My brain is still a total fuzz from the holiday, but I thought I have to do some brainless things to get it back up again.
Long discussions on the boat, mainly to do with the nature of philosophy, with the family. Mainly, that I have been giving philosophers a bum rap. Aristotle was an arrogant faith-based person, not a philosopher. So, standard climate change is a faith that cannot be shattered by simple cold. It is playing the role of the Church during the Reformation, that used Aristotle as a club.
I was hoping that running out of natgas would be a crack in the faith, but, alas, it came so close to a knock-out punch, and then it became warmer, allowing them to pump out more. Maybe next year.
My simple approach to the Earth's temperature is heat energy. To paraphrase a warmie - No Heat Energy, No Temperature -- End of Story.
Here is their summary of ocean heat, which has a horrible bias to warmth, but it is cold now. Once a big favourite on the media, now gone.
The North Atlantic has a huge effect on Europe, now way down.
The Nino zone was going up, now lost its steam.
The Pacific is enjoying southern summer, but is cold.
Very hard for the media to find isolated pockets of heat, so they seem to have given up.
They 'explained' recent cold by the 'collapse of the polar vortex' but how many times can it collapse? I think they need a new excuse.
ps because I think it will be a late Spring, I declare that today is 'Start Tomatoes Day'.
ps. if we could calculate the total heat energy of the oceans, I would say that it is low, at the 1970 level. If we move lower, then it is Little Ice Age level.
