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.

Of course turbulence has increased over recent decades.

In the same time period, the number of flights has gone up dramatically.

I blame Buttplugs for an increase in stupidity. He doesn't suck at his job because of climate change. He sucks because he's an idiot who got hired for taking it in his rear end. I always wondered what that makes a person qualified for? I guess I'm old fashioned.

the real blame lies in the hot air that belches from D.C. in climate changing amounts. “the primary cause of global warming originates in Washington dc and the halls of Congress” L.Star

This is an interesting conference from MCC Brussels, on ‘climate change’.

Unlike ‘buttgig’, some of these people actually know what they’re talking about:

What an ass.

Go faux chest feed and cavort with your doofus "husband."

Resign and give the job to someone who knows their ass from left field.

” threatening to melt the cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest”

How can anyone this dumb be in that office?
Oh right, he’s gay, Biden is a pedophile, Harris is a whore, and there are admirals who dress as ugly women.

What a moron. What is changing the climate is the estimated hundred billion tons of ash and vapor the past five volcanic eruptions have pumped into the upper atmosphere over the past few years. Pete needs to find a plug to stop it.

As an Oregon news hound, I've seen nothing about transit cables melting.
