It's getting a bit silly this side of the pond as I have mentioned before the challenge of getting anything past the Guardian Moderators is a new game.
----------------------------------------Trying to publish links to http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/gra...raph_ylybars_uptodate.gif will get you "pre-moderated" on the Guardian The Telegraph is worse, your posts never see the light of day I think reality will prevail but the 1984 mentality is very present He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past. But as we have seen today in my post above the Internet makes it very difficult to police in this way The Daily Mail is wont towards the extreme. It is always first out of the blocks for "Summer Heatwave to hit by" some time in near future or "Siberian Blizzards to arrive by Tuesday" which generally turn out to be slightly warmer or slightly colder than usual if at all. So you have to take it with a huge pinch of salt including the generally rabid comments beneath it's "news". It's a shame there's no sane and pragmatic middle ground on this subject. Never has there been such a polarised politicised science than Climate - driven by the Systems mantra of indulgences through carbon credits How can turning off perfectly viable Coal Power Stations and our inability to extract resources or build new fossil fuelled power stations be viewed in any other way than the modern day equivalent of sackcloth and ashes? UK Pensioners will be wearing their coats indoors and going to bed early this year, like last, as they cannot afford their energy bills to keep warm - all to appease the new god Gaia. It's the 21st Century and yet people are being sacrificed to this new idol. I have a feeling that this winter maybe worse than last. September has rushed in cold after Summer. Last night I saw 3C out and about in the countryside. It might be that I've recently moved 200 miles north but I suspect not, time will tell. We need a renewed sensible debate without zealots and extremists dictating and controlling our futures I await AR5 ![]() ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Sep 15, 2013 9:17:19 PM] |

Speaking about the dark--
----------------------------------------ALL QUIET ALERT: With the Sun's disk almost completely devoid of sunspots, solar flare activity has come to a halt. Measurements by NOAA's GOES 15 satellite show that the sun's global x-ray emission, a key metric of solar activity, has flatlined: The quiet is unlikely to break this weekend. NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 1% chance of M- or X-class solar flares during the next 24-48 hours. The quiet spell is a bit strange because 2013 is supposed to be a year of solar maximum, with lots of flares and sunspots. Supporting this view are data from NASA-supported observatories which show that the sun's magnetic field is poised to flip--a long-held sign that Solar Max has arrived. Nevertheless, solar activity is low. http://spaceweather.com/ ![]() |

Hi Gerald
----------------------------------------![]() Thanks go to the University of Hawaii, DEC, IBM, The American Military, Tim Berners Lee, The Mosaic team, IEEE - in fact everyone involved in telecoms since Samuel Finley Breese Morse Gore had the vision though ![]() But you're right a World without a free Internet would be a far worse place. I like David Roses' latest piece - that's the kind of realism I'm talking about ![]() ![]() |

New paper relates natural 60 year climate cycle to the effects of solar activity and cosmic rays
----------------------------------------A paper published today in Advances in Space Research finds a possible reason why the effects of solar activity and galactic cosmic rays on the lower atmospheric circulation can vary over time, due to a 60-year natural cycle of the stratospheric polar vortex. According to the authors, "∼60-year oscillations of the amplitude and sign of Solar Activity/Galactic Cosmic Ray effects on the troposphere pressure ...are closely related to the state of a cyclonic vortex forming in the polar stratosphere. The intensity of the vortex was found to reveal a roughly 60-year [cycle] affecting the evolution of the large-scale atmospheric circulation and the character of Solar Activity/Galactic Cosmic Ray effects." The paper is one of the first to connect the effects of solar activity and GCRs with the well-known 60-year climate cycle.
