No matter what happens, it’s always linked to ‘climate change’
Seriously, that is real
An electrical engineering expert stated that a rare lightning strike on a motorcycle delivery rider on an elevated bridge was not a coincidence but was linked to climate change, while the survivor’s family confirmed he is now safe and recovering. The incident occurred during heavy rainfall on the Ratchavipha elevated bridge, where the rider, was struck directly, causing him to crash and sustain severe injuries before being rushed to a hospital. His wife reported that while he remains in the intensive care unit, he is conscious, able to eat, and can converse. He feels tightness and pain in his face due to being struck on the right side. As for the moment of the strike, he only remembers seeing a flash of lightning before blacking out, with no memory of any other events. Doctors are keeping him under observation for another 48 hours.
Dusit Suksawat, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, said a direct lightning strike on a moving motorcyclist’s helmet on a bridge is unprecedented in Thailand. He explained that elevated structures act like tall buildings, and climate change has increased the frequency of “rain bombs”—intense, localized downpours that significantly raise the accumulated voltage in cloud formations. Dusit noted that lightning victims often survive due to a phenomenon called “flashover,” where extreme heat travels rapidly across the skin’s surface in a fraction of a second, causing superficial burns rather than destroying internal organs.
In USA Fox News reported lightning strikes increasing now at 8 year high.
Lightning is caused primarily from warm moist air riding as one might reasonably expect to happen as global temps increase
Lightning does help to remove greenhouse gases through production of OH radicals
