Its just a title it can only contain so much information. Titles often do not begin to touch the complexities of a video. But this title does give a general idea to what the video is about which is that ancient ocean left behind layer of fossilized organisms that influenced the later history.

@vladtepes481 Whether intended or not your comment comes off as an attempt to minimize the threat of heat to our health. As the original commented stated he is concerned about wet bulb temperature because of a near stroke episode which is a scary event. Add to that is the reality that heat waves are becoming more frequent as the climate warms. Just a couple summers ago the northwest had an unprecedented spike in temperature in some areas to 120° F or 49° C.

@vladtepes481 I'm sure they have, but I have no memory of them occuring in the northwest before. And it was also reported as a record high not near the record high.

@catscradle72 That's a good explanation of wet bulb temperature.

I would say this theory about the jet stream acting in more extreme ways is relatively, but I remember hearing about this several years ago. And it makes perfect sense. It explains the sharp cold spike in Texas in Jan 2021, the heat wave in the NW and blocking patterns of high pressure ridges that have affected hurricane movement and much more. I have seen nothing else that can explain this phenomena. And better make more effort to adapt to this potentially very threatening weather pattern because it could intensify and become more frequent.

@intercat4907 Thanks for the positive feedback. Your upbeat response is exactly how we can support and empower each other. Stay well and stay safe.

@dirtfarmer65 You offer a claim of what astrophysicists made years ago which doesn't stand up to this video which provided an explanation as to how the warming Arctic could disrupt the jet stream. Thus what you need here is reason and/or evidence, preferably both, to justify your claim otherwise it lacks credibility.

@okiedokie085 Oh, right do you really think the government had the ability to control the weather 100 years ago? You swallowed the lie hook, line and sinker. If you bothered to learn actual science you would find out how your beliefs about nonsense like this would collapse like a house of cards!!
