Most interesting is that all these things are interconnected. We as humans don’t seem to like it much when the universe proves it and not we are in charge. The sun is in solar cycle 25 - is actively irradiating the earth. The earth is undergoing a pole shift. The sun, the earth, and we - all of us electromagnetic beings - are affected. An increase in geomagnetic activity - volcanic activity, earthquakes and associated changes are expected. Social instability is yet another factor. Hunga Tonga is a part of all this. Going to be a cold winter.

I ride the global environment like a rollercoaster.

It's going to freeze, It's going to boil.

It's all because man is driving and cooking with oil.

It'll be dry, it'll be wet

It'll be moist, that's the bet.

I roll my eyes and look to the skies.

Seeing clouds and it looks like fun.

I'll let you in on a secret, it's all 'cause of the sun.

Volcanoes don't "necessitate" 15-minute cities.

As a result, this volcanic event was not widely reported on.

July in Ireland was the wettest on record apparently, so I guess that's the luck of the Irish. Tonga rained on them more than the rest of the UK - which was also very wet and cool after they warned us it would be dry and scorching! But of course it's not Tonga, it's the jet stream and 'according to some scientists' the jet stream is not where it should be in summer because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. You can't win with these nutters.

Try living in rainforest country in Far North Queensland, it's been raining where I live for 7 months, almost continuously. Although you can drive a hour or two away and find sunshine. And yes, it's been like this before, even in my lifetime.

Glad you are onto this. Apparently there is also ongoing high levels of underwater thermal venting activity [the earth's core is undergoing a very active period, which is why the magnetic poles seem to have moved more rapidly than before] which is warming the ocean, which is in turn warming the atmosphere. [The density ratio of the water to the air is also about 1000, which means it is very much easier for the sea to transfer heat to the air than for the atmosphere to transfer heat deep into water.]

The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years. And this is not just for Europe, Greenland and North America, yet another red herring that has recently been thrown out by the desperate global warmers. The universality of the Viking and Mediaeval climatic optimums is written about by Kegwin, who wrote in The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years.

Civil Defense Perspectives, Mar. 2007, Vol. 23, #3, p. 1, notes that evidence for this climatic optimum has been found in all but 2 out of 103 locations where it was examined for, including Asia, Africa, South America and the western U.S. The following graph of temperature in the Sargasso Sea tells you all you need to know (note: that big horizontal line running across the page is the 3,000 year average!), Interestingly, the warmer times coincided not only with the best harvests, but also the least amount of major storm activity.

Even Clive Crook, who accepts AGW, says “The closed-mindedness of these supposed men of science, their willingness to go to any lengths to defend a preconceived message, is surprising even to me. The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering.”

[Changes in climate] are driven by that great ball of heat in the sky, which we call ‘the Sun’. A trace gas (CO2) has nothing to do with our climate. If we get further away from the Sun it gets cooler and if we get closer to the Sun it gets warmer. No legislation, from Canberra or from the UN, can change the orbit of the Earth”. - Australian geologist, professor emeritus at the University of Melbourne, Ian Plimer,

The recent World Climate Declaration signed by around 250 university professors, and led by a Nobel physics laureate, noted that models had many shortcomings, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools” This declaration notes that natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming, warming is far slower than predicted, climate policy relies on inadequate models, CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth, global warming has not increased natural disasters, and that climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. Here are all the PhD signatories. In the 2007 Global Warming Petition project 31,487 scientists declared, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing, or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.” Some scientists, fearful of losing their jobs, waited till they retired to speak out.

”We’ve also seen a radical shift away from true environmentalism in favor of a “green” agenda that forces the poor and middle class to lower their standard of living while the wealthy profit. The fact is, the destruction of our environment and the raping of underdeveloped countries for their natural resources was done by the same globalists that now blame all of these problems on the public.” – Dr. Meryl Nass, MD

– Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, http://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/11079 and whose boat I have personally been on in Vancouver Harbour in the 1980s: “I am a skeptic on climate change. I know the climate is changing, and it always has been. I've studied this intensively over many years. I started what I call the Carbon Project here in British Columbia back in 1989 in order to bring everybody together to discuss this subject and figure out the facts behind it. Since then, I have watched as hysteria has grown, as if the whole world is going to come to an end and civilization is going to die because of humans causing this climate change. I don't buy that, and I certainly know we don't have any proof of it. I'm not denying that we might be playing some role, but the natural factors that have always caused climate change have not suddenly disappeared. I'm very skeptical of the alarmist nature of climate campaigning.”

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical (of Al Gore and his gambit).” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

“Inevitably in climate science, when data conflicts with models, a small coterie of scientists can be counted upon to modify the data...That the data should always need correcting to agree with models is totally implausible and indicative of a certain corruption within the climate science community.” Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science, MIT

Dr. John Clauser, the co-winner of the 2022 Nobel Physics prize and one the world’s leading authorities on quantum mechanics, blasted “climate emergency” claims as a “dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.” Clauser, who was also awarded the 2010 Wolf Prize in Physics, the second most prestigious physics award after the Nobel, warns that misguided climate science is a hoax that is being driven by “massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.”

Dr. Norman Fenton Professor Emeritus of Rish, Queen Mary Univ. of London, here, summer 2023, session on Climate Change at the Better Way Conference, Bath, UK, 2023. “The entire mainstream Covid narrative was driven by easily manipulated statistics based on flawed definitions, data and modelling…the same type of data manipulation and flawed modelling has been used for many years to exaggerate the ‘climate crisis, and the impact of humans on it… What has been very effective is the mass censorship of dissenting concerns about the climate narrative and the Covid narrative… the same censorship is being used to shut down evidence about how unnecessary and devastating the net zero 2050 target will be for normal people.”

Claude Allegre, a “founding father of AGW theory,” has now come out against this, stating “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”

“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that carbon dioxide from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. “It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that carbon dioxide, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.”— Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, MIT. Source https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf

Lindzen also wrote “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”

Dr Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the last 50 to 100 years.

Professor Antonino Zichichi, holder of Italy’s highest merit order, the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, which honor was awarded to Zichichi for a lifetime of distinguished scientific work including several discoveries in the field of sub-nuclear physics, in 2019 led a group of 48 Italian science professors in stating that human responsibility for climate change is “unjustifiably exaggerated and catastrophic predictions are not realistic…natural variation explains a substantial part of the global warming observed since 1850.” Similarly, four Italian scientists, including three physics professors, undertook a major review of historical climate trends concluding there is no real data to support any declaration of a “climate emergency…no clear positive trend of extreme events.” (Slay News adds that “Of course, cherry-picking single bad or “extreme” weather events will provide the main propaganda firepower for convincing populations that a globalist de-industrialization must take place within less than 30 years..”

In 2023, leading nuclear physicist Dr. Wallace Manheimer warned that so-called “Net Zero” goals will end modern civilization. The wind/solar combo will fail, cost trillions, trash the environment and “and be entirely unnecessary.” He also noted that CO2, necessary for life, is not “an environmental poison”; rather it is need for photosynthesis and produces oxygen. In fact, C02 is greening the earth.

Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University, ”There isn’t a climate crisis. There will not be a climate crisis. It is utter nonsense.” https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf

Piers Corbin, astrophysicist, founder of Weather Action, 2002 said that current weather patterns have nothing to do with man-made climate change. Instead, Corbin flatly states that those pushing this narrative are just trying to make money. “Climate has always been changing,” and “this has nothing to do with man.” Weather this year is “caused by circulation patterns… and CO2 does not cause circulation patterns. What causes those is a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon” ; the only connection with man is that he is “here at the same time the sun and the moon are doing things. A very similar situation happened about 132 years ago where there was the same sun, magnetic, lunar states (and) there was a heat wave in Russia and floods in Pakistan as now. These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon and nothing to do with mankind. Those who say that are just trying to make money… I assure you, this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide”

“The climate scare (is) the biggest deception in history…”Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba

Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.

“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.

“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.

“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico

“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.

“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.

“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review. (Note: there really IS a Flat Earth Society, at http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/, whose president Daniel Shenton, thinks “the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage is contributing to global warming.” (See www.tinyurl.com/ozn2wfe. So much for Obama’s comment that “We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”

“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.

You give a good summation of top scientists who oppose the climate pseudo-science. Here’s another from 12 years ago, Emeritus Professor of Physics Hal Lewis who said when resigning in disgust from the APS:

“The global warming scam … is the greatest and most successful pseudo-scientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist”.

It’s not about science, it’s about The Science™, just as it was in the Covid plandemic. The climate change agenda is nothing to do with climate just as the Covid measures were nothing to do with public health. It’s all about control and suppression of the global population. I’ve said many times, the globalists driving the climate scam are the same psychopaths who showed their true evil colours when they inflicted their Covid plandemic on humanity.

It's sad that so many people don’t realise how we being horribly abused: https://metatron.substack.com/p/we-are-being-horribly-abused-by-lies.

Yes, I have Lewis, too. I have pages and pages of quotes.

Looks like that "consensus" thing works both ways.

Of course, there is NO consensus, and even if there were, since when has that decided consenus, rather than experimentation and hypothesis testing? Since Galileo? Since Copernicus? Since they drummed Ignaz Semmelweis out of the medical biz in the 1800s for insisting his docs wash their hands between operations?

The politically-correct report makes no mention of possible CO2 emissions from the undersea eruption. I don’t know whether he is correct or not, but geologist Ian Plimer claims that CO2 emissions from undersea volcanoes dwarf man-made CO2 emissions. The ferocity of the “fact-checking” railed against him suggests that he might well be right. After all, we know from the Covid global showdown that atmospheric CO2 levels continued to rise even when man-made CO2 emissions faltered.

Only tangentially related but my attention was piqued when the UCL professor described how her sensitive undersea instruments picked us the sinking of a ship near the Azores. In March 2022 the Felicity Ace was carrying 4,000 cars worth $400 million when a fire broke out and it sank. Most of the MSM reports studiously avoid saying whether any of the cars were electric. Surprisingly, the Guardian gives the game away:

“The ship was transporting electric and non-electric vehicles, according to Portuguese authorities. Suspicion on what started the fire on 16 February has fallen on lithium batteries used in electric vehicles, though authorities say they have no firm evidence about the cause”.

Just last week a ship carrying EVs caught fire in the North Sea. There have probably been many more such incidents which haven’t made the MSM headlines. As Paul Homewood says, this is getting to be a show-stopper for EVs, not just for global mass transport but for everyday ferry journeys. For people living on islands and tourists (I took a one-hour car ferry myself recently) it is getting to be unacceptable to have their ferries loaded with dangerous EVs.

See this shocking video of EV fires from Paul’s recent post on the subject: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=463337322660800.

I saw the report from Paul Homewood last night and watched the FB video. Electric vehicles including scooters should immediately be banned with far too many explosions and deaths as a result of the lithium ion batteries, which they are also using in the back-up battery banks for wind and solar installations.

You'll have to pry my e-bike out of one cold dead hand, and gun from the other.

From my point of view, this is all about quality. There are so many fly by night operations right now making e-mobility vehicles of all kinds.

The battery cells are certainly dangerous. There are huge ranges of quality if you veer off into buying from non reputable suppliers. Then you have to be careful when assembling the cells. Many opportunities for corners to be cut.
