What's everyone think about the new climate research projects coming? My take on it is, if the climate ever quits changing I will contribute to that project. Otherwise it's just the warmers getting richer on fake science. Fine with me. What's the harm? WCG has other projects so no one is going to be forced to crunch on these. There are folks crunching on WCG who won't crunch the FAH projects because of their beliefs. Fine. Specifically to the climate change issue, I'm not really concerned if humans are causing it or not. If it is changing and that can adversely affect us, doesn't it make sense to try to understand how it is changing? Here's an out there thought - if we understand how climate change can happen, we might be able to use that knowledge to our benefit on Mars to begin terraforming it once we colonize it. Thinking in more practical terms, I've spent the bulk of my lifetime in the Atlanta area. In the last ten to fifteen years, I've seen more extreme weather here than in all the time before. Last year, we had our first ever tropical storm warning. It is a good five hour drive to the coast at freeway speeds. Five to ten inches of snow used to be unheard of here. Bad winter weather meant ice, sleet or freezing rain, not snow. Tornados are now almost as common in the southeast as in "Tornado Alley" in the Plains. To be honest though, if someone wants to know if the climate is changing, I think they would do best to talk to the folks in coastal Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. |

Solar Activity Flatlines: Weakest solar cycle in 200 years Anthony Watts / 2 days ago April 28, 2018 By Frank Bosse and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, No Tricks Zone In March our supplier of energy was more inactive than in the previous months. The sunspot number was only 2,5, which is only 8% of what is normal for this month into the average cycle (month 112).Only solar cycles 5 and 6 were weaker. A sunspot was detected only on 6 of 31 days. An observation made on April 10, 2018, allowed us to say that at approximately 30° southern heliospheric latitude the SDO solar research satellite saw a tiny spot (it was too small to be officially counted as a sunspot) that certainly belonged to the next approaching solar cycle no. 25. Sunspots are magnetic phenomena. The thermally conveyed plasma at the sun’s outer layer generates electric currents. Each of these currents produces a magnetic field. Depending on the direction of the current, the magnetic field is polarized and changes on the sun with each change of cycle. The SDO instrument is able to determine the polarity of the magnetic field for each sunspot, and provided this image:https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/04/28/solar-...solar-cycle-in-200-years/  |
