The 75,000 Mile Wide Hole In The Sun Could Black Out Earth’s Communications
The 75,000 Mile Wide Hole In The Sun Could Black Out Earth’s Communications The sunspot spotted by NASA as our sun creeps toward its solar minimum is 75,000 miles wide. That has huge implications for our satellites and communications systems, and the sunspot could cause some blackouts on Earth. The huge sunspot has the potential […]
Droughts, floods from weird jet stream linked to Arctic heat
Droughts, floods from weird jet stream linked to Arctic heat Something strange is going on, with more incidences of unprecedented heat waves, droughts and flooding happening in recent years, and based on the latest research, it’s looking more and more like climate change is to blame. The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on […]

February’s global temperature spike is a wake-up call
February’s global temperature spike is a wake-up call Global temperatures for February showed a disturbing and unprecedented upward spike. It was 1.35℃ warmer than the average February during the usual baseline period of 1951-1980, according to NASA data. This is the largest warm anomaly of any month since records began in 1880. It far exceeds the records set […]

If anything, the failure to communicate with modern technology is at the root of any serious disaster, including solar storms, nuclear war, or emp attacks. […]
2015: record hot or not?
2015: record hot or not? With the 2015 lower troposphere temperatures in, NASA and NOAA have declared without any caveats or doubts, that 2015 was the warmest year since records began. This short post updates my charts that compare satellite with surface thermometers temperatures. The differences between the two methodologies are in fact tiny and subtle. […]
