What it says on the tin; a perspective for the silenced majority.
Keep in mind that until the last 30 years and the rapid replacement of the old world order by newspeak and spin - especially by Tony Blair in the UK, Bill Clinton in the USA, and the EU commission - fairy stories were introduced by the phrase "once upon a time", now they are introduced by "according to experts".
Most Freeview viewers will have seen the week of reception problems caused by recent high pressure over Northern Europe that gave us the Indian summer. I have not updated this post since the spring "tropo season", since there was nothing new to report. And barring unexpected developments, nor will there be - since this challenge is predicateble, measurable and explained (unlike the anthropogenic CO2 hypothesis). All the more reason to fume at those polticians and civil servants who ignored advice and still sold the crucial bandwith for mobile phone use.
So remember to check the European Tropo report page at ...
The map is showing red line for propagation on the 144MHz band (2m ham band) and Band4 UHF is 500-580Mhz - but the basic principles apply, and the ducting conditions that create extended range at 144MHz will also generally enhance 500MHz. If there is no tropo effect at 144MHz, there will be none at 500Mhz.
The current solar activity peak is adding to the excitement, with a startling display of Aurora that was visible even at mid lattitudes on September 12/13 - always a harbinger of challenging and complex radio propagation
In
the good old days of analogue TV coverage, it was simple to see if there
was "atmospheric interference" by thepatterning on the picture. And it
rarely ever got to the point where the whole program was trashed. The sound was generally barely affected ... and
viewers were prepapared to put up with a remarkable amount of patterning. Crucially, the clues that this was "obviously" co-channel interferencewere visible to all, and the process is very well described by Sheffield-basedaerialsandtv.com, a specialist supplier of curesand advice...
Old analogue UHF TV picture with co-channel patterning
But digital
is a different situation, it either all works or it is unwatchable - and the sound can be brutally chopped up, frequently with a blank screen with an unhelpful message telling you your TV signal has disappeared - as if you didn't already know.
There is very little degradation in the form of progressive loss between
perfect reception and total FUBAR. You have to delve deep into setup of
TV and STB to find the signal strength and quality reports – which are
pointless for most users anyway.
The big irritant with Freeview (UK Digital terrestrial television - DTT) interference is the time being wasted by people wondering what happened to
their TV picture when it breaks and disappears. Who or what is to blame? Nobody knows without checking the signals (and multiple channels) in multiple locations and posting results on a
website in real time, where people can visit to see if they are wasting their time - because the fault is totally out of viewer and broadcaster control when due to "transient" atmospheric conditions.
These atmospheric conditions are known as tropospheric ducting, which is brought about in the UK by static high pressure weather systems over Europe. An excellent technical description for nerds by an aussie radio ham (VK3FS) is available on YouTube...
Pixelated Freeviewing....
Many users of the Freeview
digital terrestrial TV broadcast platform, and its derivative YouView,
have found reception broken sporadically over the past few years.
Currently (spring 2023), bad reception on Freeview and other digital
terrestrial TV services is mostly affecting the South East - as the
interference is being ducted across from the near continent by
atmospheric conditions. A detailed description of the process is
available on the excellent ATV Website
No one said this was easy, and whilst we
sympathise with the challenge facing Freeview and it's broadcasters, the
government was warned this was going to happen well in advance - and
chose to ignore. Pixelation
break-up will tend to affect all DTT channels during periods of
interference, although the broadcasts are grouped on transmitters in
blocks called '"multiplexes". These operate on separate frequencies in
band 4 UHF, which is the remaining radio frequency spectrum previously occupied by
analogue UHF TV, after the sell-off to mobile networks.
Interference from foreign transmissions can be on any frequency, and it
may be scrambled up with many other signals that make it difficult to
identify precise sources.
Freeview and its partners are saying very little, since there is no cure other than "wait until it stops". The only other thing that is being said is "whatever you do, don't attempt to retune your receiver during these periods of interference"... as that can completely scramble the setup, and you will not be able to find out when normal service has been resumed. A full reset may be required.
Which does not impress the viewers denied access. And Ofcom does not want a baying mob at the gate demanding their licence fees back. Check the real time tropo propagation at...
The simple reality for one licence fee payer and "occasional" viewer...
Hmmm... that seems suspiciously like the sound of a can being kicked down the lane; with any luck, the conditions that caused the Freeview signal to be trashed will have moved on by the time the user has been put to more inconvenience of fiddling about, and he won't have the energy to pursue it further?
Reception has been getting progressively worse this year, compounded by the solar cycle reaching a peak with solar flux at a ten-year-high. Follow the sun at www.spaceweather.com - also the aurora visible around the world are predicted fairly reliably at this site ... which confirms that the sun may have more influence over our atmosphere than is recognised by our obsession with a trace gas that represents 0.04% of the atmosphere... of which the UK's annual contribution is around 1%.
So there have been days when Freeview simply does not work in affected areas. A brief warning posted on a Facebook group had a response within minutes: William Morrison said :- "Glad I saw this. All my non HD channels have been pixelating all week. Was going to buy a new tv today .."
And if people are buying new Freeview gear because of this, they may want compensation when the truth is exposed – a combination of a conspiracy of silence and the negligent choice of DTT and sale of essential spectrum. Dealers and manufacturers with stocks of Freeview equipment hav e a problem.
This was the first time we have seen the Freeview problem mentioned in the mainstream press! Yes, it’s a bit nerdy and we imagine Ofcom is keen that public attention is not drawn to the problem - because Ofcom sold UHF TV bandwidth for mobile phones, and there is now no room to manoeuvre – despite being warned this would happen.
There was communication with government at the time of analogue switch off, warning that DTTV wouldn’t work, and suggesting all effort went into Freesat, to creating a solution that would enable a whole house to be fed from a single single dish – which is a main benefit of DTTV over UHF. Satellite TV generally requires one dish and box per TV - multiroom solutions still seem to cost from £500. The future is IP (online) - as all UK broadcasting using wireless is being turned off and the radio spectrum sold.
It's looking like the forthcoming World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC-23) in Dubai may be another UN WEF contrivance to speed along the universal imposition of digital spyware, so that we "will own nothing and be happy" by forcing everyone to have a tracked and traced IP connection, Central Bank digital currency and social scores.
So there is now a big effort to herd all users to online and get all radio and television via broadband, where we can be further tracked, traced and controlled; but there is a green angle to consider... yes, summing up all the options, someone has shown that broadcast makes better use of energy than online. Don't tell Greta.
" The terrestrial distribution of television signals is currently more
efficient and less energy-consuming than IP-delivered content, a report
for the regulator Ofcom has found.
Although
it does not have statutory duties to consider environmental
sustainability issues, Ofcom’s report commissioned from Carnstone
recognises the importance of understanding factors which affect the
stakeholders.
For both OTT and DTT services, most of the energy
consumption is within the home rather than in the distribution system –
TV sets, viewing devices, and in-home networks account for 90% of the
energy used.
This includes devices within the home such as Wi-Fi
networks and set-top boxes that are usually left switched on, even if
their power consumption is relatively low.
Outside the home,
the network transmission uses six times more energy for OTT based on
current viewing volumes, though this is relatively low, and TV viewing
is deemed to be a relatively low source of emissions overall.
One
hour of viewing TV via terrestrial networks has an energy consumption of
9.1Wh whilst for streaming, this is 54Wh. In other words, viewing TV
for an hour is approximately the same as boiling water for around 3-4
cups of tea.
Networks have become more efficient overall, not by
reducing absolute energy consumption, but by serving more data traffic
with a similar amount of energy."
Here are latest preview pictures of the low energy 7G iPhone 19
Well done to the politicians and their experts for having the vision to take all the factors and issues into account, and get us to this moment...
TV streaming players are a poor "upgrade" to a Freeview PVR
You lose the option to record off-air on a Freeview or Youview PVR, that enables you to play back PVR recordings and recover the 15% of your (carefully tracked and analysed) leisure time that is being confiscated by broadcasters, and sold to advertisers without your permission. Then those advertisers add insult to injury by delivering commercials that portray a fantasy society - that bears only a passing resemblance to the UK demographic makeup - one that seems mostly to exist in the minds of politically correct marketing and media industries. Even the endless "pay now for your cremation" ads are "fully inclusive" ... maybe the NHS will include a commercial for prepaid cremation with each vaccine booster shot for the over 60s????
Moreover, the online players that deliver these commercials (ITVx, All4 etc) do not seem to work in many situations. After viewers have suffered the tedium of setting up their accounts, they will be delivered a commercial they didn't ask for, and then this message appears after the service crashes and fails to resume playing the programme:
The various "help" addresses on Twitter and elsewhere for Freeview, Youview and TalkTalk are epically frustrating, and only seem to exist to politely shoo away all users, by grinding them down in a battle wills... I will not bother to repeat the threads here - but rest assured everything has been taken down and will be used in evidence.
Meanwhile, the UK government is preparing to turn off all analogue radio tranmissions (AM: LW/MW FM:VHF) so we will all be stuck with the unskippable online ads, unless all commercial players follow ITV's lead and offer users the option to pay to buy back their time that would otherwise be wasted on commercials. Ironically the UK government's reason for doing this is so that the BBC licence fee can be dropped and the BBC will fund itself with differential charging for content... and may well also introduce advertising.
We would suggest one way to sweeten an otherwise bitter pill would be for broadcasters to share the advertising revenues with those forced to suffer commercials by using a reward scheme such IncenTV… "we reward you for interaction and responding to commercials"
Next move?
It is in the nature of this type of periodic atmospheric interference that it can disappear as quickly and as randomly as it appeared. At which point many of those with responsibility for the broadcast delivery chain will attempt to kick the can down the lane, and insist that the viewers imagined it all; or there are additional local factors for which no broadcaster has any responsibility or any control.
But rest assured, it can reoccur randomly when the atmospheric conditions are aligned, so the fundamental truth that the digital terrestrial broadcast platform is not fit for purpose, will not have changed. Maybe the 5 to 10 million affected premises should apply for the BBC licence fee to be returned? Plus the cost of antenna installations and hardware that has been bought?
Let's not allow "them" get away with this!
Are you a BBC licence
payer and a user of Freeview or Youview?
You may be entitled to
join a class action claim for refund of the past 3 years licence fees, and costs you have incurred
buying equipment and antenna installation services for a Freeview service that is frequently broken beyond the ability of Freeview to fix. Watch www.freeviewing.com for developments.
This is not a blog post on climate change denial - this sets out to explore how the zealous cult-like obsession with the barely scientific "Carbon" hypothesis may be dangerously obsessive, and that there are many more (measurable) factors at play. Most of which are well outside our ability to directly influence - or tax... or mainstream media to comprehend and report objectively. So let's start with a genuiinely indisputable fact: possibly the only one in all climate "science": The sun is still the ONLY significant source of warmth and energy in the solar system!
This video is from the very watchable Anton Petrov. He's giving a useful round up on Ice Ages and the sun's role with Milankovitch cycles - and then introduces the news that methane (CH4) levels have taken a dramatic surge. The best guess is that this is coming from decomposing wetlands in Africa. But given the significance of the surge, I would expect a lot of work to be going on to narrow down exactly what is going on. It may help explain the international focus on farming and the clumsy efforts to shut down advanced farms - where once again, fundamentally ignorant politicians are being wound up by fanatics, and being goaded to make barely researched decisions, with many unintended consequences. Maybe it would be more beneficial to turn agricultural farmland over to vast solar farms, and use the energy to incinerate the bodies of humans that will starved to death to meet WEF population requirements... (let's see just who reads this blog, eh? 😳)
https://youtu.be/72uza9JpT-I
The reference to Exxon's in house predicitons in the Science article is very much the sort of influential but under reported matter that may have been distracted and obfuscated by the climate lobby's irrational fixation with "carbon".
From Anton's video comments: Tundra permafrost melting is definitely a contributor too but from the data in the paper it seems the wetlands are adding larger amounts in comparison. Increase in farmland in countries like Brazil is a contributor too but it's not growing large enough compared to the data-This is the first study majorly addressing this, so it's still not clear what's happening. The methane data seems to be very robust and was reported in other papers using other observations so the jump is real-Methane correlates with solar activity as well (check out Neptune video below) and the Sun is becoming super active, so it may skew the data downward...suggesting the levels may go up even higher after 2026...maybe-CO2 is still an issue too and will be making things even worse. It's also what probably started all of this. Internal studies conducted by oil companies in the 1960s/1970s literally predicted all of this. They just cared about profits more: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0063 Neptune and methane: https://youtu.be/60z6fpFehyA

Atrum are one of the more observers who are sticking with the CO2 warming hypothesis, and making a brave effort to call for consensuson basics so we can at least agree the starting position and way points. But the list of unfulfilled scare prophecies from the Gore era have left too many cries of "Wolf!" reverberating around the echo chambers of carbon obsessives. Although cries of "polar bear!" may be more appropriate, since they are not extinct as once widely predicted, but still around 31k since 1980.

New study suggests global warming could be mostly an urban problem
It's over to the YouTube solar watcher - smAsho mAsh - for his daily report featuring a "lot of stuff" going on. With the Florida Hurricane making landfall and storm surge coming to coincide with a "super blue moon" that promises :
"A rare super blue moon will shine in the sky as August wraps up.
The month already featured a supermoon
as it began, but the second full supermoon of the month — which will
appear on Aug. 30 — will also be a blue moon. A blue moon is not
actually blue in color; the term signifies a second full moon within a
single month.
August's first full moon rose on Aug. 1 and was the
second of four consecutive supermoons. On average, supermoons are about
16% brighter than an average moon. They also appear bigger than the
average full moon. According to NASA,
it's similar to the size difference between a quarter and a nickel. The
phenomenon occurs when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth at the same
time the moon is full.
The Aug. 30 supermoon will appear to be even closer than the full
moon at the beginning of the month. The last of the four consecutive
supermoons this year will be the Sept. 28 "Harvest Moon."
So how far are we from solar maximum..?

SUNSPOTS MAKE CLOUDS ON NEPTUNE: A new paper published Aug. 17th in the research journal Icarus
offers dramatic proof that solar activity can affect planetary
weather. The big surprise: That planet is Neptune, 2.5 billion miles
from the sun. Twenty-six years of images taken by the Hubble Space
Telescope show bright clouds forming in sync with the 11-year solar
cycle:
The connection between Neptune and solar activity is surprising to planetary scientists because Neptune is our solar system's farthest major planet and receives only 0.1% of the sunlight Earth receives. Yet Neptune's cloudy weather seems to be driven by solar activity, and not the planet's four seasons, which each last approximately 40 years.
"This is extremely exciting and unexpected," says Erandi Chavez, a graduate student at Harvard-Smithsonian's Center for Astrophysics, who led the study when she was a student at UC Berkeley.
The research team confirmed Hubble's results using data from the Webb Space Telescope, the Keck Observatory, and the Lick Observatory. The link between sunspots and Neptune's clouds appears to be solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which peaks when sunspot counts are high.
For all that the Sun is a ubiquitous and vital part of our lives, a lot about it remains baffling. And it's continuing to surprise. Here material from a filament of plasma erupting from the Sun's surface broke away and appeared to form a crown-like vortex over the solar north pole.
A primary source of breaking space weather and solar news is @tamithaskov on Twitter, aka "Space Weather Woman" whose YouTube Channel is the go to for sun watchers looking to get a round up of current solar news. 04Aug23

Introduction....
An Essential primer - from a Channel 4 documentary made in 2007 - before the current (2023) climate hysteria had begun to peak.
https://youtu.be/oYhCQv5tNsQ
... The Great Global Warming Swindle caused controversy in the UK when it premiered March 8, 2007 on British Channel 4. A documentary, by British television producer Martin Durkin, which argues against the virtually unchallenged consensus that global warming is man-made. A statement from the makers of this film asserts that the scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming could very well be "the biggest scam of modern times."
According to Martin Durkin the chief cause of climate change is not human activity but changes in radiation from the sun. Some have called The Great Global Warming Swindle the definitive retort to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Using a comprehensive range of evidence it's claimed that warming over the past 300 years represents a natural recovery from a 'little ice age'.
According to the program humans do have an effect on climate but it's infinitesimally small compared with the vast natural forces which are constantly pushing global temperatures this way and that. From melting glaciers and rising sea levels, The Great Global Warming Swindle debunks the myths, and exposes what may well prove to be the darkest chapter in the history of mankind.
According to a group of leading scientists brought together by documentary maker Martin Durkin everything you've ever been told about global warming is probably untrue. Just as we've begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon, Durkin's documentary slays the whole premise of global warming:-
"Global warming has become a story of huge political significance; environmental activists using scare tactics to further their cause; scientists adding credence to secure billions of dollars in research money; politicians after headlines and a media happy to play along. No-one dares speak against it for risk of being unpopular, losing funds and jeopardizing careers."
The sun is also the source of Geomagnetic influence - and the earth's magnetic field or magnetosphere is hugely involved in the planet's ecology. But it is barely understood by probably 99% of the people who are currently stressing over "Carbon" - although the evidence of its existence is spectacularly visible at the polar Auroras. So I will provide a broad overview here - and please bear with my efforts to haul together the many and various components for this work in progress.
It is a vast subject that is so much more complex than the simplification offered by those seeking to curtail debate and impose their choice of mind control. So let's start by getting back to the basics - before manipulative spin doctors roamed the earth; these are the fundamentals that have applied since the birth of the universe and Solar system.
"... I’ve found that if one scratches the surface of a denier/contrarian/sceptic one almost always finds a very right wing personality that believes that climate science is strongly biased by a left wing ideology to make findings that support left wing ‘solutions’. Organs such as the rather right wing WSJ tend to spread opinions that, they hope, will counter the ‘closet socialism’ they believe is piggy-backing on, and exaggerating, climate science for ideological reasons...."
The bulk of this entry was written April 2022 - the trends described then have continued so there is nothing new to report other than pole migrations as normal. The poleshift guru and keeper of the runes - Gene Beards - has become quite excitable and wandered off piste into other aspects of "armageddon watch". He's not a happy bunny.... Track his mood at Poleshift News Central
Ponder this for a moment. The ultimate ease with which the hypothesis of climate change based on "carbon" has been established as a religious doctrine, complete with saints, sinners and heretics; and the numerous "greater good" excuses to curtail the use of free speech and open debate to explore and question the basic tenets. So at risk of excommunication I remind you that most "carbon worship" remains an act of faith expressed by congregations of (mostly) non-scientific believers; it is as much about science as Christianity is about turning water into wine. And just as religion refuses to be challenged to produce evidence of a God, we are told that we will be consumed in the flames of climate hell if we don't stop doubting, and believe unquestioningly in "carbon".
Climate has been a useful primer for how a compliant population can be gaslit and sold any number of other dubious propositions. Dissenters are suspended to contemplate the errors of their ways in woke limbo - and then persistent offenders are cancelled in woke purgatory. I wonder if governments used this experience when preparing the gaslit narratives for their pandemic sermons?
We really do need to look behind and deep into the nature of power and influence across politics and the media in the light of the staggering amount of "money" that has been conjured/printed since the 80s by a handful of governments, organisations and individuals; at the same time that traditional asset-backed currency and value was forgotten. The idea of social media "Social engineering" has been born from the fusion of propaganda and technology, and mostly monopolised by an unaccountable and unelected gaggle of "got lucky" investors - who were early to work out that the users are the product in a surveillance economy that gives social media platforms more direct control and influence of populations than governments. Leading to unholy alliances where "blind eyes" are turned to outrageous social media abuses in return for insights that even the Stasi would have been proud to extract with the benefit of thumbscrews and pentathal.
There is evidence of struggles deep in the bowels of the Washington "Swamp" and Westminster "Bubble", where populism is hated by politicians and uncivil servants who want to wrestle all influence and control of the "narrative" from the people. The most stark example of something seriously wrong is that someone as obviously unsuitable as Joe Biden is President of the United States. C'mon, get real US people: you voted for Biden because you had bought the MSM/Swamp/Bubble narrative that Trump was the orange Beelzebub, not because you believed that Biden/Harris was going to lead the world into a new age of enlightenment and bounty. You have been told to believe that you voted for Trump - although those postal votes and questionable voting machines were only "verified" by the same elites and media cliques that made up the rules and won big from a Biden victory, marking their own homework.
Meanwhile Boris Johnson has been hated and hounded by the UK liberal establishment and its compliant mainstream media cancel squads since before he was even elected. Even now Boris probably remains the people's choice in all respects other than his capacity to "reimagine" certain aspects of reality of what are relatively inconsequential matters. Winston Churchill would have not survived the same process of character assassination and sanctimonious analysis - and then we could have avoided wasting all that time and effort on WW2 and the EU - and gone straight to a Europe dominated by Germany. But the hyaenas eventually got Boris's scalp.
Watching GBN's Dan Wootton expose the climate crazies gluing themselves to the roads begs questions about who funds the eco movement that has indoctrinated the under 30s through our education system and especially the BBC. Remember those BBC fantasy images of polar bears drowning? Well there's been a polar bear population explosion in recent years, so in some parts of the Arctic you will be in more danger from being mauled by a marauding polar bear, than you are from climate change.
Here's a question to ask climate extinction zombies.. "what is the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere we are arguing about anyway?" Most people will suggest a figure over 5%, many think 20%. Very rarely will they know the answer to within even an order of magnitude, since it is an "inconvenient truth" that can arouse the critical faculties of even the most "conditioned zealot".
The answer is 0.04%, 4 parts per 10000, and it is a vital part of the growth of all things green through the process of photosynthesis. CO2 is even introduced into greenhouses for this purpose. The UK contributes just 1% to the global total, anyway. 1% of 0.04% - are you catching on?
We have been gaslit by CO2 speculation and paying unchallenged green taxes for long enough - so it's time for a blast of science and reality. Magnetic Pole migration geek - Gene Beards - runs a channel dedicated to observing the behaviour of the earth's magnetosphere... which is unquestionably and without doubt (or need for any act of pseudo-scientific faith) a direct consequence of solar activity interacting with the earth's molten iron core.
The refusal to accept conventional climate change wisdom based on evil CO2 is the religious equivalent of declaring that there is no God. But it is difficult to get those who (may) have been duped and invested so much in their "faith" to admit they have been fooled. Such is the missionary zeal of the Carbon lobby that it goes out of its way to intimidate converts to also be sure to attack any sign of dissent they come across. A polite disbelief in the absolute veracity of the cause leads straight to vicious accusations of being stubborn (evil!) conspiracy promoters. Many doubters are threatened with being "unfriended" (both on FB and real life) if we continue to choose to dissent. Scary Scientology moments.
"In the year 2000, NASA published information on its Earth
Observatory website about the Milankovitch Climate Theory, revealing
that the planet is, in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that
have absolutely nothing to do with human activity. But, again, this
information has yet to be accepted in the mainstream, some 22 years later, and sparsely informed zealots continue to claim that we really only have 18 months left before the planet dies from an excess of carbon dioxide (CO2).
A rather more enlightened reality includes multiple factors - including the research of Serbian
astrophysicist Milutin Milankovitch, after whom the Milankovitch
Climate Theory is named. It must be apparent to anyone that the climate changes by season - these seasonal and latitudinal
variations of solar radiance affect the earth in different ways, and
at different times, have the greatest impact on earth's changing
climate "as it happens" - not as the result of a long term accumulation of atmospheric inertia."
A lot of effort is invested by CO2 lobbyists when trying to debunk the inconvenient Milankovitch theory although since it contains a lot of indisputable fact, the debunking is limited to narrow interpretations. Once again, let's stress that climate is an accumulation of many interactive factors and observations that need to be intelligently aggregated - and not isolated to fit specific prejudices.
Whatever, this recent pole-shift video is one of his better backgrounders and explanations of why we should be taking more notice of events going on under our feet in the earth's core....
Here is a detailed April 22 sitrep:
Gene Beard's Cassandra act does not include "bedside manner" - and occasionally his obvious frustration strays into the sociology issues of a society that is not paying attention to his evidence-based campaign for his observations to be taken seriously. This next video is less about pole migration than the parlous state of world leadership...
We should all be trying to help Gene Beards who runs this channel "socialize" his campaign to bring attention to a climate change proposition backed by real science. The migration of the magnetic pole - and possibility of a complete reversal - is real and measurable.
The usual deep state CO2 lobbyists are aware of this, as it undermines their narrative, and so they try to dismiss it. They already know that they can promote the most precarious pseudo-scientific propaganda, and have it eagerly swallowed by the zombie woke. So why are there not more voices raised in scientific dissent? Remember what happened to the late Dr David Bellamy when he raised his doubts? A cheer leader for BBC climate change indoctrination is currently 95 year old National Treasure, Sir David Attenborough, who now does what he is told, and no longer mentions overpopulation after being something of a crusader a few years back...
Also remember that people will generally admit to be wrong when faced with the evidence, but they hate to admit to having been fooled. (Which may be the basis of all religious faith...)
This real science is based on observed solar activity and the capture of real data. It might seem obvious to anybody after a brief moment of thought that the biggest influence on climate throughout the whole of the solar system is that big round bright thing called the sun. It's been blasting out energy and particles for billions of years and it's what stripped the atmosphere from Mars to turn it from a potentially habitable planet with water oceans, into the present arid desert.
Nicolaus Copernicus, the 16th-century astronomer whose findings were
condemned by the Roman Catholic Church as heretical, was only recently reburied by
Polish priests as a hero nearly 500 years after he was laid
to rest in an unmarked grave. He had spent years labouring in his free time developing his theory,
which was condemned as heretical by the church because it removed
Earth and humanity from their central position in the universe. Now substitute the Roman Catholic Church by the new kids on the ecology block, whose faith in their interpretation of the climate scriptures, leads them to believe in much the same sort of direct action as the Spanish Inquisitors. Their version of Greta Thunberg was Tomás de Torquemada, and had his disciples had access to superglue, God Knows what would have been stuck where...
Back to the science... the difference between Mars and Earth is that Mars did not have a magnetic field to help shield it from the solar and cosmic particles - but earth has a complex magnetic shield structure, thanks to its molten iron core.
Magnets have poles ... and in the case of Earth, the magnetic North pole has been used for navigation using compasses for centuries. The magnetic North pole is not the same as the "true" north, and the divergence between true and magnetic North varies over time. The mechanism is fascinating and not too hard for anyone with an inquiring scientific mind to grasp. Have a Google.
"True north is a fixed point on the globe. Magnetic north is quite different. Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points to as it aligns with the Earth's magnetic field. What is interesting is that the magnetic North Pole shifts and changes over time in response to changes in the Earth's magnetic core. "
The earth's molten iron core is the basis of the magnetic field that interacts with the sun's influence to create a shield that deflects damaging particles that would otherwise strip the atmosphere in the same way that Mars lost its atmosphere.
This process is most dramatically visible in the form of the aurora (which are centred at the north and south pole) where the magnetic field lines excite gases in the atmosphere to show those spectacular moving colours.
So why does the climate vary over time in the form of seasons? The key factors are the variable nature of the orbit of earth around the sun which determines its distance from the sun, and the activity of the "solar dynamo" that creates a magnetic field in conjunction with the earth's molten iron core, that shields the earth from space radiation ...or not...
We have known for hundreds of years that there is an 11 year cycle involved in regulating the sun's activity levels - where this activity level is manifested in the number of sun spots visible on the solar disc. This can range from none - for quite long periods of time - to as many as 100 at peak solar activity.
Astonishingly, the sun's 11 year activity cycle has only recently been explained by reference to planetary tidal influences acting on the inner solar dynamo ... which raises a further interesting possibility that maybe astrologers really have some scientific basis for their craft? Dare I be contentious and suggest there is now more scientific evidence supporting a possible basis for astrology than there is for any religion?
The most obvious evidence that planets interact with the sun is simply that they stay in orbit around the sun, and have not spun off into deep space. Remember that the complex mysteries of gravity are at the core of Einstein and Hawking's work.
The question of how cosmic rays and magnetic storms can affect physiology as well as atmospheric effects like Jetstreams is it also important, given the obvious effects on animal and bird behaviour. Just as we know homing pigeons can lose their way during solar storms, there is some evidence that migraine sufferers respond to changes in magnetic field.
I realise all this is a lot to digest, but let's make the effort and take the opportunity to explore a potential climate misdirection conspiracy, and get to the bottom of what is really going on. We could start by giving Gene Beards some media training, and having him explain in a series of interviews just how close we are getting to a full magnetic reversal and what that means.
When the US Geological Survey is asked for an opinion, it says: "Almost certainly not." Soin the contest of absolute faith required by the Climate Inquisition - that's tantamount to a "maybe"!
Beards may be at little excitable, but he is entitled to be frustrated, having seen the pseudoscience of "carbon" getting away with murder for the past 10-years while his real data is overlooked - inconvenient truth that does not fit the narrative. And besides if it is true, no politician can do anything to change the process - although obviously there is a lot that could be done to estimate the potential consequences and develop contingency plans. Which are likely to to suggest the planet population should have been kept down a billion or so, to have any chance of mass relocation.
Don't forget, Beards has got real time evidence and scientific measurements to back his assertions. Dan Wootton has shown that the XR climate fanatics don't know about even the most basic aspects of the pseudo science they are using as an excuse to disrupt our lives.
When man can influence climate... there was one infamous event that provided a wake up call ...
On July 9, 1962, the US military detonated a thermonuclear warhead 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean–a test called “Starfish Prime.” What happened next surprised everyone. Witnesses from Hawaii to New Zealand reported auroras overhead, magnificent midnight “rainbow stripes” that tropical sky watchers had never seen before. Radios fell silent, then suddenly became noisy as streetlights went dark in Honolulu.
Essentially, Starfish Prime created an artificial solar storm complete with auroras, geomagnetic activity, and blackouts. Much of the chaos that night was caused by the electromagnetic pulse (EMP)–a ferocious burst of radiation that ionized the upper atmosphere. Ionized air over the Pacific pinned down Earth’s magnetic field, then let it go again when the ionization subsided. The rebound created a manmade geomagnetic storm for hundreds of miles around the blast zone.
...and here's a recent update from Gene Beard, the one man pole shift authority...
This is typical of the effort to restrict the debate... LinkedIn is now a waste of time anyway, so no great loss to be de-platformed. But this is clearly inconvenient for the "carbon" taxers, along with Germany now abandoning it's green virtue signalling in the face of economic reality. The discussions at least, are definitely "hotting up".
We have also known that there have been earth climate events associated with this activity level - notably the "little ice age" of the middle ages, which occurred during a period of especially low sunspot activity known as a "Grand Solar Minimum".
And this is how the German media is playing the the global warming gallery... 15 years apart and now we appear to be trapped in some sort of dystopian apocalyptic inferno. Run for your lives, everyone. Various defenders of the climate change faith do their best to call this of comparison "misleading"..."one is a heatmap, whereas in the other, colours have no meaning at all. So this is total bs."
But hopefully we are able to understand the psyops games being played?
And here's how alarmists might be influencing the measurements...
## This entry is growing somewhat larger than I originally planned...
If you have been following so far, well done, but you'll be wondering why so little mainstream attention is being given to what is potentially the most influential effect on our climate - while attention is focused on a hypothesis that has not been conclusively proved, and that is apparently more religion then science. Although God help anybody who dares to question the CO2 scriptures, such are the interests now vested in trying to maintain the "carbon bogey" narrative.
Maybe one explanation is that it is not possible for politicians to regulate or tax the sun?
Gene Beards deserves a wider appreciation of his work, and hopefully somebody at GB News - the UK's preferred (slightly) contrarian News TV/radio channel, will be willing to go the extra mile to understand and work with him. He's not quite Dr Magnus Pike showman material (showing my age again), but with a little work, he could match Greta in the exasperation stakes?
The speed at which the magnetic North pole is traversing is a very simple demonstration of a fundamental process taking place that could have a dramatic effect on climate in our life times. And it can be measured in real time.
There are people in governments who also understand this; which begins to explain some curious and contradictory behaviour going on in an effort to create misdirection. But the religious fervour that has been deployed to intimidate the heretics is such that hardly anybody dares question, for fear of being described as a conspiracist. Sadly, Dr David Bellamy is not around to ask.
The danger of being tagged as conspiracy theorist is obviously a challenge, but once you delve into the subject it's hard to explain the behaviour of governments and the powerful influencers in the shadows who seem to be spared mainstream media attention, while they pull the levers and trouser the cash...
The Hydrogen debate is developing nicely in this blog post: Here’s How Long It Takes To Fully Fill A Hydrogen Car in California with a Toyota Mirai where he explains how much it costs and how long it takes to fill up a hydrogen electric vehicle (HEV)
August 8th recent addition:
The real reason for medium-long term climate change according to Professor Of
Physics & Mathematics at Northumbria University & solar
physicist Valentina Zharkova.Valentina was one of the earliest solar observers to join up the dots around planetary alignment with solar dynbamo tidal effects and sunspot cycles. This discussion and presentation is an hour long, but well worth your time if you are serious about not wanting to be bamboozled (and bankrupted) by climate conspiracy and misinformation.
"Professor Of Physics & Mathematics at Northumbria University, Valentina Zharkova is a solar physicist who knows a lot about the sun. In fact, she is probably the world’s leading solar physicist.
Except that it’s all nonsense, because humans don’t influence Earth’s temperature.
The sun does."
This is complex but thoroughly explained fighting talk - which includes a swift dismissal of Greta Thunberg... but the bad news is that we are on the predicted track of a grand solar miniumum that is associated with global cooling events - the Dalton and Maunder minimums have been the most recent examples.
