It is with deep sadness and shock that I inform you all, I have been diagnosed with Cancer.
A biopsy was taken of my broken Femur that shows these cells, of course I'll be Fighting it with all I have.
Thank you for your continued support.
David.

Wow, the Atlantic continues to cool, quite impressive given the hysteria over the 'SUPER EL NIÑO'

The UHI elevates temps at night and in the day, though if you put a thermometer in the middle of a large area of shade it will be cooler. Co2 has NOTHING to do with this and the only "man-made" is because of land used practices. Forests are huge cooling factories, and co2 sinks

First 11 days of summer for UK/Ireland has seen an increasingly cool & wet trend. In part poss down to MJO!
This shall continue into weekend but this pattern could begin to reverse starting next week.
Likely staying wetter W & N but drier/warmer S & E.
See tonight's video...

The ridiculous argument of 97% of scientists saying Man Made Climate Change is true.....its not, it's deliberately misleading, this is the data used ... proving that the entire study is promoted for political ends and nothing whatsoever to do with science…

Once again OND/NDJ seem to favour peak El Niño.

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.
Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.
The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

I firmly believe if you live in the UK, you abide by UK laws.
The end.

Climate is a great deal more complicated than MSM would have us believe!
No, I don't think so. The Atlantic Subpolar Gyre has experienced SST anomalies substantially colder than those observed today on numerous occasions between 1870 and 2026.
If the presence of a cold blob alone were sufficient evidence of a weakening or collapsing AMOC, then many of those earlier episodes should also have corresponded to major AMOC weakening events or even reversals-which is not supported by the observational record (at the meantime) . Most of that goes over the social media is (hype)⁹.
The following years rank among the coolest Subpolar Gyre SST states in my analysis (ordered from coolest to less cool): 1904, 1973, 1976, 1992, 1912, 1982, 1974, 1903, 1985, 1987, 1913, 1986, 1984, 1983, 1914, 1977, 1947, 1972, 1922, 1969, 1975, 1994, 2015, 1905, 1920, 1991, 1970, 1872, 1921, 1990, 1968, 1918, 1923, 1884, 1906, 2016, 1930, 1989, 1883, 1882, 1963, 1980, 1943.
A cold Subpolar Gyre may be consistent with a weaker AMOC, but it is not, by itself, definitive proof of AMOC weakening. Other oceanic and atmospheric processes can produce similar SST patterns.
The relationship is more nuanced than often portrayed on social media. attached is few example cold Atlantic subpolar gyre years and the heavens did Not fall to ground.

In other words, anything can happen and probably will
El Niño typically has a warming effect on global temperatures, with the strongest influence often felt in the year after it develops.
It typically brings wetter conditions to some regions and drought to others, though effects vary around the world.

Warming saves lives!
GLOBALLY, COLD KILLS 9 TIMES MORE THAN HEAT:
In other words, for every heat death that occurs from warming, 9 cold deaths get prevented!
Gardez bien en tête ce tableau, montrez le autour de vous. Le FROID tue près de 4,6 millions de personnes dans le monde chaque année !!!!
La chaleur elle, tue 490.000 personnes par an, et étrangement dans le continent le moins chaud de tous, mais où vivent la majorité des alarmistes climatiques.

The Jet Stream is in the wrong place for summer, maybe it’s just a coincidence, but the early May heatwaves of 1922 and 1944 were followed by a similar path. More to follow..
Latest CFSv2 weeklies are going with a cool June for much of UK/Ireland despite higher pressure/drier trend...

Hadsst amo index newest data fourier spectrum shows that last minimum ~ 71 years cycle was 1974-1984 ~ 1978 and maximum is 2010-2019~ 2014. Between min and max is ~ 1996 ( real middle 1994-1995).
Next min 2048-2051. Next between min/max is 2030-2034 ~ 2032. Then amo turn likely

An emeritus professor from the University of Oslo has submitted his annual report based exclusively on real observations & measurements, not on computer models. Result, temperatures fell slightly. This comes as no surprise to those of us who take notice of weather across the globe & not just in our own backyard.
Ein emeritierter Professor für Physische Geographie der Universität Oslo hat seinen jährlichen Bericht zum Zustand des Klimas vorgelegt – basierend ausschließlich auf realen Beobachtungen und Messungen, nicht auf Computermodellen. Ergebnis: Temperaturen sanken leicht.

Who's old enough to remember? when the money in your bank was safe, the only way to access it was by going into the branch, no online access, no fraud, no scammers.
And friendly cashiers, my how things have changed in such a short time!
