18. Stop ignoring my engineer/pilot father's expertise
Wed May 27, 2026, 01:16 PM
Wednesday

It was my engineer/'pilot father who taught me about the weather and the threat of human caused climate change. You once again ignore my engineer/pilot father's engineering and aviation expertise. All you're doing is reading off of a website or a book. You have no personal flying or engineering experience and it shows with your posts. You don't seem to understand the basic fact that our warming planet is disrupting the jet stream causing it to behave in very different ways. You don't understand another basic fact that the warming of our planet is causing the oceans to warm which is supercharging hurricanes and causing them to behave in much more catastrophic and deadly ways. I'm really tired of your disrespect for my father's engineering and aviation expertise that you'll never have. Your behavior is disrespectful and offensive and it needs to stop.
