Dag 1268: Global Swarming

It is indeed ironic that the recent high levels of rainfall experience across the UK are being caused, not by global warming, but by the very people who believe it is caused by global warming.

Now this is a bit complicated so you might need to read it more than once.

The low pressure that is producing the current rainfall has a system of high pressure to the south of it producing some very nice warm weather. This weather system isnít new, it is always around at this time of year and it always has a high pressure system to the south of it. The difference is that this low pressure system is normally located to the north of the UK so the rain misses us and the high pressure weather system to the south of it will be right over the top of us giving us our usually nice warm(ish) summer. The thing that causes this low pressure system is something known to scientists and other intellectuals as the Jet Stream.

In the jungle where the foliage is very dense animals tend to use the same routes between places and this creates a path through the foliage.
Exactly the same thing happens in the sky when jet planes use the same route to fly between Europe and America and this path in the sky is called the jet stream.

An Aeroplane

Before global warming became the watchword on every bodies lips, the jet stream used to be created to the North of the UK and all was well with the UK weather. Now that pressure is being put on everybody to try and produce less CO2 the airlines have been changing the routes between Europe and America so that the planes fly further south, thus emitting less CO2, and cause the jet stream to go straight across the UK. So now we have low pressure causing us to get all this rain and to the south of the UK is all the good weather that we should be getting.

So I say "Lets get the airlines to stop all these namby pamby CO2 reducing initiatives and move the jet stream back to where it should be so we can get some nice warm summer weather again."
