As most people know (other than this idiot), this has been happening for millions of years.
My last flight to CA took 4hrs and return took 3hrs.
Average flight time...3.5hrs.
It all balances in the end.
That’s a good explanation for walking, and may be this guy’s basis for his premise.
But aircraft don’t get tired from flying into a headwind. It’s the same thrust requirement as flying with a tailwind, because the airspeed is the same.
The only difference is how long you have to fly in either direction.
I notice it doesn’t state WHEN. Convenient eh? ...so it’s just another guess that will be forgotten when it doesn’t happen.
All predictions should have a WHEN. Otherwise it’s as scientific as voodoo.
Or, as other people have suggested you fly at the altitude with the most favorable winds.
It used to be that scientists weren’t compromised idiots.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

BTW, is it just me, or is this guy's unspoken assumption that westbound pilots routinely fly into the jet stream?
