#physics #weather It has begun. Based on a wing and a prayer, nothing stops people from injecting sulphur into the atmosphere. What could go wrong?

#physics #weather Next year will be very warm according to philosophy. This is nice, the cataclysm will come next year when La Nina shuts off.
**sensitive content** The evil physics states that Newton cannot be denied. The kinetic energy feeding the Pacific Belt is greater than any natural event on Earth. Bad physics -- go to your room. ***

#physics NASA Groupthink video

We all had to see this as nuclear engineers. It's a lesson buried in 'unlearned' history. In summary, all 'scientists' just assumed things, that they knew nothing about. This is true 'scientific consensus'. The poor schnook physics guy was crucified for not laying his body on the shuttle launch rails. That is why I don't recommend physics for anybody. Leads to early death. :)

#weather #physics Power fails at only -44C. This is good physics - copper shrinks in the cold. However, I think they have been deluded by the past warm cycle. They should read Jack London.

#weather #physics The physics of Toronto weather is that it is 'moderated' by the Great Lakes. Thus, we are 'tropical' with a wind chill of -26C. Those of you without lakes might be a tad colder. :) Using 'evil physics' Toronto will hit -30C this year, once the lakes freeze up. This is pipe-freezing weather. :(

#physics NASA doubles down. They are still going with the 'long term trend' which is like saying Bitcoin is still rising. However, they could never say 'it's sinking' because that would hit their popularity. I've always found that if an institution 'can't' say anything, they won't. :)

#physics #weather A blob within a blob. Very interesting weather (an ancient curse). Two ocean plumes have penetrated, and we have an even colder blob cutting into our current one. Get the plastic on those windows!

#weather #physics I've been waiting for this. The extreme cold is 10 times worse because of climate change. They are using the 'dancing jet stream' as the villian. I totally believe that (so the Dr. doesn't get blocked).
If we want to go into physics, you can look up on WikiP that the jet stream is passive to hot and cold zones. It's like a shadow, and cannot move air particles. It is just a continuous roll, like a thunderstorm, except there is a slight vector westward on the descending air. This can be 'sailed' by jet planes. Please don't think about physics, it keeps you up at night.

#physics #weather Western US in a cold-lock, UK has another very persistent cyclone. A cold lock is what happens with Greenland all the time. The cold air is so dense and stationary that the ocean plumes of heat can't penetrate. Never saw it with NA, but you can see all the plumes are bouncing off the coast. Revel in the new experience!

#physics #weather All hopes are on the impossible physics of the ocean currents turning on a dime. When that map starts turning white it's -60C, or something in F.

#physics #weather -- Fickle Finger of Cold heads to Toronto -- My son's flight from Sanfran to Toronto was cancelled, probably stuck in Vancouver. They better get here before this thing does.

#physics Momentum keeps cold water going -- It is universally acknowledged that La Nina must die. All 2023 forecasts incorporate this. However, the kinetic energy involved in this flow probably exceeds all known natural events.

#physics Sodastream -- put in the flavour drops *after* you zap it. Excellent lesson in gas explosion dynamics. 😭

#physics A tale of two graphics. First is the latest from The Guardian, second is my choice of 'all months' from NOAA. Mine makes it look like the temperature is going down. Perhaps it is distorted. Anyway, we have a hypothesis --

" But he added: “For next year our climate model is indicating an end to the three consecutive years with La Nina state, with a return to relative warmer conditions in parts of the tropical Pacific.

“This shift is likely to lead to global temperature in 2023 being warmer than 2022.”

#physics Violent Clear air convection. It's not studied any more, since it can't exist in a greenhouse gas situation.

#physics #australia This doesn't mean anything about future temperature predictions, but it is interesting to note that the tropical belt temperatures are falling faster than any other latitude band. The Pacific continues to take in a lot of cold water and doesn't show any sign of ending the continuous La Nina. If we want to get back to warmth, then this cold feed has to stop. And if Australia wants to dry up a little.

Programming the Game of Earth
#physics #weather #climate
All basic physics action is now in games. Nobody bowls, plays billiards, throws snowballs, etc. It's all noses to the screen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream
The Jet Stream is the biggest physics error in conventional weather forecasting. It is plotted with the particle motions of a river, but the particle motions are circular at a tilt. Jet planes can sail this to get East faster. It's like tacking into the wind in a sailboat. This would be an effect when you let your game run, like explosions.

Fusion still decades away.

Drat, there goes my hope to see it before I kick the can. Totally new physics, they are all happy, when they should be saying - f*ck!
As I have said, we have a severe scaling problem and now we have new physics. :) New physics, like new engineering is not a good thing for commercial power.
