Polar vortex over New Jersey right now


Recommended Posts

Don't you fucking pay for premium?

 

O Wise Chat, were polar vortexes called cold snaps back in the 60s and 70s?

 

Not exactly. The term "polar vortex" refers to a specific meteorological phenomenon involving a large area of low pressure and cold air that typically resides over the Arctic, and it has been known to meteorologists for decades (dating back to the mid-20th century). However, it wasn't widely used in popular media until the 2010s, particularly after the extreme cold weather events of 2014.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people commonly referred to periods of intense cold weather as "cold snaps," "cold waves," or "Arctic blasts." These terms were more colloquial and less scientifically precise than "polar vortex." While the underlying phenomenon causing the cold weather may have been the same (a disruption or southward shift of the polar vortex), the technical term wasn't part of everyday vocabulary at the time.

So, while polar vortex-related cold events certainly occurred back then, they were more likely described using simpler, less technical terms like "cold snap."

So now that "polar vortex" has been put into mainstream vocabulary to boost media ratings and add a false perception of novelty to weather events that have already been taking place for thousands of years, we now have more people getting duped by this "climate change" scat.

Or, hear me out, maybe our understanding of meteorology has improved and there now exists terminology with nuanced description to explain what's going on. Science builds upon itself and gets better, unlike anecdotes that greatly vary from person to person.

He wrote one about man made climate change.  It's practically his Bible.

Okay?

He also hasn't been politically relevant for 2 decades. What's your point?

Who do you think is helping to drive all this "green new deal" shit with EV mandates and stuff like that?  Just because he's not currently holding a public office doesn't mean he's politically dead.

Why do you care about EVs? You don't drive.

So you're saying we should scrap Tesla...got it. 

Tha Cyber truck you were so proud of for not destroying the Trump property is part of your ire, right? Liberal bullshit built to push the climate change narrative...correct?

Tf are you mumbling about?

He’s pointing out you would gleefully take Elon Musk’s pasty white penis into your jerky dried rectum not because you’re “actually gay” but because you proudly bouncing on Elon Musk marshmallow gut proves the folly of the liberal scum.

Not very cryptic.  If you pay enough attention to news and commentary, you'll know who the two sides are.  The kleptocrats are all about how much power and control they could gain, right down to the individual level while the plutocrats don't care what anybody does, as long as it doesn't affect profits.

So is Elon a plutocrat or a kleptocrat? You presented us this false dichotomy, so both is not an answer.
