Solar Minimum Madness: Is Thanksgiving's Winter Wonderland A Preview Of Bitterly Cold Winter To Come?
"This week, three major winter storms will batter most of the country with ice, snow and bitterly cold temperatures just in time for Thanksgiving. It is being projected that 55 million Americans will be traveling this week, and so this bizarre weather comes at a very bad time. But of course we have already seen a series of blizzards roar across the nation in recent weeks and hundreds of record cold temperatures have already been shattered and we are still about a month away from the official start of winter. Normally, it isn’t supposed to be this cold or this snowy yet, but we don’t live in “normal” times." What is normal for the weather? What is the normal Earth temperature for November? What evidence do you have for that number? What a bunch of twaddle. Normal does not exist in the weather. The first graph below is the GISP2 ice core data in Greenland. This shows us that temperature is not steady over time. It also shows us that the Earths's temperature has been falling for more than 2,000 years, and we exist at the end of the longest and coldest low-temperature period of the entire Holocene. The second graph shows 415,000 years of ice ages, followed by short interglacial periods where things warm up, and life thrives. Again, there is no such thing as a normal temperature. The third graph shows the average global temperature with a co2 plot for the past 600 million years. Again, there is no normal. While we are not in the coldest period of the last 600 million years, we are near the lowest. If you want to know what happens when CO2 is high, look back to the Cambrian period a bit over 500 million years ago, see the spike in CO2? Life exploded during the Cambrian period, in the seas, on land, everywhere. High CO2 leads to the explosion of life. The reason is simple, CO2 is the fertilizer plants use to grow. The more CO2, the more plants grow, the more plants grow, the more the herbivores can eat, the more the herbivores can eat leads to more herbivores. This, of course, leads to more carnivores and omnivores. None of this is difficult, well, except for the climate alarmist, and for them this level of logic is impossible. "Unless things change, and that is not expected to happen, we should prepare for a very cold and very snowy winter. And this upcoming week is likely to be a preview of coming attractions. According to CNN, holiday travelers will have three major winter storms to deal with… As Thanksgiving week starts, a record number of travelers will be dealing with three storms nationwide that will add to the holiday stress. One storm will lash the East and will affect travel through Sunday, another one will batter the Midwest on Tuesday and a third one will move through the West on Wednesday. Forecasters are telling us that Denver could receive a foot of snow, but it isn’t too unusual for Denver to get a lot of snow. But it is unusual for Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to get snow this time of the year, and apparently it looks like that could happen on Wednesday… By Wednesday Arizona could see snow, as could New Mexico, the northern Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma Panhandle." I would not get all excited about the fact that we are in for Snopacolapyse 2019. Maybe. Maybe not. The weather is fickle. But the sunspot theory is valid and needs to be taken into consideration. The problem is the weather is not a linear algorithm. It is much more difficult than a simple calculation of few sunspots = deep freeze cold. Yes, cold weather is likely over a period where sunspot activity is low, but any particular year within that low sunspot period may be anomalously warm or colder than expected. Our weather gurus cannot forecast the weather accurately for more than a few days to perhaps a week. Forecasting months or years is more in the realm of haruspicy than weather forecasting. But then people pay good money to have someone pretend to be able to divine the weather a few years into the future.
