Today is shorter than yesterday, by one minute. We peaked out at 14 hours 50 minutes of daylight and stayed there for about a week. Today the days are officially getting shorter. But it’ll be awhile before that has an effect on temperatures. We’ve been in the high 90’s for a couple weeks, might be getting a ” cool spell” in the high 80’s. High humidity, too. I miss the GSM.
Today’s daylight is longer than yesterday’s daylight.
The effect on temperature will occur in August. That is when the wild animals start molting.
How come the people in the Northern Hemisphere walk around upside down?
When Maurice Strong established the UN Environment Program the terms were to only investigate mankind’s influence on climate, but not to look at natural influences on climate.
That entrenched the fallacy, irrespective of scope broadening later on.
There was3000 feet of ice here where my house is during the last ice age. The mountains behind my house used to be an island in the Pacific Ocean. The volcanos here NW US are recent, many have been and gone over time. The Pacific coast was in Idaho.
I think climate in longer terms. There were no trees here, it was under 3000 feet of ice. Now the new growth in the forest is fantastic and the sea life out in the canal is booming. So much life here when just a while back it was ice. Then it was under a lake. Then it was under sea water. Ya, climate change happens, what’s new?
I don’t think you’re aware of just how dangerous a true solar minimum really is when taking into account we have a world population of more than 8 billion people.
The world has been in a developing solar minimum since 2002 as shown in the Thermosphere Climate Index
During the current solar maximum the thermosphere reached its highest temperature of 34.31×10 (hot zone) after the second week of September 2024. Prior to the X flare activity that increased after Mother’s Day and remained high until September, the thermosphere remained in the warm zone.
Currently the thermosphere temperature is 20.69×10 which is in the warm zone and it has been falling approximately 1×10 every week to 2 weeks. When the thermosphere is in the lower half of the warm zone the earth losses more heat every day than it receives from the sun and this loss of heat increases the more the thermosphere cools. This leads to the cooling and contraction of the lower atmosphere bring colder air closer to the ground, which increases precipitation whether it is rain or snow.
For the last 4 springs late frost have destroyed apple, pear, cherry and other stone fruit crops in both the southern and northern hemispheres. These late and early frost are increasingly further south or north each successive year world wide. So as we leave Solar Cycle 25 much earlier than predicted expect large area crop damage will continue to increase every year, leading to the point where more and more countries cannot feed themselves, and the major food producing counties are left with ever shrinking supply’s.
In the mid 1990’s I had several conversations with NASA while doing research for several oil company and business executives related to the Mayan Calendar 2012 end date and how to prepare for it. At that time NASA was already expressing concerns over the falling temperatures in the thermosphere and what a Grand Solar Minimum would do to our civilization.
What ever the outcome Deb, you will most probably live through the beginning of this calamity.
The fact that both their transportation and communications traveled at the speed of horses and carriages might have been a factor in their inability to deal with climate problems. And they didn’t have refrigeration, either. Or factories to churn out antibiotics, or artificial lighting to grow plants under. It’s a different ballgame now.
July should be much cooler because sunspot count and TCI are lower.
You’ll probably have to use your heater more than AC so get firewood ready in case the power goes out. Good to start thinking about covering crops from frost damage next month too. Greenhouses are easy to make and worth the investment. You can put a woodstove in the greenhouse too to keep the heat up.
You can run a power plant off firewood and install and run freezer equipment to make ice blocks and sell them and charge batts for driverless EV transport of the ice blocks on regular routes.
You could use coal for fuel or goat shit. On a nuclear sub you can have a freezer and a hot tropical room to grow hydroponic mangos 500 feet deep under the Arctic ice sheet.
That’s why we put in a 42 inch natural gas pipeline in from Canada to Oregon 19 years ago to run heaters AND ACs. We doubled the West Coast NG supply with that pipeline.
We should put in more NG pipelines from Canada but these knuckleheads want to shut down NG altogether.
53F and thick fog at the coast now on the Westport live cam. Sun is hot here at 8am, garden is watered and ready for action.
For David and Deb. Thank you both for being here/there. I am attracted to the term Entropy, which I think explains what is going on all the time, all around us, all over Earth. Heat is a form of energy; cold isn’t! The basic idea is that heat moves/migrates/slithers, (as in cold air masses can be blown around here and there, as can warm air masses)( this can get complicated but the heat works always in the same manner, to ward less heat!) whatever the mechanism, from where it is to where it isn’t; as in moving to where there is less heat (or energy state). Cold does not move, cold is a nothing word! Cold is an absence of heat, not the reverse. Equally, Safety is the absence of risk; therefore, nothing is safe unless risk is eliminated; another word swamp better left for another time. Not fun maybe, for the world’s aviation regulators in the coming days. Thermometers measure heat at their location, indicated by an instantaneous temperature display. They do not display the amount of heat. How hot is hot? The temperature of lava running by one does not give any indication of how much heat is in the lava. If the power goes out for a few hours, does your house heat up? No! It cools down as it loses heat. Unless, of course, it is 100F in the shade and there is no shade. Heat is a form of energy. Look up British Thermal Units (BTUs), Calories, and other neat terms like Joules, Ergs, and naonohoopties, etc, which dance around trying to define energy, power, work, etc. Being the newest owner of a new gas furnace and accompanying heat pump, I am having fun trying to explain what the heat pump is doing. On a planetary scale, the same stuff is happening, as entropy determines the state of Earth’s energy balance, which allows humanity to exist. Too much heat is bad and not enough heat is probably badder (worse). The Sun warms the Earth for roughly 12 hours each day and the Earth loses an almost equivalent amount of radiant heat during the next 12 hours, on and on with slight perturbations to the plus or minus sides. Minus gives us ice ages, and plus gives us civilizational upsurges as warm climates encourage the growth of life, and lack of heat kills it/us! Does anyone, for a moment, think that the Earth’s CO2 is rapidly trying to get ahead of or stay behind daytime solar temperature increases? This would take a 1,000 mile per hour hurricane of CO2 24 hours a day. I think not! Why this is so difficult to understand by humanity, particularly the mainstream media, is astounding to me. As the large shining ball in our sky seems to be heading for a period of solar hibernation of maybe up to 50 -75 years, as happened 400 years ago during the Maunder Solar Minimum; ( see Valentina Zharkova’s virtually provable Solar Double Dynamo Theory) already in process and being blindingly (pun here) evident to even the most strident CAGW lunatics; when will them that are supposed to be in charge of taking care of us common folks say out loud, ” Houston, we have a problem here”! Global food production down by 50%? It is on its way there now! Just trying to help here in difficult times that are guaranteed to get more difficult. Billy Best in the Vancouver, BC area.
When a cold snap moves down from the Pole, what happens to the warmth that was there before? Does it run away from the cold? But no, because you said heat moves TOWARD cold.
If that’s the case, then how could you ever have cool weather following warm weather?
I’m leaning more towards an advanced form of AI. I just don’t see how a human being could produce such an unending, voluminous and varied stream of BS for five straight years. It breaks my heart.
Elon made X to do just that. Then the AI is controlled by Starlink.
40 inches of snow forecast in Alaska next two weeks. Nine inches of rain at the coast there by Valdez. No rain forecast here, all the rain going up to Canada and Alaska’s coastline, same pattern for the last few years.
80 F forecast in N Canada at the Arctic O away from the Pacific O and no rain forecast. Warm air going up into the Arctic. Heat from the US going up into Canada and into the Arctic. 80F at Hudson Bay. 60F here at Westport on the live cam this week, cool fresh ocean air and the King Salmon are in.
It snowed two feet in Montana a week ago the US is record cold because the sunspot count is so low. Another year without Summer for the US and EU there’s major crop damage all over from record cold. So much rain they couldn’t plant crops in Kentucky and now July forecast is record cold from the low sunspot count and TCI drop. Probably snow there by September another shortened growing season means no crops again this year. N Carolina bad too should move to Florida ASAP before the snow sets in.
It’s from the wavey jet stream from GSM. The waves are from historically low solar activity. Everything that happens is from GSM. Hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, not windy. Anything that happens just say see, GSM. Hot now, GSM. Wildfires are from the ice knocking down branches, GSM. If it’s foggy, GSM.
Then soon it will snow everywhere all the time and no more crops and billions will die. Double dynamo global disaster. We could have a day with no sunspots any day now and it will just start snowing for decades.
July won’t be hot because of the low sunspot count and TCI dropped. It will be record cold everywhere so get lots of firewood ready for July and stock up on food. There might even be a day with no sunspots!!!!
Electrons have been above Alert Level for days following a major solar wind spike from a coronal hole.
Solar flare yesterday Sunday because Mercury went by Mars.
91F forecast here today, ave is 73. Record was in 2013 during solar flares. Record low 39F was in 2010 during solar minimum and La Nina.
Summer ’09 was wet/cold no corn crop in Western Washington after a record cold Winter/Spring in solar minimum. snow here all Winter into May at sea level.
It’s going to start snowing year round by 2015 in most of the USA and by 2025 many areas will be uninhabitable because of all the snow and most folks will be dead by then from no food. Move to Texas ASAP it will be OK there or Florida. Solar cycle 25 will be so weak it will snow for decades.
Cold air from Eastern BC Canada sinks down the Frasier River canyon into Vancouver BC so It’s 20 degrees colder there than here. That NE wind always brings the cold down the canyon going into the Low pressure in the Pacific Ocean off the coast here in Winter. N wind brings the cold air down here the cold air sinking down from BC, eh? Cold polar air. Doesn’t sound like Billy Bob Best knows Jack shit about weather. Heat pump won’t work when the power goes out after ya get hit by a tsunami.
Another cold week is coming.
Days with very low thermal amplitude in the region where I live. Frosts week to another regions.
Large cold air mass…The Winter is coming.\,,/
Very purple and blue in the South America region!

People used to have higher IQ’s. They said, cold in winter, hot in summer. 🧐
Nowadays we think we’re smart because we have all this technology, and we say, blah, blah, blah and then blah, blah, blah and in addition to that, blah, blah, blah. 🤔 And if that didn’t make it clear, then blah, blah, blah, ad infinitum…

It delivers more blood to our brains, which means that we can think better than some other people.
We pay climate change gas tax and gas is $4.80 a gallon. Non ethanal super is $6 a gallon. Diesel is $5.30 a gallon. California’s prices are way higher from climate change laws.

Today we have lost a total of 2 minutes of daylight. I suppose you stole that one, too!
We do not steal. We will borrow it for 5 months or so.
Lol! 🤣

Davidttx
Much appreciated concepts, thank you David.
(Deb’s unauthorized spokesman)
Moffin!!! 🤨
Dr Tim Ball collated a lot of artwork from the mini ice age period. The fairs and horses and carriages on the river Thames are an example.
Food shortages and civil uprisings are another manifestation.
The fact that both their transportation and communications traveled at the speed of horses and carriages might have been a factor in their inability to deal with climate problems. And they didn’t have refrigeration, either. Or factories to churn out antibiotics, or artificial lighting to grow plants under. It’s a different ballgame now.
Deb. You quite correctly often mention the globalists.
It is doubtful they will cry out, ‘Then let them eat cake’.
;
No, they will be crying out, let them eat vat-raised meat substitute and vegetable based foods. Or let them take the jab and drop dead! 😈
Moffin Deb gave you the Mother LOOK!
Run NOW!
I DID raise two juvenile delinquents, so I probably perfected that “mother look”, lol! 🤨
Just for the record, they stopped being delinquent when they stopped being juvenile. Both are wonderful people today.
But it will be worth it if the summers are finally cool.
Let them eat oats, barley and kale. All of that fruit is full of sugar anyway and encourages parasites.
PS The globalists will make sure there are not so many people to feed, anyway
July should be much cooler because sunspot count and TCI are lower.

I wish I could power my AC with firewood!
You can run a power plant off firewood and install and run freezer equipment to make ice blocks and sell them and charge batts for driverless EV transport of the ice blocks on regular routes.
