While 10 different aircraft plus ships search the area near western Australia where debris was spotted by satellite, Mother Jone Magazine takes a stupid pill and puts this crazy theory on display.
‘One Reason It May Be Harder to Find Flight 370: We Messed Up the Currents
How climate change factors into the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight
While longer-term climate shifts are unlikely to play into day-to-day search and rescue efforts, these large climate-affected currents—among them the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the world’s most powerful ocean system—are an essential factor in oceanographers’ understanding of the literal undercurrents of search operations.
According to interviews with three climate scientists who specialize in the region of the world where investigators are focusing their search, the winds of the Southern Indian Ocean bordering the Southern Ocean have been shifting southwards and intensifying over the last 20 to 30 years, in part due to a warming atmosphere and the hole in the ozone layer. Ocean currents are also tightening around Antarctica, shifting whole climate systems towards the South Pole.
To borrow from Anthony, “Ooh, the stupid, it burns!”
Ouch. I mean, OUCH.
Maybe the maniac who flew the aircraft to about the most remote region it could reach made it harder to find MH370? No, that’s preposterous, it must me global warming. Sigh.
Un-named “scientists”…because even the loopy folks that are out there would DISOWN THEM!
But “Mother Jones” qualifies as “Left of the LEFT!”, and thus paying attention to them is not warrented.
Idiots (unless they are being facetious, in which case it is very funny).
The Mother_F2#$%%%s at ‘Mother’ Jones cannot be mocked relentlessly enough! Nor can their readers.
Next on the A-Hole Hit Parade: Wash. State mudslide caused by… (wait for it) … . GlowBull Klimat Changey
After the black boxes are recovered and the analysis is complete, all the loons of the past couple weeks will be foaming at something else … they always find something to foam at.
Bet you anything the “debris” they’re seeing are just chunks of ice broken away from icebergs.
LOL…..now that’s really funny
The problem with stupid people…is they have nothing to compare it to
I can’t help but think the planes computers were hacked from the ground..
Before this, there were complaints about this birds computer systems not being protected enough
Everything that they know happened…happened exactly like it would happen if they were hacked.
Pilots didn’t know tracking was turned off when they made their last verbal contact, oxygen masks were reconfigured to read 5000 ft at 50,000 feet so they didn’t deploy (not turned off, reconfigured which you can do with a hack), plane navigates to known waypoints (exactly what you would have to do from the ground), and then set it to fly flat until it runs out of gas, etc
If this was a hack…it was a dry run
Mother-in-law Jones.
While the internet is filled with crank conspiracies, it is telling that even liberals tend to shy away from MJ as a source for any reliable arguments. This story is a prime example of why.
Typo – Mother Jone.
It’s probably inappropriate tto introduce logic into this, but if you don’t know where the airliner
went into the ocean, how does knowledge of the currents do you any good? And if you know how the currents have changed (which you claim) then why can’t you use this knowledge to know where to look, should you happen to know where to start? And why would anyone think it of significance that once every 50 years, when a plane goes down in this area of the world, we could locate the wreckage a few days sooner? Mother Jones is one stupid mother.
The left is insanely desperate. They throw everything against a wall and hope something sticks for a day or two.
There probably isn’t a more difficult area on the planet to search for a plane crash than this most inaccessible part of the roaring 40s. To make it worse, it has the highest average wave height in the world. Mother Jones shouldn’t need any stupid climate speculation to explain why it is a difficult place to search.
As the airliner is now designated officially ‘lost’, one can only feel for the poor souls aboard and (assuming it was downed soon after contact lost) all the relatives subsequently living in hope.
I have to presume there will be some ongoing official search attempt, simply because the airline industry (and governments) can ill-afford mystery losses.
However, the daily ‘spotted… being chased… oh, it’s nothing’ hunt for ‘Where’s Flotsam?’ was getting downright silly, if keeping the world’s media in ‘nothing to report’ headlines daily. With luck this will now cease or at least ease.
However, this was one bandwagon really not worth jumping upon, especially in the way MJ opted to try.
The alien abduccion theory sounds more realistic.
Never let a good tragedy go to waste … Mother Jone
iI told you in the comments on the CNN Blackhole-Malaysia Airline story.
The AGW propaganda with somehow claim any and all bad things are somehow caused by global warming.
This question may be sligthly off topic, but I hope you can allow it: Latitude, you wrote that oxygen masks of the Malaysian plane were reconfigured. What is the source/ link for this piece of information?
One word for the people that peddle this rubbish – BONEHEADS. That’s not the worst of it though, they are DANGEROUS VIRAL Boneheads – gradually infecting they less boneheaded people and consequently fuse their boneheads closer to their own. I guess it could be a bit like the Borg – a collective of sheer boneheads gradually amassing together……….scary!
I love this, “Ocean currents are also tightening around Antarctica, shifting whole climate systems towards the South Pole.”
Well, if “whole climate systems” are being shifted to the South Pole, and if the sea ice extent around the south pole is now at an “unprecented” large extent, what does this say about the “whole climate systems?”
I think climate change is making warmist alarmists stupid. Perhaps a study can be done on this aspect – as long as CO2 is mentioned in the study, it will get a government grant for sure.
Missing plane and missing heat to be found in the deep ocean.The most inaccessible part on Earth. You wonder why.

twil, I described a scenario if the onboard computers were hacked from the ground…
You can’t turn them off from the ground….but….you can reconfigure them….so they would read the wrong altitude..and not work
