Suggest? We've all known since grade school that warm air rises, and cold air sinks. Warm air at the equator rises, and cold air at the poles sinks. It ain't rocket science. However, the equator is moving at roughly 1000 miles per hour. It's dragging the air along with it. (It's a bit more than 24,000 miles in circumference, and rotates once per day. 24,000 miles divided by 24 hours equals about 1,000 miles per hour. If the air weren't moving with it, there would be 1,000 mph winds at the equator.) The poles hardly move at all. If you stood at one of the poles, you would simply rotate around once per day.
So what happens to this 1,000 mph air as it moves to the nearly stationary Poles? It creates high altitude west to east winds. (The earth's surface below is moving east to west.) They're called the Jet Streams. Unless Global Warming is slowing the earth's rotation, it's not going to slow the jet streams.
I appreciate that the air motion is not quite as simple as this. Nevertheless, the major driving force for the jet streams is the difference between the rotational speed of the equator contrasted with the nearly stationary poles.
Great Post! Never thought of it that way! I’m not a climatologist but know a bit about planetary science and atmospheric modelling. I would like one of the global warming whackos to prove to me that a gas...any gas, can be an insulator (greenhouse gas). Then I would ask them to prove how other planets in our solar SYSTEM, yes it is a system (I’m sure they’re confused by that), effected our climate in the time periods they compare as proof of global warming, and then compare that effect to the present gravitation effects!
This is actually interesting but how is the wind going the opposite direction of the ground if the movement drags the air with it?
“I appreciate that the air motion is not quite as simple as this.”
No it isn’t thats why you have to master ohysics and advaced math for a degree in meteorolgy something that the global warming whores have noy an iota of a clue.
