Blow Back?

Yet more extreme weather! The colder conditions of winter in the US, normally reduce the probabilities and intensities of tornadoes. Not so, this year (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/12/kentucky-tornadoes-up-to-100-feared-dead-in-historic-us-storms). Kentucky has seen a vast storm front. Its tornadoes have left a path of devastation, about 227 miles long. This would make it bigger than the record 'Tristate' (Missouri, Illinois, Indiana) event of 1925. Up to 100 people, have been killed in this latest extreme weather event. This included folk at an Amazon depot, demolished by winds in Edwardsville, Illinois. Amazon owner, Jeff Bezos, has claimed to be 'heartbroken' by the news. It is difficult to link any one extreme weather event to global warming and consequent climate change. Having said that, it is clear that extreme weather events are becoming much more frequent, as the planet heats up. The heating is a consequence of the record release of 'greenhouse gases'. Jeff's other enthusiasm, is 'space tourism'. This is an opportunity for rich folk to pay for a few minutes of weightlessness and some nice views. The rockets used, release masses of carbon dioxide, high into the Earth's atmosphere. This helps to drive climate change. Perhaps you need a change of heart, Jeff? QED
