And here is insult to injury:
‘A 1% reduction in magnetic dipole moment may release up to ten times more CO2 from the surface ocean than is emitted by subaerial volcanism. This figure is dwarfed in front of anthropogenic CO2 emissions.’
So that is why the Arctic Sea Ice is on pace to break last years record melt: You have Industrial CO2 plus Magnetic Release CO2. That’s also why 1988 was the hottest on record.
Salt is hereby rubbed in the wounds.
I hate minimalists. They never to try to warn anybody about anything.
Not now, I’m in the middle of a Rothchilds!
I’d rather pack up and escape a Hurricane than sit there oblivious to what’s coming.
So, does this mean the Poles melt but we get to freeze our tootsies off a la Maunder?
Probably. Just remember that Winter is still the abscence of Sun, global warming or cooling.

The long pause and the failure of SC24 to advance itself means things have not stayed the same as the cycles of the 20th century. The isolated and weak sunspots that rarely appear these days plus the total lack of activity in the other indicatiors means something out of the ordinary IS happening.
Two bum cycles coming right up, would you like to SuperSize that order?

If you are french shouldn’t votre nom etre Noel. :)

Have a look at Climateaudit.org for more detail on Artic melt this year. Will not be as little left as 2007.

And someone here said that science is common sense. I’m afraid that is as wrong as you can get. I suggest an in dept read of quantum mechanics an atomic theory. Long, long way from common sense.

The other day his blog changed to paddling into the ‘Arctic Ice Pack’.
Geographical North Pole not mentioned. So Mr Lewis Gordon Pugh what is
the point [other than self gratification and Al Gore sycophancy] of your trip?

Ladurie leans heavily on records of vintage for Western Europe, which date back, in the case of some vineyards, to the thirteenth c.

What’s the difference? From 1900 to present, the only real difference is the amplitude of the oscillation. The Atlantic SST dipole varies about 2.75 times as much as the AMO.

I’ve scaled the two and their almost identical (not shown). I’ll post on this later today or tomorrow at my blogspot.

Magnetic effect on CO2 solubility in seawater: A possible link between geomagnetic field variations and climate. Authors- Alexander Pazur & Michael Winklhofer

Abstract
Correlations between geomagnetic-field and climate parameters have been suggested repeatedly, but possible links are controversially discussed. Here we test if weak (Earth-strength) magnetic fields can affect climatically relevant properties of seawater. We found the solubility of air in seawater to be by 15% lower under reduced magnetic-field (20 μT) compared to normal field conditions (50 μT). The magnetic-field effect on CO2 solubility is twice as large, from which we surmise that geomagnetic field variations modulate the carbon exchange between atmosphere and ocean. A 1% reduction in magnetic dipole moment may release up to ten times more CO2 from the surface ocean than is emitted by subaerial volcanism. This figure is dwarfed in front of anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

previsions of ips australian have change but stay very optimistic:

the global cooling will be begin

scuse for my english but im french lol

Well, they are party right, the world DOES end for quite a few people every year.

Question: For those of us who are convinced that the coming winter will be brutal, what is the best financial play? Agriculture futures?

I’d suggest heating oil futures. It’s a big, liquid market. But caution is in order when playing any futures market. You’re attempting to predict the future, right? That’s never easy. But if you’re still determined, keep in mind that this coming winter’s weather is already factored into the price, and in order to profit [assuming you're long the market], there will have to be a significantly colder winter than is generally expected, or an unforeseen event [like a new war in the Middle East, etc]. OTOH, a McCain victory along with simply the discussion of new drilling could result in declining prices despite the weather. Also, weather patterns could result in the northeast being unexpectedly warm, even if the planet’s climate continues to cool. You’re making a bet on the future. You never know for sure.

I’ve played these markets. I bet on interest rate spreads in the ’80′s. Made a lot of money on my first several trades. Thought I had it figured out. Next trade I bet even more money, and lost everything I’d made and then some. It’s not for sissies.

Keep in mind that futures are a zero-sum game. For every dollar made by someone, someone else loses a dollar. It’s not like the stock market, where if you buy the right company, and the company grows year after year, everybody makes money. Futures is win-lose. Very few win consistently over time.

Also, use options on futures. You can at least limit the risk to your bet. On raw futures, your risk is unlimited. Good luck.
