The article on the trees touching the high arctic seems to confirm my experience several years ago when I was in Edmonton on a work assignment, On the weekend I went to the museum. There was a large display about native life from 10,000 years ago to the present. One thing that stood out for me was the fact that they said they had very little material for the period 3,000 BC to 6,000 BC because the weather in Alberta was much warmer and drier than today and since the natives camped along the lakeshores their camps were now all under water. This article confirms what the native science says. Not much human caused carbon dioxide 6,000 years ago.
S American GFS loop shows the heat up in North Brazil during the day. It’s 93F there now and low is 71 tonight. Extreme fire danger. 93F there in Winter is average temp but that would be record hot today here in Summer. Brazil is hotter in Winter than it is here in Summer. There is moderate drought there and no rain forecast. Hot and dry.
Another hurricane off Mexico in the Pacific Ocean forecast cat 2 tomorrow.
116F in AZ today, record hot. Electrons way above Alert Level again today. A solar flare is expected to hit us tomorrow night and another electron spike from that this week. Volcanos erupting all over from the solar activity.
Oz, NZ, S America and S Africa in SO2 plumes from volcanos now. S Japan and Hawaiian volcanos erupting big again. Very different SO2 pattern going through Oz and Nz right now. Low pressure off Sydney gusting 66mph, 14 feet waves off Oz N of Sydney, Heavy rain now in Sydney around the Low pressure loaded with SO2. Cloud tops around the Low 36,000 feet. Seven inches of rain forecast S of Sydney next seven days. Also seven inches of rain forecast in N Nz next seven days. Plants like water so that’s great, plant some Kiwis.
And it’s very cold in NSW so our Australian Alps will take a pounding with fresh powder nearly every day. We’re going through more firewood than ever this year with freezing cold and skyrocketing prices on our so-called, “cheap, renewable energy”.
What did we do to deserve a weather report for the whole planet every day?
Couldn’t you compress that down to a couple sentences, dude? Like, it’s cold in winter and it’s hot in summer. That’s plenty for most normal people. Most people are not going to prowl around the world looking for that one little corner with anomalous temps, are they? Most people have better things to do.
I went to weather school in the US Navy and did weather reports 50 years ago and then took weather classes etc in college. The reason I have a computer is watch weather and space weather and learn more about how it all works. We didn’t have tools like Windy.com back in the Navy or in college or any space weather views.
The sunspot count went back up for June. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression
On another website I go to someone posed the question, does AI have emotions, feel pain, etc. i answered that since we cannot read minds and have to judge by outer signs, I hope the end of the world comes before we have to figure out whether AI is in pain or not. Can we take their word for it?
I don’t see how a machine can have emotions or feel pain unless it’s conscious. A couple of years ago one the leading AI programmers claimed that his program had become conscious, based on the answers it gave to questions. Pretty much no one believed him but there was a bit of discussion in the media about how to tell with a high degree of certainty if a machine is conscious or just giving a really good impression of consciousness, perhaps because that was it was programmed to do, and how to tell which it was. Alan Turing, who cracked the German enigma code in WWII by making probably the world’s first computer, came up with the Turing test to see if a computer was conscious. If someone can spend a long time talking to something without knowing if it’s a person or a computer and not be able to tell which one it was then if it was a machine it was conscious.
Is consciousness an inevitable outcome of some types of complexity so it’s inevitable that sooner or later computers will be conscious or is it something else. I’m an atheist but thought that most Christians would say that consciousness is a gift from God and therefore only humans can be conscious.
The Holocene Thermal Maximum used to be know as the Holocene Climate Optimum. Obviously it was renamed because the alarmists can’t accept that warmth is beneficial, when they aren’t torturing the data to try and show that it didn’t happen and be able to claim a year was the hottest for 100,000 years.
Since the introduction of automated stations just a few years ago in Australia, (which are known to have a warm bias of 1.2 F (.7C) for surface obs, this warm bias error must be accounted for. So with the known warm bias of .7 C (1.2F), Canberra’s average for June would be 39.8 F. For a reference point, the latitude of Canberra is similar to the climate of Wilmington, NC, in the SE Unites States. Plus there is up to 2,000 miles of water that separates Australia from Antarctica below. That makes the cold this June even more impressive than it would for the southern US.

Interesting lookback on the time when trees grew up to the edges of the Arctic Ocean, along with the time.
Thanks,

I mean, who really cares how high the damn clouds are? Only AI!
Dirk really cares, Deb.
Ouch.
You mean “Road Pizza”?
I’m sorry, Mr Roboto.

What is your opinion on that subject, Mr Roboto?
