    From that picture it looks like the weak jet stream is the problem. We just need to build a ton of wind farms across Canada to blow it harder so that it becomes more powerful. Easy.

    Honestly we are way past the point of any scientific reasoning. The public has voted that they are uninterested, and the US government and large corporations are about to be uninterested too.

    To be blunt… No one ever really cared, but the world kinda squeaked by putting scientists in front of statesmen and public broadcasts. Everyone kinda nodded along, and not just for global warming.

    That period is over.

        They cannot survive without buyers. People as a statistical whole do not care when we’re talking about entire populations

          Do you know? I don’t understand why I should know? I think many people are also so I don’t get the premise

              I have never doubted that almost everyone is interested in continuing the human race longer than 2 more generations, so I have not looked at the science. Everyone I talk to is interested at least so I don’t get it

                People say they’re moving to avoid climate change and them move to where climate change is going to hit the hardest. What people say and what people do are often very different.

                  Did you change your premise from not many are interested, to not many are activists?

    Good luck convincing the rubes that. Literally heard jokes about “global warming” today in the office. Had to say, well its climate change actually and wild shit means its not doing good.

        It shouldn’t have been “save the planet”, it should have been “save the humans” because the planet will be here long after we’re gone

    The graphic isn’t all that accurate. The text says a colder period is because of a warmer planet but then the cold area from a meandering jet stream looks larger. The missing part is the warmer air that leaks into the polar areas, causing a feedback loop by further deteriorating the balance of cold and warm that drives the jet stream.

        It’s a bit prettier. What’s missing (and I know this is meme territory so it’s not a big deal) is how the jet stream is not just weak and wandering, but literally breaking in places and that’s where warm air into the poles happens. And it’s not hard to understand warmer where there’s normally ice means less ice.
