What is the mechanics that is keeping the high pressure area over the Pacific northwest?
Even the weather person mentioned its the same kinda high pressure area that happens in the summer.
This pressure area is what is keeping all the rain away from the PNW, please explain how Co2 is causing this?
Is this caused by the exhaust from all the jet airliners? I heard a flight every 3 minutes or so from just one airline.

I don't know, but likely the increase in CO2 is heating the landmass and oceans. It is this that is likely causing the high pressure area in some manner. I don't know if the high pressure area is normal, or an anomaly.

"please explain how Co2 is causing this?" ... it isn't, at least not directly. Some believe increased CO2 is affecting climate patterns, but a stalled HP probably isn't one.

"Is this caused by the exhaust from all the jet airliners?" ... no, emphatically, no. This is just nonsense.

Tug and RB... the difference in heating surfaces, causes different pressures... some higher and some lower than those adjacent. [pipe]

This is just nonsense... I concur. [pipe]

Molecular activity likely keeps it well mixed...
