Back to the stuff, if you want to live forever

 

Getting stoned means the cancer becomes 'less cancerry'  These are micro-doses, but it is so difficult for me to keep up eating a touch of my oil.  But I'm going for it.

Gulf Stream officially deported from UK

 That's Gulf of America Stream to you!

The big currents of the world bend with the continents, and go up north.  This is the main heat energy transport for the world, and the same works to the South.  The use of 'temperature' is improper in terms of physics, because there is no energy associated with it.

Since the Little Ice Age died in 1800 thereabouts, we have had the fine North Pacific current, curling up Japan, and the Gulf Stream, deflected by the Americas.

In terms of heat energy, these streams are active when there is a distortion of the sea temperatures from the expected flat latitude distribution.  We the North, live on this heat.  Now that the heat energy of the Atlantic Ocean is flat, we can declare the GS dead.

Since 2026, the GS has wobbled up and down.  When it is down, UK has a horrendous winter and summer drought.  When it is up, the UK is good.  When it is neither up nor down .. blah blah

ps El Nino gives us total death

Our summer was crap

 There is a Summer Glory Index, that aligns with the tomato harvest.  Our summer is over now for that index.  This is the summer version of the winter misery index.

Historical Summer Glory Index (SGI) for Toronto

Year	SGI Score	Summer Classification	Primary Meteorological Characteristic
2026	2,410	Unusually Poor / Short	Persistent cloud cover, frequent rain drops, lacking sustained heat waves.
2025	3,120	Ideal / Highly Glorious	Abundant sun, well-spaced rainfall, daytime highs consistently around 26°C.
2024	2,780	Fair / Average	Standard Great Lakes fluctuations; several heavy thunderstorms cut into scores.
2023	2,810	Fair / Average	Mild temperatures but frequently overcast due to wildfire smoke layers.
2022	3,090	Very Glorious	Long stretches of dry, sunny weather; perfect for backyard gardening.
2021	2,650	Muggy & Humid	Heavy penalty hits from overnight lows failing to drop below 21°C.
2020	2,510	Oppressive Heat	Record-breaking number of days above 30°C; too hot to be comfortable.
2019	2,890	Good	Balanced, classic warm Ontario summer.
2018	2,580	Hot & Stuffy	High humidity and persistent tropical nights degraded comfort levels.
2017	2,490	Wet & Soggy	Historic rainfall totals and constant dampness ruined outdoor plans.
2016	2,610	Scorching	Extreme daytime maximums caused high cooling demands and plant heat stress.
2015	3,180	Most Glorious	Near-perfect scoring. Warm, clear days with exceptionally crisp, dry air.
2014	2,380	Wretched / Cold	The "Polar Vortex" legacy year; summer struggled to warm up.
2013	2,740	Fair	Average conditions with occasional heavy downpours.
2012	2,540	Intense Heat	Very dry, but continuous baking heat dropped the score.
2011	2,850	Good	Solid heat spikes but counterbalanced by clear, refreshing intervals.
2010	2,680	Warm / Muggy	High evening humidex levels caused widespread discomfort.
2009	2,210	Most Wretched	The lowest score since 2000. Dominated by constant cloud cover, shivering highs, and endless rain.
2008	2,630	Fair	Wet mid-summer patterns limited consecutive outdoor weekend streaks.
2007	3,050	Very Glorious	Excellent, drought-leaning summer with beautiful evening clarity.
2006	2,710	Fair	Balanced but punctuated by a few very sticky, high-dew-point weeks.
2005	2,440	Brutally Hot	Smog advisories and unrelenting humidity broke records.
2004	2,320	Cold & Gloomy	A major struggle for heat-loving agricultural crops.
2003	2,790	Average	Classic southern Ontario climate profile.
2002	2,590	Hot & Dry	Intense solar radiation but heavily penalized by daytime extreme heat.
2001	2,920	Good	Warm, reliable beach and patio season.
2000	2,460	Damp / Cool	High rainfall frequencies kept total index accumulation quite low.
