Cottages turn into Mega-yachts, not very good ones

 Luxury awash!  How horrible!  Perhaps if you put your cottage 60 feet up, and had to lug up every single thing, it would be different.


It's a weird thing when people demand answers to natural cycles.  A lot of people rely on a one-inch control of lake levels.  Was this ever realistic?  

The answer to all this is 'climate change', it is the answer to the meaning of life, like '42', or whatever that was.  The world weather physics that I'm into, can't deal with this detail.  As we have seen, we can have a stationary vortex that just pours down endless snow and rain.  Can we do anything about this?

Don't know and don't care.  I just want the winter to go away.  Not happening soon.

ps I remember the old company, full of tyrants who demanded measures during a really bad ice year.  We put in something to pacify them, and it never happened again, while I was there.  Neat.  This will be the same, people demand 'over steering'.  Lots of money could be spent for a 10% improvement, when you would really need a 10x improvement.



The real physics news society

 


Once in a while, I'll see a 'Science Porn' article that looks real.  That's about 1% of them.  This can scale since just a little piece is a huge scaling.  The only question is the expense.  In the nuclear plant we use huge blocks of lead for shielding, and that makes earthquakes a problem.  It almost seems like fantasy that you could replace that with a thin sheet.

The only other explanation is that this is a total fraud, but we'll find that out soon.  The essence of the Scientific Method is to reproduce it.

ps now that I've chewed on it, this defies basic physics, like 'perpetual motion machines' and 'greenhouse gases'.  With that 'Nutty Battery' and such, they must think there is great profit in this sort of 'snake oil'.  Really, who is there to oppose it?  And if they did oppose it, who is there to listen?


Long-lasting Mid-West Vortex Finally Shoved Out by Cold

 



Wow, I am tired of calling Arctic spills.  Both NA and Europe are being hit by huge blasts.  In 2016, when I saw the ocean currents turn over, I said we would be getting colder and colder, while the professional anxiety merchants would say we are getting warmer and warmer.  



The UK is protected by a very weak Atlantic plume.


All the tropical plumes are so weak, you might as well call Medically Assisted Death, and knock them on the head.


The 'Heart of Coldness' the Arctic Basin Vortex is still churning away, making more cold spills.  I'll let you know when I see the first sign of Spring.  The Gulf air is dead, so I'm not expecting much.
