NEW ZEALAND SUFFERS ALL-TIME RECORD COLD, AS GREENLAND SNOW & ICE GAINS HEAD OFF THE CHARTS [LITERALLY]
MAY 27, 2021 CAP ALLON

Every key data point now indicates a cooling planet.

How long will it be before the likes of the IPCC and their MSM lapdogs report on the facts?

How long will it be before the masses are awoken from their manufactured psychosis and have it revealed to them that everything they were ever told was based on lies and agendas?

AGW can never explain a cooling planet — that simply won’t fly — folks are set for a brutal awakening.

NEW ZEALAND SUFFERS ALL-TIME RECORD COLD

On the morning of Thursday, May 27, New Zealand suffered a wave of historical cold.

A powerful Antarctica air mass brought the mercury plunging to -8.8C (16F) at Dunedin International Airport, which is located in the SE of the South Island at an elevation of 1.2 m (4 ft).

This reading ties the all time lowest temperature EVER recorded at the airport (set in both May 1988 and July 2007), in record books dating back to 1963.

According to NIWA (New Zealand’s official meteorological agency), -10.1C (13.8F) was recorded at Middlemarch, a small town in the Otago region of the South Island cited at an elevation of 213m (699 feet).

This is the town’s lowest autumn temperature since 2001.

An even lower reading was logged at Tara Hills, Otago 466 m (1,529 ft).

Here, a bone-chilling -10.8C (12.5 F) was logged.

Again, this is the weather station’s coldest ever reading in the month of May.



These are incredible lows, particularly for fall, particularly in this time of catastrophic global heating [sarc!].

NIWA said that many towns and cities suffered their lowest May temperatures this morning, and at low elevations, too — not that they explain exactly what they deem ‘low elevation.’


Fog and frost at Loch Cameron near Twizel, NZ.

These are not only the first sub -10C readings of the year, but are also New Zealand’s coldest May temperatures since 2001, at least. However, I’m sure it will be revealed that many more all-time records fell this morning as the preliminary data is verified.

GREENLAND SNOW & ICE GAINS HEAD OFF THE CHARTS [LITERALLY]

Following on from yesterday’s article re the historic late-season surface mass balance gains on Greenland, the world’s largest island has now posted GAINS that have literally shot the SMB off the charts.

Looking below at the official numbers, courtesy of the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), it is revealed that single day gains of more than 12 gigatons were logged yesterday, May 26.

This is astonishing, unprecedented, and not only for late-May, but also for any time during the snow season.


[DMI]

SMB_curves_LA_EN_20210526.png

Yesterday’s (May 26) monster SMB gain [DMI].

I’m waiting to see if this is an error.

It’s unlikely to be a mistake, as it looks to continue the record gains obtained on the previous day; however, the DMI are prone to making the odd error, though usually in the other direction — they have been known to exaggerate warmth.

During the summer of 2019, the DMI admitted it wrongly reported a record high temperature in Greenland.

The institute said a “shocking” early-August temperature of between 2.7C (37F) and 4.7C (40.5F) was logged at the Summit weather station, located some 3,200 m (10,500 ft) ASL at the center of the Greenland ice sheet.
The news quickly spread to every corner of the left-leaning web.

However, just a few days later the DMI posted a tweet retracting that record temp, saying that after a “closer look” it was revealed that the monitoring equipment had been giving “erroneous results.” By combining measurements with observations from other weather stations, the DMI then estimated that the temperature was more like -2C (28F) — quite a difference, and still only a guess.

“You could say that this is good news from a climate perspective,” Herdis Damberg, one of the Institute’s meteorologists told Danish state broadcaster DR. “There are probably a lot of people wiping their foreheads saying that it’s pretty good that it wasn’t four degrees.”

In my opinion, Damberg is an idiot — an erroneous reading like this is terrible news from a climate perspective: the damage was done almost instantly when hundreds of MSM outlets, all proponents of the fake climate scare, leaped to publish the scary EOTW data.

In the end though, the DMI concluded that it was actually heavy snow (ironically) that had caused poor ventilation around the thermometers at the site, wrongly boosting the temperature.

CME UPDATE

To finish, those minor coronal mass ejections (CMEs) we were expecting to combine and hit Earth on May 25 finally did so, but during the late hours of May 26 (UT).

The combined CME was slow, but dense, doubling the density of solar wind in its wake:


[spaceweather.com]

Once again, the likes of NOAA didn’t give this impending impact much thought.

But once again, the reality delivered something of a surprise — a geomagnetic storm and the KP reaching level 5:

The latest space weather overview plot
[NOAA].

Earth’s magnetic field is weaker than we’ve all realized.

If we survive Solar Cycle 25 without a grid-down scenario then we should consider ourselves lucky.


The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with the great conjunction, historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Furthermore, we can’t ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

A Twitter post from a British meteorologist has gone viral after he detected "mind-boggling" temperatures within the Arctic Circle in Russia, where the thermometer last week hit 30°C, hotter than almost everywhere else in Europe.

Scott Duncan, a professional meteorologist based in London who designed the popular weather-forecasting website WXCHARTS, tweeted on May 19 that such temperatures are "truly exceptional for any time of the year," but even more shocking in the month of May.

"This part of the Arctic is 20-24°C hotter than average for this time of year," Duncan said.


View: https://twitter.com/ScottDuncanWX/status/1395039582522122249


The meteorologist went on to describe how, last week, most of Europe was colder than average, while the Russian north was simultaneously far hotter than normal mid-May temperatures.

In the last few years, Russia's Arctic has seen extreme swings in temperature. Last June saw the small town of Verkhoyansk in the region of Yakutia break the record for the highest temperature ever recorded within the Arctic Circle, hitting a maximum of 38 degrees Celsius.

Verkhoyansk had already held the record for the greatest temperature range on Earth, having once hit -68 degrees during winter.

It's not just Russia's Arctic that has seen temperatures increase in recent times. A few days after his post about the far north, Duncan revealed that Russia had broken its national heat record for May, with temperatures almost reaching 40°C in Khasavyurt, a city in the southern Republic of Dagestan.

Earlier this year, at his annual speech to the Federal Assembly, Russia's President Vladimir Putin announced that the country would adapt its industries to global warming and establish strict controls over harmful emissions. Putin has previously voiced his concern about the effect of climate change on Russia, noting that 65% of the country's territory is made up of permafrost, and any drastic change could have disastrous consequences for the economy.

MONTHLY LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS FALL IN VANUATU, AS LATE-SEASON SNOW AND UNPRECEDENTED COLD SWEEP TORONTO, CANADA
MAY 29, 2021 CAP ALLON

The “crazy conspiracy theorists” are being proved right, again. But it was never crazy conspiracies that were being theorized. The outspoken few were merely “applying logic” — a skill the impaired herds were educated out of a long time ago, as children, in the indoctrination stations known as schools.

The world is corrupt
— most people are all too happy to agree with this statement.

We are being lied to at every corner of life — yet most people struggle with this one.

MONTHLY LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS TUMBLE IN VANUATU

Following on the heels of New Zealand’s all-time cold, record lows are now sweeping the Y-shaped South Pacific Ocean archipelago of VANUATU–which consists of roughly 83 volcanic islands and stretches approx. 1,300 kilometres.

On May 27, the mercury sank to 14.3C (57F) at Pekoa Airport, located on Espiritu Santo Island

On May 28, a low of 12.5C (54.5F) was registered at the Port Vila Airport, situated on Efate Island.

Both readings are new record lows for the month of May.



Back in July of 2018, Ambae island (Vanuatu) faced a mandatory evacuation due to its erupting volcano.

“I want to leave, but I don’t know where I’m going to live,” said one islander at the time.

Dramatic pictures taken from Ambae showed the volcanic plume blocking out the Sun.

The aftermath showed the island coated in a think layer of ash:

View: https://twitter.com/t_karae/status/1022697498878431232

Ambae’s volcanic awakening –just like its cooling– can be attributed to changes in the Sun.

More specifically, to the recent drop-off in solar activity, and the increase in Galactic Cosmic Rays, which, in the case of this witnessed seismic and volcanic uptick, lead to the excitement of muons in the subsurface.

LATE-SEASON SNOW AND UNPRECEDENTED COLD SWEEP TORONTO, CANADA

May 28 was a historic ‘double-whammy’ of a day in Toronto, Canada.

First off, the day entered the weather books as the city’s coldest May 28 ever recorded, according to Environment Canada warning preparedness meteorologist Peter Kimbell.

The daytime high had only reached a frigid 4C (39.2F) by Friday afternoon.

For the next coldest May 28 you have to turn all the way back in 1889, according to books for downtown Toronto dating back to 1840. In other words, it’s been 130 years since Torontonians have suffered a May 28 this cold.

Even more astonishingly, just a few days ago Toronto hit a high of 33C (91.4F) — this serves as yet another powerful example of the ‘swings between extremes’ suffered during times of low solar activity:


Secondly, Friday also delivered rare, late-May snowfall to the city.

This is Toronto’s second latest snow on record after June 4, 1945 (solar minimum of cycle 17).

“It’s a bit of a shock to see flurries and white snowflakes when it’s supposed to be a normal high of 22C (71.6F),” said Kimbell.

SURPRISING ARCTIC SEA ICE THICKNESS IS GOOD NEWS FOR POLAR BEARS

Zoologist Susan Crockford has called late-May’s distribution of thick Arctic sea ice (3.5-5m/11.5-16.4 ft – or more) “surprising,” particularly given the WMO’s suggestion that we may be only five years to avert a “dangerous tipping point” in global temperatures.

There is the usual and expected band of thick ice in the Arctic Ocean across northern Greenland and Canada’s most northern islands, writes Crockford on her website polarbearscience.com, but there are also unexpected patches in the peripheral seas (especially north of Svalbard, southeast Greenland, Foxe Basin, Hudson Strait, Chukchi Sea, Laptev Sea),

This is plenty of sea ice for polar bear hunting.

That thick ice will provide summer habitat for bears that choose to stay on the ice during the low-ice season.


Arctic Sea Ice Thickness (May 25, 2021)

According to Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) data, there is far more ice north of Svalbard this year than there was last year–when thick ice caused the Arctic research vessel Polarstern debacle.


Arctic Sea Ice Thickness (May 25, 2020)

Also, the thick ice off Greenland this year is hardly surprising, given the current record-breaking accumulations of snow and ice across the island:


[DMI]

Thick ice in Foxe Basin (west of Baffin Island) at this time of year is to be expected, continues Crockford, but in Hudson Strait north of Quebec, not so much:



And finally, with regards to that “dangerous” tipping point mentioned above: the WMO recently stated there is a 40% chance the global temperature will rise 1.5C above pre-industrial levels in one year by 2026; however, the organization lists a host of specific stipulations, conditions, and limitations to their prediction, all listed in a BBC report.

And anyhow, that 1.5C level has always been a fantasy number, one plucked out of thin air by some corrupted propagandist that happens to have a PhD after their name.

Our planet is cooling.

Every key dataset reveals this.

And the establishment will soon report on this fact.

But remember, this is 1984 — there will be no retractions, no apology for the past 4-decades of scandalous fear-mongering. No, sit back and watch in befuddlement as all previous talk of ‘catastrophic global warming’ is simply abandoned, erased from consciousness, never to be spoken of again.

Wait for the MSM’s next 180 flip.


The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with the great conjunction, historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Record Cold Memorial Day to Challenge Temps from the Mid 1800s - Ice Age Now

Record Cold Memorial Day to Challenge Temps from the Mid 1800s
May 29, 2021 by Robert

Snowfall in places! Freeze advisories in northern-tier states! On Memorial Day!

Perhaps the idea that we’re headed for a new Little Ice Age isn’t so far-fetched after all.
_________

29 May 2021 – “In the Northeast, daily high temperatures Saturday could be as much as 20 degrees below normal and even challenge records in places,” says AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. “Add to that a soaking rainfall and the recipe for a holiday weekend spoiler is complete.”

“There’s even the chance that some wet snowflakes can mix in at times over the higher elevations of upstate New York at the start of the weekend,” Sosnowski warns.

“A bit of sleet and snow was observed in parts of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Friday morning. North of the precipitation area, freeze advisories were issued over the northern tier of the United States.

Unseasonably cold air “may also challenge record low maximum temperatures that have been in the books as far back as the middle 1800s.”

Dozens of locations could set record-low maximum temperatures on Saturday alone

“There are dozens of locations that could set record low maximum temperatures on Saturday alone in the Northeast,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Jesse Ferrell said.

“In some cases, the records have withstood the test of time since the mid-1800s.

“For example, the forecast high temperature for Philadelphia Saturday is only 55 F. If this occurs, it would break the record low maximum temperature of 56 set in 1884. Washington, D.C., may break its record low maximum of 58 set in 1893 on Saturday. In New York City, the forecast high for Saturday is 54 — some 20 degrees below the average high for this time of year.

Midwest cities such as Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, have already been impacted by the out-of-season storm.

Record cold going back to the mid 1800s, and Accuweather’s headline merely calls it “Unseasonably Cold” ! ? ! ?

Snow fell on Stratton Mountain in Vermont
© STRATTON MOUNTAIN RESORT
Snow fell on Stratton Mountain in Vermont on Saturday morning, part of a wet weekend across New England.

It was a rainy start to Memorial Day weekend in Boston on Saturday — and a snowy one in part of Vermont.

The peak of Stratton Mountain was blanketed in heavy, wet snow overnight Friday into Saturday morning, canceling gondola rides, mountain biking, and yoga sessions at the Stratton Mountain Resort.

Snowfall during the spring isn't uncommon on the mountain, but late May is unusual.

Andrew Kimiecik, a marketing communications specialist for the resort, said a small storm hit the mountain during the first week of May last year.

"One out-of-place storm in May isn't always unusual, but to see one this late in the month is a pretty uncommon occurrence," Kimiecik said.

Snow was still falling at the top of the mountain late Saturday afternoon, but footage from a live stream at the peak showed that it had stopped by early evening.

The snowfall, which appeared to be about an inch via the live footage, was likely confined to elevations 3,000 feet and above, said Dan Thompson, a meteorologist with the weather service in Albany, N.Y.

Mount Snow, which is also located in the Green Mountains, also saw about an inch of snow, according to its live camera feed.

The gondolas will remain closed Sunday at Stratton Mountain while scenic rides and the mountain biking trail will be evaluated for reopening, according to a post on the resort's official Twitter account.

While some visitors were at the resort Saturday, the wet, chilly weather seemed to keep others away.

"The forecast before the weekend even started was calling for rain, so I think that held things back a bit," Kimiecik said.

In Massachusetts, rain poured down across the state Saturday, dumping about 2 inches in the Boston area and eastern part of the state, the weather service said.

With a high of 44 degrees, Worcester set a new record low high temperature for May 29, according to the weather service
. The previous record was set in 1917, when a temperature of 51 degrees was recorded, according to the weather service.

Meanwhile, Boston, where the temperature reached 50 degrees, fell just one degree shy of setting a record low high temperature for the day, the weather service said.

Minor coastal flooding could hit low-lying areas near the shore in Eastern Massachusetts early Sunday morning, particularly on the North Shore, according to a coastal flood advisory on the weather service's website.

A gale warning is in effect until early Sunday morning along the Massachusetts coast, while a wind advisory is in place for Cape Cod and the islands through Saturday evening, the weather service said.

Rain and cool temperatures are expected in Boston throughout Sunday. Memorial Day will likely be drier, with a 59 percent chance of rain around noon in the city, with that likelihood shrinking to 39 percent by 6 p.m., the weather service said.

"Right now, it looks like there could be some morning showers that could dry out for the second half of the day on Monday," said Rodney Chai, a meteorologist for the weather service.

Rain will likely hit Boston again late Wednesday into Thursday, along with parts of Northern New England later in the week.

But no more snow for Stratton Mountain — at least this weekend. Probably.

"It's spring in New England," Kimiecik said. "You've got to be ready for anything."

NEW YORK CITY TIES 1884 RECORD FOR LOWEST-MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE THIS LATE IN THE SEASON
MAY 31, 2021 CAP ALLON

Well below average and record breaking temperatures continue to grip swathes of the United States this Memorial Day weekend.

Today, Monday, May 31 vast pockets of the CONUS are set to suffer exceptional lows for the time of year.

States from Arizona to New Brunswick seeing temperature departures some 30 degrees colder than normal:


GFS 2m Temperature Anomalies for late-May [tropicaltidbits.com].

The entire weekend has been a write off in New York City, with everyone from Manhattan tourists to Coney Island shopkeepers battling record cold and rain.

“It’s like winter weather in the middle of spring,” said one shopper in Manhattan on Sunday.

May 29 was a particularly cold day across the City.

The historic station of Central Park observed a daytime high of just 51F (10.6C) on Saturday — a reading which ties the lowest-maximum temperature ever recorded so late in the season, set back in 1884.

Hundreds of stations across the Northeast have reported (and are continuing to report) new benchmarks for late-spring cold. Descending Arctic air has been reinforced by a zone of low pressure along the East Coast that in turn has brought clouds and rain, blocking out the May Sun (a setup related to low solar activity).

Below are just a few examples of the new benchmarks:

Washington logged a high of 59F (15C) — the second coldest on record and the coldest high temperature this late in the spring since 1997 (solar minimum of cycle 22).

Baltimore saw a high of 58F (14.4C) — the city’s coldest May 29 on record.

Philadelphia’s high of 54F (12.2C) was its coldest on record.

Pittsburgh’s high of 51F (10.5C) was also its coldest on record.

While Albany registered a high of barely 50F (10C) — again, its coldest May 29 ever recorded.

Moreover, and as touched on above, the historic cold hasn’t just been confined to the Northeast.

Many locations from Ohio and Kentucky, eastward to New England either broke or tied daily records for lowest high temperature on May 29, according to AccuWeather.

And in Boston, where the high was just 50, it was colder on Saturday than it was on either Christmas or St. Patrick’s Day, reported Jacob Wycoff on Twitter:

While SNOW was even observed over the mountains of Vermont:

The chart gives you a better idea of the widespread nature of the cold.

Shown are the fallen temperature records (for both hot and cold) over the past 24 hours alone:



Looking ahead, this weekend’s unseasonable chill will linger in central, southern and eastern parts for the remainder of the week.

While in the west, which will reside on the “other side” of this increasingly common meridional jet stream flow, summer-like warmth will begin creeping in:

Eyeing further ahead still, however, the west’s heat won’t last long — a breakdown is forecast to begin as soon as this weekend, with a return to anomalous cold on course to hit many by Tuesday, June 8:

And a further swing between extremes:

'Extremely rare blooming phenomenon' reported among centuries-old cacti in Arizona desert

Mark Price

Saguaros
© Sonoran Desert Network & Desert Research Learning Center photo

A rare phenomenon is unfolding in Arizona: Saguaros cacti, which live centuries, have erupted in blooms that are spreading across their bodies like a rash.

A hint of crazy things to come may be playing out in the Arizona desert — and it involves a giant species of cactus.

Saguaros, which can live for centuries and grow to nearly 80 feet, have erupted in spring blooms that are spreading far beyond the norm. It's almost as if the plants are breaking out in a rash of blooms.

This is happening in the Sonoran Desert and experts suspect it may be an example of how the warming environment is impacting even the oldest of plants.

Sonoran Desert Network & Desert Research Learning Center
May 26 at 4:19 PM ·

Tucson residents are witnessing an extremely rare phenomenon: saguaro blooms are literally busting out all over. Saguaros typically bloom in spring. And when they do, the blooms are usually confined to a crown at the very top of the main body or mature arms. But after an unseasonal bloom last fall, saguaro flowers are now appearing down the length of main stems and arms, and—remarkably—even on small buds (“nubbins”).

The reasons for all this are unclear, but it’s notable that 2020 brought Tucson its hottest summer and second-driest monsoon on record—leading some longtime observers to hypothesize that the extraordinary bloom is a stress response.

Whether this current reproductive profusion results in widespread saguaro recruitment will depend on what happens next. Early summer rains, followed by a continued cooler and wetter period of a couple of years, is what’s needed to produce a cohort of saguaros. We know this because of programs like Saguaro National Park’s decennial saguaro census, and Sonoran Desert Network vegetation monitoring. Long-term ecological monitoring helps us know what to expect in the future by providing a long-term record of what’s happened under similar conditions in the past.

"Tucson residents are witnessing an extremely rare phenomenon: saguaro blooms are literally busting out all over," the Sonoran Desert Network & Desert Research Learning Center reported May 26 on Facebook.

"Saguaros typically bloom in spring. And when they do, the blooms are usually confined to a crown at the very top of the main body or mature arms," the center wrote. "But after an unseasonal bloom last fall, saguaro flowers are now appearing down the length of main stems and arms, and — remarkably — even on small buds."

The odd behavior takes on added significance given the saguaro's long life span.

"An adult saguaro is generally considered to be about 125 years of age," the National Park Service reports. "The average life span of a saguaro is probably 150-175 years of age. However, biologists believe that some plants may live over 200 years."

Saguaro are considered to be a "symbol of the American west," yet they are rare, NPS officials say. "These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park" near Tuscon.

While beautiful, the flowering phenomenon is foreboding, leaving botanists wondering what will happen next. There has been anecdotal evidence in the past year that other plants are blooming out of season across the country, including prickly pears in Arizona, hyacinth bulbs in Illinois, and aloe vera in Southern California, McClatchy News reported last year.

"The reasons for all this are unclear, but it's notable that 2020 brought Tucson its hottest summer and second-driest monsoon on record — leading some longtime observers to hypothesize that the extraordinary bloom is a stress response," the center wrote.

"Whether this current reproductive profusion results in widespread saguaro recruitment will depend on what happens next."

Intense Cold Grips SE Australia, Topples Multiple Monthly Cold Records + Powerful Antarctic Blast to hit next week - Electroverse

INTENSE COLD GRIPS SE AUSTRALIA, TOPPLES MULTIPLE MONTHLY COLD RECORDS + POWERFUL ANTARCTIC BLAST TO HIT NEXT WEEK
MAY 31, 2021 CAP ALLON

Intense cold is currently engulfing SE Australia as polar air rides unusually-far north on a low solar activity-induced meridional jet stream flow (see links below for more on the mechanisms).

Over the weekend, a myriad of new low temperature records for the month of May were set, most notably at Flinders Island, Lake Victoria and Marrawah.

The extreme fall chill is also proving doggedly persistent, with freezing lows continuing to be logged this morning, Monday, May 31 in Loxton (-3.5C/24.7F) and Lameroo (-1.1C/30F).

Additionally, Melbourne plunged to a low of 1.7C (35F), the capital city’s lowest May reading since 1949.

While the town of Renmark, located in South Australia’s Riverland region, has just suffered its coldest May morning in recorded history when the mercury sank to a truly exceptional five+ degrees Celsius below zero.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) had tweeted a record-breaking low of -4.6C (23.7F) for Renmark airport at 6:10am, but then had to revise it down when the mercury dipped again –to -5.1C (22.8F)— just after 7:00am:

Riverland locals reported frozen-over dog bowls and birdbaths, and frosted-up windscreens and public spaces, notes abc.net.au.

While parts of the Adelaide Hills have also been blanketed by a hard frost Monday morning:

Looking ahead, additional and far more wide-reaching cold looks set to engulf the Aussie continent next week.

According to the latest GFS runs (shown below), frigid Antarctic air will ride anomalously-far north beginning Friday, June 4 which, by June 9, will be delivering temperature departures some 20C below the seasonal average to the majority of Australians:

Additionally, the blast is forecast to deliver record-breaking snowfall to the southeast:


GFS Total Snowfall (cm) June 8 – June 10 [tropicaltidbits.com].

It is getting harder and harder for the politicized ‘catastrophic global heating’ narrative to be maintained.

But as Gustave Le Bo wrote:

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.”


According to the decades of dogmatic proclamations handed down by the AGW cabal, weather-related deaths should be rising exponentially as catastrophic global warming ravages the planet.

However, as with most things “alarmist” the data simply doesn’t bear out the fear-mongering.

Figures compiled by injuryfacts.nsc.org (from data provided by NOAA) reveal that the number of direct and indirect injuries from weather events decreased 49% from 2015 to 2019 in the United States, with the number of direct and indirect weather related deaths decreasing 19% over the same period.

Even more telling, the weather event that caused the most deaths in 2019 was actually “winter weather” which resulted in 144 fatalities (verses just the 83 for heat-related deaths).

Winter weather also accounted for the second-highest number of injuries, at 441, with tornadoes taking the top spot that year with 545 (note, there is no sign of heat-related injuries on the list).

The data only runs through 2019, and it will be interesting to see the impact the intensifying cold blasts of 2020 and 2021 have had.

THE DAY’S OTHER ARTICLE:


The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with the great conjunction, historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Furthermore, we can’t ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

Record cold across Northeast dating back to the 1800s - Ice Age Now

Record cold across Northeast dating back to the 1800s
May 31, 2021 by Robert

Dozens – more likely hundreds – of cold records were broken or shattered on Saturday.

Many locations broke daily low temperature records, while others shattered lowest daily high temperature records.

Some of these records for lowest high temperature dated back to the 1800s.

For some reason unfathomable to me, AccuWeather forces you to muddle through several rambling unimportant paragraphs before you get to the heart of this story, which is:

Record cold across a huge expanse of the northern tier

More than two dozen large cities from Ohio and Kentucky, eastward to southern New England either broke or tied daily records for lowest high temperature on May 29. A few notable cities in this list are New York City and Baltimore.

And who knows how many cold records were broken in the smaller cities and towns?

In addition, record low temperatures were broken or tied across portions of the Great Lakes, Northeast and other areas in the northern tier of the country.

Harrisburg, Reading and Allentown, Pennsylvania, all experienced a 41 degree Fahrenheit difference in high temperatures from Wednesday, May 26, to Saturday, May 29. On Saturday, the temperature in Reading struggled to reach a high of 52, which became the lowest high temperature ever recorded for the city on May 29. It shattered the previous record of 58 from 1996.

Pittsburgh was only able to top out at 51 degrees on Saturday, breaking a record that had stood since the late 1800s. The previous lowest high temperature for the city was 54 degrees, set in 1897. On the other side of the state, Philadelphia broke an even older record with a high temperature of only 54 degrees on Saturday. The previous lowest high temperature for the date was 56 degrees from 1884.

Both Binghamton, New York, and LaGuardia Airport in New York City, tied record lows when temperatures dropped to levels more akin to April than late May.

Adelaide shivers through coldest May morning in almost 100 years - Ice Age Now

Adelaide shivers through coldest May morning in almost 100 years
May 31, 2021 by Robert

For some reason, the adelaide.com headlined that it was the coldest May morning in Melbourne in 70 years. You have to read almost to the bottom of the article before finding that it was the coldest May morning in Adelaide since 1927.
__________

From adelaiade.com

It was a frosty morning across southeast Australia, with many inland places plunging well below zero and Adelaide dipping to 3.5C — the equal coldest May morning since 1927.

Meanwhile, Melbourne shivered through its coldest May morning in more than 70 years, the Bureau of Meteorology said on Sunday.

Temperatures fell to 1.7C, which is the lowest for the city since mid last century.

The BOM posted to Twitter on Sunday saying, “if you are less than 71 years and 364 days old, it is the coldest May Melbourne morning in your lifetime.”

It was the coldest May morning since 1949. But the coldest on record was May 29 in 1916 when temperatures plummeted to -1.1C.

Now remember, this was not just for the date, but for the entire month.

EXCEPTIONAL SNOWFALL –THE BIGGEST IN OVER TWO DECADES– PUMMELS PATAGONIA
JUNE 1, 2021 CAP ALLON

Ushuaia is a city in Argentina. It is located on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the southernmost tip of South America, nicknamed the “End of the World” — for a full week now, historic accumulations of snow have been inundating the city.

The (ongoing) snowstorm delivered more than 50 cm (1.65 ft) of global warming goodness to Ushuaia over the weekend alone, and has dumped over a meter (3.3+ feet) since the storm began around a week ago.

“We have not had a record of such a large snowfall for more than two decades,” said Cristian Elías, the region’s Civil Defense coordinator, and as reported by ambito.com.

“We have not had a record of such a large snowfall for more than two decades.”

“For more than two decades we have not had a record of such a large and prolonged snowfall,” Elías elaborated, who added that if the flurries continue, Ushuaia would be “facing a historical weather phenomenon for the city’s records.”

De acuerdo a las estimaciones meteorológicas
More than a meter (3.3+ feet) of snow has been dumped since the storm began around a week ago.

Unsurprisingly, the sizable drifts have brought parts of Ushuaia to a standstill.

The city’s government has assured its residents that “an immense work to allow passability through the most traveled circuits” is being carried out, but has reiterated a request that citizens avoid venturing out unless absolutely necessary, and that if they do travel they take “the utmost caution.”

Within the framework of the winter operation, the Municipality of Ushuaia, located in Civil Defense, asks the neighbors caution when traveling on the different arteries of the city.

Accompany the snow has been bitingly-cold temperatures.

Out-of-season lows of -9C (15.8F), and beyond, have been observed.

Within the framework of the winter operation, the Municipality of Ushuaia, located in Civil Defense, asks the neighbors caution when traveling on the different arteries of the city.
Residents have been advised not to venture out unless absolutely necessary.

Looking ahead, local meteorologists say the historic snowfall is expected to ease over the next few days.

However, forecasters foresee “a sudden drop in temperature for midweek, estimating that [the temperature] will reach -11C (12.2F)” by the middle of the week.

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA SHIVERS THROUGH COLDEST MAY MORNING IN ALMOST 100 YEARS

Record-busting cold is currently gripping parts of Australia, which, as I reported on yesterday, is only set to intensify over the coming days and weeks.

Melbourne has shivered through its coldest May morning in more than 70 years,” reads the opening paragraph of a recent adelaidenow.com article (which I also reported on yesterday); however, buried within the article, mentioned almost in passing, is that the southeast city of Adelaide matched an even more impressive record.

South Australia’s cosmopolitan coastal capital dipped to bone-chilling low of 3.5C (38F) on Monday morning — the city’s coldest May readings since 1927 (near the end of the Centennial Minimum).


The stark cool down which began in 2016 is global.

Prepare.

COSMIC RAYS, CLOUD SEEDING AND GLOBAL COOLING

Galactic Cosmic Rays are a mixture of high-energy photons and sub-atomic particles accelerated toward Earth by supernova explosions and other violent events in the cosmos. Solar Cosmic Rays are the same, though their source is the Sun.

Cosmic Rays hitting Earth’s atmosphere create aerosols which, in turn, seed clouds (Svensmark, et al).

This makes cosmic rays an important player in our weather and climate.

During Solar Minimum –such as the one we’re just exiting now– the Sun’s magnetic field weakens and the outward pressure of the solar wind decreases.

One of the impacts of such a setup is an influx of Cosmic Rays penetrating our planet’s atmosphere.

Moreover, what we appear to be entering here is actually Grand Solar Minimum (a multidecadal period of consistently low solar output), and if this is indeed the case then Cosmic Rays should be off headed off the charts, which is EXACTLY what researchers are starting to see:



In line with an obvious uptick in localized precipitation, increased cloud cover has another major implication for our climate.

“Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade,” explains Dr. Roy Spencer, “and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming, or global cooling.”

The upshot of our descent into this next Grand Solar Minimum will therefore be a cooling of the planet.

And we’re seeing the affects of this already.

Since the recent super-El Niño peak of 2016, global average temperatures have been nosediving, down some 0.8C from the begging of 2016 to April 2021.

All official datasets have picked up on the stark cooling:



This trend is expected to accelerate over the coming months and years as the Sun continues its relative shutdown.

The Solar Cycle we’re entering now (25) is forecast to be very similar to the historically weak cycle just gone (24); however, SC25 it is expected to be just stop-off on the Sun’s descent into its next full-blown Grand Solar Minimum.

By many accounts, there may not be much of a Solar Cycle 26 to speak of.

This is the approximate time-frame you have to prepare.

That is, if a powerful X-Flare doesn’t hit us first (see article linked below for more on that).

The international Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel said in September 2020 that they expect SC25 to be about as strong as SC24, and the consensus hasn’t changed since then.

“We have not seen anything that differs significantly in the early stages of this cycle that varies from the panel prediction of a peak of 115 [sunspots] in July 2025,” said panel co-chair Doug Biesecker.

There are, however, a few outlying predictions that suggest Solar Cycle 25 will be historically strong.

And while this outcome would delay our descent into a GSM (good news), what it would do is increase the chances of a cataclysmic failure to our modern tech-dependent civilization (bad news) — a large Earth-directed solar outburst (CME) would fry the grid, instantly sending us all back the Stone Age.

It appears we’re in a situation of lose-lose.

Brazil facing worst drought in nearly 100 years as officials issue emergency warning

Brazil suffered a severe drought in 2017 (seen here in the northeastern state of Ceara) that damaged coffee and soy crops and led to energy and water rationing

Brazil's government agencies warned of droughts this week as the country faces its worst dry spell in 91 years, increasing fears of energy rationing, hitting hydroelectric power generation and agriculture while raising the risk of Amazon fires.


Late on Thursday, the Electricity Sector Monitoring Committee (CMSE), which is linked to Brazil's Mines and Energy Ministry, recommended that the water regulator ANA recognize a state of "water scarcity," after a prolonged drought hit Central and Southern parts of Brazil along the Paraná river basin.

Separately, a weather monitoring agency linked to the Agriculture Ministry issued its first "emergency drought alert" for June to September, saying rains are likely to remain scarce in five Brazilian states during that period.

The lack of rain across much of Brazil has negative implications for grain cultivation, livestock and electricity generation, as Brazil relies heavily on hydro dams for its power. The dry weather could lead to severe fires in the Amazon rainforest and Pantanal wetlands, scientists said.

The CMSE said the lack of rain makes it important to relax restrictions on some hydroelectric plants to allow greater energy generation or more storage in certain regions. That will require difficult talks with politicians, the ANA and environmental protection agency Ibama.

"Energy rationing is not envisaged, but if there is no relaxing of restrictions, there is no other way," said a source with knowledge of the situation.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy said on Friday that it has sought to expand the supply of energy in Brazil, but ruled out carrying out an emergency process for hiring new capacity.

"The current situation is challenging," it said in a statement, citing lower than usual reservoirs.

"There is no provision for emergency energy contracting," it added.

Drier-than-normal weather has hurt production of sugar and coffee in Brazil, the world's largest supplier of those products, pushing up futures prices for the commodities.

Coffee futures touched a 4-1/2 year high on Friday with traders worried that critical soil moisture in Minas Gerais could affect the 2022 coffee crop as well.

The Mines and Energy Ministry said dry conditions will persist in coming months, particularly in the Southeast and Center West regions.

702 Texans Died in February's Record-Breaking Freeze, far higher than the State's Official Death Toll of 151 - Electroverse

702 TEXANS DIED IN FEBRUARY’S RECORD-BREAKING FREEZE, FAR HIGHER THAN THE STATE’S OFFICIAL DEATH TOLL OF 151
JUNE 1, 2021 CAP ALLON

[Facebook have permanently blocked me from accessing my old account. If you use the platform, please click here to like/follow my newly created page and help spread the truth]

A recent data analysis performed by BuzzFeed News estimates that there were 702 deaths from Winter Storm Uri in Texas in February, nearly five times higher than the state’s official death toll.

Using excess mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), researchers were able to ascertain that 702 people died from causes likely related to the big freeze, according to an analysis by Buzzfeed News.

The state’s final official tally stands at 151.

The historic cold’s accompanying power outages affected a whopping 69 percent of Texans.

The average length of time without power was 42 hours, according to a University of Houston study — although many homes went for as long as five days.

According to the same study, 4.5 million homes and businesses were without power at the peak of the blackout, with the economic toll expected to be as high as $295 billion.

Half of Texans lost access to water during the event.

Three-quarters of people had difficulty obtaining groceries.

71 percent not being able to access internet service.

While 63 percent even lacked access to bottled water.

Texas death toll from February storm, outages surpasses 100 | WTGS
Official figures drastically underestimate the death toll.

The majority of the official excess deaths were associated with hypothermia. In ordinary terms: “They froze to death, some in their beds, like an 11-year-old boy in Conroe,” reads a guest editorial at dentonrc.com.

Others died of carbon monoxide poisoning after burning all-sorts of outdoor appliances inside, in desperation.

Some perished because of medical equipment failure, such as when their last oxygen tank ran empty.

While others died of fire, as was the case with three children and their grandmother in Sugar Land — all killed in a blaze suspected to have started near the fireplace they had used to keep warm. Their mother, Jackie Nguyen, who had to be physically restrained from going back into the house to save them, described her children as “phenomenal, amazing, little badass humans.”

How to Help Texas During Winter Storm Uri as Grid Power Fails
Texas in the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri.

And as tragically high as the official death toll stands, hundreds upon hundreds of additional excess deaths have gone uncounted by the state.

One such victim was Julius Gonzales, 80, a retired maintenance worker.

Gonzales was on dialysis and, following the loss of power at the clinic that provided his care, he was forced to endure freezing temperatures in his trailer home in the low 20s Fahrenheit, where he passed away.

His official death certificate merely states cardiovascular disease as the cause of death, but his wife Mary believes otherwise, telling BuzzFeed News, “I believe the cold made him to where his heart just gave out.”

Another uncounted victim, Gerald Herring, 70, an Army veteran living in Sugar Land who had undergone surgery for a torn heart valve a few years ago, became unresponsive and died not long after his home lost power.

Herring’s passing was officially listed as a natural death attributed to cardiovascular disease caused by high blood pressure and narrowed arteries; however, his sons believe the cold was the ultimate catalyst, stating it “wouldn’t have happened that day” had the power not been out.


COLD-WEATHER ACCOUNTS FOR 94% OF TEMPERATURE-RELATED DEATHS

A 2020 study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago reveals that it is the COLD which should concern us, not the heat.

The study’s summary/abstract opens by dutifully laying out the AGW Party line (well how else would it have gotten published in the journal Environmental Research), but then attaches the hard-facts at the end:

“With the number of extreme weather days rising around the globe in recent years due to global warming, it is no surprise that there has been an upward trend in hospital visits and admissions for injuries caused by high heat over the last several years. But cold temperatures are responsible for almost all temperature-related deaths.”

According to the study, which looked at hospital visits in Illinois between 2011 and 2018, “the crude annual inpatient admission incidence rate was more than four-fold higher for cold injuries compared to heat injuries (10.2 vs 2.4 per 100,000 people),” and, crucially, patients who died because of cold temperatures were responsible for 94 percent of temperature-related deaths.

The paper, in its desperate attempt to get published, crowbars in the claim that, “With the decrease in the number of cold weather days over the last several decades, we still see more deaths due to cold weather as opposed to hot weather” — but this assertion isn’t backed up by any facts.

In fact, when the researchers looked at inpatient and outpatient heat- and cold-related injuries that required a hospital visit, they identified 23,834 cold-related cases and 24,233 heat-related cases –so roughly 50-50– and among these patients, there were 1,935 cold-related deaths and just 70 heat-related deaths.

We humans have become obsessed with demonizing heat, but this stance makes no sense.

History shows us periods of warmth should be embraced for they bring about great advances to the civilzation of the time. And today, these past few decades of stable warmth have unquestionably assisted in our own modern technical advancements.

EVERY great civilization has risen and thrived during times of consistent heat. It is the times of COLD which have been the catalyst for ancient political turmoils and societal collapses:



“Currently, the public health community focuses almost exclusively on heat injury,” said Lee Friedman, associate professor and corresponding author on the paper, who concluded: “Our data demonstrate that improved awareness and education are needed around the risk for cold injuries.”


The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with the great conjunction, historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Furthermore, we can’t ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

RARE “LEVEL 5” SNOWFALL WARNING ISSUED IN SOUTH AFRICA: “THIS COULD BE LIFE-THREATENING”
JUNE 2, 2021 CAP ALLON

TheSouthAfrican.com describes a Level 5 snow warning as “something of a collector’s item in South Africa” — yet a number of districts are now on “high alert” for June 2.

A powerful Antarctic front has nestled itself within the central interior of southern Africa, with exceptionally cold conditions on the way for South Africa.

Through Wednesday, June 2 an incredibly rare “Level 5 snow warning” will be in place for multiple regions.

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) made the announcement on their social media pages Tuesday afternoon, adding that “a very cold” night ahead was in store for many.

View: https://twitter.com/SAWeatherServic/status/1399567521183830016

View: https://twitter.com/AlgoaFMNews/status/1399656409583833088

A “Level 5 Alert” has been implemented across four districts, due to the increasing threat of disruptive snowfall — these are Senqu / Barkly East, Elundini and Maclear, Matatiele, and Sakhisizwe / Elliot.

Mountain passes along the Drakensberg Range are expected to be closed ahead of schedule, and drivers are asked to make alternative plans, reports TheSouthAfrican.com

According to SAWS, there’s a high chance this snowfall could be significant, and even “life-threatening.”

In a statement issued earlier, the weather agency warned farmers and drivers of the early-season and potentially record-breaking conditions:

“There is a likelihood of a significant impact to occur due to the accumulation of snow combined with extremely cold weather which may include the following: Danger to life and property due to hypothermia and the collapsing of infrastructure, widespread loss of livestock and crops, closure of all major routes.

“Melting snow towards the end of the period will cause small streams and rivers in the low-lying areas to flood. Freezing overnight temperatures will cause water to freeze on road surfaces resulting in extremely hazardous driving conditions.”


The below GFS run reveals the inbound shot of polar cold.

Temperature departures are forecast to sink some 12C below the seasonal norm.

These latest flurries are coming off the back of the historically early flakes witnessed in late April.

As reported on May 1, the enclaved Southern African nation of Lesotho was blanketed in early-season snow on Friday, April 30, after the Mountain Kingdom experienced “something of a blizzard.”

This season looks set to be another doozy in SA, following what was an exceptionally cold and snowy winter season in 2020 when the sugarcane froze solid:


The recent forecast also comes after SAWS released its long-range winter weather outlook.

According to the report, a “colder-than-average winter” is in store for Gauteng and eastern parts, with “maximum temperatures expected to be below normal compared with recent years”, said SA meteorologist Vanetia Phakula.

And finally, with cold weather in SA comes the inevitable threat of power outages.

South African state power utility Eskom may look to implement planned power cuts as chilly conditions lead to a spike in demand.

Eskom’s struggles to power the African continents most industrialized nation are one of the main obstacles to economic growth.

The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with the great conjunction, historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Furthermore, we can’t ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

Delhi, India suffers its Coldest June Temperature Ever Recorded - Electroverse

DELHI, INDIA SUFFERS ITS COLDEST JUNE TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED
JUNE 2, 2021 CAP ALLON

India has been breaking low temperature records left, right and center this year; in fact, since August, 2020 the nation’s capital, Delhi has busted at least one major weather record each and every month.

Predictably, the climate alarmists of the world are keen to blame this feat on ‘global heating’ and ‘rising atmospheric CO2 levels,’ even though the majority of the fallen benchmarks have been cold-related.

In October last year, Delhi broke a 58-year-old record, clocking a mean minimum temperature of 17.2C (63F):


November broke an even older record, with the month’s mean minimum temperature dropping to 10.2C (50F), a level last seen in 1949:


December witnessed 8 so-called ‘cold wave days,’ the highest since 1965.

The final month of 2020 also went down as the second-coldest since 1901, and contained its coldest December day since records began more than a century ago:


New cold records have been set throughout 2021 and across India, too.

In January, record snowfall cut-off Kashmir from the rest of the country:


And just last month, Delhi experienced its coldest May day in 70 years, when a high of just 23.8C (74.8F) was registered on May 19 — a reading that went down as the city’s coldest May day since 1951, and one some 16C below the seasonal average:


Then, to close the month of May, rare and heavy snowfall was reported in Kashmir, northern India:


And now, the historic chill is persisting into June.

With a reading of 17.9C (64.2F) on Tuesday, Delhi has just logged its lowest minimum temperature in June in recorded history, and extended the record-setting streak of toppling monthly weather records.

According to data from India’s Meteorological Department (IMD), the previous lowest minimum temperature recorded in Delhi in June was the 18C (64F) set on June 17, 2006.

Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD’s regional weather forecasting center, said that the extreme cold weather records of recent months were due to fewer western disturbances passing over Delhi.

“Last winter, we recorded lower than usual temperatures because of fewer western disturbance activities in the region.

Usually, in the months of October, November, December and January, we get around five to six active western disturbances each month — last year we only got two to three,” Srivastava said.



There is no logical connection between India’s record-breaking chills and CO2 emissions, yet that doesn’t stop the country’s institutions from trying to draw one.

AP Dimri, from the School of Environmental Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University, claims these fallen records are signs of the ‘climate’ crisis at play:

“Imagine your free atmosphere as a sponge that soaks up water,” says Dimri: “In an ideal situation, it will release water uniformly when its capacity is saturated. Under the impact of global warming, pressure is created at one point, which causes extreme weather conditions in one area; exactly like a sponge would squeeze out water under pressure. This month is a typical example of how weather patterns are changing. Delhi in May usually records at least a few days of temperatures reaching 40 degrees or above, but this time except the temperature did not spiked.”

Again, we have another example of a supposed academic blaming record cold on global warming.

The narrative must be maintained, and all logic and real-world observations will be distorted to fit the agenda.

There is grand fraud at play.

Today’s ‘pop-scientists’ are basing all their assumptions on failed climate models created decades ago.

But as distinguished climate scientist Dr. Mototaka Nakamura eloquently points out, in his book The Global Warming Hypothesis is an Unproven Hypothesis: Today’s ‘global warming science’ is akin to an upside down pyramid which is built on the work of a few climate modelers. These AGW pioneers claim to have demonstrated human-derived CO2 emissions as the cause of recently rising temperatures and have then simply projected that warming forward. Every climate researcher thereafter has taken the results of these original models as a given, and we’re even at the stage now where merely testing their validity is regarded as heresy.

I don't have a clue! I haven't watched much of IAF since he focused more on deep-state kind of things and less on actual GSM issues. I do check him at least once a day, though, for any GSM updates. I'd bet Martinhouse has a pretty good idea. Hopefully she'll chime in with her thoughts.

TxGal, I think that what you said about IAF focusing more on Deep State issues is pretty much the reason Diamond doesn't like him now. I haven't listened to this latest Oppenheimer Ranch video yet, but there was one a while back where Diamond made a nasty comment about IAF that kind of put a dent in the respect I'd been growing for Diamond in spite of his tendency to come across as a "performing pothead".

Added at 1:15 PM.....

Just listened to the latest of Oppenheimer Ranch project.....yeah, Diamond was pretty ugly this time. These are stressful times, but why does it seem that so many take out their stress on other people? I would think that he, of all people, should not be casting stones.

I have to agree, that was really uncalled for and doesn't help anyone at all. I had a hard enough time with his habit of yelling, etc.

That's too bad, because at times Diamond does have good info. I really hope IAF comes back to the GSM material, I love his speaking voice....as bad as the news was at times, his voice is rather soothing.

Coldest "Summer" Weekend on Record in Atlantic City - Electroverse

Extreme Weather GSM
COLDEST “SUMMER” WEEKEND ON RECORD IN ATLANTIC CITY
JUNE 2, 2021 CAP ALLON

Southeastern New Jersey shivered through record cold temperatures over the Memorial Day weekend, with Atlantic City International Airport logging its lowest maximum temperatures ever recorded for the day on both Saturday and Sunday.

As reported by pressofatlanticcity.com, the airport’s March-like highs of 54 degrees during the “unofficial start of summer” were the coldest on record in weather books dating back to 1943.

The S. Farley Marina in Atlantic City observed daytime highs of just 56 degrees on Saturday AND Sunday.

Sunday also setting a new minimum benchmark, with record-keeping at the marina stretching back to 1874.

Millville also broke a record low-max temp on Sunday — the thermometer climbed to just 52 degrees.

Based on research by The Press of Atlantic City, it was the chilliest Saturday and Sunday weekend during the “summer” season — which ranges from the Friday before the earliest possible Memorial Day, May 22, to the latest possible Labor Day, September 7, for A.C. Airport and Millville.



Across the United States, the year-to-date has delivered a total of 19,510 new daily COLD records vs just the 15,291 for record HEAT — and his is according to warm-mongers NOAA, with their history of data-tampering.

Furthermore, a total of 921 monthly COLD records have tumbled vs only 365 for HEAT.

And even more tellingly, a whopping 222 all-time COLD records have fallen this year vs just the 1 for WARMTH.

The slight warming observed over the past few decades can be attributed to high solar activity.

In recent years though, solar activity has been dropping off a cliff (relatively), and now, after a decade-or-so lag-time, global temperatures are responding.

All official datasets are picking up on the stark cooling observed since 2016, because unlike the AGW theory, this isn’t fantasy, and we can confidently use real-world observations to support a cooling planet — there are no embarrassing, illogical explain-aways necessary.

Trends change (sorry IPCC).

Climate is cyclic, never linear (find another hobby horse, Greta).

And it is now becoming harder and harder for government agencies to hide/explain the intensifying global cool down. The likes of NOAA and NASA have thrown all the data-fudging, UHI-ignoring, cherry-picking tricks they have at it, yet their global temperature datasets still reveal stark COOLING.

The two charts below show the calculated linear annual global temperature trend for the last 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70 or 100 year periods, courtesy of climate4you.com.

The first chart shows the satellite temperature trends for the top-cited UAH and RSS datasets:


Diagram showing the latest 5, 10, 20 and 30 yr linear annual global temperature trend, calculated as the slope of the linear regression line through the data points, for two satellite-based temperature estimates (UAH MSU and RSS MSU). Last month included in analysis: January 2021.

The second chart shows the surface temperature record for the GISS, NCDC, and HadCRUT4:


Diagram showing the latest 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70 and 100 yr linear annual global temperature trend, calculated as the slope of the linear regression line through the data points, for three surface-based temperature estimates (HadCRUT4 and GISS + NCDC). Last month included in analysis: January 2021.

Note the stark cooling trend observed by all five datasets over the past five years.

Note also the difference between satellite- and surface-based temperatures, with the more reliable satellites indicating a larger temperature drop.

The chart below shows the trend calculated for the past 5 years:



Clear to see is that Earth’s average temp has been nosediving these past few months.

Neither here nor there.
I posted this in the Unexplained EQ threads for May and June yesterday. The really weird part was yesterday it was partly cloudy here and sorta warmish out, when the dog walker arrived to walk Jr at 8pm she said that she had been getting severe weather alerts on her phone to cover up from the Suns rays, this at 8pm! It was coolish out last night, not to bad but not enough to cover up from the Sun.


Internet is sketchy here today, local tv stations are spotty at best and we have great local reception, and I'm seeing lots of people on FB complaining about migraines and being dizzy today.

it comes down to views and YT channels being monetized, I haven't watched the latest videos but from the conversation here I'd say it comes down to a toxically competitive personality. I've seen this with some of the homesteading channels of late as well, the veil is thinning and a lot of folks are letting their nasty out and into public view, ultimately it will destroy their channel.

If everyone is getting convinced that a Little Ice Age is coming and that there will be a Grand Solar Minimum then what is the place of the true Ice Age in this reasoning? There is the argument promoted by Rolf Witzschke that the bottom of the Grand Solar Minimum is not really there. The temperature will just drop through that nonexistent minimum and continue on down into a full blown Ice Age.

His reasoning is based on the Electrical Universe theory arguing that the sun is powered not by nuclear fusion but by vast electrical currents mediated by plasma streams which stretch through the stars of the galaxy and to the planets. These plasma stream’s intensity is cyclical with different periods resulting in the various fluctuations in solar output. The cyclical fluctuation relevant to Ice Ages is about 100,000 years in length and we are now dropping into the downside of this cycle. Of course, lesser cycles ride on top of this greater one so the observed cycles of the Little Ice Age are there too. Thus when the lesser cycle of the Little Ice Age stops declining the greater cycle will continue downward carrying the Earth’s temperatures lower.

Lower and lower and lower.

I find the various people who describe the sun’s 12,000 year cycle of mini-novas more believable based on evidence of glassified objects on the moon, and the kind of disaster necessary to evaporate enough of the oceans suddenly to create a 400’ drop in ocean levels While simultaneously putting enough moisture into the upper atmosphere which then comes down as snow and ice to bury entire continents in snow suddenly.

16.4 Feet (5 meters) of Early-Season Snow Buries Mt Hutt, New Zealand - Electroverse

16.4 FEET (5 METERS) OF EARLY-SEASON SNOW BURIES MT HUTT, NEW ZEALAND
JUNE 3, 2021 CAP ALLON

Just last week, New Zealand was suffering all-time record May COLD — and now, the island is battling record-challenging volumes of early-season SNOW.

June may mark the start of meteorological winter in New Zealand, but the snow received by the higher elevations of the South Island have been something else, described by locals as “phenomenal” and “epic.”

Mount Hutt rises to the west of the Canterbury Plains in the South Island of New Zealand, above the braided upper reaches of the Rakaia River, and 80 kilometres west of Christchurch.

Its summit rises to 7185 feet (2190 metres) above sea level.

As reported by odt.co.nz, the mountain is receiving one-heck of a dumping of fresh, early-season snow and ice this week “as severe weather sweeps across the South Island.”

According to Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie, as much as 16.4 feet (5 metres) of global warming goodness fell at the summit over a 24 hour period, between Monday and Tuesday.

An impressive 20 inches (50cm) even accumulated at the base.

McKenzie said they were having trouble getting to the top of the mountain, and had to take a a helicopter up.
“It was pretty impressive, right up to the top of our big wind fence up there.

“The Hutt is pretty much buried in snow at the summit.”

During the helicopter flight, McKenzie found the snow at the summit to be crusted with ice.

It’s a pretty phenomenal sight at the top of the mountain, he said: “There’s a huge amount of ice growing out from any metal structure, the lift is caked with ice.”

“That ice is up to half a metre thick, may be more, in some places.”

“It’s an amazing scene,” continued McKenzie.

“Huge mounds of snow everywhere. It’s a really strange thing just seeing everything swallowed up by the snow.

“That ice layer needs to be broken up with groomers and we’ll be mobilizing our team pretty shortly to get out there and start preparing trails.”

Richie Owen, Mt Hutt’s sales and marketing coordinator, told 1 NEWS that Mt Hutt can be susceptible to large ice build ups, as it’s so close to the ocean.

“When we expect [an] event like this we have a storm trooper crew that monitor and remain on the mountain,” explained Owen.

“This would include at first light climbing each lift tower with a Yetti stick and bashing the ice off.

“We cannot move the lift until most of the ice is cleared from the towers and pully sheaths.”

Owen says the 16+ feet of pow pow is a great omen for the season ahead.

“This has set us up for an epic start to the season. We anticipate starting the season with all lifts and terrain park offering.”

Mt Hutt’s ski-season is due to begin next week on Friday, June 11.

“We’re still tracking towards that,” said McKenzie.

“It’s an exceptional snow base for us to start off with so we are very happy.”

Of course, the record-challenging accumulations weren’t just confined to Mt Hutt.

A large snow dump actually allowed the Hanmer Springs Ski Area to open its doors to the public.

Hanmer Springs, located on Mount Saint Patrick and which has been run by volunteers from the Amuri Ski Club since 1957, received about 20 inches (50cm) between Sunday and Thursday.

Club president Sarah Sleight said because of the early snowfall and the ideal conditions the club was able to welcome snow enthusiasts back to the mountain on Thursday, June 3.
