    Storm-Steering Jet Stream Could Shift Poleward in 40 Years


    Changes in the position of the fast-moving air current could disrupt weather patterns. The consequences could be dramatic: shifts in rainfall patterns across the midlatitudes and an increase in droughts, heat waves, floods and other extreme weather events in Europe and the eastern U.S.

    • lol come on, that's like a Fox News chart, a 2 degrees swing went from frozen arctic wasteland to the fiery depths of hell_niko
    • yes _niko because 2 degrees is an average, so in some places could go +10 and in other -5 or whatever

      think california having a -5*C winter lol
      ********
    • think NYC having a 45*C summer
      ********
    • < it's right there on this fucking chart, but only a 1 degree of difference is already very bad, so 2 degrees will be catastrophic lol
      ********
    • i suggest both of you read the indicators on that chart, then when you see the word "DIFFERENCE" think about that its a +- deviation from the 30 year average.
      ********
    • so after the next 90 years it will be +6,
      what is a lot. for the dumb:
      -+2 is bad but
      +10 turns things into a desert fast
      -5 same thing just is syberia
      ********
    • there is no +- 2 sted! it's only 2+ or more
      the goals worldwide were to stop at 1.5, but it looks like we'll pass at least 2.5 by 2050 at this rate
      ********
    • and it was all known since the '70s and nobody did nothing, we're just a frog in boiling water now...
      ********
