We’ve all heard plenty about global warming. But there’s another factor in climate change I’ll bet you haven’t heard about- global slowing… A paper published by researchers from Rutgers says the climate change has slowed down the jet stream. So now when a weather pattern develops, instead of moving, it tends to return to the same spot again and again… “Everything slows and with it weather patterns persist over areas for longer periods of time,” said Climatologist Dave Robinson. “That could make a wet situation dangerously wet; it could make a heat wave dangerously long.”
