Horse latitudes
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
The shape of the earth, uneven heating, and rotating earth contribute to global winds.
The Sun
Global winds are directly caused by the combination of the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. The Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, deflects the wind patterns creating the global wind belts. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature differences that drive the movement of air in the atmosphere, resulting in the global wind patterns we observe.
The global wind system is a pattern of prevailing wind movements that circulate around the Earth in response to the differential heating of the atmosphere by the sun. It includes the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies, which help regulate weather patterns and climate on a global scale.
The difference between jet streams and global wind belts is jet streams is winds of high speed generally from the west that move 250 miles per hour. Global wind belts are created when the earth receives an unequal amount of heat from sunlight and the spinning of the earth.
The Coriolis effect, in combination with the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, creates global wind belts. As the Earth rotates, the Coriolis effect deflects wind patterns towards the right in the Northern Hemisphere and towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere, influencing the direction and strength of the global wind belts.
The jet stream is a global wind pattern that wraps around the Earth in the upper troposphere. It is driven by temperature and pressure gradients, and plays a key role in shaping weather patterns.
The Global Wind System is caused by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface.

The primary factor that affects global wind patterns is the uneven heating of the Earth's surface due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This causes temperature differences between the equator and the poles, creating pressure gradients that drive wind movements. Additionally, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) influences wind direction and strength.
