(Note, the following is fiction) When the Climate Change fad peeters out, then I publish my 'Rise and Fall of Climate Change' history book. Not now, of course, because the mob will burn it. I blame mostly the UK for starting it, and NASA for cementing it. But UK weather is fun right now, and I like viewing Scottish webcams for their skiing. Apparently, right now, the wind and snow will blow little kids right off the chairlift. You can't buy fictional amusement like this.
Fatuous statement from Russia. Or irony. For years, the West relied on nuclear bombs to stop Russia. Then Poots said "Ha, ha, we can invade any country we want because we'll commit global suicide if you try to stop us. We're crazier than Trump! Thus, the nuclear deterrent became an offensive weapon. The West called their bluff with conventional weapons to test in Ukraine. This has caused an incredible innovation 'rush' in these weapons. Poor Russia is left buying garbage from Iran, with smuggled parts from Canada. Yeah! Hope we make a lot of money on that. :)
#physics #weather Heavy rain right after freeze. This is the Toronto forecast. We are maximum frost depth now, maybe. I had to take in my water jugs in the garage. My microgreens have stopped growing, with heat. We are talking about record flooding, maybe. If you want to get absurdly complex then this is all due to a dancing jet stream, which has no physics. If you want The Razor, then it's ocean currents.
#physics Spirograph in biology. You can't beat this for a holiday post.
The first stage of 'negotiation' is a male pissing contest. Without emotions, I think Ukraine should lease some land like the old Hong Kong thing. They bring in Nato, like they have already without jets (who needs them?) and the leases are 'no combatant' zones. The US increases the range of the himars to 150km. Neato.
#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. ***
Norad does a fine job tracking Santa -- Sometime around 1979, our rock mechanics graduate students visited the Norad facilities to look at the rock. Norad is located deep underground at an undisclosed location somewhere in Canada. :)
The great thing was that they were terrified of replacing their tube computers, with something using transistors. There were two computers, each taking up the space of a huge room. Everyday, the technicians would switch and over-volt one. Tubes that blew out would be replaced. The remaining tubes would last a whole day. The replacement standing in the wings was the size of a washing machine.
#weather Good Morning Toronto -- Merry Christmas. Today we wake up to a marginal white Christmas. Should be 2cm on the ground, but we're at 1.9. The radar shows that any second now, we'll top the requirement. :)
Epilogue - Sadly, the schnook died a homeless pauper, begging for coins from BMW's. The root cause was demonstrated to the influencers by the Great Feynman who dipped an o-ring into his Scotch on the Rocks. They raised their eyebrows and immediately flipped to the 'Stupidity Defense'. "Why did we not know about this?" He died shortly after, being smashed by a selfie death off a cliff. :(

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. :)
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.
