HOW LONG WILL THIS MILD AIR TYPE REMAIN IN OUR REGION? IT DEPENDS ON HIGH PRESSURE AREAS THAT CAN FORM A BLOCKAGE SO THAT NO WESTERN OR NORTH-WESTERN WINDS CAN REACH THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT, LOW PRESSURE AREAS WITH COLD FRONTS REMAIN TOO LONG ON THE OCEAN, SO COLDER AIR BEHIND THESE FRONTS HAS ALREADY WARMED UP
AND THEN ONLY LATER COME IN A WEAKEN FORM TO THE EUROPEAN LAND.

HEAT SOURCE 2 (DURATION DEC-FEB) FOR EUROPE STOPS GENTLE SEA AIR FROM THE (AZORES AREA), WITH THE DOMINANT SOUTH-WESTERN CURRENT.
HEAT SOURCE 1 (DURATION MARCH-SEPT ) FOR EUROPE STARTS,
HIGH PRESSURE AREAS COME WITH BLOCKAGES AND MAINLY BLOCK

FAIRLY LOGICAL IT IS OFTEN HIGH PRESSURE WEATHER WITH BLOCKAGES AND ARE ALSO LARGE IN

Lol!!!
When it was snowy and super cold during january and february in Belgium and the Netherlands, among central Europe, you said nothing hehehehe.
In Belgium in january, the max temp was 5C in Brussels, and just during a few hours we had 10 C one afternoon (cherry picking) The rest of the month, including febraury also until yesterday was a classic winter, with no sunshine, frosts and snow ( during 1 week in Brussels with accumulations of 20-30cm in the neighborhods with less concrete and more green areas)
In The Ardennes we had minimal temps of -8 to -10, a classic winter.
I have been following this blog for a couple of years and feel it is time to enter the discussion.
In fall of 1956 I was in a cotton field in the S. Eastern TX Panhandle with my relatives picking cotton or at least I remember them picking cotton. This was the day after the first mechanical cotton picker had ever been in the county causing great concern. This gives you an idea of how old I am and I have been interested in the weather and what drives it my whole life.
What I have noticed in this blog is everyone is concerned with the weather from the bottom up, but is the weather from the top down that drives mass starvation, but in the first post I’ll only address the CO2 global warming issue.
Only a very small part of the infrared spectrum heats only carbon atoms that then radiate that heat to water molecules in the atmosphere. Since that part of the infrared spectrum is very small and the percentage of carbon in our atmosphere is only 0.04 percent, then how does CO2 cause global warming?
Governments tell us man’s burning of fossil fuels is increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but they fail to tell you the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere almost doubled between 1955 and 1965. This sudden increase had nothing to do with burning fossil fuels, but was due to the testing nuclear weapons. When nuclear devices are detonated high energy radiation like gamma ray strike nitrogen in the atmosphere converting it to carbon 14. Prior to the nuclear age carbon 14 was almost undetectable in the atmosphere. In 1965 the nuclear test ban treaty went into effect and the first national earth day was held in 1967.
There are other mechanism that convert nitrogen to carbon 14, 2 of those being lightning and gamma rays from space that increase during solar minimums. So if we are going into a multi-decade solar minimum, then no matter what humans do with hydrocarbons burning the CO2 in the atmosphere is going to increase significantly during this period.
And on a separate note, gamma rays convert sulfur into chlorine in the upper atmosphere, so when the governments told us in the late 1970s Freon (Chlorofluorocarbon) was destroying the earths ozone layer they weren’t telling us the truth. Large volcanic eruptions eject massive amounts of sulfur into the upper atmosphere that is then converted into chlorine. It was this sulfur transitioned chlorine that was destroying the ozone, which is a natural process that has been going on since earth has had an atmosphere.
In closing this first post I will point out gamma rays don’t cause earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, but these two events are part of whole picture of global cooling and warming, that I will address in coming days.
‘Only a very small part of the infrared spectrum heats only carbon atoms that then radiate that heat to water molecules in the atmosphere.’
When referring to water molecules are you including water vapour and ice in that reference.
Also, as there are more water molecules in the atmosphere than CO2 the statement that CO2 re-emits to H20 appears challengeable.
Whilst ozone is said to filter the higher energy ultra violet I have wondered about x-rays and gamma rays.

Are the US warming fanatics (read: liberal loons) already judge shopping?
What I was trying to say is the suns (light) radiation in the infrared spectrum accounts for about 49% of heating of the earth and only a tiny fraction of that infrared is in a wave length that heats CO2 in the atmosphere. The fact that atmospheric CO2 makes up only 0.04 percent and the heat CO2 absorbs is then re-emitted in the infrared spectrum that is absorbed by H2O molecules, CO2 as a green house gas cannot account for any measurable rise in temperature. H2O is by far the most important green house gas as shown in the temperature differences between the beach and the desert. The beach temperature rises very slowly during the day and falls equally as slowly during the night. Because H2O in any of its states is a huge energy sink, it absorbs and holds large amounts of infrared as heat during the day and then re-radiates that same stored infrared as heat during the night. In the desert where the atmosphere has almost no H2O the suns infrared heats the land that then heats the air, which cause extreme temperatures during the day. At night the temperatures crash, because there is virtually no H2O molecules to re-radiate stored heat. Without that buffer the land, with little ability to store and hold its heat quickly radiates its stored heat into space.
When I wrote it is the weather from the top down we need to fear what I mean is like the desert not being able to hold its heat, the earth has that same problem.
In the colder region of this planet people know about mylar blankets and how they work. Unlike other blanket that hold more heat by weight in their fibers, slowing its release, thus keeping you warm, mylar weighs almost nothing and holds no heat. What mylar does is reflect about 97% the infrared back to its source.
The earth’s atmosphere has its own type of mylar blanket that rises and falls with the solar cycles. When the earth’s mylar blanket is at its most efficient state the planet is warm, but when it fades the earth is visited by cold and ice ages.
The earth’s mylar blanket is the thermosphere, that begins about 70 miles (Texan no metric) above the earths surface and extends outward to about 140 miles more or less depending on the solar cycle. The thermosphere’s temperature can range from cold to hot. When the thermosphere is hot it acts as a very efficient mylar blanket, reflecting the earth’s stored infrared back to the planet keeping it warm. But when the thermosphere is cold there is no mylar reflected infrared going back to earth as heat, it is being released into space. During solar minimums the earth loses more heat than it gains every day even during the summer. This loss heat is cumulative so the longer the solar minimum the dire the consequences.
The way this works is when sunspot activity is increasing the sun emits more UV and Xray radiation, which heats the thermosphere. When sunspot activity is falling so does the temperature of the thermosphere. When the thermosphere temperature falls it weakens the jet stream and the trade winds. The weakened trade winds weaken the ocean currents like the gulf stream and the Pacific el nino, la nina cycles. The weakened jet stream leads to deep troughs and ridges causing extreme temperature fluctuation, as well droughts and floods.
You can watch this happen in real time by going to spaceweather.com and looking under the picture of the sun and under the sunspot numbers to the Thermosphere Temperatures. Note everyday couple of days there is no strong UV sunspot burst the thermosphere temperature will fall. The coldest temperature of the Thermosphere occurred in 2009 solar minimum.
Cap should include tracking the thermosphere temperature on this site.
UAH GT spiked in 2016 and 2020 with no solar flares, TCI was low.
Do you have an updated GSM chart showing why you’re here talking about it?
Will the Sun’s mag strength increase or decrease when measured at solar minimum, by how much based on what info?
“Have you noticed that there has been a very alarming rise in volcanic activity in recent months? According to Volcano Discovery, 38 volcanoes around the globe have recently erupted, and dozens more are showing signs of either unrest or minor activity. In all my years, I have never seen anything quite like this, and I am entirely convinced that seismic activity will only increase during the months ahead. Here in the United States, I am watching Mt. Rainier very closely, and Yellowstone is a threat that is constantly hanging over our heads. But scientists are warning that Mount Spurr could actually be the next volcano to erupt inside U.S. territory…”
Hawaii volcano probably next since it’s been quite active. The three alignment dates next five weeks I listed above increase probability.
Record snow in Cali two years ago was from Hawaii and Kamchatka volcanos from solar flares from planetary alignments. Easy to recall the data and show the flares and SO2 plumes and where the planets were just like Tonga the year before.
Lots of new SO2 around S EU now going up into Sweden and up into the Arctic. Can’t even tell where all that is from, what a mess. Also N Africa to Persia up into Siberia and across joining Kamchatka’s new spew. S Africa still erupting two areas.
Volcanos were quiet on cosmic ray max, max volcanos on CR min. Hurricane in the Pacific O off NW US in ten hours forecast gusting 96mph waves 34ft. Look at the SO2 feed into the cyclone and watch on live cams around the NW. Live action not it might happen someday.

Volcanos were quiet on cosmic ray max, max volcanos on CR min. Hurricane in the Pacific O off NW US in ten hours forecast gusting 96mph waves 34ft. Look at the SO2 feed into the cyclone and watch on live cams around the NW. Live action not it might happen someday.
