Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents. The main jet streams flow west to east around the globe.

Because of #climate collapse, the northern polar jet stream becomes more variable. A stratospheric polar vortex disruption is linked with extreme cold winter weather across parts of Asia and North America, including the Feb. 2021 North American cold wave.

Anyway, #AMOC (the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean) currently offers 12°C to Ireland:

In tropical forests, the most vital function of protected areas is limiting roads and road-related environmental disruption.

@Fanua@mas.to Thank you for trying! I had hesitated on the order of:

• tropical
• south of tropics Would you suggest that next time i invert them? That is: list options from South to North (and so from least to most numerous)?

Would you mention the poll to friends that live "between the Tropics"?
