Must read: Daily Telegraph, Tuesday March 7, 2023: “Do the referendum the right way … or no way.
One enlightening gem: “Consent (should be given before referendum held) is an internationally agreed minimum standard of engagement in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)”.

And people will die from cold without proper power generation that can only come from coal, gas, nuclear and real hydro (not SH2).
The proponents of wind, solar and Big Batteries have either no clue about their uselessness or are wealthy Elites such as senior public serpents, politicians, leaders of the Left or the billionaire subsidy harvesters who can afford power no matter what the cost.

And people will die from cold without proper power generation: Uhuh, and the alternative independent UK tv & radio channels are sponsored by advertising : if not Gold sales, Diesel scandal claims, its ….

I’m sceptical and need convincing.
What are the mechanisms creating this cooling?
Volcanic eruptions edged us into the LIA.

” mechanisms creating this cooling? ”
No idea.
If it coincides with Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter all in Taurus, we still won’t know.
Anyway that’s a few years away.
You’re welcome.

Its not generally known that astrology was once a university course.
‘ … the first universities, in Northern Italy, began to establish chairs for mathematics, which were actually chairs for astrology, because of the demand for astrology for medical students.’

But what I said there was astronomy , not astrology.

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation was fairly negative in the last half of the 19th century, we need to see a repeat of that trend going forward. It was the tail end of the Little Ice Age in Australia.

You’ll get Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus this year, but Saturn has a long way to go to catch up with Uranus.
That will be 2031, but by then Jupiter is half an orbit away..
2106 gives you Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, but Saturn is way off..

Oh well , two out of three ain’t bad. Ideally we’d have all four of the giant planets lined up ; that would really shift the barycentre.

“What are the mechanisms creating this cooling?”
Volcanoes have SFA to do with it. Total energy output from the sun is cyclical. We’ve had our higher energy warm period (roughly 1850 to 2000), now we are entering a cyclical cooler period.
What did you think the last 50 years were all about? The Elites have been trying to cull the herd since the days of Malthus. Now nature is going to do it for them, and they are doing whatever they can to maximise the coming carnage. Did you really think blowing up power stations and building windmills was just a “mistake” by stupid politicians?
We now have two power groups vying for domination – the NATO-aligned Elites who seek mass genocide, and their counterparts in the BRICS aligned countries that derive power from control of their populations.
Once you understand that, everything else becomes clear and simple.

Leaving out the political science, your grasp of atmospheric science leaves a lot to be desired.

Its only weather rather than climate but blizzards ‘sweep’ the UK

Those of us on the South West coast of England are looking in complete bemusement at the chaos up country. We haven’t seen a flake of the snow they have been promising for weeks. Yesterday was a very pleasant 12degrees C. We are getting much needed rain though. Its been a very dry February despite the Met office telling us we would get much wetter winters. The South West is currently ‘in drought’.
BTW the Met Office is on strike

did they declare the last one over when it was in fact a lull between the consecutive La ninas? In other words, being over doesn’t mean we wont soon be back into La nina.
42
Four consecutive La Nina would be unprecedented, so this time around the hot money is on El Nino.
I’ll go back and have a look to see if anyone jumped early and got it wrong.
During this neutral phase I recon you could get 100/1 on a Modoki.

The equatorial current has started to switch to eastward flow and the warm water off Panama is showing low level convergence also eastward; but the warm patch is no longer above 30C. The reversal in currents are indicative of El Nino becoming established.

Then Queensland gets a massive dump of rain from the Gulf. Probably too late for water over Queensland to make a difference this year but if the ground does not dry out completely by October it would make for a weak El Nino.
As I previously wrote, The tug-of-war across the equator will be clearer after April once the solar zenith moves across the equator.
41
‘ … a weak El Nino.’
That appears to be the case, there is still a lot of cold water to be displaced.
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/surface/currents/overlay=sea_surface_temp_anomaly/orthographic=-154.11,-2.17,265
All I can see is La Nina Modoki, warm water in the west and east, and a large pool of cold water in the central Pacific.

Maybe this time.

An astute commenter mentioned (a few days back…) TC Freddy still spinning after 32 days, from off WA on Feb the 6th, right across the Indian Ocean, to where it’s been bouncing back-and-forth in the channel between Mozambique and the island of Madagascar even til today, Friday the 10th of March…
I’ve read nothing more here, heard nothing on Radio Pravda NZ (and they’re EXPERTS™ on climate/cyclone-fear programming), had to go a’looking for news on the Longest Lasting Cyclone EVAAAH!

TropicalAtmos / ACE have tracked ‘Freddy’ from day 1, but meh, too many numbers in columns: I want a map with a ‘trail’ or a ‘places I’ve been’ zig-zag line of where this errant wandering troppo has gone… a freak of nature or Diego Garcia’s latest tech experiment…

WEF Says US Must Implement ‘One Child Policy’ For White Families
The World Economic Forum has announced a controversial new policy that should have everybody who opposes eugenics up in arms.
Klaus Schwab’s WEF is now calling for the US to impose a strict ‘one child policy’ on all white families in an effort to promote diversity, reduce inequality, and usher in a new era of “post-politics” in which nobody in society disagrees on major policy issues.

UK Newspaper Calls For The Arrest Of Covid Lockdown Health Secretary Matt Hancock
The Daily Telegraph issued a headline this week calling the arrest of the disgraced former UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
“Matt Hancock should be arrested for wilful misconduct in public office,” the British newspaper paper wrote, citing the recent leak of over 100,000 private WhatsApp messages revealing the UK government’s Covid discussions.
Today for the first time a major mainstream media (The Telegraph) in a Western country (UK) called for arrest and prosecution of health minister (Matt Hancock) for his Covid crimes.
The first domino has fallen.

A “domino” is also a half mask worn over the eyes with a masquerade costume. Hancock’s mask has slipped.
But being called a “slithy trove”, in a newspaper story suggesting he be dragged before a UK Commons Select Committee on Health Department administrative matters, is no great fall event.

Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, both well known long time American journalists, testified in Congress yesterday.
A Democratic Congressperson declared them “so called Journalists”.
https://nypost.com/2023/03/09/democrats-attack-so-called-in-twitter-files-hearing/
The once heralded liberal political values of the Love, Peace, and Harmony generation in the US are now officially a relic of history.

Another Congresswoman asked the “so called journalists” Taibbi, Shellenberger, and former NYT reporter Bari Weis, if they were in a “threesome”.

Something has been playing on my mind for ages, it is so simple the only reason it hasn’t been spoken of would be that I am wrong, or maybe I’m not.
My understanding [remember I’m a humble tradesman] is that “fossil fuels” were once living vegetation SO if we go back the required millions of years, all the carbon now locked in coal, gas, shale and peat bogs was once atmospheric CO2 BEFORE the vegetation fixed it. Clearly there was so much of CO2 that vegetation boomed and new growth overran the old and thick layers of dead, crushed trees formed thick seams. As I understand it the microbial life needed to break down the cellulose was yet to evolve so it just piled up.
My point is that every C molecule locked up today was once free in the atmosphere. If the Earth didn’t sizzle then when atmospheric CO2 must have been off the scale, why would it do so today?
101
Hmmm. Maybe. Maybe not.
I keep reading about Abiotic Oil. Oil reservoirs that have been shown to refill when left alone for periods of time. Cripes! Renewable oil.
“Proponents of the abiotic theory are not without their evidence, however. These scientists point to the fact that oil reservoirs have been shown to refill when left alone for periods of time, something that does not fit with the biotic theory. They also point to the presence of oil on meteors and other bodies that do not and never have supported life. They also suggest that claims about the chemical nature of oil are spurious because we do not know what processes occur deep in the Earth that may cause oil to look as though it came from an organic source when it did not. It is also true that oil can be produced from inorganic material, lending support to this theory.”
https://www.petroleum.co.uk/abiotic-oil-formation?p=abiotic-oil-formation
The scientific consensus is against it. That’s how science is done these days.
Gaia the maker of oil? Now there’s a slippery slope.

You know the saying, “the Sun shines out of your arse?” Well it’s true ionic nuclear reactions occur in our tummy on Saturn’s moon, in our ionosphere, the Suns surface, inside our planet, etc etc etc.
Our first peak oil scare was just after 1895 were a scientific consensus agreed oil came from dinosaur juice.

petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.
