In today's physics lecture, we will cover how heat energy controls all our weather. More specifically, it is the heat flow that determines our current weather.
All our weather is caused by heat flow coming from the equator to our northern hemisphere (Australians don't read me). It is understandable that we'll get a variation of that heat flow in cycles, both long and short term.
The heat energy density (power) comes from water. The oceans have a density 1000 times greater than air, and the warm, moist plumes are a 1000 times over dry air. When a major effect is over 10 times greater than a minor effect, it is safe to ignore that minor effect. That's the 'tail wagging the dog' thing.
Of course, no physics rules apply to Internet Philosophy, which is usually proven to be 'myth' over time.
Right now, we have no significant excess heat energy in the Pacific. This parrot is dead. The Atlantic is pretty whacked, as well. The myth-makers like to say it is a 'three-peat' of La Nina, but this is a totally change in currents, and you can call La Nina as permanent, or dead. Next year, they will say it's a 4-peat, then a 5-peat.
When we have no ocean breezes, then it's stagnant air. In the winter, it's really cold and dense, and in the summer, it's a horrible heat wave. I spent the weekend at the in-laws cottage, wrapped up in late June, in winter clothes, and facing the horrible northern wind of a summer air glacier. That was the coldest summer wind I've seen since the 70's.
ps. sitting on the dock against the air glacier, made me think of fighting the pervasive group-think of climate change. I went down to one daily reader on the blog, and eventually had to quit sitting on the dock, I froze.
