Buttigieg blames climate change for increase in deadly severe flight turbulence
NY Post ^ | May 26, 2024 | By Ryan King

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg faulted climate change for the increase in severe turbulence on commercial airline flights while citing estimates that it has shot up by double digits over recent decades.

“The reality is, the effects of climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation,” Buttigieg told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

“We’ve seen that in the form of everything from heat waves that shouldn’t statistically even be possible threatening to melt the cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest,” he went on before citing “indications that turbulence is up by about 15%.”

Since taking the reins at the Department of Transportation, Buttigieg has placed a strong emphasis on his desire to help combat climate change.

While the “B” person has absolutely no talent in anything related to government or leadership, he has orders of magnitude less talent with regard to actual science. Of course, we’ll not talk about the research clowns making weekly predictions - none of which have proved accurate.

By golly, is there any problem not caused by Climate Change?

And on a related note, I can’t find my reading glasses. I’m sure that’s due to Climate Change. But I can’t figure out exactly how. I’m going to apply for a federal grant to study the problem in detail.

I just hope the words on the application paper aren’t too small. Because as I mentioned earlier, I can’t find my reading glasses.

Is Carl Rove still operating the Climate Machine as many claimed he did in Bush’s WH?

I am to the point I hate this world with all of its lies and deception.

Humans are the second most deadly things on earth, mosquitoes are #1.

My dogs and cats keep me in check.

Has anyone done a study about the solar panel fields heating up the atmosphere? (Do they?)
Flying over a solar field while inspecting crops, there was a distinct temperature increase over them.
(Note: Logan County,Ohio proposes 4,000 to 6,000 acres of cropland to be converted into solar fields. SMDH)

The worst part about the Climate Change lie is that it will eventually divert trillions of dollars away from worthwhile projects.

Money that should be going to medical research, bridge repair, etc. will instead be spent on nonsensical (and unneeded things) like carbon-capture devices.

Sigh. If Trump cannot prevail this November, right off the cliff we will go.

Hasn’t the “Sell By” date on this endless Krappe expired?

It’s SO over-worked, it makes ZERO common sense — even if it ever did make any

Tiresome to the maxx.

Everyone knows turbulence is caused when contrails react with airborne cow fart gas.
