The sun is blank–really blank. No sunspots have appeared for the past 33+ days, giving the sun the appearance of a giant orange billiard ball. This is a sign that Solar Minimum is underway. Earlier this year, a panel of experts from NOAA and NASA predicted that the solar cycle would reach its nadir sometime between July 2019 and Sept 2020. The current stretch of spotless suns is consistent with their forecast.
What happens when sunspots vanish? For one thing, solar flares stop happening. No big explosions means no shortwave radio blackouts and fewer geomagnetic storms. Also, the sun dims. Sunspots are sources of extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV). Without sunspots, EUV levels decrease, causing Earth’s upper atmosphere to cool and contract. Satellites and space junk stay in orbit longer as aerodynamic drag subsides.
During this phase of the solar cycle, the solar wind slows and the sun’s magnetic field weakens–shields down! This allows extra cosmic rays from deep space to penetrate the solar system. Indeed, recent high altitude balloon flights show increased radiation in Earth’s atmosphere. Extra cosmic rays can trigger lightning, alter the electro-chemistry of the upper atmosphere, and boost dose rates on commercial airplane flights.
Solar Minimum won’t last forever. Forecasters expect sunspot numbers to increase after 2019-2020, climaxing in a new Solar Maximum around 2023-2026. Meanwhile, stay tuned for more blank suns.
MELBOURNE EXPERIENCES IT’S COLDEST JUNE DAY SINCE 1985 + LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS TUMBLE ACROSS SE AUSTRALIA
Melburnians woke on Sunday morning to a thick blanket of fog engulfing their city, and it hung around all day holding temperatures at record low levels.
SUMMER MEANS WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR THE STATE OF COLORADO — SIMILAR STORY ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
The calendar may have flipped to summer on Friday, but that didn’t stop the NWS having to issue winter weather advisories to portions of Colorado over the weekend, where up to 24 inches of snow accumulated at higher elevations, shutting multiple mountain passes.
The Man That Predicts Weather Better Than ANYONE! — Piers Corbyn
Astrophysicist and meteorologist, Piers Corbyn, has a prediction success rate of roughly 85%…better than any of the “man made” climate change activists and proponents in the field of climate science.
Først sier de isen smelter i rekordfart. Nå viser det seg at den vokser. Da er det dårlige nyheter. Hvorfor?. Det er fordi klimaløgnene avsløres og for klimatulligene er dette dårlig nytt.
Det er ikke grenser for mange penger det brukes hvis du er på den rette siden i klimadebatten. Når de knapt klarer to dager på rad med værvarsel blir 100 dager som et eventyr som ikke er sant.
THE GREAT GLOBAL WARMING SWINDLE – FULL DOCUMENTARY HD.
Verden vil bedras. Det er eneste konklusjonen når dere ser denne vidoen. Her er det forskere og vitenskapsmenn som vet hva de prater om bortsett fra en.
Egentlig ar det snart ingen hensikt å hisse seg opp, selv om klimapolitikken ikke henger på greip. Nå skal alt gå på strøm. Biler, båter, busser, fly osv. Men hvor skal de få nok strøm fra?. Propeller og solcellepaneler vil snø og ise ned. Det blir kaldere og mindre snøsmelting. Da blir det ikke så mye energi igjen. Den vil vi trenge til andre ting. Så hvorfor skal jeg slutte å hisse meg opp?. Svaret er Mini-Istiden. Den vil stoppe det meste av alle planene i løpet av et år. Noen allerede til vinteren som blir den tøffeste i manns minne. Så de får holde på. Klimaløgnene kommer snart til å bli begravd i snøen for alltid. Det som blir mest spennende er hvordan media og presse vil takle det. De har vært med å spre løgnene i over tredve år.
