Record heat has been felt across the the Pacific Northwest this week, which has led the MSM and their placard-brandishing, sandal wearing EOTW groupies to draw the connection to 'global warming' aka 'the climate crisis' aka 'terrifying terra firma broiling'.
However, AccuWeather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg is on the record as saying that AGW isn't to blame here.
Risking a backlash from his bosses, and from those faceless elites on high, Lundberg very reasonably states: "I just think that right now we're seeing a very unusual pattern across most of the northern hemisphere where there's a lot of extremes."
Lunberg sees erratic jet streams as the main culprit here, which, as Electroverse has been saying for years, are weakening due to historically low solar activity — and while Lunberg doesn't touch on solar output, he does reference a "big upper level trough that's in the Aleutians".
Right now, weather patterns across the country are very unusual, explains Lundberg: "Downstream, there's a massive upper level ridge that's in the Northwest, that's why they're seeing the record heat there.
