Overnight low 40F in Western PA first week of June.
(Feel free to add your own clichés...)
Be a good time to land there.
But it has nothing to do with globull warming...............
The solar flare activity has been low for the last several months for the most part.
“The energy mechanism that creates a solar prominence is still a topic of research.”
That is not reassuring.
Well, I suppose I should cancel the pool party I had scheduled for this weekend.
What a crock of alarmist crap. The likelihood is that the next maxima will be on the order of what have been levels of activity noted in previous MINIMA.
Observations strongly suggest that the sun is going through a quiet period that may last decades and result in lower than normal temperatures only moderated by a 500 year periodic close orbit of the sun and earth.
On the upside of this, I’m an amateur (”ham”) radio operator and propagation for our radio signals during a solar minimum sucks. For us, the more sun spots we see, the better we can communicate across the world.
What will AOC require we do about this?
No, there is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that man is causing ANY "heating" of the climate.
The Scientific Method never invokes "consensus" or unproven models.
Interesting, that.
The upper-Midwest is experiencing one of the coldest and wettest Springs in recent memory.
And my memory reaches back to 1963.
From the article:
“The most famous Coronal Mass Ejection occurred in 1859 and caused a geomagnetic storm called the ‘Carrington Event’ as a pulse of charged particles bombarded Earth’s magnetosphere.
“If this happened today, the results would be devastating.
“In April, Nasa wrote: ‘The Carrington Event compressed the Earth’s magnetic field so violently that currents were created in telegraph wires so great that many wires sparked and gave telegraph operators shocks.
“‘Were a Carrington-class event to impact the Earth today, speculation holds that damage might occur to global power grids and electronics on a scale never yet experienced.’”
If I understand correctly we have just begun the solar minimum cycle that will last approximately 11 years. So, in 2030, we may be at risk of getting hit by another Carrington-class event that could create havoc with our electric and electronic systems. We’re doomed. We’re so dependent on wireless communication and data transfer, if there was a major disruptive event, then everything on earth could come to a standstill.
I blame the NRA.
Is it time to nuke the sun?

Just what exactly is “ominous” about this???????
[The sun has ‘reached solar minimum’ and its surface is ominously calm]
Solar Zen.
Or Solar Chuck Norris Waiting To Pounce.
Dr. Valentina Zharkova has created an amazingly accurate model for the sun’s activity. It says we are in for 400 years of cooling. Very interesting reading.
