questionmark Posted February 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2014 CHICAGO, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- The jet stream is taking a slower, more circuitous route across North America, the result being longer-lasting, more extreme weather patterns -- scientists say. Presenting their findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held recently in Chicago, researchers Jennifer Francis and Mark Serreze said the change in jet stream behavior is likely due to rapidly warming temperatures in the Arctic. “This does seem to suggest that weather patterns are changing and people are noticing that the weather in their area is not what it used to be,” Francis, a professor at Rutger University’s Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, told meeting attendees.

krypter3 Posted February 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Must be Obama's fault. Don't you know, every single thing that goes wrong in American is Obama's fault. On a serious note, it'll be interesting to see how the stream continues to change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Crane Feather Posted February 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If it causes more and longer droughts in California, we will be in a lot of hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted February 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Its snowed here more and been colder than it has in a long time and I'm sick of it. California is in a world of hurt, If they try to irrigate by pumping water out of the aquifers they are going to end up in even more trouble. Other places out west are having severe prolonged droughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Sustained droughts have killed many cultures in the California area in the past. California is not really capable of sustaining itself given its location. http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/debunker/reality-check-californias-drought-n37386 Br Cornelius Edited February 26, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear California is about to get more water than they know what to do with. Stay tuned. BTW: the "Noahkian Storms" of 1862 set rainfall and flood records in California and Oregon that in some cases were more than four times anything that has happened since. California knows how to have a flood. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesareskykittens Posted March 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It is kind of crazy how dependent we are on the ocean currents for stable weather. I do wish these kind of changes got made attention to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
