I'm not saying anything is proven, but it would be also be untrue to say that we can rule out climate change affecting the waviness of the jet stream. Here is a Guardian summary of peer-reviewed science in Climate Change Nature on this matter: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2014/jul/17/global-warming-causing-extreme-weather-jet-stream-wavesBill Reiswighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750634817564055072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-81721275787640365172014-11-04T14:02:29.049-08:002014-11-04T14:02:29.049-08:00Cliff, is Typhoon Nuri on your metaphorical radar?...Cliff, is Typhoon Nuri on your metaphorical radar?
