The two bloggers who have perpetuated this misinformation are Robert Scribbler, who describes himself as ” a progressive novelist, non-fiction writer and emerging threats expert,” and Paul Beckwith, who is working on a PhD with “a focus on abrupt climate system change” at the University of Ottawa.
Scribbler says the cross-equator flow is a manifestation of man-made global warming, supported by the hypothesis that disproportionate heating of the Arctic is destabilizing the jet stream. “The Hemispherical Jet Streams have moved out of the Middle Latitudes more and more,” he writes. “More and more it has invaded regions both within the Polar zone and within the Tropics. Now, it appears that the old dividing lines are so weak that flows of upper level air between Hemispheres can be exchanged.”
He concludes that this “violation of dividing lines” is “a kind of weather weirding that we are not at all really prepared to deal with.”
Beckwith writes that the jet stream behavior is “unprecedented” and represents “climate system mayhem”: “Our climate system behavior continues to behave in new and scary ways that we have never anticipated, or seen before. . . . We must declare a global climate emergency.”

“This is total nonsense,” said Cliff Mass, a professor of meteorology at the University of Washington. “Flow often crosses the equator.”
...
Ryan Maue, a senior meteorologist with a doctoral degree who works at WeatherBell Analytics, agreed with Mass that the cross-equator flow is totally normal and not evidence of a joint hemispheric jet stream. “Cross-equatorial flow at both upper and lower levels is part of the seasonal transition of the Western Pacific monsoon through boreal summer,” he said.

” progressive novelist, non-fiction writer and emerging threats expert” = fancy name for BS artist.
Someone is fishing for a grant!
Never, ever trust anyone who is a "progressive" anything!
climate system mayhem
Oh, we have a new one...
Global warming, climate change, carbon pollution, earth gone berserk......Climate System Mayhem
Learn it, live it, love it.
Zap it with HAARP.
One thing I learned at my short stint in political activism is if you can’t generate a sense of crisis or emergency, you can’t get people off their *ss long enough to vote. So, we are now inundated with emergencies, crises and hate crimes. We all have to (fill-in-blank) right now or the CHILDREN will die!!!!!
This is one reason I never watch the news anymore. They want viewership. So, everything is a crisis. I’m just tired of the crisis de jour.
Give these Chicken Little snowflakes a college diploma and the first thing they do is fold it into a dunce cap and put it on. Every little thing is "scary" to them. They need to stay in their safe spaces and stop bothering people. We've got lives to live.
Scribbler?
What anti-science fools. People like this should be quarantined on a remote island and only given medications.
“Claim that jet stream crossing equator is ‘climate emergency’ is utter nonsense”
So is anthropogenic global warming.
Life has become too easy.
What? The jet stream crossed the equator?
We’re all gonna DIE!!
But if the jet stream crosses the equator, it could cause the flat earth to bend into a spherical shape! Gasp!
No no no it is climate chaos.
CERN is at fault. They are attempting to open the Abyss. Hell on earth is coming soon. They said so themselves.
“Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it,” said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week.”
I wish Art Bell wasn’t sick, he’d have a field day with this.
Those "writers" whom the fates would mock, first named them scribbler;
" One who scribbles, especially an author regarded as very minor, untalented, or disreputable: a scribbler of sentimental verse. "
" derogatory or facetious a writer of poetry, novels, journalism, etc "
" 1. a writer whose work is deemed of little or no value.
2. a person who scribbles. "
Neither of these writers has so much as a two-year certificate in weather forecasting, yet they’re arguing with PhDs.
