“Climate System Scientist” Claims Jet Stream Crossing the Equator is Unprecedented
June 29th, 2016 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
Paul Beckwith has a masters degree in laser optics, which he has somehow parlayed into being a “Climate System Scientist” to spread alarmism about the climate system. But his post “Unprecedented, Jet Stream Crosses Equator” suggests he knows little of meteorology, let alone climate.
A “jet stream” in the usual sense of the word is caused by the thermal wind, which cannot exist at the equator because there is no Coriolis force. To the extent that there is cross-equator flow at jet stream levels, it is usually from air flowing out of deep convective rain systems. That outflow often enters the subtropical jet stream, which is part of the average Hadley Cell circulation.
There is frequently cross-equatorial flow at jet stream altitudes, and that flow can connect up with a subtropical jet stream. But it has always happened, and always will happen, with or without the help of humans. Sometimes the flows connect up with each other and make it look like a larger flow structure is causing the jet stream to flow from one hemisphere to the other, but it’s in no way unprecedented.
We’ve really only known about jet streams since around WWII…one of my professors, Reid Bryson, was one of the first to advise the U.S. military that bombers flying to Japan might encounter strong head winds. The idea that something we have been observing for only several decades on a routine basis (upper tropospheric winds in the tropics) would exhibit “unprecedented” behavior is rather silly. I especially like this portion of Paul’s post:

Nice touch, Mr. Beckwith..

Are these jet streams on a jihad?

It's interesting how these terms meet with a flurry of hysterical resistance when first used- and then become established political language.
No, Canute, nothing to do with neozionism- and it's extremely silly for you to suggest otherwise. But then- you are an established twat.

Well, if someone's going to call someone else's findings into question, then perhaps we should call them into question as well.
Roy W. Spencer signed "An Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming", which includes the statement, "We believe Earth and its ecosystems - created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence - are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory." By the way, "Evangelical Declaration" came from the "Cornwall Alliance," an organization that acts as a front group for the "Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow," which gets its funding from oil companies like Chevron and Exxon/Mobil. (Nice touch, Mr. Spencer.)
He also wrote, "Twenty years ago, as a PhD scientist, I intensely studied the evolution versus intelligent design controversy for about two years. And finally, despite my previous acceptance of evolutionary theory as 'fact,' I came to the realization that intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and no less scientific, than evolutionism."
So he believes a magical being used magic to create the world just for us.
By my estimation that means he's lost all credibility as a scientist and as such is the last person who should be commenting on someone else's scientific findings.
Someone should tell him that "I Dream of Jeannie" was only partly based in fact.

Yep, far easier to come out with a load of erroneous and irrelevant bullshit rather than actually address the science. That is usually Desh's job but she's been banned, have you stepped into the breach? Roy Spencer is a first rate scientist by anybody's account, what are your credentials?
