Not sure about the scientific speculation in this video, but pretty sure something really big is wrong, and it's coming to the west coast of the U.S....Fukushima perhaps?
Coined "the blob,” a massive patch of warm water off the US West Coast
is contributing to warmer-than-average drought conditions in states like
California, in addition to lower temperatures on the US East Coast,
according to two new reports.
The blob -- measuring about 1,000
miles (1,600 kilometers) in diameter and 300 feet (91 meters) deep -- is
currently positioned against the West Coast. It is about 2 to 7 degrees
Fahrenheit (1 to 4 degrees Celsius) above normal average temperature.
Climate scientist Nick Bond was first to call the warm weather anomaly
"the blob" nearly a year ago.
"In the fall of 2013 and early 2014
we started to notice a big, almost circular mass of water that just
didn't cool off as much as it usually did, so by spring of 2014 it was
warmer than we had ever seen it for that time of year," said Nick Bond
of the University of Washington-based Joint Institute for the Study of
the Atmosphere and Ocean, a joint research center of the school and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Bond's
new study, which is set to appear in Geophysical Research Letters, found
that the blob formed due to a lasting high-pressure ridge that
maintained heat levels in the water rather than the usual low-pressure
system that helps cool the ocean. The air continued inland, delivering
high temperatures and contributing to deeper drought conditions in
California, Oregon and Washington.
