RECORD BREAKING COLD SWEEPS SOUTH KOREA — MULTIPLE CITIES SUFFER THEIR COLDEST-EVER TEMPS FEBRUARY 6, 2020 CAP ALLON “Cold wave alerts” remain in place for South Korea’s central and southern regions through Thursday, as multiple cities suffer their coldest days on record. Seoul’s low of -11.8C (10.8F) on Thursday marks the capital’s coldest reading of the winter so far, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), with the current freeze expected to extend into the weekend. Furthermore, and even more impressively, many central inland regions registered their lowest EVER recorded temps overnight Wednesday into Thursday — these include: Incheon’s low of -10C (14F). Suwon’s -11.9C (10.6F). Daejeon’s -10.5C (13.1F). Cheonan’s -12.8C (9F). And Cheongju’s -10C (14F). Again, just to clarify, the above are the coldest temperatures ever recorded for these towns and cities -for any day/month of the year– according to the KMA, and as originally reported by koreaherald.com. Icicles hang from a waterfall at Daegwallyeong Pass in the city of Gangneung on South Korea’s east coast on Feb. 6, 2020, as the country is gripped by a brutal cold wave. ( Yonhap) The mercury in mountainous areas such as Daegwallyeong and Cheorwon in Gangwon Province plunged even further, to as low as -24C (-11.2F) and -17.7C (0.1F), respectively. While the relatively warmer regions to the country’s south also recorded subzero temperatures, with Busan suffering -5C (23F), Ulsan -6.8C (19.8F), Gwangju -7C (19.4F), and Jeonju -9.2C (15.4F). In addition, the KMA has also revealed daily highs across the country have ranged between -4C and -5C of late — some 4C to 7C below the 30-year average. https://electroverse.net/record-breaking-cold-sweeps-south-korea-multiple-cities-suffer-their-coldest-ever-temps/

Parts of South Australia have just shivered through some of their coldest January days on record — with Adelaide missing out on beating its 1970 record by just 0.7C. The temperature at Adelaide’s West Terrace weather station reached just 16.6C on Sunday — about 13C below the average for the time of year, and below the city’s previous lowest January max temp on record, the 17.1C from 1970. However, because of the controversial way the BOM now measures Australia’s maximum temperatures “as the highest reading during the 24 hours to 9am each day,” an observation of 17.8C at Adelaide’s West Terrace site just before 9am on Monday has gone down as the official max for the 24 hour period. So Adelaide may have narrowly –and conveniently– missed out, but more than 25 locations across South Australia have just endured their coldest January days on record, as reported by www.adelaidenow.com.au and quietly logged by the BOM. Just look at the temp departures during the first week of the year: Temp departures, Jan 5thTemp departures, Jan 4thTemp departures, Jan 5thTemp departures, Jan 4th And looking forward, by mid-Jan vast portions of the country, particularly to the south and west, look set to suffer temperature departures some 20C below the seasonal average: There are far bigger contributing factors to the intensity of wildfires than temperature — trade winds being one, although the key issue this time around is likely the dire mismanagement of the forests. A myriad of controlled burns have been reduced in scope or even cancelled altogether over the past few months, as the greens have had their way. But facts like these matter little in the emotional debate that is climate change. Everything I’ve written above has little hope of competing against a photo of a burning koala bear. But regardless of any spin, the fact remains that Australia is currently anomalously cold. There can be no debate there. And so in what we’re being fed as a heat-induced climate Apocalypse, many locations down-under are currently the coldest they’ve ever been for the time of year. Predictably though, the MSM has remained silent. Instead, their front pages are dominated by that horde of self-centered, ill-informed puppets crying at the Golden Globes. THIS is the state of modern climate science: Thank God for Gervais: THE CHANGING JET STREAM Intensifying swings-in-extremes are in the weather forecast globally, for all of us, as historically low solar activity continues to weaken the jet stream, reverting its usual tight zonal flow to more of a wavy meridional one: And depending on what side of the jet stream you’re on, you’re either in for debilitating polar cold or anomalous tropical heat. Recently in the northern hemisphere, for example, the majority of North America is suffering well-below average temperatures, while much of Europe is experiencing unusually mild conditions. And in the southern hemisphere, it’s Australia’s turn to suffer anomalous cold, while South Africa currently bakes. The full picture is never revealed by the MSM, their agenda-driven reporting allows only for one side of the story — heat and drought. But the truth, regardless of what side of the jet stream you’re on, is that both of these setups can negatively impact crop production. And we’re already witnessing dramatic falls in yield and quality across the breadbaskets of the world — the price of wheat, for example, is now at a four-and-a-half year high, and rising fast. An intensification of this meridional jet stream flow is in all of our futures, and the phenomenon isn’t caused by increasing –and wholly beneficial– atmospheric CO2 levels. No, it isn’t you or me that’s causing this climate shift, it’s the sun — as it always has been: Overall, global average temperatures are falling in line with this historically low solar activity, and glacial advance has once again kicked-in. Heatwaves will always still occur –the evidence suggests they could even become more extreme– although the waves will be short lived and/or localized to regions residing ‘under’ the jet stream. Don’t fall for NOAA’s/the Met Office’s/the BOM’s politicized, warm-mongering, UHI-ignoring temperature datasets — our future is one of ever-descending COLD and CROP LOSS. Prepare accordingly — relocate if need be, and grow your own.> https://electroverse.net/25-locations-across-australia-just-set-their-coldest-january-days-ever/

HARVARD STUDY SHOWS DEEP OCEANS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING COLDER FEBRUARY 3, 2020 CAP ALLON A Harvard study has found that large parts of the deep Pacific are getting colder, likely the result of a climate phenomenon that occurred hundreds of years ago. Around the 17th century, Earth experienced a prolonged cooling period dubbed the Little Ice Age (LIA). The event brought chillier-than-average temperatures to much of the Northern Hemisphere, and was likely attributable to a multidecadal decline in solar activity. Though it’s been centuries since this all played out, researchers say the deep Pacific still appears to be responding to the LIA cool-down. The models suggest temperatures are dropping at a depth of 2km (1.2 miles) “Climate varies across all timescales,” said Peter Huybers, a professor at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “Some regional warming and cooling patterns, like the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period, are well known. Our goal was to develop a model of how the interior properties of the ocean respond to changes in surface climate.” The Medieval Warm Period lasted between the 9th and 12th centuries and warmed Earth’s climate to levels much higher than those witnessed today. It was followed not long after by the Little Ice Age, mid-1600s thru 1800s, which can be correlated to a sharp decrease in solar output as well as disruptions to ocean currents. The Little Ice Age brought cold intervals to Europe between mid-1600s to the 1800s. Rivers froze over — ‘frost fairs’ were held on the Thames According to researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Harvard University, this long-ago cooling period could still be showing its face in the temperatures of the deep ocean. To test this, the team compared measurements taken during the 1870s by scientists on the HMS Challenger to modern data. During the study in the late 1800s, the researchers of the time dropped thermometers deep down into the ocean between the years 1872 and 1876, collecting more than 5,000 measurements in total. “We screened this historical data for outliers and considered a variety of corrections associated with pressure effects on the thermometer and stretching of the hemp rope used for lowering thermometers,” Huybers said. The comparisons showed that in the deep Pacific Ocean, at a depth of around 2km (1.2 miles), temperatures are actually dropping. According to the team, this could influence our understanding of how much heat the ocean has absorbed in the last century, suggesting it could be as much as 30 percent less than previously assumed. “These findings increase the impetus for understanding the causes of the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age as a way for better understanding modern warming trends.” The new paper is published in the journal Science. ANOTHER COOLING PERIOD IS DUEIt’s more than likely that the modest warming Earth experienced from 1980 to 2010 was the result of natural causes — the correlating increase in solar activity being the obvious culprit. And now as our sun shows signs of entering another relative hibernation, as it did 400 years ago during the Maunder Minimum, it could be supposed another cold spell is on the cards. We’ve been trending cooler for around the last 10,000 years after all, since the end of the last full blow glacial period. There have been brief spikes of warmth — which have allowed civilizations of the day to flourish — however, the trend is clear, and the trend is down: Furthermore, the cold periods have been getting progressively colder — clearly visible in the GISP2 Ice Core data (above) — and there’s zero reason to expect this next one (forecast in red) to buck the trend. Our climate and the mechanisms controlling it are far too complex for us to fully understand at this point –be cautious of those professing to have all the answers and spouting “settled science” rhetoric– but if you put together what is known, and study it objectively, the data would suggest the next period of global cooling is now on the cards.

TEAM GRETA Admits Climate Change Has Nothing To Do With The EnvironmentPosted: December 5, 2019 \| Author: Jamie Spry \| Filed under: Climate Change, Climatism, Communism, Ecofascism, Greta Thunberg, Socialism, Sustainability \| Tags: Climate Change, Climatism, Communism, COP25, Global Warming, Green New Deal, Greta Thunberg, Madrid, Maurice Strong, Socialism, Soros, Sustainability, Team Greta, UN, UNEP \| 3 Comments Greta Thunberg – Child Soldier \| CLIMATISM “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution.” –– Christiana Figueres Fmr UN Climate Chief (UNFCCC) “We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.“ – Timothy Wirth, Fmr President of the UN Foundation *** AS a preface to this post, all future mentions of Greta Thunberg on this blog will be referred to as Team Greta. In my opinion, she is already being used enough by her adult handlers; parents, radical EU/UN eco-activists and the fawning mainstream media who have cultivated the 16 year-old with Aspergers and continue to use and abuse her as their child soldier. – – – – THERE is an old French proverb that says, “If you want the truth, ask a child.” TEAM Greta has certainly provided us with the truth as to what Global Warming aka Climate Change aka Climate Crisis aka Climate Emergency is really all about. Dismantling capitalism and ushering in a global system of socialism/communism, where the state decides what you think, what you say and how you are to live your life. IN a piece written by Team Greta, in Project Syndicate, the authors reaffirm that the “climate crisis” has little to do with the environment and identify precisely their intentions to “dismantle…colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression” … “the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all.” Why We Strike Again by Greta Thunberg, Luisa Neubauer and Angela Valenzuela – Project Syndicate WE are yet to be told what system would replace capitalism. However, one does not have to read far into the history of the environmental movement to work out which form of actual “oppression” would be their preference. * THE POLITICS OF POWERTHE political ramblings under the guise of environment of the likes of Team Greta are nothing new. The visibility has now been increased, thanks to her preadolescence, of the political motives that her adult handlers have avowed ever since the Global Warming Climate Change movement began its Jihad against free-market capitalism and democratic systems of government, coinciding with the breakdown of Communism at the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. * THE BUSINESS OF GLOBAL WARMINGTHE whole Global Warming Climate Change business. And it is a business. A $1.5 TRILLION per year, or $4 BILLION per day business, according to a 2015 figure by Climate Change Business Journal, was ignited by a United Nations bloke called Maurice Strong. THE Creator, Fabricator And Proponent Of Global Warming – Maurice Strong \| Climatism * STRONG founded the United Nations Environment Program ( UNEP) in 1972, at the same time making his millions as a businessman in the Alberta oil and mineral industries. No conflict of interest there. Cough, splutter. * CLEAR AND CONSISTENT MESSAGINGWHILST the names of Climate Change have oscillated wildly in the ~40 years since the movements inception, the language and business model has changed little. HERE’s a few of Strong’s early quotes. Most notably, those made during the 1992 Rio+20 Earth Summit (ECO92). The UN climate conference that set the wheels of Global Warming activism in motion : “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong, founder of UNEP “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.” – Maurice Strong Rio+20 Earth Summit 1992, founder of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)) “It is the responsibility of each human being today to choose between the force of darkness and the force of light. We must therefore transform our attitudes, and adopt a renewed respect for the superior laws of Divine Nature.” – Maurice Strong Rio+20 Earth Summit 1992, founder of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) * CLUES to eco-fascists, past and present, using the environment as a vehicle to continue the works of Communism, post Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), can be seen in the motives of the ’92 Rio+20 Earth Summit … VIA Wikipedia : Earth Summit was created as a response for Member States to cooperate together internationally on development issues after the Cold War. Due to issues relating to sustainability being too big for individual member states to handle, Earth Summit was held as a platform for other Member States to collaborate. Since the creation, many others in the field of sustainability show a similar development to the issues discussed in these conferences, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs). [1] Earth Summit – Wikipedia * UNFCCC & GLOBAL COMMUNISM UN Climate Chief Says Communism Is Best To Fight Global Warming \| Climatism * WHILE the mainstream media is careful not to expose the true intentions of the UN and its use of the environment and faux “Climate Crises” to upend democracy and capitalism, and install a system of global Communism, the UN remains unabashed. FORMER United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres stated in 2014 that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China, she said, is the best model … UN Climate Chief Says Communism Is Best To Fight Global Warming \| Climatism “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution.” –– Christiana Figueres Fmr UN Climate Chief (UNFCCC) * THE current UN climate chief, Antonio Guterres, reiterated the sentiments of former Chief, Figueres, almost verbatim at last years COP24 conference in Katowice, Poland … JWSpry on Twitter * ACCORDING to the UN, prosperity causes Global Warming, too … UN: Global prosperity is causing global warming \| The Daily Caller * CONSPIRACY THEORY ?IN case one is of the belief that this is just another ‘conspiracy theory‘ by ‘right wing climate deniers’, then perhaps this comment from the UN IPCC’s Dr Endenhofer will quell any discomfort … UN IPCC : Climate “Has Almost Nothing To Do With Environmental Policy.” \| Climatism *** CONCLUSIONWHATEVER your views are of capitalism, it is important that society and our children not be deceived by far Left eco-activist elites who are irreparably corrupting science and the scientific method by weaponising climate and weather. Using the environment as a vehicle to usher in their own dictatorial forms of rule – socialism, communism and fascism. ALL failed systems of genuine “oppression” that have seen so much death, destruction and misery wherever installed. CAREFUL what you wish for, Team Greta ! https://climatism.blog/2019/12/05/team-greta-admits-climate-change-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-environment/
