The jet stream is the controlling influence over the world's weather systems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
Young people, those who think they're experts in science, there's no doubt. They just believe it, and so there has to be an explanation - and whatever man is doing has caused the jet stream to slow down, and that is permitting the polar vortex.
People are seeing the impact of climate change around them in extraordinary patterns of floods and droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and powerful storms.
We can see cities during the day and at night, and we can watch rivers dump sediment into the ocean, and see hurricanes form.
Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.
The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
I think a major element of jetlag is psychological. Nobody ever tells me what time it is at home.
America needs to get over it. We can't control everything. We can't control the storms.
My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it's first-world problems. It's a wonderful problem, 'Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.'
