How weather on earth basically works: This is a very simple idea of how weather works in an environment where earth is heating up like now

There was one way weather basically worked up until maybe the 1970s but that has all changed now to something else. I don't remember polar vortexes for example, dropping down from the North Pole so frequently, especially on the East coast of the United States before around 2000 AD. This was something that basically didn't happen before this regularly like it does now. Other strange things are going on with the weather worldwide like Glaciers melting all over the world too and the North pole Melting completely out at times during the year as well. Then in Antarctica you have things like the Doomsday Glacier melting and potentially inundating all coastal cities on the planet especially lower island places in the Pacific Ocean and places like Bangladesh, Miami, Venice Italy. Hawaiian Islands etc. However, the Hawaiian islands go up to 14,000 plus feet on the big island of Hawaii and over 10,000 feet in altitude on Maui at the Haleakala Crater. So, the Hawaiian Islands at least are not going under the sea but just some of the coastal areas like between Kihei and Lahaina on Maui and other places where I have had waves splash over my rental car from the ocean as high tides and storms bring the ocean higher and higher onto the shore. but, they had put in another road from almost Kihei to Lahaina area now too up higher so this isn't a full problem anymore in trying to get to the Lahaina and Kaanapali area or further north of that side of Maui.

So, some of the factors of the weather are the planet spinning which causes prevailing winds like in the U.S. the prevailing winds are from West to East and this seems to continue all the way to Europe from the East Coast as well and most of these storms move on the winds because of the planet spinning the way it does.

Then you have CO2 and Methane trapping warming gases that allow more heat from the sun onto the earth than before and this then causes glaciers and snow to melt more than before.

Then you have sun because of the CO2 and Methane in the air making oceans warmer. Now on the lands of the earth this is less of a factor because of heat dissipation on a yearly basis.

However, when the snow melts away as ice from the oceans it leaves the ocean blue or green around there and this absorbs more heat from the sun. So, the oceans become like Batteries for the sunlight and hold the heat year around and create things like Hurricanes and Tornadoes with this heat gathered down to around 50 feet deep in the oceans of the world.

So, some of the newer changes have to do with melting Glaciers (including Antarctica) as well as the north pole replacing white (ice) with Blue or Green water when then absorbs more heat than white ice which tends to reflect heat back up into the sky away from earth.

So, as the ice melts it becomes like a Pop or soda glass at a state Fair in the U.S. and if you ever had ice in your pop or soda you notice as soon as the last ice cube melts the whole cup or paper or plastic cup gets warm or hot fairly fast in the summer sun.

Well. The same thing will happen to Earth when all the Snow and ice melt one day where the whole earth gets hotter really fast at that point.

At that point living underground might be the only way to stay cool enough (or conversely warm enough worldwide depending upon the weather where you live year around.

So, as we understand all these variables better we can adapt to surviving better whatever the weather might become during the next 3 centuries or so here on earth.

The heating and cooling gets more haphazard as these factors increase over time as well to where you might have snow more in one place in the summer as never before or have a warm winter as never before.

We just went through for example, a weather heat breaking record for both March and April from California at least as far as Arizona, Nevada and likely New Mexico and Texas as well where the highest temperature hit 110 degrees in Arizona which is a record for both March or April of any for any where in the U.S.

So, getting ready for all the changes might be a matter of life and death for some people in watching weather reports more so you can stay alive better through all of these changes which are like a weather roller coaster of effects around the world.

So, good luck adapting and staying alive through all the many changes to come all over earth.
