunging 4.5 million Texas households into extended cold and darkness. If you assume that…
