#physics #weather Fart in the wind The fart does not change the course of the wind. That’s the same with ‘polar vortex’ explanations that are constantly spewing on the media. The true polar vortex is up by the stratosphere, in near-vacuum conditions. It cannot do anything to surface winds. And the jet stream is an effect, like a shadow. However, we all love a good story….
The physics predicted all this, but lets keep putting up windmills to run electric cars…
@hasmis the fart changes the wind a bit. It could eventually cause a butterfly to crash.
@johnefrancis I really blame that darn butterfly for all this ‘social weather talk’. Because of that, everybody goes with infinitely tiny influences dominating the world’s energy systems…. :(
@hasmis fine. We kill the butterflies then.
