LOL. The 'climate crisis'/man-made Thermageddon obsessed Guardian is having to report on severe cold in Russia and China and in the US due to blocking high pressure, which, though they don't say it, is directly related to the quite extreme meridional northern hemisphere jet stream configuration we're currently seeing. They're also having to admit that the useless 'renewables' which they have consistently championed as the 'solution' to that alleged 'climate crisis' are not going to meet energy demand in Europe.
"A large area of high pressure covering the whole of eastern Europe is bringing severely low temperatures across Siberia. In a part of the world where temperatures are often below freezing at this time of year, the mercury has been 20C to 25C below average in areas over the weekend, with central and eastern Russia experiencing temperatures widely of -25C to -45C.
Incredibly, by Wednesday, the huge area of high pressure affecting Russia and China will stretch all the way into the UK with an easterly wind sweeping cold air westwards across Europe. Away from Russia, there will also be a lot of cloud within this easterly flow across much of Europe. While demand for energy will increase because of the low temperatures, the low amounts of sunshine, below average wind and reduced precipitation mean that energy produced by renewable sources will be well below normal.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, central and western parts of the US another cold plunge is expected at the start of this week as cold air dives south from Canada once again as an area of low pressure tracks north-east. However, warm, moist air will be drawn up from the Gulf of Mexico on the eastern flank of the low pressure, bringing a risk of severe thunderstorms and potentially tornadoes to several southern states on Tuesday, especially Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. As the low pressure continues to track north-east through the week, colder air will eventually affect eastern parts of the US as well."
They absolutely will do this. Expect another round of 'global warming causes extreme cold' to start rolling out in the press soon. They'll say Arctic warming is responsible for 'jet stream weirding', forgetting that Arctic warming is CAUSED by jet stream weirding (warm moist air ingress in winter/blocking highs leading to solar induced ice melt in high summer). They are desperate morons.
I'm sceptical of the geo-engineering claims. They absolutely are mad enough to TRY these techniques, but the 'chemtrail' theory just doesn't sit comfortably with me, because the evidence for the claims is lacking. Also, for the same reasons I'm sceptical that GHGs are causing 'catastrophic' warming, I just don't believe a bunch of mad scientists in collusion with billionaire philanthropists and various governments could actually interfere so radically and significantly with our weather and climate. But I've learnt not to dismiss any 'tin foil hat conspiracy theory', no matter how far fetched it may seem. As I say though, there's a lack of hard evidence, especially for an intentional globally coordinated 'chemtrail' solar dimming operation.
We had this in midwinter 2010 with a blocking high stuck over Europe for about a month, freezing temperatures and no wind or solar. It didn’t impact on the grid then because the reliance on wind and solar at that time was so low. This time will be very different.
Amazing fact: December 2010 was the second coldest December in Central England since 1659. Just one year was colder - 1890. But it was just for a month thankfully.
On a cold winter's day under an anticyclone with light winds, the folly of the green zealotry becomes clearer. If snow falls and we remain under an E/NE flow the grid will be teetering on collapse. Also to compound matters, it quite possible that what is leading to this set up will cycle round to repeat later in the month and into Jan. Add an ssw and it could be a real Winter of Discontent.

Thank you for reading the Guardian so I don’t have to
The Green commies will still blame it on CO2. It is their religion, and source of social control

This is what Geo-engineering looks like.

Fascinating. Is there an easy link to get up to speed on the jet stream in general and also how to interpret these charts?
Here's the website I use for jet stream forecasts and maps.
