The Fighting-Like-Rats-in-a-Sack Theory of the Weather BY JAMES LEARY

...try to imagine one half of a zoo full of starved animals chasing around trying to eat the other half, all encased in a big elastic balloon. That’s how the Earth’s climate works. 

"The expression ‘fighting like rats in a sack’ barely covers how weather actually WORKS. 

Expand that thought for a minute, and try to imagine one half of a zoo full of starved animals chasing around trying to eat the other half, all encased in a big elastic balloon. 

• That’s how the Earth’s climate works. 
• A chaos theory....

But back in the REAL world, if this currently insane one can be described as real, how does the above scenario translate to what we see around us and what we are threatened with?
First we must lay to rest the difference between ’weather’ and ‘climate’.

• Weather is what we see and feel every day...
• Climate is weather in a particular area of the globe averaged out over a long period of time. I’m talking hundreds or thousands of years. Currently we have vaguely reliable figures for under 200 years but historical and anecdotal evidence for millennia...

Weather is the animals above fighting in the sack...
