Wind

Here on the Northern California Coast it has been very windy throughout last night and this morning as a storm passed through here heading likely to the east. I was thinking about the increasing winds of all kinds around the earth that we have seen since the 1990s and 2000s. Likely it has something to do with all the heat being stored in the oceans. As that heat is released in various ways out of the ocean into the atmosphere it causes storms and wind spikes through those storms. Heat and the movement of the planet earth causes storms in the end. So, when heat goes up it creates a vaccuum in the air so when the air fills that vaccuum it creates wind here on earth. So, the more heat going up at one time into the atmosphere, the more wind that will be created by the vaccuum being filled by air all over the earth. As more heat gets trapped in the oceans and on the landed areas of earth, eventually that heat will want to travel upwards too and when it does more storms and winds of all kinds will be created as a direct result.

Another factor is the ice melting worldwide. There is an example that is simple to understand regarding this. Imagine a fountain drink with Ice in it on a hot day outside. As long as you have some ice in your drink it stays fairly cool and nice. But, as soon as the last bit of ice melts the fountain drink gets warm really really fast. Earth is like this fountain drink so whenever all the ice in one hemisphere melts out in one year the dynamics will change fairly remarkably at that point in that hemisphere. In another article I mentioned that it might be useful for some people to change hemispheres when that happened periodically because it could get really nasty in whatever hemisphere one was in during the time when the ice was completely melted out in the north polar or south polar regions. When the ice is gone in any year I expect over 100 mil per hour winds to be perfectly normal during these times which in the northern Hemisphere could be between about August and October. So, this might be the most dangerous time to be outside during those times of the year when the ice completely melts out in the north. I'm not sure when it would be like that in the south but most likely it would be six months after August. Also, these effects of high winds might trail into December or January as well in the north because we don't have present models to be fully sure what might happen. I suppose computer models can and will be built with software to make us more fully aware of the consequences.

I was thinking about how people might travel from Canada and the U.S. traveling south into South America during these times and how people might travel from South America north into the U.S. and Canada six months later.

One of my ideas would be an underground mag-lev high speed train. You would need something like this to be underground during these high winds so they wouldn't be blown off the tracks by winds. So, at least from Canada down as far as Mexico or Central America it would need to be underground to protect from being blown off the tracks by winds from 100 to 200 or more miles per hour.

However, I don't expect constant winds above 100 mph until 2050 or after and I don't expect 200 mph winds during these times until maybe 2100. This is just what I'm getting now as an intuitive. However, one of the reasons I write about this stuff is so you and I can maybe do things to change this outcome to something better.


Another thing worth thinking about is that this likely will begin to cause quite a die off of life in the far northern and far southern hemisphere as well. I expect (if nothing is done) a 50% die off (in the actual amount of people now on the planet) between 2050 and 2100. Because you just can't stand up in over 100 mile per hour winds. Try it sometime. Unless you are holding onto a telephone pole or tied your car or home on a leash you will just blow away never to be heard from again.

I have climbed mountains where on top it was 100 mph gusts. What happens is you just keep being blown  down and hopefully aren't injured too much or blown away.
