If you feel like the weather has been getting a lot weirder and wilder lately, you’re not alone. While it’s easy to blame climate change, we need to dive deeper. There has been a recent increase in polar vortex events bringing arctic air far enough south to cause snow in places like Texas, extreme heat waves like in the Pacific Northwest, and extreme rain like we saw after Hurricane Ida. Even fires in Siberia and drought hint at a new dust bowl. NOAA’s 2020 Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster report showed a notable uptick in extremes. And 2021 was no exception, with 10.6% of all weather stations reporting record temperatures. And with the continued emission of carbon into the atmosphere, this should come as no real surprise.
But some new scientific research shows that there is a surprising thread that connects nearly all of these weather events. Tune in to learn why it feels like our weather is spiraling out of control and what we might have in store.
Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.

Living in Canada, we've been seeing the changes for a long time. Over 20 years ago I noticed that in my city (east of the Great Lakes) we didn't get winter days where your nostrils stick together anymore. Winters also began being more humid because the lakes don't freeze solid as they used to. The seaway canal rarely freezes now. And last week we had a visit from the Polar Vortex which allowed us to break records that date back to the 1930's (it was -32°C plus wind chill). We're not supposed to get the Polar Vortex because the Jet Stream normally protects us from arctic air. And this is just the start...
I think that's why "climate change" is the prefer term over "global warming" because yes while the world is warming at a fast rate, it's more complicated when you view it at a more local level.
@@devinsmith4790 just my opinion, but I dislike the focus on calling it "climate change" alone. It should be, "rapid climate change caused by global warming". The climate is always changing, usually at a much slower pace, but simply saying "climate change" is not specific enough to describe what is actually happening. It also takes focus away from greenhouse gas emissions, which directly contribute to global warming. Just because the weather is colder than usual for a couple weeks doesn't change the fact that greenhouse gas emissions are causing the atmosphere to retain more heat from the sun.
@@devinsmith4790 it’s also not what they’re telling you. How many times do they have to change the narrative and you think it’s “new science.” Almost everything that the public knows has been researched for decades, and then the narrative is spun by centers of power to fit their agenda. Watch them tell you that they need to save you.
@@_ch1psetlmao how do you know? Were you there? Keep an open mind and be open to new info. Stop trying to fit things into existing theories. That’s not science.
@@_ch1pset
If you want a term that's less of a mouthful, there's "anthropogenic climate change".
I live in south Tennessee in the United States. We've been hit by an unprecedented amount of tornadoes and flooding. When I bought my house, which is over 100 years old, I asked the previous owners (a church who had it built for their ministers) about flooding in the area and if it was necessary to buy flooding insurance. They told me they had only seen the back field flood once since the 60s. I was not in a flood zone either even though we have a small creek about a quarter of a mile behind us. Needless to say in the past 14 years I've lived here that creek has flooded our back field nearly to our back door at least twice a year in the past 5 years. Additionally, we are having a pretty bad mold problem in the area even in newer housing and people are seeing a pretty large amount of floor rot due to moisture. 100 year old farm house which is JUST now seeing the floor rot out due to moisture, well that says something. Never mind the animal migrations. Mountain lions and bears coming south while armadillos are coming up from Mexico. Nature speaks for itself if you listen. You may not agree with the human impact on climate change, but you'd be a fool not to agree that we are seeing change for what ever reason.
you are a wise person, Heather. Thanks for the news from Tennessee. Where I live in the PNW next to the ocean with a great deal of rain, we are also seeing 100 year floods as rain falls on the large Cascade volcanoes instead of snow and/or heat waves (like the one mentioned in the video) melt snow and glaciers so quickly, the rivers rise to levels not seen in decades and spill over the banks into farmland that was drained in the 1920s or 40s (much to the chagrin of the Native Americans who used those waterways in their lifestyle). Highways were destroyed in the interior parts of British Columbia, cutting off communities from supplies. Some towns like Hope required food to be helicoptered in. It was very frightening and likely our biggest risk up here.
You're right, I don't agree with the narrative that climate change is human driven. But there's far worse to worry about, such as the coming pole flip.
It's call harp
@@mickeycabrera325 thats Haarp, to be sure. But it has nothing to do with the coming pole shift.
@@mickeycabrera325 I'm more for the pole shift idea rather than HAARP if we are going down rabbit holes.
Growing up up in the 70s and 80s. I can see a massive difference from then till now.. it's not the same anymore. You knew what to expect as the seasons rolled in years ago. Not no more ...it's nuts...
Weather engineering isn’t a conspiracy theory; it’s a FACT! Climate Change isn’t from humans using fossil fuels - it’s from wealthy globalists trying to play god- to cause chaos, fear and death, as usual! privatized Aerospace and Advanced Technologies have no Congressional oversight, no checks & balances. So what we get are parasitic, dim witted psychopaths sabotaging our world. They gotta go. They are outright narcissistic, self serving lunatics. Just ask the natives of Lahaina, on Maui- They have too much power! You don’t let someone with the awareness of a toddler drive your car do you?
Some powers that be - are corrupted, depraved, and opened themselves to being possessed, due to their lack of spiritual empathy and their self serving, power hungry lust to control e Euronext and everything! When will they ever learn???
I'm not an expert but I know that one cubic meter of water can heat three thousand cubic meters of air to the same temperature, so ocean currents must play a big part in weather patterns because the air above the sea gets heated or cooled by these currents, maybe you guys should make video about that, it sure would be interesting to know more about this concept.
I have seem documentaries about ocean currents. Not certain if this channel has made them yet. even more terrifying...
@@johnnyrebel3340 no
@@johnnyrebel3340 um, what you said is like the opposite of what's happening in this episode, in which they're examining how different forces are interacting with each other. you so brainwashed you just spend all your time remembering what you heard on fox instead of paying attention to what you're watching?
Correct, you're not an expert.
For every degree C the atmosphere heats it can hold 7 % more moisture
Resident of western Oregon here, at ground zero for last year's Pacific Northwest heat dome. This science is vital to me, and I heartily encourage you to keep up this coverage. Thank you!
Just get an air conditioner & not worry about it. Probably would just use it a week or so a year.
Check out Paul Beckwith, you will learn all about the shifting jet stream.
@@ricecakeboii94 we already send energy to power California’s ac
@@darthmaul216 And California wants more water from us. I say we should just get more AC here & send less power there.
You want to hear something totally weird about Portlands heat dome last summer? I was committed to be fishing all 3 days just barely north from the Ridgefield WA boat ramp. We thought we were in for a terrible time but a marine layer moved in for the whole time and protected us as well as the fishing. We hardly caught a sweat and caught limits. Blown away!
As a Texan I’ve only seen snow 2 in my life. This past year I’ve seen it 3 times!!!
Living in Indiana means the Jet Steam passes over us many times a year. This is why our weather is so erratic. We can have 30+ degree swings in the same week and sometimes the same day. Not to mention the extremes of having snow, rain, and then heat waves all in one day or the same week. It is wild
YES, I LIVED THERE AS WELL, BUT FROM CHICAGO , MOVED TO FLORIDA AFTER THE BIG SNOW OF 1979
I miss the indy ice storms. We have them in Ohio but not to the degree, dangerously beautiful extreme my old Indiana home has
you are right I live in Ohio and we laugh looking at the weather forecast the temperature goes up and down in throughout 1 week and does it continuously up and down every week, we ride a teetered totter up and down!
I've lived where I live my whole life. The weather was way worse when I was a kid. Not just because I was a kid and it, "seemed" that way. We used to be able to jump off the roof into snowbanks, go tubing down drainage ditch chutes etc. It's nothing like that now. Just dustings of snow, a rare blizzard or two that's gone in a day or two, and then evaporated and drained out within a week.
@Buck Rothschild ..but the underlying question in all this is "Is it man made" or just a passing phase ? remember our life spans are just a quick flash in the scheme of things...
@@vincentl.9469 A question that has been answered over and over again. The only people with doubts are the people selling fossil fuels and they are spending billions on politicians and focus groups telling folk that it's not a sure thing . Meanwhile pretty every single scientists says it is man made and can present thousands of papers with the proof.
@@vincentl.9469 Ice age coming the historic data is crystal clear, perfectly natural
it’s gonna get wild and bill gates is gonna blame it on you and me but I don’t care I’ll be ice fishing like mad 🎉
So youve lived where youve lived cool
Dumb post with no location sounds like your not truthful
This is interesting. I knew things were changing in the early 1990's because the local lake I would go ice fishing on was freezing up less and less. Being a gardener, I also noticed that my growing season was shifting, some years I could plant a little earlier. It was erratic of course, but general trend was tending toward a shift in my frost zone.
@laughing Atyou what a catty response hahaha you must be reallllly smarty. Praises
I had annuals planted outside Spring 2021. They never died back. It wasn't cold enough. South USA. Blooming their heads off right now! Spring 2022.
@laughing Atyou Great advice to Robert Coplin, dear heart, perhaps you should follow it? First off, it's 'Milankovitch cycle', but we'll keep that between just the two of us. Anyway, Milutin Milankovitch hypothesized the long-term, collective effects of changes in Earth’s position relative to the Sun are a strong driver of Earth’s long-term climate, and are responsible for triggering the beginning and end of glaciation periods. The Milankovitch cycles include orbital eccentricity (100,000 yr. cycle), obliquity (41,000 yr. cycle) and precession (25,771.5 yr. cycle), which are all pretty long-term and don't go very far toward explaining why Robert's forsythia are now blooming in January. As a gardener in Michigan, I've noticed a similar trend over the past 10 years or so. It also doesn't explain observed changes in the migratory and nesting patterns of birds, along with a host of other phenomena. Finally, the idea of Milankovitch cycles being responsible for our current unprecedented episode of warming and climate change is so thoroughly discredited you should be kind of ashamed of yourself for even mentioning it.
@laughing Atyou Really? You can't even SPELL it and you feel entitled to say that to someone? What a healthy self-esteem you have, bless your heart.
I've had to plant later and later each year and spring takes more time to arrive. If the earth is really warming as the so called experts want us to believe, why are we experiencing colder temperatures? 7 degrees cooler than normal......I suppose theyre gonna tell me that's due to global warming too 😆😅🤣🤣🤣😂
Right now the north of Mexico is suffering from a massive drought that has extended for far too long. We had songs about the rains of May, the massive migrations of butterflies in spring, and the cool nights of June. Now it all has changed, insects are almost non-existent, it only rained in may for four days instead of heavy rainfall for at least a week. The nights since April are at least 28°C and May started with 45° days. We haven't even reached the peak of Summer.
The climate is changing, those who ignore it literally never go out of their house and pay attention to the bigger picture. My city is experiencing a changing climate like no other, and we are not prepared for the drought to last more than a month.
Yes and in a couple years we will be having floods! The sun runs our climate so it depends on what it's doing!
@@kirkkirkland7244 Axial Precession has a bigger effect than the sun or man.
The American dust bowl of the Southwest was not due to CO-2 forcing. Climate changes do occur naturally as well as extreme weather events. It is normal to experience extreme weather and more than normal record setting cold or heat events within one to several years or decades. The record shows this.. ie: the east coast USA mini "ice age" of the mid 1800's... the European millennial warming period, etc.
@@TheFRiNgEguitars It was due to shitty farming techniques....not climate change...
@@mrrooster4876 It was the perfect storm, severe drought, and poor soil management, the great depression and the need to plow more land to break even. Take away any of these factors, no dust bowl... severe drought is significant, if not the primary cause.
About 30 years ago our local weather guy used to tell us that as new developments (housing,apartments,industry..etc) was being build out from the cities on wetlands,farmland and grassland..that eventually it would create a heat island affect…either causing droughts or really bad weather…I do notice now that our region has expanded 20 to 30 miles out from our large city..that storms coming our way either disappears or intensifies..no longer do we have the all day rains of the past…just a observation.
Heat islands are real but insufficient to cause this global warming. 39 billion metric tons of CO2-every year-is.
We won't be satisfied until the entire planet is paved in concrete or black asphalt.......
I was just thinking the same thing. It used to rain all day but now it only rains for a few hours
On SW Long Island, downwind of NYC and NJ, I routinely track rainstorms which have big impact upstream of the city,
and then often rain on the city, but generally now we just watch dessicated mammatus clouds glide overhead ... the trend is not novel, but has become exaggerated in past 30 years.
This is one of the best and most simplest explanation that I’ve seen on the changes in the jet stream. My husband and I have actually been watching Al Roker on the Today Show for the last 20 years, and I have noticed a change in the Jet Stream because again I’m a faithful Weather Watcher. And so I was not surprised to see you say these changes of the last 20 years because I have to. Thanks so much.
YES, I ALWAYS WATCH HIM, AND NOTICED THE SAME THING
Here in New Zealand's North Island's Waikato region, my personal experience over the last 54 years, is that our average climate has warmed. Our cold months in 1965 were from May to August, when we had frequent, frosty mornings. Now we don't really experience frosts that much and our Winter has shrunk to half of June and the month of July and what rare frosts we have, are almost a non event. Our Summer's are becoming extended and hotter. We are having more days up in the high 20's, low 30's now, than we did 50 years ago and rainfall seems to be more spasmodic and less. In the 60's, I would quite often wear a heavy coat ,scarf and gloves in the Winter. In the last few years I just put on a Jersey and haven't worn my heavy coat once during the very mild Winter's we've had. If this trend continues, I feel we will become frost free like the far North region of the North Island.
Your Aussie cousins here.
Do you find it difficult to find similar information about the Southern Hemisphere?
It's all connected, but they appear to be looking at only half of the information.
Is it just me?
I'm in QLD Australia in now. But growing up in England is was used to seeing hard frost in the winter, cold winds and actually quite dry after the storm season in October and November. But from my teens until I moved to Aus we found that we hard mild winters that brought more rain and warmer weather. That's in my time growing up, only 29 years.
@@yt.personal.identification One aspect probably is that more of Earth's landmass and population both are in the northern hemisphere - but let's not miss that most countries at or south of the equator were colonized by Europe, and still deal with the aftermath. The money and resources for this research is concentrated up north.
That said, the impact of the Antarctic continent and the South Sea on the south jet streams would be very interesting to know about.
@@autochton Sure, but as the data appears to be mostly from satellites, then it suggests the data is available, but just not as 'popular' to analyse.
I imagine someone somewhere is working with the data.
@@yt.personal.identification It's the same with astronomy. They always concentrate on the Northern Hemisphere. We've always been considered to be slightly less important in the scheme of things. We're rarely mentioned on International news channel's
The lake near by parents house doesn't freeze much at all anymore.
During the cold weather during La Nina, we seem to get monsoon like fall- winter near New Years. Floods my parents basement it seems every time. People deny this, but heavens, just pay attention.

It's getting less and less wild where I am. Not only does it not snow anymore, it's not even below 0 overnight.
I just saw the weirdest weather for the time of the year! Today is November 27 and we just had a massive thunderstorm system move through the area. It was moving about 70 mph I estimated. I wish that I could show photos of it from my weather app.
I am in Nebraska. I have been noticing such weird changes in weather. When the Tennessee/Kentucky tornados hit in mid-December we got 80 degree weather and severe thunderstorms. It was so weird considering the fact that we had snow two days earlier. Another thing is we barely get tornados or severe weather in the springtime, now we see the south getting hit much more. Now Nebraska is getting derechos. We had two severe straight line winds go up to Iowa in just two years. Its worrying.
Probably just a liberal propaganda
Chalk it up to high tech, high energy weather machines that can both heat and cool the atmosphere. Nothing new, they've been around for decades it's just that ppl in positions of authority are becoming real control freaks these days.
There are many factors affecting the climate. Every year 14.6 BILLION gallons of fuel are evaporated into the atmosphere just filling our tanks with fuel worldwide. The fluorocarbons released into the atmosphere in the 20th century are finally dissipating, reflecting less light from the sun. The coal and other fossil fuel soot stored in the northern ice pacts over the last 500 years are causing the ice to melt faster than we predicted. Permafrost is releasing billions of metric tons of methane into the atmosphere every month. That is only some of the things we have going on, there are many more. An old proverb says, "The wise one sees the calamity and avoids it." We all should learn to be wise; we will need it in the near future.
@@rnedlo9909
Don't worry Bill Gates has a plan to spray particles into the atmosphere that will block the sun's rays and cool the earth.
Also wonder if the light from sun is getting thru more............Why are there ANY areas of the globe experiencing record cold temperatures, which some are? Seems rational worldwide, that it would only be hotter on a continual basis.
Climate change is a hoax
I remember being a kid in California and we would have rainy days and thunderstorms, now that rarely happens
California is currently in a new megadrought which is why it hasn't been raining there for the past 22 years. The last megadrought in the western US was about 500 years ago and lasted a very very long time. I don't expect it to end for a long time. Of course climate change is playing a role in making these megadroughts worse than their predecessors
Yup, growing up in the SF Bay Area during the 80's and 90's, it used to rain throughout winter and the skies were always grey. Now it looks more like a semi desert in winter with blue skies and hills covered in dried grass and shrubs.
Looking at the latest GFS run, this didn’t age well.
Well there you go then have a bunch of rain
Oh, it’s happening now!! We’re making up for at least the last 3 years I hope.
Gonna be a bit wild if we have a quick melt.
It’s time folks with houses get subsidized water tanks. I have a friend with two. It supports her garden and more 🪴
I live in PNW and I've seen intense changes in weather. We've gone as long as 7 months without any precipitation. I've put a bucket out with a stick to prevent small animals from drowning. Deer have sucked it dry.
I wonder how the 'dust bowl days' of the 1930s compare to the present, and whether there were similar causes.
Farmers have reported they see resemblance.
About 25 years ago I heard a scientist say that we have had about 150 years of unusually good weather and we should prepare for it going back to normal. I've always wondered how bad normal was. Guess I'm getting a good look at that normal lately
My home area in Germany was flooded last summer, and the amounts of rainfall were completely unprecedented. About 100 People lost their lives when their houses were swept away. It was really chilling to watch it unfold from afar (I live in California and saw it happen on youtube), especially because I am so familiar with the region. This was a wake-up moment for me. Making the public aware of this is absolutely important. Keep up the good work!
Unprecedented?

@Sam Bourgeois No, it won't be more interesting to you because you'll stick your fingers in your ears and stomp your feet like a child.
Not true. You had disastrous flooding 100 years ago.
@Paul M Yet the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to an ice-free Earth in 500 years if left unchecked. Not an existential event for humans, but certainly less hospitable. There is no downside to more nuclear power plants, solar and geothermal.
This is such a good program for the average person who doesn’t have the time to study the problems our Earth is experiencing. Plz share 😻
I had a junior high teacher in the early 60s who told us about the global warming theory. He told us that the jet stream and weather would get unstable and the extremes would get more extreme. He was teaching what theories are and said global warming was an example of a very new theory.
Lived in Oregon my entire life. I hate that this hot patch is sitting over the PNW and keeping it dry and hot and not rainy and foggy and diverse climate with temperate rainforest type ecosystem... I hate warm muggy dry weather.. things really have been very different lately. That huge fire evacuated so many towns around where I live and where people I know live. People lost their homes.

Not sure what the point of invading a breadbasket like Ukraine is, if they’re just going to end up growing oranges in Siberia
@@UmmYeahOk think about the power of money! Russia is nothing more than an old gas station, but as has been reported putin is one of, if not the richest men in the world. He did not become that without pilfering the Russian peoples resources along with his oligarch buddies.

Now that many have, and the history of Russian treatment of thieving dictators once out of power putin is naturally worried as he is without a doubt been the biggest thief Russia has ever had! Keep in mind that Ukraine is not just a bread basket, it has become a manufacturer in great demand for their educated skilled work force especially for automotive wiring harnesses. Then there is the topography, as there is nothing but plains between Western Europe and Moscow in fact Ukraine goes even further east than Moscow. Just seeing how putin meets with his closest people, generals and political underlings, at those insanely long tables, the man is obviously becoming more and more unstable in his fear of being assassinated.

Thank you so much. I loved the presentation is was simple and easy to understand how the jet stream is effecting our planet’s weather. I have been living in San Francisco for 45 years and have noticed less fog as I live by the ocean , alot less rain, and HUMIDITY which is highly unusual for this mediterranean climate. It has been a Mediterranean climate unlike that of for ex. Roma, Italy, which has hot humid summers and sometimes snow in the winter. Unfortunately it has not rained substantially here for years. Very informative thanks PBS!
As a guy living in southern California, I can safely say that clouds are the stuff of legend
In New England winter is coming later over the last five years and it's staying longer with snow (sometimes) as late as May.
I noticed that here in AZ that 2021 and 2022 were the coolest and wettest summers we had. I’m used to 115 to 125 degree summers but this summer and last summer we were usually around 105 to 110 which is waaaay better than 115 to 125. Even with winter, we got a bit of rain too
Thats probably the influence of la niña. It won't last. El niño coming into play this year
Whenever you watch the news and it comes around to the weather report the meteorologist will always mention when a record has been broken. Over the past 25 to 30 years the increase in the number of records broken really scares me. The first day of summer this year was 101 degrees (38 Celsius) where I live and throughout the summer there were several days in the 90s. Last December we had a couple days in the 60s and 70s and even had a few tornadoes. Where do I live...Minnesota. Yeah, tornadoes in Minnesota IN DECEMBER!

Even if you think you don't need air conditioning where you live, you could still get a freak event like in the Pacific northwest in late June 2021. Then being able to cool the air in your house could become a matter of life or death. So get an air conditioning unit and have it ready in case of an emergency.
Also, here in Southern California, this Winter has been the coldest average temperature in my memory, and we hardly got any rain (again). It's still relatively "subtle" but the fires speak for themselves.
Fires are at a multi decade low.
In spite of all the recent focus on the California forest fire tragedies and contrary to most public pronouncement, forest fires in his state are declining with the rest of the northern hemisphere. The United States Geological Survey’s fire scientist Jon Keeley checked the data for California back to 1920 and found that the number of forest fires peaked in the 1970s with a significant decrease since.

@Mark Berryhill Here in Australia we are pretty much aware of the effects of climate change and the causes, although it would be good to include the other half of the world.We suffered what we now call the "Black Summer". We choked on the Eastern Seaboard from Southern Queensland down for months. We have bushfires here, in fact our Forests have evolved to account for it but NOT that extensive and that intense. "The Climate scientists predicated Australia would be the first to feel the effects of climate change and its increasing severity. They were right. However, like every where around the Globe, where ever there is a Conservative government, there is little or no action. At the hight of the conflagration, our Prime Minister snuck out of Australia and went to Hawaii.He was pilloried for it and our own Shock jocks tried but failed to put a positive spin on it. Our PM and his government is STILL in denial , taken kicking and grumbling to the Paris agreements. Here we are talking about science and then politics sneaks in, so desperate are they to prop up the existing order and ideology. Houses on the east coast are being washed into the rising seas with every severe storm. Mild dry winters and either intense dry heat or tropical humidity summers, where it shouldn't be. That is our reality now and this in only 20 years. I think the scientists projected time for change is overly optimistic. They should shave 20 to 30 years off their future projections on the ill effect of severe climate change.
No. The fires are poor forest management. We suppress fires in every case, leaving more and more downed trees to add to the fuel load.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 California doesn't even do forest management to prevent fires anymore. It's not really that it's poor, it no longer exists.
Fires have happened all the time; the only difference is the amount of people now living in fire-prone areas. Same with the water supply in the Colorado River basin; the water supply hasn't changed over centuries, only the demand.
August 12, 1936 and June 28, 1994 - 120 degrees
As crazy as it sounds, there are two dates that tie for the hottest day in Texas history. The heatwave of 1994 earned the most spots on this list, but the summer of 1936 is the earliest super-hot day in history. On August 12, 1936, Fort Worth and Seymour clocked in intimidating temperatures reaching 120 degrees.
I survived the Texas heatwave of 1980. Havn't experienced anything like it since.
Why is it years ago all weather broadcasts included a jet stream map ? It is hard to even find one anymore and why is this information not being shared anymore ?
Because anyone who's observant enough to notice the usual weather patterns deviating drastically out of nowhere would be able to tell immediately that someone's been tampering with it and they REALLY don't want the lil kiddies catching on to their tricks. You can't sell climate change to the masses if the weather always behaves for you, so they gotta spice it up a bit. When nature disappoints, man intervenes. And climate change seems to be real profitable right now. Go green! 🙃
Back in the 1970's when picking plants for the yard I was told that temperature range was moving to the north. No one was in tuned to climate change. This was simply observations that were made at green houses. We now have a reason for these observations.
Great presentation
When I was 3 years old , the snow was knee deep . 60 years later just above the ankle only !
When i was a kid the clouds were always very high in the sky.. now there are days that the clouds seem barely above the trees..i noticed this a few years ago and all jetss that flew over head had two contrails that dissipated.. more they get long and wide enough to cover the sky.. are all these things connected?
G V W W umm maybe the snow is at your ankle and not your knee is because you’re taller than you were when you were 3?
Hahahahaha
When the glacier visited Wisconsin, it sure sucked…sure glad things warmed up. Even a few degrees more wouldn’t hurt!
It would have been interesting to add the correlation between the jet streams and the earth’s magnetic field which is also going through changes. Maybe also to overlay graphs of the evolution of jet streams and magnetic field strength’s over time
When I was young (1950) weather was just something that happened. Now it is a major aspect in the lives of people everywhere. One Observation of local weather in northern Thailand (my home for 20 years) has been the flower season has moved from April to March.
I’ve only been on the planet for 70 years, but my recollections back to my youth are that, although we certainly had extreme weather-3 feet of snow, powerful thunderstorms, hot and dry summers, etc.-one, the frequency has increased, and two, anomalous weather patterns like superstorms, the polar vortex, etc. have also increased. Something as simple as the jetstream moving northward could explain a lot. I guess the million-dollar question is whether we can reverse that or if it’s too late.
We were talking about the coming ice age back when you and I were kids in the 1970's. Earth has been in an ice age cycle for the last 2.5 million years (100,000 of ice, 10,000 years or so of interglacial warming period). I comment " Who ever told you that climate stability is for this planet, do you see any other planet with climate stability anywhere?" on all the climate topics.
It's never too late, the longer we put off ending emissions the more changes will happen but it's a sliding scale, we can avoid worse outcomes by starting now.
Some times it is too late and you can never have what you want ever again.
These comments are a kaleidoscope of emotions.
@@fudgedogbannana A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You have some understanding of facts, but miss the actual picture. Please keep reading and learning.
Where im from S.E.A, during the drought monsoon, tempurature is higher by 2-4cc. Then rain unexpectedly, flash flood and storms. It is very drastic change.
I agree. We need to pay attention to history to better understand our future. I believe that previously, when every home and business used coal/wood for heat, etc that we produced at least this amount of pollution. As an example from recent history, we just have to look at coastal LA in the mid '60s where you could see a purple band of pollution on the horizon. Much has improved since then.
The eastern and southern shift of weather patterns is interesting. Especially the late fall tornados that keep recurring out in the Tennessee region.

In the midwest we have a very obvious difference in the weather. Winters are virtually non-existant and summers are more oppressive. 30 years ago we would get good sized snow storms now we get an inch here and there. The summers used to get really hot in August but now it happens in June sometimes may. Spring and autumn is non existent.
This has caused the annual amount of tornados in my region of Ontario Canada from 2 to ~40. One nearly leveled my house in Barrie this summer, it came within 150m of it!
150m is far where I'm from 🤣 but I'm glad to hear you made it out alright and hate to hear that.
Bohoo try waking up in a Sandstorm! But really glad you ok mate! The weather on drugs whatcha think?
@@tristancordero3157 cut through a town, so for someone who isn't used to tornados, 150meters is pretty close
i live in texas and luckily have never seen a tornado, but have definitely been close to a few. nothing is worse than huddling in a closet, hearing the sirens going off. all you can do is hope you dont get hit, it is a hopeless feeling.
@@tristancordero3157 thats pretty close
I was in Lytton BC (near Vancouver) when it caught on fire and burned to the ground. The whole town. Gone. The previous two days it got up to 49.6C. This is no joke and I don't think it is even a matter of being optimistic or pessimistic anymore. Too little too late.
I lived in (sorta nearby) Pemberton BC for a few years and all the horrible things that have happened to BC this past year just breaks my heart for everyone. It hit 40C a couple times in Pemberton when I was there, but I can't imagine it getting any hotter. I'd much rather experience those hot temperatures in Arizona, where I currently live.
You have a pole flip and ice age to look forward to. Not to late to adapt there.
The north American drought is moving N at the same rate as the poles are moving.
Approx 50 miles a year
I study weather as a hobby and have hundreds of pages of weather notes. The poles are warming faster than the tropics and it makes sense to me that if you decrease the temperature difference between the poles and the tropics the jet stream will get weaker and a weaker jet stream is wavier/more likely to get stuck in place. I'm amazed that this issue hasn't been studied more, some meteorologists suspect this but that hasn't been a formal study to confirm it. A few meteorologists say the jet stream has not been getting wavier/more stuck in place but I question this because we have had alot of extreme weather lately and if you pull up a upper level wind chart you will see that there is a big ridge or trough in the jet stream where the extreme weather is occurring.
In so many of these documentary's, sadly nearly nothing is mentioned about the magnetic field weakening by 10% now, and magnetic north having drifted 24 degrees, at increasing spead.
Logically this is the main factor.
This hits home for me because I'm from Atlanta and moved to Seattle last year. The heat wave over the summer here was horrendous and with no AC I had to jump in my cold shower to keep from going into to shock. In Atlanta my parents said the summer temp stayed in the 80s. Rain is normal in summer in the southeast but it was everyday.
Having a misting spray bottle (even the cheap ones that have at least a relatively fine mist) that you can spray your face, neck, arms, legs while walking (creating a breeze if the air is still), or while at home spraying toward a fan blowing the mist back on you, will help. I've had situations where doing this a few times per minute kept me relatively cool.
Come soon Lord Jesus, Come soon!!!
@@theodoreottey9784 Amen!
ATL is chilly in the summer. Down here in the MOB we get heat indexes well above the Seattle heat wave. They aren't used to that, so ya, that was bad.
Once the entire planet was frozen if not a few times. Once the entire planet was warmer and no polar ice caps. There's even times where the magnetic North and South shifted. The sun is sometimes generating more or less energy. Climate changes have happened for 4.5 billion plus years...
History is fascinating and tends to repeat.

@@hardrockminer-50 good luck adapting to a dead lifeless planet

The temperature differences guide the Jetstream. Just as the fresh and salt water, heat and cold differences guide the ocean's conveyer belt.
Girl, you are proving that your people CAN be productive and CAN do good. This is amazing.
Increasing global temperature of course influences the wind and rainfall. Increasing average temperature means more evaporation, which means more water in the atmosphere. So heavier rainfall is to be expected. If a place is heated up more, the temperature the density of the air changes, differences in air density in different places leads to pressure, which is what causes wind.
This is exactly what I was suspecting all last year, it was the only way I could explain the Texas deep freeze and the BC heat dome. Where I am in Alberta also felt the heat and choked on the forest fire smoke for two months. We need to adapt better now, because it’s happening now.
So glad I don’t live inland. All the pollution from the wildfire smoke went to NY, Midwest, & Europe. Funny cause they’re the ones saying it was a Cal/WestCoast problem when the skies are relatively clean by the coastline where majority of the population lives.
@@ricecakeboii94 because the wind took the smoke east.
Adapt? Why not just stop using fossil fuels and actually tackle the gases driving climate change?
@@NanNaN-jw6hl that would be great, actually. Even if it started to reverse, it could take years. I was thinking in terms of a city being able to handle a snowstorm, or housing being able to handle heat.
The waves are deep, and possibly deeper, but I want to see the data or a timelapse of decades.
Statistical aberrations occur, so intense methods need to be used to determine if these events (jet stream waves) are outside of the statistical norm or not.
The turbulent nature of the atmosphere makes it a bit difficult to actually assess.
I wonder if there is any correlation between jet stream movement and the heat island effect of sprawling cities. I remember riding my motorcycle out of city limits at night in the summer and the temp dropping significantly
Yes you may well be right. Heat added is heat added. Concrete heats up where forests don't. It's not the co2. It's the heat added through human activities and infrastructure not the air. We can't stop that unless we kill off billions of people. This I would not recomend.
@@lawneymalbrough4309 well crap. so its wild weather until the end of humanity :/
@@lawneymalbrough4309 I wonder if putting roof top green spaces, and painting roofs of homes and minor buildings white would help alleviate heat soak and reflect solar radiation/absorb it in plant life, would help anything. Like minor changes might have drastic long term benefits, like asphalt roads being painted or having dyes in them to make them light gray instead of black, as black soaks up heat and radiates it for hours and hours. Light gray will still heat soak, but nowhere near as bad or for as long.
I would agree that there is a correlation to these massive concrete structures in which they cause more heat in the cities due to the lack of green spaces. When you have cities that have these huge warehouses sprawling all over the place it causes major environmental problems. One has to wonder how much junk do we need to keep flowing into these countries? Maybe if we go back to the basic necessities of life we may help change the course of all this.

This is educating me so much, thank you 🙏🏾
I remember several years ago an attempt was made to curb the winds of a hurricane. It did work to a certain extent. The contentious among the scientist was they were afraid that what they do would make the Hurricane worse. I really doubt that the Arctic is warming because every time a submarine surfaces in the Arctic there is always plenty of ice. Have you seen the Russian side of the Arctic, also plenty of ice and bitter COLD temp. Have you ever considered that the scientist who say it is melting are staying in DC offices because it is nice and warm and can easily go to Post Office to collect their Grant Checks.
LOL BINGO
I live between Ottawa and Montreal in Canada and we have started to get more and more tornadoes. It's also hard to think that while we in eastern Canada got heavy rain, the west coast was burning :(
I live in Ottawa and for years I've had recurring dreams about living in communities where the buildings are domes to be tornado resistant. They are a concern to me as well.
In the west we have always a loads of rain but last year we had more rain than ever before, so much so that the Fraser valley completely flooded. Summers have been hotter an hotter to the point that we got halfway to boiling. Autumn winds have been getting stronger and stronger and so have spring winds to the point that we have had extreme weather warnings that include tornado warnings
If we hold up the Texas freeze wave of February 2021 as an example of jet stream change due to anthropomorphic climate change, how do we explain that it has happened before, previous to the industrial revolution? How do we explain the Western fires of 1910, when TEN million acres of forest land burned in THREE DAYS? How do we explain the single biggest human loss of life due to a hurricane in Galveston in 1905, long before we began emitting CO2 into the atmosphere at industrial revolution levels?
Is there a chance this is all cyclical, and we as humans have nothing to do with it? Is that possibility getting millions in grant money for studies? If not, why not?
I do believe humans have a lot to do with climate change but it is worth investigating other factors. Anyone who goes on about "scientific consensus" is not really talking scientifically, consensus means nothing when it comes to science because truth is not a democracy. Science is always supposed to be questioned, it is never "settled". In fact there have been loads of times where the consensus among the educated was completely incorrect, going all the way back to antiquity. In fact pretty much everything we believe today was once a theory that was ridiculed by the educated at the time of discovery. Heliocentrism, evolution, germ theory, plate tectonics, I could go on.
Western forest fires - maybe the incredible extent of logging which used steam powered equipment and fire shutdowns weren’t a thing? I lived in the Pacific Northwest in logging country and safety wasn’t a concern until the 60’s. As for the Galveston hurricane, large weather events and poor weather forecasting are a deadly mix.
As far as I’ve seen, the people working on climate issues are NOT getting rich. I can’t say that about the owners of coal companies and oil corporations.
@@briangarrow448 There was steam and hydro at saw mills, but in the woods it was all done by hand. The 1910 fire (AKA The Big Burn) was a part of a regular cycle of fire in the West that was interrupted by human interaction, and the policy of dousing every single fire for decades. We are now reaping the benefits of overgrown forests.
The Galveston storm was forecast, but ignored by officials and civilians. But the storm was absolutely massive, before we gave them names and tags of fear. And before Industrial revolution pollution.
People directly working on studying anthropomorphic climate change are not getting rich, but the amount of money spent is ever-expanding. The paper pushers and non-profit CEO's getting the grants are doing just fine. How many gov't studies are looking into my original question, or have results that might lean that way? If they exist, why does PBS not present that info?
@@corey6393 Trees we’re cut by hand. They were moved by steam donkeys and then rail or log rafts or splash dams. The Big Burn was started by lightning if I remember correctly.
Do you have any supporting data that backs up your claims about paper pushers and environmental CEO’s blossoming across the country? I’m curious because I have volunteered in employment support programs and frankly, that’s not a massively growing field for potential jobs. Maybe the job market has changed since I retired.
@@briangarrow448 Yes, the Big Burn was started by lightning, but what environmental impacts created the situation? Were they human caused? It was a single largest acreage burned on record in this country, and it happened before the current climate change freakout. But it was over 100 years ago, and it didn't happen in California, so it has been forgotten.
I don't have a pile of papers sitting around to prove claims, I just watch, read, and listen. On a small scale, I have an example of local watchdog groups getting grants and funding to pass laws, and require training and fees for stormwater runoff protection. I have been through the training and paid the fees. I have performed the mitigation processes on jobsites. And not once was any of this site work actually inspected by those in the group. They take the money up front, and never follow up.
I know that is not specifically about climate change, but it is about ecological protection. The leaders of that particular group live better lifestyles than those they train, and never get their hands dirty.
Many places are experiencing drought and more extreme weather, and our cities, and homes are not set up to cope. We need to adapt which will be difficult when many are in denial or are not open to learning about the situation. DW Documentary has various videos that explain things.
Iam an hour south of Nashville Tn.... and its perpetual rain ...rain and more rain.. it doesn't even snow anymore. It's like there's an invisible shield around our area when you watch local radar.....
Paul Beckwith has been breaking down the science of the Jet Stream and Rossby Waves on his UA-cam channel for years. He did a video explaining why the cold weather in Texas coincided with abnormally warm temperatures over Greenland during February 2021.
The truck crash at 3:37 in this video is a perfect metaphor for those who ignore the signs.
Yes, it was very informative. I wish most of the people in the U.S. could watch this and understand the reasons for it, instead of insulting the way Texas had to respond to something that hasn't happened there in over 135 years with it's sub zero arctic ice storms for 4 days and shutting down everything all the way to Mexico and killing all the subtropical crops and shutting down energy to the rest of the country. Texas infrstructure is designed for extreme heat up to 115 degrees F, not negative 21 degrees F. Utilities here have to be cooled, not heated. Can't have both.

The cow print ball cap was probably not the best choice for a serious presentation. Why not just wear the full chick-fil-a uniform?
@@austinp.5024 mmm idk though. I thought she was low key trolling the corporate farming industry as cows are a HUGE source of greenhouse gases but they are nearly impossible to get in check because we all love our burgers and steaks and there’s really no such thing as successful small family farms anymore. It’s all corporate now. Lobbyists see to it that they are untouchable in every way. No one wants to give up meat even for a single day per week.
I’m guilty of it too so don’t @ me. I love beef. I love bacon. I’m just sayin why I think she’s wearing that cow print.
I think it's inevitable for the global temperature to increase in the next 20yrs. We need to be moving faster with changing yet it's easier to adapt with the coming realities. I don't expect an impactful turn around until it's too late.
Fascinating.
Would be cool to also get a video on the south pole and why it can grow amidst the global warming event.
I would like to hear him talk about how the dilution of the salinity in our oceans has a lot to do with our weather patterns also.
YES, THE ARTIC MELT IS ALLOWING FRESH WATER TO GO INTO THE OCEAN, AND SLOW DOWN THE GULF STREAM, IF A LOT OF FRESH WATER GOES IN FROM MELTING, AND THE GULF STREAM STOPPES, THEN EUROPE WILL GET SEVERE FREEZES IN THE WINTER , THERE ARE UA-cam VIDEOS ON THE SUBJECT YOU CAN FIND
The increased north/south amplitude of the jet stream means more dramatic shifts in weather. I tell people that when the jet stream dips over the east then we have "snowmageddon" in Washington DC while Denver has a thaw. After two to 6 weeks these arctic dips move eastward and then Denver is in deep winter and DC is in a thaw.
Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University hypothesized over ten years ago that the loss of perennial arctic sea ice created these dramatically greater "meanders" in the jet stream north and south. I have been watching it happen from NE Utah for ten years.
These are dramatic shifts from cold to heat and wet to dry. Over a greater period of time (decades) this will "average out" and yes southerly areas will on average will be dryer - but the effect on the ground will be very erratic from wet to dry and hot to cold for decades to come. Weather shifting from hot to cold/wet to dry on this 2 to 6 week timescale will become more extreme until there is more mixing of the arctic cold air masses and the tropical warm air masses. Once this mixing is complete and somewhat stabilized (decades ? centuries ?). we will once again have tropical vegetation in Greenland and hopefully more stable and consistent tropical/sub-tropical global climate. If we stop producing greenhouse gases. We could even return to normal after 35,000 to 45,000 years. (see research of James Zachos of University of California.)
If we keep forcing the heating of the atmosphere and the globe - we will begin to face increased heating and drying of the planet turning large portions of the planet into inhospitable desert. The most severe period like this occurred 250 million years ago during Permian-Triassic extinction event. Known to scientists as "The Great Dying". 80% of marine species died. 70% of terrestrial vertebrates, and it was the largest extinction of insects. Contemporary human civilization as we know it would not survive these conditions.
The fear is that with the rapid rate of warming we will unlock problems like thawing the vast amounts of frozen methane in the arctic seafloor and releasing gaseous methane into the atmosphere which will accelerate warming. Causing a cascading series of failures that we cannot manage. Even while there are natural processes that are buffering some of these effects, the planet clearly has enough history of dramatic degradations of the habitable environment that we need to be very careful. Already, IPCC is saying we need to stop producing greenhouse gases in 3 years to avoid very grave risks.
So we really need to pull together and realize that we are all in this together - there is no viable escape (despite what a half-dozen billionaires might believe and are willing to accept - as they try to jump,ship.)
The hubris of those billionaires will come crashing down once they realize you can't ultimately fight mother nature and natural law.....no matter how rich you are.
In the past 11 years my town has had 3 of the 5 wettest years ever recorded. 2011, 2018 and 2019. It's a huge change and it's honestly tough to know if we're just in a rainier pattern or not. And since 2010 my area in PA gets more massive snowstorms than I ever remember seeing. For example the Western US has been in a megadrought for 22 years now. The last megadrought that happened was back in the 1500s, before we populated the area. Climate change has played a role in making these megadroughts worse than they already were though
Climate change symptoms vary greatly from region to region. Northern Minnesota where I live has been having increasingly colder record temps in winter every year, which is a known symptom of climate change.
SO FORTUNATE TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY , SO FORTUNATE. THANKS MOM AND DAD
Back in the late 1980s I was shovelling a foot or more of snow off my grandparent's driveway, several times a week. It was considered normal (as was our nose hairs freezing together) and there was no question of shutting down in those conditions.
Just last week my Ontario Canada city pretty much shut down because we got 5cm/2" of snow. We've become so used to warmer winters, here, that we no longer have the infrastructure to cope with a light dusting of the white stuff.
That's nuts, I figured all of Canada would have all city's covered with plows, we don't get what we normally get her either and that's in western Michigan. 10 years ago we had so much snow my cows could have walked right over the fence if they wanted. But that's with lake effect snow. We got dumped on that year.
You’re not the only ones. It seems the whole of the NYC metro has forgotten how to deal with winter weather. I swear it’s almost as if the majority of people are actively wishing for climate change to bring an end to all forms of solid perspiration in the area.
I can’t stand it!
Technically Seattles’ landscape was formed by glaciers & we too can’t deal with 2” of snow. However, this doesn’t support human caused climate change so we dismiss this as climate change

I was thinking this exact same thing the other day when we got just a couple inches of snow in Chicago.
As as amateur weather watcher living on the south west coast of U.K. I have noticed the bigger waves of the jet stream. This winter we have been held in large areas of high pressure with lack of rain. While Scotland has had more rain and winds with low pressure.
Thanks Maiya. Very informative.
The jet stream characteristics is most of our weather, but does it also change in layers from altitude perspective?
Excellent explanation of the drivers affecting the jet stream. As an old school Air Force navigator the jet stream was highly important to my job, and understanding it's ebb and flow were a primary focus of my preparations and in-flight calculations. Weather has therefore always interested me. That said, I would like to see if there is research going back further than 1,000 years. We are, after all, still living in a period of geologic glaciation (over the last 2 million years) and we are used to the climate conditions endemic in this period. It defines "normal" to us, but our short life spans have necessarily driven the focus to short-term conditions within 1 or 2 generations of our life. We need to understand the larger scale impacts of natural changes throughout geologic history as a precursor to understanding the impacts we humans have been having on the planet.
There's tons of research into climate behavior and global temperature using ice-core samples, going back millions of years. With that in mind, I wonder if it's harder and more time-consuming to specifically study the jet stream.
Perhaps they can go further back in time now that they've trekked all over Greenland to get the ice-core samples. But the jet stream seems like a very fiddly, highly specific thing to try to nail down, especially when you _have_ to map out every year to see how it's behaving.
That's an excellent point, about how we need to focus on the long-term too. We've had several greenhouse periods in the past. Maybe we'll end up like the last time it happened, 55 million years ago, when the global temp was 5-8C higher than now. The arctic will turn into a rain forest again, and crocodiles and palm trees will live up there again. I mean, that's gonna take a few thousand years for species to move/adapt. But maybe that's where it'll all end up.
In the meantime, if that's the road we go down, we're gonna have massive climate migration since the equator's gonna be uninhabitable. Lots of relocating of food production too. I guess the good news is that since the permafrost is melting (which is driving the greenhouse cycle), there will be plenty of rich soil to grow things in.

Interesting thought. Careful how far back we go though. The north pole didn't have much ice between 5.33 and 2.56 million years ago. Jet stream likely much weaker or non-existant.

This makes a tremendous amount of sense. IE if it does move north, the northeast will be hit with a lot more hurricanes. Due to them not being able to be pushed east via the jet stream.
Not necessary "more" hurricanes.
But stronger and longer lasting storms and a longer hurricane season.
Remember the movement of weather systems will slow down with the Jetstream.
While ocean and air temperature increases and winters get milder.

The Northeast has actually gone through one of the longest periods on record with barely any hurricanes. Back in the 1950's 1960's they got struck constantly. The last Northeast hurricane landfall was Bob in 1991 31 years ago which is a huge amount of time considering there's some years where they got hit by 2 powerful hurricanes in one season like 1954
In Oklahoma, we had a heat wave for about 3 weeks now, and where I live, we had no rain. A cold front hit yesterday night, and that dropped the 100+ temperatures to 80+. Yesterday was terrible too. We reached 100+, and the humidity seemed high too. It was dangerously hot. Now we are going to be in the 80s for 3 days, then back to the heat, with no rain; unless we get lucky.
Me and my parents went fishing and the fish that we caught died, we think because of the heat. They were in the water too. The threat as of right now is the heat. And that could cause wild fires and other problems.
Hot water holds less oxygen than cold water. Maybe they suffocated?

At 4:11 you show a jet stream over BC Canada. I live in the area that was affected in Kamloops and we hit 47C or 117F during this time. It set a record of 10F higher than any other recorded temperature here ever with the old record being 107F is about 42C. There were 5 consecutive days we were over the old record high. A neighboring town registered 49.8C or 121 F becoming the first temperature recorded in Canada ever of over 120F.
Then in November in a time when we are supposed to be freezing we had road washouts and flooding in the mountains. 2021was an incredible year for the south of BC.

Last frost day where I live is may 5. Two days ago,may 22 , we had overnight temps that killed my garden and many of the flowers I had put out. Global warming? Save it for someone else.
I live in central California and our new issue is relentless high winds, mostly from N-NW. The new pattern over the past few years has been moderate winter rainfall, followed by weeks and sometimes months of constant drying winds that precede the late spring/ summer heat. Our vegetation is already bone dry by mid- May, making us vulnerable to the dry, summer heat. We are a tinder box from mid-May through November.
The cities in california create a heat plume in the atmosphere and this combined with the mountains changes the ocean winds and weather patterns. THAt is the biggest effect humans have in USA on weather. When californi failed forest mgmt causes fires, that too changes the weather for thre rest of the country and potentially world. "Global warming" is simply Liberalism run AMOK!
EXCELENT PRESENTATION, I KNEW THE JET STREAM WAS WANDERING MORE THEN IT SHOULD WHEN TEXAS HAD THAT COLD SNAP, AND NOW THE SOUTHWEST IS IN DROUGHT, AND TODAY, WASHINGTON STATE HAS RAIN AND FLOODS,
Once, the seasons in Chicago were pretty clear cut and stable. Now, anything goes.
There is a noticeable humidity in the upper atmosphere, which manifests as this very thin haze. It is enough to interfere with stargazing. Looking at satellite weather maps, it looks like it's being generated from evaporation in the Arctic.
The once-regular seasons seem to be about six weeks or so off, being either early or late. Throughout last year, we got to see that ridiculous "inversion" of the Jet Stream, where it was noticeably vertical (north and south) instead of horizontal. We are seeing cooler summers and warmer drier winters, with both having less precipitation than usual.
However, we are still getting our "normal" extreme punches of severe highs and lows.
How about from nuclear power plants in Russia? Isn't that where your jetstream comes from?
@@nancyfahey7518 seriously? jesus
That's NOT humidity causing haze, it's dispersed aerosols & yes, that's what's causing the extreme weather. Things have been done without knowing what the long term effects would be. It's a man made disaster.
@@katiekane5247 so what is happening in Chicago is affecting the global weather? seriously? jesus
@@XD-te6vj reading and comprehension. They’re clearly stating that they’ve notice irregular weather patterns in Chicago. They didn’t say it affects global weather. I’ve noticed changes in Chicago too, we don’t have cold Decembers anymore, we had a couple of 60° days in December for a while now … not normal
Lifelong resident of metro Atlanta, I can say that 2021 was the most mild summer I can remember. Matter of fact, the weather thought the summer to the end of December was fairly uniform. The summer was cool (for us) but the winter was hot (for us). A Strangely uniform pattern weather pattern for Georgia. Would be interesting to see this research unfold as I did find out a month ago that the jet stream was to blame for the abnormally mild summer
The research is already there that pins polar warming on the magnetic induction from the polar coupling with the suns.
The temp has been rising for 300 plus years. And at the same rate.. thank you. We’re still in an ice age did you ever think the snow has been receding for tens of thousands of years. Yes of course
Magnectic field holds the jet stream in place. Its down 25% over the last 50 years.
Toronto here. For years now I have noticed that the temperature at night does not drop nearly as much as it used to. This is manageable so far, but summer nights may become increasingly hot.
Spring 2022 in Canada has been weird. The whole west of the country has been abnormally warm and dry, whereas here in the east the cold is just dragging on and on right into early May. Not that much rain here north of the Great Lakes either.
You're not wrong. Night time temperatures are what has increased the most and where the bulk of the warming has come from. The low temps in my town are nowhere near where they used to be anywhere by a huge margin. High daytime temps aren't as extreme as the lows are though
I talked to a friend of ours last year, who turned 99, if she notices the weather being different now than when she was little, in the 1920's. She said, "absolutely, there's no question the weather is different, we used to get much more snow in the winter and much more rain, in the summer monsoon season, here in Flagstaff, AZ." It's great to listen to scientists but listening to someone who's 100 years old, is pretty enlightening. We're planning to move away from the southwest U.S., it's too dry and getting hotter, every year.
Hell, you don't even need to be that old. I'm in Canada and during the period of 2010 - 2020, six out out of those ten Christmases have been green or with barely a light dusting of snow.
Back in the 90's, the first snowfall being in October was common enough that our Halloween costumes had to be large enough to fit over our snowsuits.
There is no such thing as stable climate on Earth, century to century the climate is typically different, it was once warm enough to farm in Greenland and grow quality vineyards in England, some ancient coastal cities are over a km away from the coast now, others are completely under water, we've always known the oceans levels change over time. Climate change is a fact, you can't stop the natural progression of the Earth, climate change has wiped out many civilizations throughout history. Still we can't assume human activity and greenhouse gasses won't make climate change worse, cities with only electric cars will have much better air to breath, you shouldn't need to be tricked by climate change rhetoric to do the right thing...

Just clean, factual and highly informative. Score: 10
Minus 5 for overlooking geo-engineering.
Thanks to Weather Scientist, all about facts, no PR jargon or Marketing gimmics.
Accuracy matters more
Minus 10 for deliberately ignoring obvious science about the magnetic coupling of the earths poles to the sun which is the reason for polar warming in the first place.
@@trevorh6438 Really? Where did you get that tidbit of information? What does magnetism have to do with airmass movement? So you are pushing your political dogma into science now? Not going to work.

Drop a small rock in a pond, and your waves are small. Drop a large boulder in the pond, and highs are higher and the lows are lower. More energy everywhere.
This study leaves out the implications of Krakatoa in 536AD.
This event was responsible for incredible droughts and wild weather patterns around the world.
I've lived in North Central/Central Iowa for all my life and I can tell you in my experiance the seasons have changed. 52 years ago it was common to have snow on the ground at Thanksgiving and there it was pretty common to have snow cover on the ground north of the I-80 corridor pretty much Nov.-early March. Winters were pretty cold with ice covered lakes and rivers that people ice fished on and snowmobiling was a popular past time. Since the 1980's winters have become warmer and the seasons seem off, as in fall lasts later into winter and winter into spring.
Also springs have been wetter and cooler and July and August are not as hot and dry as they traditionally were.
WATCH THE TRUTH

I agree, I live up near Mason City and over the past 15-20 years the winters are not only warmer, but offset. Over the past 10 years, I've noticed the winters start out warmer (Nov-Dec) but the cold is hanging around longer into the spring. Plus the lack of actual snowfall. Most snowmobilers now must head farther north into Minnesota and Wisconsin to see some actually good snow. Just this last couple weeks, we have seen some incredible temperature differences, starting out with an overnight low of -21f to a high of 32f and then dropping back down that night to a low of -10f. We are definitely seeing more and more greater extremes. During the summer months growing up in the 70's and 80's, the summers were hot and dry with plenty of clear skies. Now the temps are somewhat lower due to months of smoky skies from the forest fires out west. Even though our day to day weather may not have changed much, I can definitely tell what our new climate normal is looking like.
@@IowaStrmChsr Yep. I grew up in the Ackley area so I know what you mean. Remember how late Feb-March used to be foggy, damp cloudy days as all the snow pack melted, we hardly have any of those days anymore. Then April and May would be on avarage a little dryer and everyone could get crops in. Now springs are usually pretty wet. And May and June used to be tornado time in Iowa, with hot humid days that would erupt in afternoon storms. The tornado counts in Iowa are WAY down. Then July and August would dry out and it would just be hot. Now we get more rain and the daytime highs have moderated somewhat.
..it's just flat out absolutely warmer across the board..your comments are describing somewhat micro climates..which don't exist..
..long ago are the days where the nightine temps of Jan and Feb reach -20 to -30° below zero..maybe a few days here in there if even that...then long hotter summers of 80° to 100° for months into October ..the land is drying up and we can no longer be the world's breadbasket unless they want to pay exorbitant prices..like we do ..one thing we can say if our food is clean and not contaminated no we ith these endocrine disruptors..auto immune contagions..just stuff like lead cadmium chromium arsenic ..on n on..that other countries are infested with ..I would not eat as anything that's not grown in this country or Canada or even Australia..definitely not India china Indonesia Mexico...no de cc eloping nations ..DO NOT E AT FOOD NOT GROWM HERE..
GeoEngineering is causing this craziness in our weather, weather warfare

@@jessmore9870 there’s patents on the technology and it was publicly talked about in the 50’s & 60’s if you do any amount of research you’ll see exactly what’s being done and why the chemtrails are being sprayed in our sky’s
@@BaconJD420 Patents on what? Geoenginnering? Chemtrails? Cite one piece of "research." Conspiracy theorists always say "do the research" because they don't know what they're talking about.
@@jessmore9870 and lazy dimwits Believe what they’re told not even with their own eyes see like a beautiful blue sky that turns to a dull grey mess in a matter of a hour or two by planes “exhaust” but not every plane, just some, and apparently they can turn the “exhaust” off and on in mid flight, you must be a complete fool, stop looking at instagram and twitter for a few and view your surroundings for once you might just learn sumpin dipshit, why have the levels of aluminum and barium exploded in our water and soil samples in the past 20 years? Your probably not even old enough to have witnessed the change’s that have occurred
Who says the weather is getting wilder? It's not as bad as it was when I was a kid 55 years ago.
Increases since WHEN?
The record firestorm in Australia occurred in the 1930s when 1/3rd of Victoria was ablaze.
Has anyone figured in the tilt of the change in the Earth's axis? Goes back & forth from around 24.2 - 23.8°. Has massive impact on glacial formation, moisture content of the Sahara (GreenSahara) etc.
Not one person has ever done this.
No sphere, no tilt.
Does Cycles happen over tens of thousands of years and it's currently going in a direction that would predict cooler weather in few tens of thousands of years so it's directionally wrong to predict as the cause of global warming
I would be interested in how the earth's pole shift has on the weather effects as well. Since the earth is well overdue for the next polar shift, it would seem to me that such a process would totally redefine the earths weather patterns. Would you consider a video addressing this process and its anticipated weather effects?
M Douglas, It seems like they are not interested in your topic because it doesn't go with the narrative they have been diffusing all these years. I would love to see more about the earth's pole shift too but very few people are speaking about it. It's all about the elimination of fossil fuels. It's not even about science.
You have to read between the lines with these propaganda pieces. They are admitting the pole shift and it's effects but they HAVE TO blame "man" for the taxes.
Thank you. I say that because, in fact, we did have a pole shift 2 years ago. I watched my compass, one not connected to the net, dance east to west for several years. Then 2 years ago instead of pointing north, it pointed exactly in the opposite direction. Something in my 64 years I have never seen it do. It's funny you should mention the weather. In 1988, where I live, we experienced over 60 days of 90-degree heat. We normally only get 6 and it was also the driest summer I ever remember. The weather changed every ten years since then. This year, starting last fall, the weather pattern seems to have returned back to what it was before 1988.
@@jefferyneider863 This is very interesting. Have you recorded your data somehow? Is there a way one could do a research based on your findings?
Yes and the pole shift is already occurring. And yes we have a depleted jet stream
