All relative

No evidence that yellowstone is anywhere near blowing

Imagine this occurring under one of the ice caps!!!

I attach 2 documents (hopefully!!) One showing the cosmic ray count and what strikes me at present is how high that has remained over the last few years where in the past once minimum has past you see a sharp fall away, and secondly a link to a paper on the thermosphere climate index which shows the ebb and flow of how our thermosphere changes in temperature during solar cycles. Hope these add something to the mix The Chill of Solar Minimum | Spaceweather.com (spaceweatherarchive.com) The Chill of Solar Minimum | Spaceweather.com (spaceweatherarchive.com)

Thanks SqueakheartLW really interesting bit off work. One of the factors for me is the actual intensity of the cycle in that we are more likely to get colder episodes during weak cycles and more so if we have the second weak cycle and much less likely to have cold episodes when we have very active cycles. In your analysis I'm not sure whether you factored in cycle intensity?

Snowing in York this morning Times Square Cams - EarthCam Sorry New York!!!

Mild to cool first half then cold so 3.3c and 107mm

That's because Darren Bett is a warmist!!!

Had a brief half hour of sun this morning in York probably the first in nearly 2 weeks

I would disagree totally with this statement. Not enough is known about the total effect to say because of x y will happen in a few days. It has long been speculated that cosmic rays helps cloud seeding. Increasing cloud cover over time will impact weather patterns again over time it certainly is not an overnight event.

I think this totally ignores other factors other than sunspot numbers. You have to look at total effect whether that is solar wind speed or cosmic ray levels or even the speed of change or not. Many many factors at play so just using sunspot numbers is a falsehood in my opinion

Agree for me winter starts on the 21st

Going early 3.7c and 84mm

so if emmissions are flat where is the increase coming from?

So given the reports findings that CO2 emmissions have been flat for the last 10 years what drives temperature? Or have temperature stabalised too and potentually set to fall?

There are several one that springs to mind is 'Tree's for life' , The Woodland Trust ,Click a tree, and many others

6.9 and 112mm please

This is a lack of understanding of what net zero is. We are off course along way from being a fossil free world as you state simply because so many products as based on 'fossil products'. That does not mean we should aim to do away with fossil products but rather we should aim to be a non burner of fossil products to provide heat and energy. As knocker say's the benefits of less pollution and over reliance on one source should be a driver towards net zero if nothing else. Many on here know my underlying views but that doesn't mean I don't agree with net zero targets and societies will not fall over if it is done properly.

I keep seeing the best analogue, for the present conditions, years are 1962 and 2010 so lets hope

Formal flood maps were first produced by the Environment agancy in 2013 and updated in 2019. For earlier maps you might need to go to drainage boards or water companies. Otherwise its searching flood events rather than risk maps. Hope this is helpful Jon

9.9 and 95mm please

I don't have a problem per se if this improves crop resistance to disease. However I do think this is the thin edge of the wedge and we will see a lot more 'relaxation' of regulation in the name of improving business and no doubt over time weakening safety.

Somehow I don't think we will see 'lamp time for cyclists' again

14c and 66mm please

James Hansen in 1988 predicted temperature increase of between 4-6c by 2010-20. In 2007 American scientist were predicting summer ice free artic by 2013. In 2009 Gore predicted an artic free ice by 2014. In 2013 this had moved to 2015. In 1988 the UN predicted the Maldives would be totally under water by 2018 and James Hansen equally predicted that that parts of New York would be under water by 2019. In all this time CO2 has continued to rise so forgive me for being sceptical about the impact of this gas on our climate.
