This is a recurring pattern with Mass: passing off a topic on which there is debate in the scientific community, as something that is settled, with his own personal opinion in the debate as the settled truth. Actually, there is<\/em> some evidence of the sort Mass denies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a weather system that can be very persistent, it can last for many days,\u201d said Dim Coumou, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. \u201cIt brings clear skies, very high temperature[s].\u201d<\/p>

While climate change has already warmed the planet about 1.2C since pre-industrial times, scientists such as Coumou believe it has also shifted atmospheric patterns.<\/p>

His research shows that a gradual weakening of the jet stream during summer makes these high-pressure systems more persistent, resulting in longer heatwaves. The jet stream, a band of fast-moving wind high in the atmosphere, greatly influences weather patterns in the northern hemisphere<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
