#weather **Toronto snow** Still very heavy snow. The Pacific patterns are completely changed, so I don't know if we'll keep having this.
#physics #weather **Tide trends finally updated** I was giving up on this. You can tell the temperature of the oceans by looking at the small signals of the tide gauge. This one is Astoria, which is the only one I have found which is steady with regard to the distance to the centre of the earth. All other places are either sinking or rising.
This month has a sharp drop down, which reflects world temperatures, all controlled by the oceans. The Great Canard is noaa's contention that sea levels are rising. Bull-crap! The only places where local sea level is rising are carefully chosen sites where there is coastal sinking, due to tectonic forces. The Pacific islands are either active and rising (lots of volcanism) or sinking, and forming coral atolls. I'm going to visit there soon. Good snorkeling means sinking.
#physics #weather **NOAA US temp plot** On this plot they just do the month. This is reasonable because of the seasons. They then go on to do it for the world, which is not reasonable -- part of the Great Fantasy, or groupthink.
I laugh at their PR department who must make this appear to support climate change. They do that by constantly changing the semantics. For a long time, they could always say 'Hottest Ever', and now, during our ice cycle, they had a succession of '2nd hottest, 3rd hottest', etc, every year. When they got to 10, they changed to 'top third'
This month is so beyond that, they normally don't say anything. I don't even think it's 'top half'.
Like a Ponzi scheme, the great fantasy is supported by circular arguments. Lay down a supposition that co2 affects the weather, then produce models that incorporate this, to 'prove' it. Only look at things which support it, only do headlines for the fewer and fewer heat waves in the world. And so on. It's great, and I fully support it!! No denial here....
#physics #weather **North America has default weather** It's important to understand this concept: When there are no major ocean breezes, we are in 'default' mode, which is dry weather, the temperature depending on latitude. In the summer, this is hot, dry weather, and we'll get a lot of short heatwaves this summer. That will be sufficient to keep up the Great Fantasy.
Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.
