Chaos and order in weather and climate
By Joe Bastardi |December 16th, 2022|Weather|109 Comments
While listening to Jordan Peterson’s “Chaos and Order” Podcast, it hit me that what he was describing is exactly what I witness in the weather. And it backs what I was taught by my dad. He would always say that the weather and climate are nature’s way of trying to correct an imbalance inherent in the system by its very design. Dad also told me that the weather was always asking a question and the forecast was your way to answering that question. The chaos of the unknown in a forecast means one must prepare to answer the question. The desired outcome is not making the weather do what you want, but trying to unravel what is concealed (the future event) and come as close as possible. The result is a better forecaster. Even if it does not work out, you likely will learn enough so the next time you will get stronger. If you listen to the podcast you will see how close the weather is linked to Chaos, then doing what is needed to return to order. AND HOW NECESSARY IT IS for upward mobility.
The real fight is not to tame nature, but to let nature teach you through these chaos and order events how to make the best of nature while getting stronger. Nature is not set up to be tamed by man. The thought that men think they can is arrogant and ignorant. At the base of the climate fight is the aspect of this belief that you can control nature, but you first need to CONTROL all other men. By doing so you then limit their chances to confront chaos and grow stronger by returning to order. But there is the trick. You can not desire to stay in that order, for then you grow weaker through complacency. Man naturally crave a challenge. If you look at it the way I do, trying to answer the question, “What can I give back to God for the blessings he has poured out on me?” the growth from the challenge points toward God, and the fruit of that manifests itself in the way God wants it. I wrestle with this all the time.
