      If we only get a few negative degree mornings in our area, rather than a dozen each year, then I will be enjoying things more.

          Not especially.
          I enjoy a steak. I enjoy a steak with a good pepper sauce more. Doesn’t mean I’m bothered by steak that doesn’t have pepper sauce.
          I didn’t say I won’t be happy until negative degree mornings are eliminated.

      The trip up the elevator to a civilization enriching warming is going great by your small cherry picked period. Damn shame the opposite is more likely.

      Less than 0.6 degrees UAH over 40 years coming out of the little ice age and the fear of a new ice age as the temperature rise slowed coming into the 70’s.

      So what do we learn from this small time frame in Earths history GA? Climate changes.

        Not to mention … it is the least of our problems … many of which are the direct result of the hysterical reaction to warming and the weather cult it created … the origin tumor of the Mass Formation that has metastasized throughout the global body politic.

      Its a warming trend, no doubt about it, but there are also times of no warming. Must be natural variability hanging on.

      Tiny, non-significant temperature changes and all natural variation, but all good.

      Civilisation always thrives during naturally warm periods such as the Minoan, Egyptian, Roman and Medieval warm periods.

      We might as well make the most of it before we start to freeze as we come to the end of the present interglacial (because all the power stations will have been destroyed by the anti-energy lobby).

      Gee >The Elevator

      ‘Adjusted’ as per Foster and Rahmstorf 2011.

      Skeptical Science calls that “Single Study Syndrome”.

      Here’s a second opinion:

      Application of the Singular Spectrum Analysis Technique to Study the Recent Hiatus on the Global Surface Temperature Record
      Diego Macias, Adolf Stips, and Elisa Garcia-Gorriz (2014)
      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4160239/

      Figure 1
      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4160239/figure/pone-0107222-g001/

      Oops, Foster and Rahmstorf missed that huge oceanic oscillation – maybe their technique needs some work.

      And oh dear, look at the secular trend in the longer series – doesn’t look like the IPCC’s human attribution kicking in at 1950, must be something else going on.

      Maybe F&R’s solar “adjustment” is just junk huh?

      Now do actual absolute with latitudinal breakdown i.e. Arctic, Mid Nth, Tropics, Mid Sth, Antarctic.

      About the same as the 0.8°C rise in temperature from 1910 to 1945 that couldn’t be due to fossil fuels.

      How about UAH since 1990
      https://www.woodfortrees.org/graph/uah6/from:1990

      Only 0.4°C rise.

      Of course, the result depends on whose calculations you use, that depends a lot on subjective choice on how to churn the data. Not that there is not a warming trend, but that it’s more consistent with natural warming coming out of the LIA and an oscillation with 60 year period.

      The only thing the elevator does is encourage some idiot to light a fire when it’s hot to prove that the temperature rise is a calamity.

      A hundred fold less people die in natural disasters because of fossil fuels, and idiots want to save more by getting rid of fossil fuels.

      My air-conditioning works a tiny bit harder than it would 30 years ago, but the new efficient one was less than half the cost of the old one because of advancements due to real progress.

      Crops are growing wildly, although bad years in regions still occur like they always did, yields are up. They are only down when corrected for how high they should be because of all the advancements that fossil fuels bring, in order to argue that fossil fuels are deadly. It’s idiotic.

          Xi indeed has made eventual failure certain – due to sneaking corruption over truth at every level and apparent loyalty to him over expertise. But tofu buildings still stand – until a force makes them fall.
          Sadly so much corruption that Putin’s army (though hopeless) is actually not losing. After looking at a lot of sources – I fully recommend https://rumble.com/c/DefensePoliticsAsia
          Generally in summary you will find that daily perusal of the extensive line of fighting shows regular small gains and losses…and overlapping disputed territory. After daily perusal got boring I have gone to weekly and – nothing much changes week to week.. recently Ukraine made a bulge but they will lose it soon. Russia is creeping in certain key areas.. and the Ukraine bulge is not sustainable as it gives Russia a pincer to trap them in. Last report had some captured Ukrainian confessed they went over the Dneiper into Russian area in battle for a photo up with the flag – that is a photo for the West.. ok it may be a lie – but the thing is – it’s a lie that fits- they got pushed off- if they had gained the toehold to hold it then this guy marking the line on the map for over 500 days would know. He uses geo-locators- ie video from both sides showing where they are. Then he knows for sure the front line.. he refuses hearsay and won’t tag a gain until both sides agree. If you listen he says take it all with a pinch of salt or msg until he gets verified footage out.
          In total – go look – Russia is not losing. It’s a nasty war, but not nearly as nasty as the one in Israel at present.
          Russia has far more reach into Europe than people will credit. We see the weakness of America will have terrible issues in the fall of Europe.

            “Putin’s army (though hopeless) is actually not losing.”

            I’m not sure about ‘hopeless’, it is holding against everything NATO can throw at it, and using a very small part of the total Russian army. Ukraine will run out of conscripts to kidnap off the streets and when that happens either the Poles and/or the Germans have to take the front lines, or Russia can move its army forward as it wants to. The losses of the Russian army have been kept to a minimum, there is no hurry for them. Lets see how the Palestinian civilian death rate compares to the Ukrainian.

            Putin never expected to be fighting NATO, and NATO thought they could run over the Russian army easily. War is a great education for a country.

            I used to watch DPA every day, but as you say, it has slowed to positional warfare now and Wyatt has had very little to talk about.

                Yes – Russia has tech FAR more advanced than the USA, and that’s years old news. In war times allies will benefit.
                If one takes the time to compare strategic reserves and consider other factors, you’ll see the USA isn’t the centre of the universe as so many think.

      In China some of the armed forces are not being paid, because of economic collapse. There won’t be any attempt to take Taiwan, they are outgunned by the Alliance. The CCP is on its last legs, a grass roots cultural revolution should be enough to topple the beast, allowing democracy and the free market to flourish.

      Putin is doomed, his soldiers are surrendering.

        I once thought it was Patten who said “A unit that is battle ready is not inspection ready. A unit that is inspection ready is not battle ready”. I was wrong, it was Murphy.

        But there is truth in that. Any busy, productive workplace gets a bit chaotic. So when I see thousands of immaculately dressed and drilled Chinese and those troops of china doll girls I wonder how they would go with dirt on their boots, especially when you consider that they were all raised in single child households, mumma’s boys.

        China will fall at the last hurdle, it will break down without ever reaching greatness.

          Hanrahan,
          They don’t need to fight . They just stop exporting to the west . They have access to resources and there is still 1.14 billion of them . Taiwan will reunite with the mainland eventually . Its a bit like Tasmania not being a part of Australia . They just have to work out a deal. China was/is making drones for both sides of the “SMO” and learning from Russias mistakes and successes . When you look at the weapons used now , a kid who grew up playing video games is a valued combat soldier. We are living in “interesting” times.

          And Murphy was / is an optimist.

          Some of Murphy’s Laws of Military Operations:

          https://www.military-quotes.com/murphy.htm

          Examples:

          Friendly fire – isn’t.
          Suppressive fires – won’t.
          You are not Superman; “Special Forces” and fighter pilots take note.
          A sucking chest wound is Nature’s way of telling you to slow down.
          If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.
          Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you.
          If at first you don’t succeed, call in an air strike.
          If you are forward of your position, your artillery will fall short.
          Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
          The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
          Things which must be shipped together as a set, aren’t.
          Things that must work together, can’t be carried to the field that way.
          Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support.
          Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both).
          Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.
          Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won’t be able to get out.
          Tracers work both ways.
          If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will get more than your fair share of objectives to take.
          When both sides are convinced they’re about to lose, they’re both right.
          Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.

          We keep thinking about the power balance of nation states.
          I think maybe we are in a post nation state struggle.
          After WWII the US had a much vaunted military, but I’m not sure what that means now.

          For example, the current POTUS administration, with all the hallmarks* of a global cutout …
          has encouraged millions to flow across our southern border, while at the same time locking American citizens down and mandating vaccines.

          I myself, after having a driver’s license for thirty years in my state, had to produce an original birth certificate to renew, illegal immigrants can procure a state DL with no ID papers whatever.

          Also notice, that the ‘Pandemic’ policy and rhetorical reaction was oddly identically scripted across multiple nation states … this I consider a clue.

          I don’t think many of us live under a government for which the ‘nation’ is the priority anymore.
          In fact here in America, over enthusiastic ‘patriotic’ display may put you on a FBI list.

    ‘No Wash’ movement: The dirt on how to save the planet

    With more than 15 million views on TikTok, the ‘no-wash’ movement has recently gained in popularity. It was originally brought to light by British fashion designer Stella McCartney. She told The Observer newspaper “basically in life, rule of thumb, if you don’t absolutely have to clean anything, don’t clean it”.

    The trend calls for people to wash their clothes and hair less or even not at all and aims to address concerns over global warming. Carbon-intensive detergents have a negative impact on the environment and the same goes for the quantities and use of water in bathing.

    But this isn’t all. Washing machines use up to 17 per cent of total water consumption and with expenses increasing due to the cost-of-living crisis, this has a negative impact on household bills. Put simply, ‘no wash’ is also a good way to save money.

    https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/10/08/no-wash-movement-the-dirt-on-how-to-save-the-planet

    Global boiling. We were measuring the wrong things.

    A new official organization, the Overshoot Commission, was recently set up to manage the global boiling, considering, among other things, darkening the skies to cool the planet as the climate emergency unfolds.

    An elegant new study that eliminates the effect of “urban islands” throws doubt on both the extent and the causes of global warming.

    It turns out that we were measuring the wrong thing all along! Due to understandable reasons of convenience, scientists placed weather stations near where they live, in or near urban areas.

    It turned out to be problematic: instead of measuring the warming of the planet, we measured the warming of the cities.

    Most people live in urban areas; however, most land is not urban: metropolitan areas occupy only three percent of the land mass…

      Take an Imperial ruler with you, so you can calculate the Horsepower of a steam engine.
      The formula is-
      P L A N divided by E
      Where-
      P = Steam Pressure (PSI)
      L = Length of Stroke (Feet)
      A = Area of Piston Head (Square inches)
      N = Number of Cylinders
      E = Efficiency factor (550 x [say]2.5%)
      .
      Note- 550 ft/lbs = 1 Horsepower, (by definition), (assuming 1/40th efficiency).
      [E as above = 22,000]
      .
      Do it in your head after a while.
      As long as you don’t walk into things….

    Another Green energy fail… This time it was not a lithium battery.

    On , Friday 6th October, FRNSW were called to an incident at the MGA Thermal Demonstration Plant, sited in the Tomago industrial area, north of Newcastle. (Australia)

    Ok what occurred?… During the commissioning phase, the Thermal Demonstration Plant overheated from 700 degrees to approx 1,200 degrees C.

    Attending firefighters were prevented from using water to cool the machinery/plant due to the risk of an explosion.
    A 400 m exclusion zone was established.
    A bulk CO2 Tanker from Sydney was responded. Dry powder was also applied as an extinguishing medium. N2 was also used for suppression..

    Operations were conducted for 10 hrs until the TDP was stabilised at 15:40 hrs. A Hazmat crew remained on scene for a further 24 hrs.

    OK, So what is a MGA Thermal Plant?… Good question, here you go:

    https://www.mgathermal.com/pilot

    The MGA Thermal Demonstration Plant specs:

    5 MWh

    500 kW nameplate thermal power

    10 hours of design dispatch

    Approx. 3700 MGA Blocks

    12m L x 3m W x 4m H….

    Ok, this is the FRNSW media release… Understand it is written by the media team, they are not FRNSW operational firefighters, we do not “spray” CO2.

      Liquid nitrogen is very cold, available in tankers and is cheap. Probably better than CO2.

      I saw that on the local news! Didn’t realise it was a gov funded green energy project. Doubt that was mentioned. It was one hot nasty situation I noticed that.

      More inefficient storage of energy attempts? I saw Bowen on the pamphlet, red flag!

    Ever wonder how Hamas got all those missiles into Gaza and the paragliders, Gaza has 2 boarders, 1 controlled by Egypt the other controlled by Israel, the sea link has been under blockade by Israel?
    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/7/the-gaza-strip-explained-in-maps

    The USA is sending their largest carrier fleet, I assume to fight off those paragliders. Maybe the target is Iran, Seven Countries in Five Years.

      I hope Israel doesn’t bomb the ship this time.

      Quite possible the cia let that stuff in, who knows? Saw an ex IDF intelligence saying she finds it hard to believe Mossad had no idea.

      The Neocon come back? Plausible. But didnt Biden just give Iran billions?

      The missiles are mostly home-made and the materials for them are mostly smuggled through the semi-open Egyptian border via tunnels.

      Another riskier smuggling route is via sea as ships drop off capsules which are later recovered from the sea floor by the terrorists.

      There are also Fajr-3, Fajr-5, and M302 rockets smuggled from Syria or Iran via Sudan or possibly made in Gaza.

      Israel’s are claiming treachery. Jordan Peterson tweets “enough is enough give them hell’
      I suspect Mossad created Hamas to run the prison system called Gaza Strip. When it’s leveled igniting global armies thus ww111.

    Does anyone on here believe that if temps got let’s say 3 degrees warmer that it would be bad news, the end times? Personally, I have little fear of a significantly warming world, but perhaps I’m wrong.

      Philip,
      As the bulk of warming seems to be night-time temperatures, much of the cool temperate lands – notably Canada and Russia – would benefit considerably from a 3 degree C rise [on average].
      It might be 6 degrees less cool at night.
      But my understanding is that parts of Canada would still have ~-25 C nights [not ~-35C] – so still chillier than we get inside the M25 in South London.
      We did have -19C in a frost hollow near me a decade or so ago. For a couple of hours – not an entire season!

      Even though nothing will ever satisfy conspiracy theorists, there have been numerous inquiries into the USS Liberty incident and it was a tragic act of friendly fire related to miscommunication, failed communications and misunderstandings by both sides.

    Yes, they allow adverts like this.

    https://www.webmd.com/cancer/cancer-rife-machine-evidence

    History of Rife Machine
    American scientist Royal Raymond Rife invented it in the 1920s. The machine produced very low energy waves, also known as radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Rife based his ideas on the work of another scientist, Albert Abrams, who believed diseases gave off electromagnetic frequencies.

    Rife thought bacteria were behind many diseases like cancer. He created a microscope to see them, and claimed his Rife Frequency Generator could spot and get rid of cancer by tuning into its electrical impulses. The American Medical Association condemned Rife’s experiments.

    That didn’t stop some marketers from promoting the machine starting during the 1990s. The American Cancer Society soon debunked their claims with a published study. The paper said that while sound waves can produce vibrations that break glass, the waves from a Rife generator were too weak to destroy bacteria.

    AND

    https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325628

    Can the Rife machine treat cancer?

    A Rife machine produces low energy electromagnetic waves that are similar to radio waves. Proponents claim that using the device on the body can cure cancer and treat other conditions, such as HIV.

    There is no evidence that Rife machines have any effect on cancer or can cure HIV. Some newer studies suggest that other types of electromagnetic waves may affect tumor growth. However, these frequencies are different from those the Rife machine produces.

    In this article, we discuss what Rife machines are and whether there is any evidence that they can treat cancer. We also cover side

    According to a 2013 reviewTrusted Source, no scientific evidence shows that the Rife machine or other similar devices can treat cancer. The American Medical Association condemned Rife’s experiments at the time, and independent researchers were unable to replicate the claims he made in his work.

    More recent research does suggest that electromagnetic frequency may have a place in cancer treatment. However, these frequencies are different from those the Rife machine emits.

      David, the history of Roy Rife is very interesting. The Rife Microscope (who was considered fraudulent and impossible) was reproduced in a variant of it in the mid 1990’s. The scientists who did it got th Nobel Prize (2018 Medicine, IIRC) for it, oblivious to Rife’s prior work. (This was the florescent microscope.)

      Rife used serial filtration and mice to show that tiny, virus appearing, particles could be filtered from cancer tumors, and used to generate new cancer cases, through multiple host passages (Koch’s Law). That was written off, but now it is accepted in the last 20 years or so; they are known as extracellular vesicles, or exosomes. They seem to be involved in aging (Katcher’s research is based on exosomes.)

      The Rife machine (which disrupted both cells and exosomes)? Who knows? If someone reproduces it, it certainly should be worth a try.

        I did a “deep dive” research of Rife and his machine around 8 years ago. You can buy a modern equivalent of the Rife Microscope from here.

        https://www.grayfieldoptical.com/seenano-pro.php (It’s J P Morgan time – if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.)

        (Note: breaking glass with sound requires exactly the right resonance frequency (or frequencies), too high or too low and nothing happens no matter how much you crank it up. . . )

        I will only go into detail if asked – too controversial.
