Snowfall in Hawaii

 

A big cold blob was sent out to Hawaii.  My family visiting San Francisco had to put on every stitch of clothing for a sailing excursion.  It's all very cold.

Spencer world temperature plot hung up on residual heat

 

This spike should end up as wide as the other spikes.  If anybody got into the physics of why these spikes all look the same, then they would get in trouble with the warmie police ticks.  

Spencer uses a different method that isn't so sensitive to the ups and downs of Antarctica.  

The tropics are diving, as I expect, and it follows good physics.

The world's are popping up and it is due to the Antarctic.  If you weighted by heat energy, this wouldn't happen, but with their math, a degree rise is added as a degree rise.

This has zoomed tremendously, but it is going down now.  The penguins were happy for the mild weather, but the world doesn't really care about what goes on down there.

US election all comes down to the squirrel

 

Did you know that all our pandemics came from a too-close association with wild animals?  That is why it is illegal to keep wild animals as pets.  A virus can start to ping-pong between the keepers and the animals, until a break-out.  

Cats are bad enough with that parasite, but the standard pets have stabilized over the millennia that we have a handle on it.  Farm animals are also illegal to have as pets in urban situations, although chickens are sometimes okay.

The US rightwingers are all hot on the gov't inferring with abortions, but want the nanny-state to leave squirrel-pets alone.  Guns and wild animals, a perfect combination.

ps. this guy was probably making so much money off the squirrel that the Chinese hacked his account to get his location, to interfere with the election.  :)

ps neat, and then we'll have 'squirrel-vid' killing everybody, and the rightwingers won't take the vaccine.  

ps oh then we'll have people taking their 'comfort squirrels' on airplanes, and then they get loose and start to chew on the wires....

ps What a movie -- "Squirrels on a Plane".  starring sweenies.  The chewed wires stop the plane from landing, and the old lady runs out of food, the squirrels start chomping on people -- scream fest!

Linux -- When KDE goes off the rails

 I use the KDE desktop with my tiny computers.  When I reinstall, I always start with Debian Stable, and then I always creep up to Sid (unstable).  Why?  Because something always happens with KDE.

This last time, suspend stopped working.  I always use it with the little computers.  So, I put it up to sid.  However, that is not sufficient.  You cannot just clear one file to get a new KDE configuration, the files are a dog's breakfast.

So, you have erase your user space, delete the user, and make a new one.  Now, it works.

Unusual eastern air flow continues

 

The Arctic is in recharge mode, ready to fire the cold cannons.  Right now, we have this weird eastern flow that has hit us all autumn.  It is coming down from the Arctic, and I think it avoids the Hudson Bay steam turbine, which is shut off right now because of the warm air over the bay.

Embrace the Carbon!

 

Yeah, I don't know how to embrace the carbon.  Carbon dioxide is deadly, if you walk into a hole filled with it.  Very cold if it is frozen.  However, it makes a nice beer, which I can now get at Costco.  It is making the world greener, but that probably brings biting insects.

All in all, I have no idea what the title means.  I do know that they are not embracing physics.  These guys wouldn't have to embrace the carbon with a little Scientific Method.  But, nobody is doing that, everything is Socratic Debate, or shouting.  

State of the Oceans - Do they care about anything?

 I haven't done this in a long time.  Mainly because nothing is happening, it has been the same for a year now.  The Pacific belt is churning with cold water, and the North Atlantic current is diddling. 

The ice is slowly creeping into that big Greenland Inset.  For the Little Ice Age, it has to totally fill in.  I am expecting that, but the uncertainties of residual heat in the Atlantic, could make me look like a presidential loser.

That current has been the same for a long time.  It is carrying all the heat to Spain, who recently had a stationary cyclone dump all over them.  The heat in Spain does not come to the UK.

I can't conceive of the energy in this turbulent flow.  Probably more than 10 times anything else.

However, that means no heat energy is being carried to the West.  They will have fun trying to get a La Nina out of this.  

I used to think that the Atlantic belt contributed to the Gulf Stream, but it doesn't.  Right now, there is no feed to the Gulf and it makes no difference.  The Gulf of Mexico doesn't have any heat energy right now, but there's lots around the Caribbean.  Without more physics, I have no clue what this means.

ps for the title, the oceans are the "Apex Energizers" of the world, they don't care about anything.

ps just found this chart.  It's the water temperature of the classic El Nino zone in the Pacific equatorial belt.

The red line is last year, and the very peak is 2015, just before the Big One.  Neat, shows how cold we are now.  The mechanism for this variation is amazing, whatever it is.

Strong eastern wind warms up our weather again

 Yeah, we have warmth again, and we have a mechanism.  But we don't have the forces, because nobody measures anything.  We'll just use the standard philosophical claim of clange.

This is the 'curling eastern flow' that has been responsible for our fall warm spells.  It is a totally new thing, and it is curling lower each time.

It is probably driven by the warm water in the Atlantic above the equator.  Who knows?  We let the warmies focus on the warm spells, and I'll focus on the cold blobs.  Happiness all around.

Greenland is warm and the Arctic is in recharge.  More cold blobs next week, but enjoy our 3 days of warmth.

If the "Heart of Darkness" wins the election, maybe he'll go after "The Big N's".  But don't expect more physics.

ps. The US Civil War is re-enacted every presidential election.  This year may be noted by the big tickietok campaign 'Cancel your old dad's vote'.  I think that's brilliant, but may cause shooting at the big line-ups.  

Tropical temperatures go down again

 

This should now start the "Great Divergence" from last year.  The residual heat has remained far too long.

There seems to be nothing very warm along the tropics belt.  I hope the Caribbean heat holds for my vacation.  The world temperature chart goes up and down with the drum beat of Antarctica.  That's just the math error in the results.

Arctic back in recharge, after just a little puff

 

Some of us got cold, but it is over now.  A tropical plume is now coming over Greenland.  We'll wait and the blobs should be larger with a cleaner leading edge.  

ps - and in honour of spookiness, we have the 'Ghost La Nina".  They just can't give it up.

Tide gauge goes down again

 A tide gauge records 'local sea level'.  The warmies have used their semantics power to redefine it as 'sea level'.  They have shoved the old sea level definition into the corner as 'Absolute sea level' and never mention it.  That is why they are always right, they define the foundations of discussion.

The land on which the tide gauges sit goes up and down like a toilet seat.  That point is never mentioned.  However, this gauge is the only one in the world (that I have found) where the land is as still as a rock.  It is probably just between rising and sinking sections.  

This acts as a true thermometer of the oceans.  They get warm, and the level rises on the short scale.  Thus, you can see every historical warm and cold cycle, if you want to.  We have entered a cold section with peaks.  We know that the peak has passed.

Recharged Arctic hits hard

 

The Arctic is fully recharged when there is good cold all over Greenland.  My hypothesis is that it is acting like a tip-bucket.  When it is full, it tips out, down established channels.  For a while, ocean warmth stopped it from coming down on Toronto and Europe.  The full spill went over California and Asia a couple of times, and nobody cared.

Now, we have the channels.  

So much fun.  Of a more serious note, the 'Greenland Inset' is freezing over.

This will freeze up the islands of Svarl and Nzem.  When that whole channel is full of ice, the Road to Europe is open.

The North Pole cyclones are breaking up, but the Hudson Bay Steam Turbine remains.  It floats this way and that way, but is always around.  It is gone when the bay freezes up.

ps. Woo, that was a cold dog walk.

Antarctic ozone hole smallest in decades

 

The Antarctic had a warm winter, thanks to our monster heating event of last year.  Since the ozone holes, are strongly affected by temperature, this proves that banning freon is working.  Such is the wonder of selective vision.

You would think a little bit of physics here might save billions, but why use the Scientific Method when you are so sure of things?
