(12,233 posts)patterns have emerged... Like scientists have been stating for years, dry areas and deserts would emerge, hurricanes would become stronger, flooding more prone, and winter weather more intense.
I don't really have the time to go over the basics of what normally occurs with our rotation, coriolis effect, wind patterns, jet streams on a normal basis and how that the oceans temperature rising and losing glacial ice sheets is changing these effects. The polar cold air mass split this year. Australia I burning. The Mississippi nearly dried up to the point of not allowing shipping from the heartland.
So, it is global warming... These more intense changes in storms and air masses and ocean currents are a global issue. The wealthy oil asses say we can just adjust as these more wild destructive storms and conditions increase, but knowing how our world works and who is screwed the most, it is people who are poorer that will suffer the most.
