United Kingdom’s coal-free days brought to you by natural gas
Due to several factors — notably a carbon price policy implemented in 2013 — the UK’s coal use has plummeted, natural gas has risen to make up most of the difference and emissions have dropped.
https://www.axios.com/united-kingdoms-coal-free-days-brought-natural-gas-95dc1779-695d-4ccb-8ff4-d2e24b709578.html

So a bit like the USA. They then complain that ‘while cleaner than coal, natural gas still emits greenhouse gasses’ – conveniently forgetting that most so-called GHG is water vapour. No end in sight to the ‘blame humans’ nonsense.
‘Cloud’ that showed up on weather radar in US is actually 80 mile wide swarm of insects
A “cloud” that appeared on a weather radar over southern California has shocked meteorologists after it turned out to be a massive swarm of ladybirds.
The bug bloom, which was spotted over San Diego on Tuesday, was believed to be 80 miles wide and could easily be mistaken for a rain cloud.
On the ground, meteorologist Joe Dandrea told the LA Times that the swarm appeared more as “specks flying by” rather than a dense cloud.
The San Diego arm of the National Weather Service tweeted a gif of the critters showing up on the radar, writing: “The large echo showing up on SoCal radar this evening is not precipitation, but actually a cloud of lady bugs termed a ‘bloom’”.

Astronomers Find First Evidence of an Odd Radio ‘Bridge’ Connecting 2 Galaxy Clusters
7 JUN 2019
A colossal magnetic field stretching between two clusters of galaxies has been observed for the first time. Roughly a billion light-years away, the ‘bridge’ of radio-emitting plasma spans 10 million light-years, following a filament in the mysterious cosmic web that connects the Universe.
. . .
This is synchrotron radiation produced by electrons zipping along the filament at relativistic velocities, only possible if the magnetic field is acting as a synchrotron, or particle accelerator.
“We typically observe this emission mechanism in action in individual galaxies and even in galaxy clusters, but never before has a radio emission been observed connecting two of these systems,” said INAF astronomer Matteo Murgia. [bold added]

That’s a big bridge 😎
Synchrotron radiation: electromagnetic energy emitted by charged particles (e.g., electrons and ions) that are moving at speeds close to that of light when their paths are altered, as by a magnetic field.
https://www.britannica.com/science/synchrotron-radiation
From the report:
We also don’t know if other filaments also contain magnetic fields, or if it’s a property unique to Abell 0399 and 0401, or if it’s only found in merging galaxies.
unique – how likely is that?
Wikipedia: Galaxies have magnetic fields of their own.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy#Properties
Enc. Britannica says:
Many kinds of astronomical objects have been found to emit synchrotron radiation as well. High-energy electrons spiraling through the lines of force of the magnetic field around the planet Jupiter, for example, give off synchrotron radiation at radio wavelengths. Synchrotron radiation at such wavelengths and at those of visible and ultraviolet light is generated by electrons moving in the magnetic field associated with the supernova remnant known as the Crab Nebula. Radio emissions of the synchrotron variety also have been detected from other supernova remnants in the Milky Way Galaxy and from extragalactic objects called quasars (see quasar).

“Around 1960 Old Brass Brains was modified […]”
“[…] the US No.2 Tide Predicting Machine […] was classified, along with the data that it produced, and used to predict tides for the D-day Normandy landings and all the island landings in the Pacific war.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-predicting_machine
“It was first applied to predicting values for the 1912 and 1913 tide tables.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-Predicting_Machine_No._2
“Obtaining tide observations […] of the factors required for predictions was often a significant challenge.”
“To compute tides for a coastal location, the operator has to configure the machine for […] up to 37 factors.”
“During World War II the USCGS produced annual tide tables for major ports four years in advance in case Old Brass Brains broke down or was sabotaged.”
UK weather: June expected to be wettest on record, as Met Office warn of potential floods

Roger & Oldbrew, there is a very interesting response on the WUWTre-post by Dr Roy Spencer where he discusses a simple GHG model here
The poster Eddie Banner discusses Photon Energy, something that I have been asking Climastrologists about for a long time, especially compared to Solar Radiation.
His points, if correct totally demolish the idea that CO2 can provide any meaningful energy whatsoever.
ACO – thanks, looked at it but for me the focus is still on the wrong suspect.
Every planetary body with a significant atmosphere has a lapse rate, and that doesn’t depend on the CO2 content or even on having any CO2. So instead of all the competing trace gas calculations, they should focus on understanding the lapse rates first, and why they always work the same way (or at least appear to do so) irrespective of atmospheric composition, based on their distance from the Sun.

Mathematics of plant leaves
Unusual Japanese plant inspires recalculation of equation used to model leaf arrangement patterns
Date: June 6, 2019
Source: University of Tokyo
Summary:
A Japanese plant species with a peculiar leaf pattern recently revealed unexpected insight into how almost all plants control their leaf arrangement.
. . .
All in the angles
To identify the leaf arrangement of a plant species, botanists measure the angle between leaves, moving up the stem from oldest to youngest leaf.
Common patterns are symmetrical and have leaves arranged at regular intervals of 90 degrees (basil or mint), 180 degrees (stem grasses, like bamboo), or in Fibonacci golden angle spirals (like the needles on some spherical cacti, or the succulent spiral aloe).

New result in hunt for mysterious magnetic monopoles
The ATLAS Collaboration has released its first results from the search for magnetic monopoles and HECOs in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions. Given that no evidence of either magnetic monopoles or HECOs was observed, constraints were established on spin-0 and spin-½ particles assuming the Drell-Yan electromagnetic pair production mechanism.
To date, the search is the most sensitive study on magnetic monopoles in the range of 1 to 2 gD magnetic charge, surpassing the results of the dedicated MoEDAL experiment, which nonetheless probes a larger range. The study also improves, by approximately a factor of five, the previous constraints on the direct production of magnetic monopoles with magnetic charge 1 gD (see figure).

Not really a ‘new result’ then, but maybe a more advanced way of not getting one.
Since electricity is needed to create magnetism they may be chasing a lost cause. The evidence, or lack of it, points that way but they prefer to say it’s ‘mysterious’.

Cool halo gas caught spinning like galactic disks
by W. M. Keck Observatory
The researchers used W. M. Keck Observatory to obtain the first-ever direct observational evidence showing that corotating halo gas is not only possible, but common. Their findings suggest that the whirling gas halo will eventually spiral in towards the disk.
“This is a major breakthrough in understanding how galactic disks grow,” said Martin, Professor of Physics at UC Santa Barbara and lead author of the study. “Galaxies are surrounded by massive reservoirs of gas that extend far beyond the visible portions of galaxies. Until now, it has remained a mystery how exactly this material is transported to galactic disks where it can fuel the next generation of star formation.”
The study is published in today’s issue of the Astrophysical Journal and shows the combined results of 50 standard star-forming galaxies taken over a period of several years.

Discovery of a “Holy Grail” with the invention of universal computer memory
20 June 2019
A US patent has been awarded for the electronic memory device with another patent pending, while several companies have expressed an interest or are actively involved in the research.
The inventors of the device used quantum mechanics to solve the dilemma of choosing between stable, long-term data storage and low-energy writing and erasing.
The device could replace the $100bn market for Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), which is the ‘working memory’ of computers, as well as the long-term memory in flash drives.

Record efficiency for a gas engine
Compared to the state of the art, the consumption of the new gas engine with prechamber combustion process was reduced by 20 percent (converted into WLTP standard consumption for a mid-size passenger car). The peak efficiency in the best engine configuration was over 45 percent, with efficiencies of over 40 percent achieved over a wide operating range. Such values are currently only achieved by significantly larger engines, such as those used in commercial vehicles, stationary or marine applications. 45 percent is a new record for passenger car engines. By way of comparison, petrol engines typically have efficiencies of 35 to 40 percent. The GasOn project has not yet dealt with the exhaust gas treatment of such an engine; there is still need for further research, due to the lean combustion process.
Overall, it has been shown that gas engines have the potential to achieve similar efficiencies as (significantly larger) diesel engines. [bold added]

The Crab Nebula just blasted Earth with the highest-energy photons ever recorded
One measured photon has roughly the energy of a falling ping-pong ball.
by Emerging Technology from the arXiv
Jun 21, 2019
Today, researchers from the Tibet Air Shower Gamma Collaboration say they have observed photons with energies above 100 TeV for the first time, including a remarkable photon with an energy of almost 500 TeV. This single photon has about the same energy as a falling Ping-Pong ball and is the highest-energy photon ever recorded.
The collaboration has also worked out where these photons are coming from: the Crab Nebula, the remnants of a supernova that occurred in 1054 AD in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way, some 6,500 light-years from Earth.

Part of the Pacific Ocean is not warming as expected, but why?
Climate models of global warming—computerized simulations of what various parts of the earth are expected to do in reaction to rising greenhouse gases—say that the equatorial cold tongue, along with other regions, should have started warming decades ago, and should still be warming now. But the cold tongue has remained stubbornly cold.
This troubles many scientists, because the cold tongue plays a key role in global climate.

Yellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser Is Incredibly Active Right Now, and We Don’t Know Why
June 26, 2019
Yellowstone National Park’s Steamboat Geyser blasted steam and water into the air at 12:52 p.m. local time on June 12. Then, three days, 3 hours and 48 minutes later — at 4:40 p.m. on June 15 — it blasted steam and water into the air again, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS)’s Volcano Hazards Program. That’s a new record for the geyser, according to the Billings Gazette: the shortest time ever recorded between eruptions.
. . .
The geyser set a record for total number of eruptions in 2018, with 32 in the calendar year, according to USGS. Already in 2019 there have been 24 eruptions, six of them in June as of this writing.

Boeing’s 737 Max Software Outsourced to $9-an-Hour Engineers
By Peter Robison
28 June 2019
>> Planemaker and suppliers used lower-paid temporary workers
>> Engineers feared the practice meant code wasn’t done right
The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.”

Sounds oddly familiar to me 😎
Pay peanuts, get monkeys? Or maybe a language/communication barrier. Plus lack of relevant experience probably.
Yes familiar. Happened to me on powerplant DCS. The maker trusted others with the writing program, and the latter thought they knew what had to be done. No idea that in a disturbance system had to go to safe rundown island-mode. But I had long learned to trust no one. The demanded verification was ultra necessary. Code writers are not plant engineers.
One of several such incidents.

So the study of Pisano periods may be further reduced to that of Pisano periods of primes. In this regard, two primes are anomalous. The prime 2 has an odd Pisano period, and the prime 5 has period that is relatively much larger than the Pisano period of any other prime.”

Alternating currents cause Jupiter’s aurora
by University of Cologne
The article “Birkeland currents in Jupiter’s magnetosphere observed by the polar-orbiting Juno spacecraft” is published in the current issue of Nature Astronomy.
Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has the brightest aurora, with a radiant power of 100 terawatts (100,000,000,000 kilowatts = one hundred billion KW). 100,000 power plants would be needed to produce this light. Similarly to the ones on Earth, Jupiter’s aurora display themselves as two huge oval rings around the poles. They are driven by a gigantic system of electrical currents that connects the polar light region with Jupiter’s magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is the region around a planet that is influenced by its magnetic field. Most of the electric currents run along Jupiter’s magnetic field lines, also known as Birkeland currents.
. . .
“Jupiter’s electric current systems are driven by the enormous centrifugal forces in Jupiter’s rapidly rotating magnetosphere,” Saur remarked. The volcanically active Jupiter moon Io produces one ton of sulfur dioxide gas per second, which ionizes into Jupiter’s magnetosphere. “Because of Jupiter’s fast rotation—a day on Jupiter lasts only ten hours—the centrifugal forces move the ionized gas in Jupiter’s magnetic field, which generate the electric currents,” the geophysicist concludes.

Observing the Birkeland currents [2014]
Summary:
When the supersonic solar wind hits the Earth’s magnetic field, a powerful electrical connection occurs with Earth’s field, generating millions of amperes of current that drive the dazzling auroras. These so-called Birkeland currents connect the ionosphere to the magnetosphere and channel solar wind energy to Earth’s uppermost atmosphere. Solar storms release torrential blasts of solar wind that cause much stronger currents and can overload power grids and disrupt communications and navigation.

A typical energy level for a galactic cosmic ray detected by the neutron monitor is 17 billion electron volts.
. . .
Most cosmic rays are protons which are abundant in the universe. How protons obtain the energy required to become cosmic rays is still a mystery.

Scientists deepen understanding of magnetic fields surrounding Earth and other planets
Vast rings of electrically charged particles encircle the Earth and other planets. Now, a team of scientists has completed research into waves that travel through this magnetic, electrically charged environment, known as the magnetosphere, deepening understanding of the region and its interaction with our own planet, and opening up new ways to study other planets across the galaxy.
. . .
“We are really eager to understand the magnetosphere and how it mediates the effect that space weather has on our planet,” said Kim. “Being able to use EMIC waves as diagnostics would be very helpful.” [bold added]

Astronomers find evidence of atmosphere-like envelopes around galaxies
A new study by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, published today in journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, has found evidence that the gaseous envelopes around larger galaxies are similar to the state of Earth’s atmosphere.
The study suggests that the gaseous envelopes around galaxies that are between a billion and a trillion times the mass of the Sun are in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium. This means these ‘envelopes’ are stable due the balance between the inward force of gravity and the outward pressure of the gas, which is very similar to the state of Earth’s atmosphere. [bold added]

The Science Is Quite Clear: Reducing CO2 Emissions Only Raises Energy Prices
Alan Carlin | July 15, 2019
The current hysteria promoted by climate alarmists concerning global warming is simply that–hysteria. If people want to worry about climate change, they should worry about future global cooling. Cold is the great danger that humans will eventually face, not a little warmth.

Primorial Serpents
Salvador’s 2506 is consistent with Seidelmann (1992) but recall that NASA was still recently trying to sharpen their estimates of Saturn’s mean orbital period. OB’s preference for 2503 draws attention to both an interpretive controversy and the apparent source of a favorite long-distance orrery parameter.
“The “Serpent Numbers” in the Dresden codex pp. 61–69 is a table of dates written in the coils of undulating serpents. Beyer was the first to notice that the Serpent Series is based on an unusually long distance number of 1.18.1.8.0.16 (5,482,096 days – more than 30,000 years).”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_astronomy#Precession_of_the_equinoxes
Note the error in the wikipedia statement by a factor of 2.
5482096 days / 365.25 days per year = 15009.1608487337 years
10964192 days / 365.25 days per year = 30018.3216974675 years
nearest primorial = 30030 = 1*2*3*5*7*11*13
Now assemble puzzle pieces:
√√(3*5*7*11*13) = 11.069584864893
30018.3216974675 / 13 = 2309.10166903596
2309.10166903596 / 11.069584864893 = 208.598759322876
12 * 208.598759322876 = 2503.18511187451

Space-station cameras reveal how thunderstorms trigger gamma-ray bursts.
Mysterious electrical flashes above storm clouds have long puzzled scientists.
The researchers have found that the bursts, known as terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), form when powerful electric fields course through the atmosphere, just before a lightning bolt travels along the same path. The charged electrical particles interact with the atmosphere to produce a super-fast flickering of gamma rays, which cannot be seen by the naked eye but are visible to the specialized cameras looking down from the space station.
The instruments have provided the best look yet at the relationship between ordinary lightning and TGFs, which scientists have known about since 1994 but have not been able to explain. “This is a game changer,” says Nikolai Østgaard, a space physicist at the University of Bergen in Norway.

4,600-year-old Greek ‘pyramid’ found in the Aegean Sea … is not a pyramid at all
Called Dhaskalio, this little island is located about 90 meters (295 feet) west of the island of Keros. When Dhaskalio was taking shape 4,600 years ago, sea levels were lower, and the island was part of Keros, the researchers said.
. . .
The settlement at Dhaskalio and the nearby sanctuary appear to have been in use for about 400 years before being abandoned, the researchers said. But who, exactly, lived at Dhaskalio is still a mystery.
“The site was occupied for over 400 years,so ‘who’ would have lived there must have changed over time, but mainly, at the moment, we are focusing on those practicing intense craft activities [manufacture of metal tools] at the site around 2600-2500 B.C.,” Boyd told Live Science.

On the day Belfast’s Harland & Wolff – famously the builders of the Titanic – goes bust (it seems), let’s look at the question posed by the U.S. Coast Guard…
WHERE IS ICEBERG ALLEY?
The area we call “Iceberg Alley” is located about 250 miles east and southeast of the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Iceberg Alley is usually considered to be that portion of the Labrador Current, that flows southward from Flemish Pass, along the eastern edge of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, to the Tail of the Banks. This area extends approximately from 48 to 43 degrees North Latitude at 48 degrees West longitude. Icebergs and sea ice flowing south from Iceberg Alley created the Titanic disaster of 1912. This is the area of the ocean we patrol and monitor most carefully. [bold added]

Exceptionally dense fog is common where the cold Labrador Current merges with the warm Gulf Stream. By late winter, thick icebergs traverse the northern regions of this ecozone, from Greenland to Newfoundland. They have been feared by mariners for centuries, as well as being responsible for one of the deadliest disasters in maritime history, the sinking of the RMS Titanic. This resulted in the zone’s colloquial name “Iceberg Alley”.

Water in Hawaii volcano could trigger explosive eruptions
August 3, 2019
HONOLULU (AP) — For the first time in recorded history, a pond of water has been discovered inside the summit crater of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, a development that could signal a shift to a more explosive phase of future eruptions.
After a week of questions about a mysterious green patch at the bottom of the volcano’s Halemaumau crater, the former home of a famed lava lake, researchers confirmed the presence of water on Thursday, officials with the U.S. Geological Survey told The Associated Press on Friday.
“The question is what does this mean in the evolution of the volcano?” USGS scientist emeritus Don Swanson said.
Halemaumau has never had water since written observations began, he said, so the pond is unusual.
Scientists aren’t exactly certain what will happen next, but when lava interacts with water it can cause explosive eruptions.
. . .
Swanson said that while researchers have never observed water on the caldera floor before, there are Native Hawaiian chants that describe the presence of ponds appearing just before explosive events.
“It’s really not scientific evidence but it nonetheless enhances the interpretation,” Swanson said.

Magnetic plasma pulses excited by UK-size swirls in the solar atmosphere
Date: August 5, 2019
Source: University of Sheffield
Summary: Scientists have discovered previously undetected observational evidence of frequent energetic wave pulses the size of the UK, transporting energy from the solar surface to the higher solar atmosphere.
“The energy flux carried by the Alfvén pulses we detected now are estimated to be more than 10 times higher than that needed for heating the local upper solar chromosphere,” said Dr Jiajia Liu, postdoctoral research associate.
“The chromosphere is a relatively thin layer between the solar surface and the extremely hot corona. The solar chromosphere appears as a red ring around the Sun during total solar eclipses.”

Skylab was the first space station launched and operated by NASA
British mathematician Desmond King-Hele of the Royal Aircraft Establishment predicted in 1973 that Skylab would de-orbit and crash to Earth in 1979, sooner than NASA’s forecast, because of increased solar activity.[141] Greater-than-expected solar activity[144] heated the outer layers of Earth’s atmosphere and increased drag on Skylab. By late 1977, NORAD also forecast a reentry in mid-1979;[140] a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist criticized NASA for using an inaccurate model for the second most-intense sunspot cycle in a century, and for ignoring NOAA predictions published in 1976.[145]

LIVING AND WORKING IN SPACE: A HISTORY OF SKYLAB
19
WHAT GOES UP . . .
[363] Critics of manned spaceflight tried to make capital of the discrepancy between NASA’s predictions and those of NOAA, but in fact no single method of predicting sunspot activity was universally accepted by solar scientists. (Ironically, Skylab’s own results-unavailable in 1974- would eventually contribute to refining those methods.) All were based on analysis of historical data. NASA’s scientists used more observations and predicted less sunspot activity than their counterparts at NOAA. Sargent and his colleagues insisted that some of the very early (17th century) observations that NASA used were unreliable and reduced the accuracy of the predictions. The space agency had ignored the forecasts NOAA published in 1976, leading some cynics to attribute self-serving motives to the forecasters at Marshall: since Huntsville still had thoughts of using Skylab somehow, it was not in their center’s interest to acknowledge that the space station might fall to earth before it could be rescued.7 Since no such proposals were ever formalized, the simpler explanation-that Skylab was simply forgotten in the press of more urgent business-is equally credible.

Plain Language Summary
Longwave radiation, often referred to as “thermal” or “infrared” radiation, emitted downward by Earth’s atmosphere is a primary contributor to the surface energy budget. Numerous studies have invoked longwave radiation as a driver of surface warming. This paper shows that this line of reasoning fails to account for the strong control surface temperature exerts on longwave radiation. Using radiative kernels, matrices that quantify the longwave radiation response to a climate perturbation (like global warming), we argue that any surface temperature anomaly will generate a downward longwave radiation response. This constitutes a feedback between the Earth’s surface and its atmosphere. The kernels show large longwave responses to perturbations in the lowest part of the atmosphere and almost no response to perturbations at high levels; by vertically integrating the kernels, we can ignore the vertical structure of climate perturbations. Using this modification, we predict the longwave radiation response to a warming world using only the surface changes. Our prediction agrees with climate model output, suggesting that the longwave radiation response is determined primarily by surface temperature. Further, the cloud contribution to changes in longwave radiation is small. These results provide clarity on how changes in the surface energy budget should be analyzed. [bold added]

Our Sun’s Mysterious 11-Year Cycle Appears to Be Driven by Alignment of The Planets
1 JUN 2019
Every 11 years, the Sun cycles through from riotous flare and sunspot activity to a quieter period, before ramping up again. It’s almost as regular as clockwork, and for years astronomers have been wondering what causes it. Now, they’ve proposed a new solution.
Even though the Solar System’s planets are much smaller than the Sun, the gravity of some of them is able to influence our star’s magnetic field. This, the researchers assert, is what controls the solar cycle.
Venus, Earth, and Jupiter assert a small gravitational tug on the Sun as they orbit it. The result is comparable to the way the Moon’s gravity influences Earth’s tides, producing a regularly timed ebb and flow.
The team has traced back 1,000 years of solar cycles, between the years 1000 and 2009 CE, comparing that data against the movements of the planets in that time. They found an impressively strong link between the two.
“There is an astonishingly high level of concordance: what we see is complete parallelism with the planets over the course of 90 cycles,” said physicist Frank Stefani of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany.
“Everything points to a clocked process.”
What the team found is that the tidal forces are strongest when Earth, Venus, and Jupiter align, and that this alignment occurs every 11.07 years – falling at the same time as the solar minimum.

The dark sides of extrasolar planets share surprisingly similar temperatures
A new study by McGill University astronomers has found that the temperature on the nightsides of different hot Jupiters is surprisingly uniform, suggesting the dark side of these massive gaseous planets have clouds made of minerals and rocks.
Using data from the Spitzer Space and the Hubble Space telescopes, the researchers from the McGill Space Institute found that the nightside temperature of 12 hot Jupiters they studied was about 800°C.
. . .
“Atmospheric circulation models predicted that nightside temperatures should vary much more than they do,” said Dylan Keating, a Physics Ph.D. student under the supervision of McGill professor Nicolas Cowan. “This is really surprising because the planets we studied all receive different amounts of irradiation from their host stars and the dayside temperatures among them varies by almost 1700°C.”

REGIONAL PARTICULARITIES OF THE METONIC
METEOROLOGICAL CYCLE ON EARTH [2016]
Ion Isaia
Key words: Metonic astronomical cycle, multiples of the Metonic cycle,
atmospheric tides, Rossby waves, 19-year cycles of air temperature.
Abstract. This paper intends to demonstrate that, on Terra’s surface, there are cycles
of air’s temperature and of other meteorological elements having a duration of 19
years (the Metonic cycle). These 19-year cycles are recorded on every continent,
especially in temperate climate areas where the (planetary) Rossby waves exhibit
very clearly. As in the case of other cycles of meteorological elements, the
atmospheric tides play a very important role in their occurrence. In the case of this
cycle, the atmospheric tides are also generated mainly by Moon’s and Sun’s
attraction.

It’s not aurora, it’s STEVE
by University of Alaska Fairbanks
“The big thing is, we can clearly say now it’s not regular aurora,” said University of Alaska Fairbanks researcher Don Hampton, a co-author on the paper. “It’s a new phenomenon, that’s pretty exciting.”

New climate model for the IPCC
by Alfred Wegener Institute
For the low emission scenario (445 ppm CO2 in 2100), there will need to be concerted efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the rise in mean global temperature to within 2 °C; with the high emission scenario (1142 ppm CO2 in 2100) it’s assumed that no measures are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, so that according to the present model the mean global temperature will rise by circa 5 °C.

Making sense of Saturn’s impossible rotation
by Larry O’hanlon, American Geophysical Union
Change the plasma seasonally, and you change the period of the radio emissions, which is what is seen on Saturn.
The new model provides a solution to the puzzle of Saturn’s impossible changing rotation periods. It also shows that the observed periods are not the rotation period of Saturn’s core, which remains unmeasured.

All comets in the solar system might come from the same place
by Bryce Benda, Leiden University
And that origin is somewhere close to our young Sun, when it was still encircled by a protoplanetary disc and our planets were still forming. The model suggests a zone around the Sun, inside the range where carbon monoxide becomes ice—relatively far away from the nucleus of the young Sun.

Geochemists measure new composition of Earth’s mantle
As the material below the Azores rises from very deep within Earth’s mantle—and is unexpectedly similar to most of its upper part—the composition of Earth’s entire mantle may differ from current thinking. “Our results have opened up a new perspective,” says Andreas Stracke, “because we will now have to reassess the composition of the largest part of the Earth—after all, Earth’s mantle accounts for over 80 percent of Earth’s volume.” The study has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

oldbrew,
I have put up a post at my blog site that show that a recent passage of a Kelvin Wave across the equatorial Pacific ocean (between September 8th and 17th) has set off a series of 6 weak tropical storms + 1 Hurricane (located at ~ 15 degrees N latitude) that have cumulatively produced a westerly wind flow on their southern flanks, which has suddenly killed the easterly trade winds as far east as the central Pacific ocean (longitude 160 W).
https://astroclimateconnection.blogspot.com/2019/09/tropical-storms-in-equatorial-pacific.html
This particular Equatorial Kelvin Wave (EKW) event may not be strong enough to initiate an El Nino event but events like it could be responsible for doing so.
If this is the case then my previous post:
https://astroclimateconnection.blogspot.com/2019/09/a-lunar-tidal-mechanism-for-generating.html
claims that EKWs are being generated by the interaction between maxima in the lunar atmospheric /oceanic tides with minima in the diurnal sea-level pressure variations in the tropics.
If this is correct, my latest post would imply that the lunar tides must play a crucial role in initiating the Westerly Wind Bursts (WWBs) in the western equatorial Pacific ocean that are directly responsible for weakening the easterly equatorial trade winds that help trigger El Nino events.

Dust from a giant asteroid crash caused an ancient ice age
About 466 million years ago, long before the age of the dinosaurs, the Earth froze. The seas began to ice over at the Earth’s poles, and the new range of temperatures around the planet set the stage for a boom of new species evolving. The cause of this ice age was a mystery, until now: a new study in Science Advances argues that the ice age was caused by global cooling, triggered by extra dust in the atmosphere from a giant asteroid collision in outer space.

Alarmists: Ireland Heading for ‘Climate Change Apocalypse’ by 2050
As of this writing, there has not been a single documented case of a person being killed by carbon dioxide related “global warming,” whereas real pollution of air, water, and land is killing an average of 25,000 people every day across the globe.
Although environmental Green activists like to talk of “carbon pollution,” in point of fact carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant at all. CO2 is colorless, odorless and completely non-toxic. Plants depend on it to live and grow, and human beings draw some into their lungs with every breath they take.
Growers regularly pump CO2 into greenhouses, raising levels to three times that of the natural environment, to produce stronger, greener, healthier plants.
Moreover, current levels of carbon dioxide concentration in the environment are substantially lower than they have been during earlier periods in the planet’s history. Without human intervention, the concentration of CO2 has climbed as high as 7,000 parts per million (ppm) in prior eras, whereas at present the concentration is just over 400 ppm.

ANOTHER GREEN CON: FLAWED TESTS INFLATE RANGE OF ELECTRIC CARS
Date: 21/09/19The Times
The system used to test electric cars should be overhauled because it exaggerates their range by up to a third, the government has been told.
Few vehicles can travel further than 200 miles on a single charge, despite many manufacturers advertising far higher distances.
Experts say that more accurate figures would help to address “range anxiety” — fears that the battery will run out of power too soon — and improve sales.

Facebook Removed False Label After Scientists Said Climate ‘Alarmist’ Fact Checkers Are Targeting Them
— Facebook removed a fact check after climate scientists said a partisan fact-checking group the company uses is defaming them.
— Another Facebook fact checker came under criticism after nixing an editorial from a pair of climatologists about the problems with climate models.
— “Facebook is on a slippery slope,” one of the scientists said, referring to the company’s decision to allow supposedly partisan fact checkers to squash legitimate forms of science.
The decision comes shortly after scientists Caleb Rossiter and Patrick Michaels argued their point in a Sept. 10 letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. They said in the letter that Facebook used a partisan fact-check group to defame them.

Hurricane Lorenzo heads towards UK with strong winds and heavy rain
Sunday 29 Sep 2019
The Met Office said there was a potential for Lorenzo to bring strong winds and flooding and described the weather system as a ‘real beast’.
Hurricane Lorenzo has strengthened into a Category 5 storm in the central Atlantic Ocean, making it the strongest storm ever observed so far north and east in the Atlantic basin.
The US National Hurricane Centre said late yesterday night the storm has maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (257 kph).
