Strong high pressure causes hand ringing.
‘So far, May 2023 has produced below normal zonal and meridional wind speeds across the U.S. particularly across most of the SPP and ERCOT regions of the Central U.S. Causal to the lack of wind is a large area of high pressure over Western Canada extending to the Great Plains and generally weak low pressure in the far southern States to the East Coast.’ (Climate Impact Company)

Hand wringing by who? The same people who are watching the heatwave in Asia?

“the lack of wind”
Gee… see if you can guess !

Its the blocking high pressure, extreme heatwaves and cold air outbreaks caused by meandering jet streams.
Blocking is bad news for wind farms.
On a slightly different matter, Chris Gillham’s chart shows a cooling trend over Australia.

“Chris Gillham’s chart shows a cooling trend over Australia.”
..as almost anyone who lives here could tell you… Officially its heating rapidly, but no-one in their right mind believes the officials!
140
There’ll be hand-wringing & clothes-wringing & mud-mopping here in the next week as our resident stationary high-pressure sets up shop again, stalling lows in the Tasman, providing cool south winds for Aus and warm north winds for us: snow for you, rain for us, again.
Despite climate bedwetters shouting ‘STOP IT NOW’, the weather just keeps on rolling…

That blocking high will increase in pressure as it moves east of NZ, interesting to see if a marine heatwave develops.

Australian Senate votes NO to investigating excess deaths.
In one of the most grotesque votes ever taken in the Australian Senate, a majority of Senators voted NOT TO INVESTIGATE THE UNEXPLAINED NON-COVID EXCESS DEATHS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE COVID-19 “VACCINES”. This is horrifying and terrifying.
If there was any doubt whatsoever that our government is wilfully blind to the death and destruction they have caused…….this is it. The vaccine linked deaths amount to a 737 planeload of passengers unexpectedly falling from the sky every week since January 2021 and our government is not even curious as to why.

British Gov’t Launch ‘Urgent Enquiry’ Into ‘Millions of Excess Deaths’ Following Jab Rollout
According to newly released government data, excess deaths in the last few months were higher than than the whole of 2021 – 67,724 vs 54,770 above the pre-pandemic five-year average – and just a quarter were from Covid.
Unexpected deaths are more than 10% higher than the pre-Covid average, with experts warning we are facing “a catastrophe of equal proportion to the pandemic itself”.
They are calling for an urgent investigation into the causes, with figures showing that there were more excess – or unexpected – losses last year than in 2021.

Dr. Bhakdi found not guilty
I am of the opinion Dr Bhakdi at great peril to his life and career has saved many with his warnings.
You probably cannot blame the Senate based on the information they receive.
Obvious the excess mortality parallels the vaccinations if you look at the graph of deaths. The problem is the actual data is a moving target made murky by continual reinterpretation.
Are these new categories due to long Covid in late 2021 2022 as their was a lower than expected death rate due to ‘short Covid’ in 2020. Even the Wuhan epicentre closed its emergency hospitals after a few weeks.
70
Where I live our public health authorities routinely tell us that 90% of our Covid deaths have been people with two or more Covid shots. Our journalists don’t question it. And even though our health care system is understaffed, they refuse to rehire the 35 nurses and 10 physicians who did.

A Paralyzed Man Can Walk Naturally Again With Brain and Spine Implants
Gert-Jan Oskam was living in China in 2011 when he was in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed from the hips down. Now, with a combination of devices, scientists have given him control over his lower body again.
“For 12 years I’ve been trying to get back my feet,” Mr. Oskam said in a press briefing on Tuesday. “Now I have learned how to walk normal, natural.”
In a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers in Switzerland described implants that provided a “digital bridge” between Mr. Oskam’s brain and his spinal cord, bypassing injured sections. The discovery allowed Mr. Oskam, 40, to stand, walk and ascend a steep ramp with only the assistance of a walker. More than a year after the implant was inserted, he has retained these abilities and has actually showed signs of neurological recovery, walking with crutches even when the implant was switched off.
“We’ve captured the thoughts of Gert-Jan, and translated these thoughts into a stimulation of the spinal cord to re-establish voluntary movement,” Grégoire Courtine, a spinal cord specialist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, who helped lead the research, said at the press briefing.

Thou shall not eat meat, as is written in the good book of PETA
PETA Goes Biblical With ChatGPT Vegan Rewrite of the Book of Genesis.
In the beginning, all animals were treated with respect, according to PETA, which has given the Bible’s Book of Genesis a modern makeover using ChatGPT to send a can’t-be-missed animal rights message filled with vegan teachings. PETA hopes the new, cruelty-free Story of Creation will appeal to Generation Z, 73% of whom identify as animal rights activists.
In THE BOOK: PETA’s Version of the Creation Story, animals are referred to as “beings” rather than “beasts” or “creatures”—and plant fibers, like hemp and bamboo, are used in place of animal skins for clothing, as no one with any fashion or moral sense would wear animal skins in the 21st century. Among other new interpretations, in Genesis Chapter 22, Abraham travels to the land of Moriah and befriends a gentle lamb to show his reverence and respect for God’s creation, rather than slaughtering a ram to demonstrate his faith—much as human sacrifice, once a reality, is now outlawed all over the world.
“The Bible has long been used to justify all forms of oppression, so we’ve used ChatGPT to make it clear that a loving God would never endorse exploitation of or cruelty to animals,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “It took God only six days to create the entire world, but we realized it would take us years to rewrite the whole Bible, which is why we’ve started with just the first book.”

The Hunga Tonga equatorial ionospheric plasma bubble
An international team of scientists revealed that the massive eruption of the underwater Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga on January 15, 2022, disrupted satellite signals across the globe. The team used satellite- and ground-based ionospheric observations to demonstrate that an air pressure wave triggered by the volcanic eruption could produce an equatorial plasma bubble in the ionosphere, severely affecting satellite-based communications.
The group also made a surprising discovery. For the first time, they showed that ionospheric fluctuations start a few minutes to a few hours earlier than the atmospheric pressure waves involved in the generation of plasma bubbles. This suggests that the long-held model of geosphere-atmosphere-cosmosphere coupling, which states that ionospheric disturbances only happen after the eruption, needs revision.

The NEM continues to exhibit increasing instability.
NSW region wholesale price went above $14,000/MWh in both evening and morning peaks. The notices indicate the market is hitting a financial constraint between NSW and Vic rather than real constraint but there are still actual lack of reserve situations in NSW.
Price for 1730 today and for the peak in NSW still stuck up at the limit of $15,500/MWh.
Must be getting colder in Sydney because peak demand in NSW tomorrow evening now at 11GW.
Still early days post Liddell and remains interesting times for the increasingly weather dependent grid.

NSW region wholesale price has hit $13,571?MWh:

Was in a market where they were handing out jams for free. The woman behind the counter expained to the person in front of me that it was because the stock was mis-labelled as May 32. When I got there I hadn’t known this so she gave me 3 and said there were popular. When I asked about the May 32 date she said “that’s the date when our electricity rebate arrive”. This was just after the price rise was announced.
If I were the Liberal publicity I would get repeating Albo claiming that everybody would get $274 electricity reduct if Labor were elected.

Albo’s gloss is wearing off. Peter Dutton just needs to let the lunacy play out.
The electricity price crisis could be resolved in 2 seconds. Just declare to end the mandated theft. If weather dependent generators cannot exist without the theft from consumers after more than decade, it is time to kill the concept.

There may have been some demand side intervention in NSW around 1800hrs. The demand dropped 300MW in a single step.

Per AEMO, NSW average spot price for May $194/MWh, in April before Liddell closure $110.
And last 3 days, $224, $546, $385.

Did companies learn anything from Bud Light?
“Terrified Of A Bud Light Situation”: Target Pulls Pride Month Products In Certain Stores Amid Boycott Calls.
Update (1400 ET): Taking another page out of the Tranheuser Bush playbook, Target is already getting the blowback treatment, with the uber-woke socialist tabloid Business Insider reporting that after Target abruptly removed Pride month feature displays from dozens of stores in Southern states, has “frustrated and alienated” the company’s (handful of ) LGBTQ workers who “spoke anonymously for fear of professional consequences as they are not authorized to speak to the media, but Insider verified their identities and employment.”
One wonders how Target shareholders – who are vastly more numerous than the company’s handful of pride-flag clad employees – will feel when Target is Budlighted and feel the full impact of the conservative boycott, sending the company’s stock plunging.
One week after Target CEO Brian Cornell revealed that “woke” capitalism is “great” for their brand and “the right thing for society,” the mega-retailer has been scrambling to avoid a disastrous “Bud Light moment” by forcing some stores to remove LGBTQ Pride merchandise as consumer boycott calls mount.
“We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage,” the insider said.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/terrified-bud-light-situation-target-pulls-pride-month-products-certain-stores-amid
Note to CEO’s:
1. Watch a disastrous move by other companies.
2. Copy them.
3. Exclaim “we don’t understand!” when the inevitable severe backlash happens.
4. Watch your sales and share prices collapse.
5. Type your resumes, and best of luck!

North Face launches ad selling kids LGBT apparel with drag artist “Pattie Gonia” yelling, “COME OUT!”
Leading outdoor apparel brand The North Face has partnered with a “drag queen” in advance of LGBTQIA2s+ Pride Month, even selling children’s clothing daubed in gay rainbow colors, as part of its “Out in Nature” collection.
“Hi, it’s me, Pattie Gonia, a real-life homosexual,” a mustachioed man says in their new ad, as he announces the Summer of Pride tour for The North Face, a subsidiary of the VF Corporation which also owns brands such as Supreme, Vans, and Timberland.
Mr. Gonia opens the ad – in part directed at children – by offering “an invitation to come out…” with a long, suggestive pause, and the words “COME OUT” flashing on screen.

Western Pacific north of PNG was above 30C before convection kicked into overdrive:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/surface/level/overlay=sea_surface_temp/orthographic=-214.02,7.56,373/loc=132.304,12.811
Arabian Sea has hit 32C so convection is close to moving into high gear there as well. Convective potential indicated to be building along the northern coastline:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=cape/orthographic=-284.31,14.80,373/loc=64.140,23.161
It is worth noting that Nullschool does not have the vertical resolution in moisture to know if a level of free convection has formed. An LFC will not form if the mid altitude is getting dry air off the land, which is currently the case over the north of the Arabian Sea:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/500hPa/overlay=relative_humidity/orthographic=-284.31,14.80,373/loc=63.701,19.647
More likely that instability will form firther south where there is mid level moisture.

Thanks. Somebody told me that the movie versions were Super Hornet. (Think I have the right terminology.)
00
they would be the same as our planes
20
Possible confusion – Super Hornets are 2 seaters, with the systems operator in the back seat (GIB – Guy in back). There is also 2 seat (trainer) versions of the ‘Classic’ Hornets where the instructor sits in the back.
10
That’s interesting. Will zip over tomorrow and check to see if it’s a two-seater.
00
I’m not a movie tragic so did a search and found that Maverick flew an FA 18 Super Hornet, same as we fly. Our original F18 A Hornets are retired and may even end up in Ukraine.

Ok thanks. Not all going to Ukraine, one just down the road from me, having its engines re-installed I think today. (Saw the engines out of their transport packaging yesterday when I dropped in.) Hence my interest.
20
That’s interesting. Where is this plane? If it is being re-engined it must have a buyer.
The US has private Airforces that fly as the Red Force in military exercises but the one offering to buy our F 18s didn’t win the contract.
10
Nope. Donated to an aviation museum. Was reassembled onsite by a team, not sure whether they were from the RAAF. Sits alongside a Tornado, I think the only one in Aust. The Tornado was recently put together by a RAF team brought out from the UK. Still haven’t been inside the Lanc though, but have been on a VR “flight” in the Macchi. Great fun, “flying” around Perth.

Renewable energy no longer means anything more than windmills.
As the late Dr. Will Steffen, Climate Commissioner and professor of Chemistry explained, Victoria receives twice as much solar energy per year as it needs, presumably for electrical power. However it also means half of Victoria would have to be covered in solar panels at a cost of many trillions just to replace coal. This is nuts.
Solar is useless for baseload and obviously not possible for at least half of every single day. And many days very weak or non existent. And you get wind droughts as in every other country. Hours or weeks at a time.
In case you have not noticed, all discussion of waves, hotrocks and more has just vanished.
The ONLY “Renewables” being considered world wide are (Chinese) windmills. And China launched economic warfare on Australia when we dared asked for an inquiry into the origins of the deadly man made Wuhan Flu. So what are our plans for service or spare parts? Or are they disposable? Are they expected to last even 20 years? Would you buy a car like this?
Windmills are totally inadequate. As one politician suggested we only had to triple the number. But in case they had missed basic mathematics in law school, 3 x 0= 0.
So what is the actual plan to power Australia? It’s not nuclear.
How can any country head into destroying its energy supply, transport, mining, agriculture without ANY plan? The insanely named ‘Safeguard Mechanism’ is now law and starting July 2023 is a plan to halve all these things in 7 years.
Halve the food? Really?
If you go down the list of 250 companies, the Tasmania ferry, all the train lines, ships, miners, trucks, chemical manufacturers are targets. Even the MMBW in Melbourne. The sewage business is a Big Polluter. Really? I suppose that will be solved when we have half as much food.
What sort of absolutely mad people pass such a law with no plan at all? Certain destruction to a plan? In whose interest is that? Certainly not the Australian people.
210
But it will be fine. In the Australian the CSIRO says they have a plan to use ’emerging technologies’ to solve the problems, especially with cow farts. Our principal Research organization cannot see a problem. A sort of technological cargo cult approach.
There was a time the government of Australia worked in the interests of all Australians to improve our quality of life, our defences, our international position and our productivity.
It seems a long time ago, before the ABC decided they did not like the Monarchy anyway and that they speak for all Australians. They don’t need to apologise. ABC viewers are the problem and should have known the coronation was offensive.
Now if we could capture the energy in those flying pigs, we might have a solution.

I would have thought it easy for the MSM to keep questioning the federal govt about progress towards Net Zero, with the requirements of 22,000 solar panels a day and 40 wind turbines a month, plus 28,000 kms of new transmission lines.
120
Think about starting a deficit clock to keep track of the rising tally of how many aren’t installed every day
40
By all means. Soon they might start to notice.

And where do we get the data from? The govt is not very forthcoming.

Its not the Chinese or the Russians, the public are the enemy.

Well, I haven’t noticed them working on adopting the Policing methods of better countries, ones that negotiate rather than shoot first and ask questions afterwards…

Caitlin Johnstone looking at 60 Minutes Australia pushing China War Propaganda. Australia is sinking in a sea of propaganda now.
“As I never tire of pointing out, the claim that the US has been militarily encircling its number one geopolitical rival defensively is the single dumbest thing the empire asks us to believe these days.
The US is surrounding China with war machinery in ways that it would consider an outrageously aggressive provocation if the same thing were done in its neck of the woods, which means the US is plainly the aggressor in this standoff, and China is plainly reacting defensively to those aggressions.”

There is a need for a new political party in Australia.
Australia powered into the 1990s after state monopolies on electricity supply were eliminated opening up competition across state borders and all generators offered the same opportunity. It got incompetent managers out of the business of providing an essential service. It was running so well by the end of the century that Howard decided it could be used for a bit of appeasement on the climate con. I doubt he expected it to end up being the major crime syndicate of the first half of the 21st century.
So a single issue party that would attack the criminal element robbing from electricity consumers. Let the crooks fend for themselves in an unprotected world where they have to offer an economic service or leave the market.
End Organised Theft from Electricity Consumers

Good idea, Rick. Watching Richard Tice, leader of Reform UK, speaking with Dan Wootton on GB News today. He gave forthright opinions on several subjects, including the Lib Dems’ leader Ed Davey uttering the jaw droppingly gormless response to a question regarding the perennial conundrum of gender – Davey actually said; a woman can ‘quite clearly’ have a penis.
After dealing with that insanity, Tice turned his attention to ex-footballing lefty fave Gary Lineker, who was in Italy accepting a humanitarian award from Amnesty. Lineker gave a bizarre spiel praising St. Greta of Stockholm and ranting about refugees and climate change, or something.
Tice had this to say; ‘There is no climate crisis, there is no climate emergency, it’s absolutely absurd. They’re deliberately scaring young people in the same way Boris Johnson scared people with lockdowns. Why do you think we’ve got a mental health crisis? Clowns like that talking nonsense and worrying people.’
Would love to see just one homegrown pollie speak out like that in public.

It is just one clear sign of the effects of climate change being experienced by the island’s population, alongside flooding and increases in vector-borne disease.
That is why a group of seven people, most of whom still live on Bonaire and all of whom are Dutch citizens, have joined Greenpeace in threatening to sue the Netherlands government for breaching their human rights by contributing to global carbon emissions and failing to protect them from the consequences.”
Sad that Greenpeace is so morally bankrupt it is recruiting people to join in a hopeless court case just for the publicity up front. A few days of hot weather is climate change of course, a cold year in Aussie is ignored.
