Divide the Earth’s climate warming into 4 parts.
Northern Hemisphere.
Southern Hemisphere.
Winter half-year.
Summer half-year.
Make a separate temperature graph for each part.
The graphs will show that the Northern Hemisphere’s winter half-year has become warmer and accounts for the largest part of the Earth’s warming.
This winter looks to break the pattern of warmer winter half-years in the Northern Hemisphere.
There is no climate scientist who can explain why the winter half-year of the Northern Hemisphere has become warmer because climate scientists do not receive any research money for such research. That is the reason why this climate research is not carried out.
You can make these 4 temperature graphs yourself and demand an explanation from climate scientists and politicians.
I found an article explaining why the northern hemisphere has become warmer in the winter half of the year.
Solar radiation is increasing along with changes in the distance to the sun and the tilt of the Earth’s axis:
The NH has increasing maximum solar intensity across all latitudes and poleward advection will continue to increase with the difference in area average NH Heating and NH Cooling increasing by 5.1W/m² by 2500 over 1980 level. By then, advection in the SH will be reducing from present level; down by 0.2W/m² on 1980. By the year 3000, NH advection will be 7.4W/m² above 1980 level while SH will be 3.7W/m² below 1980 level. Rising maximum solar intensity in the NH will continue to cause increasing global average temperature even when the maximum intensity across the SH is declining. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2026/01/26/changing-sunlight-weather-climate/
We are falling off the peak of the second consecutive low output solar cycle. Unless something changes, the trajectory is temperatures dropping lower, as we are leaving the highest output of a weak solar cycle and moving into the lowest out of this soft solar cycle.
The question is was this weekend storm a once in a decade storm or is it going to be the same or worse for the next decade?
I added a very similar message on this site last Thursday.
There is a ray of hope for less ice accumulation on the southern part of Texas.
We have an interesting real time science experiment that is about to unfold in Texas. A thin layer, approximately seven football fields thick (2,000 feet) of Arctic air will be freezing water on contact. That freezing requires 144 BTU’s per pound of water to convert that rain water to ice. The cold to convert the water to ice will be volunteered by the cold thin atmosphere itself, making the atmosphere warmer. Will that make the storm self defeating and reduce its southern expansion?
Time will tell.
To say it more plainly it saps cold from the atmosphere to create ice. Just like it saps cold from your freezer to freeze a block of ice.
I don’t think any weather model out there considers conversion losses. I could be wrong.
Excited to see the results!
There is reason to believe the forecast models will be a bust in the south. The models spectrum of natural forcing may very well be under developed.
Above is the final iteration of the comment I posted on this site last Thursday and as many other sites as I could. The results are in. Hardly any winter effects in or near Houston.
Just like you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t have a thin layer of freezing atmosphere and surrender a good bit of the cold it contains to create ice and then still remain just as cold.
If the clouds disappear after the snowfall and the cold front stays, it will get colder.
If low pressure with clouds comes in and pushes away the cold front, it will become warmer.
Parts of Montreal have been very hard hit by power outages, since Saturday, amid the polar vortex invading most of North America. My neighbourhood has been especially hard-hit. The thermostat in my house has been as low as 45F, and we’ve been at close family friends’ houses that have largely or entirely been spared. Hydro Quebec knows only partly, at best, what it’s doing in communicating with affected customers, when the power will go back on, etc.
Al Gore famously said children won’t know what snow is.
Kids are goats so I use the term ‘children’.
I did not realize your daylight hours were getting longer. I thought it was my clock running fast so I threw it in the rubbish and bought a new one.
So far I have thrown 30 clocks in the rubbish for running fast but I may do a process audit.
But did Al Gore specifically say “in Canada, USA or Spain”? I think not. Kenneth has been creating more and more fabulous endings to Al Gore’s infamous statement. He’s a hoot!
As for you, Mr. Moffin, you vacillate between being hyperserious to the point of being hypertedious, to being hypereccentric to the point of being certifiable. I guess that’s why I love you so much, you cwazy wabbit! 💕 Have a lovely day! ⛄❄️⛄❄️🐰❄️

Is it possible to identify the. actual causes of the widespread extreme cold weather?
Only climate scientists who research climate warming receive research funding.
Climate scientists who apply for funding for research on climate cooling receive no research funding.

Why is the world so cold in 2026?
IDK, because it’s January?

So much for “kids will never see snow in Canada, USA or Spain again” LOL
Kenneth-
Did somebody actually say that, ever?
