question

What modulates our Sun? The majority of science work on the principle that the Sun is self modulating and each solar cycle is a product of a random number generator. There are others that suspect the Sun is modulated by the planets with a special emphasis on Uranus & Neptune. Thanks to Carl Smith who has recently left us we have new knowledge that significantly adds to Jose, Landscheidt & Charvàtovà's work.

Czech-Republic – Snow in mid-May 2021 – Milling the road to Labska bouda in the Giant Mountains – Credit Milos Salek.png

“There is really an extreme amount of snow,” said Aleš Hnízdo, operations director of Labská bouda in the Giant Mountains.

The surroundings of labská Bouda in the giant mountains remain covered with a large layer of snow even in mid-May. The situation is being exploited by cross-country skiers.

There is even so much snow that even a snow blower was unable to bite through the huge barriers to the Elbe shed.

“According to driver Jaroslav Palivoda, who has been milling the road for 37 years, he has experienced this only three or four times in all those years.

On Thursday, the snow blower finally bit through the snow barriers at the Hanče and Vrbata mounds.

CANDACE OWENS: Greta Thunberg Is Nothing But A Pawn For The Left

IceAgeNow - Mon, 05/17/2021 - 15:10

“Revealed as a young woman who is part of calculating, intentional, and contrived political apparatus.”
________

Here are excerpts from an article by Candace Owens entitled: “Greta Thunberg Is Nothing But A Pawn For The Left”:

“For years, the world has been led to believe that Greta Thunberg, (the 18-year-old climate activist who’d become a darling of the far-Left for her radical positions on climate change), is just an innocent child. If you believed the media’s portrayal, she was nothing but an impassioned little girl in pigtails, so scared about the future of the planet that she dropped out of school to dedicate herself fully to the environmental cause. Any person who questioned Thunberg’s remarkable rise to prominence was immediately stonewalled. After all, who would dare question the intentions of a child? In 2019, TIME magazine even named her the most influential person in the world.” 

“But this tool kit, and her “Freudian tweet,” pulled back the curtain, revealing Greta to be far from some indiscriminate, independent activist — but rather a young woman who is part of calculating, intentional, and contrived political apparatus.”

(The “tool kit” Candace is referring to?)
“Thunberg was being taken to task by citizens of India for a rather amusing blunder. She had accidentally tweeted out a “tool kit,” that was intended for her eyes only. The contents included a step-by-step guide instructing her to draw attention to farmer protests in India through various social media measures.

“This “tool kit,” which was not intended for public view and was quickly scrubbed from her feed, revealed specific dates that Greta was instructed to tweet and post to Instagram in an effort to inspire outrage in a country in which she does not live, regarding a cause she presumably knows little about.

“Prominent Indians were sickened by what they perceived to be a globalist effort to destabilize their country.”

“Anyone with a thinking brain figured this out long ago. But thinking brains were in short supply on the Left while Donald Trump was in office. Completely blinded by their obsession with hating Trump, any person who opposed him was quickly elevated, whether their credentials warranted such status or not. Virtually anyone ascribing to the “Orange Man Bad” philosophy was propped up, heaped with praise, and hailed as a hero, without any further analysis of their qualifications or motivations.

“And so Greta, who at times seemed more opposed to Trump than climate change itself, quickly climbed the ranks with each scathing one-liner sent the President’s way.

“This rise to prominence would be shocking if it weren’t now a routine occurrence in the Leftist echo chamber. For four years, the Left propped up any and every person willing to oppose Donald Trump, with a direct correlation seen between the fervor of their hatred and the rapidity of their climb.

“You see, the reason Greta is important isn’t because of who she is, but because of what she represents. Thunberg is the embodiment of the woke activist portrayed by the media as an up-by-the-bootstraps, ideologically pure hero. In reality, she is like so many before her — little more than a pawn in the Left’s larger game. ”

So thank you, Greta. Your tool kit has made a real difference. Just not in the way you or your co-conspirators intended.

124 Retired Generals, Military Officers Warn of Conflict Between Marxism and ‘Constitutional Freedom’

IceAgeNow - Mon, 05/17/2021 - 13:15

“We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776.”
__________

More than 120 retired U.S. generals and admirals signed an open letter warning that the United States is embroiled in an existential fight and urged “all citizens” to get involved in local and state politics.

“We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty,” states the letter (pdf), which was signed by 124 former military leaders, released by “Flag Officers 4 America.”

Commonsense controls are now labeled ‘racist’

“Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs, verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls ‘racist’ in an attempt to avoid having fair and honest elections,” the letter states.

According to the Flag Officers 4 America website, it’s a group of former military leaders who “pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,” whether “domestic” or “foreign.”

Of note, signatories of the letter include retired Army Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc—a Senate candidate in New Hampshire, retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin, and retired Vice Adm. John Poindexter—who was the deputy national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan.

“China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically, and technologically. We must impose more sanctions and restrictions to impede their world domination goal and protect America’s interests,” the letter says.

Other threats they listed include the United States reentering the Iran nuclear deal, illegal immigration, and the stoppage of the Keystone XL Pipeline project. President Joe Biden issued an order halting the pipeline project early in his presidency.

Meanwhile, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the retired military leaders said that lockdown orders affecting schools and businesses are tantamount to “population control actions.”

Meanwhile, in France, dozens of retired generals were sanctioned after they recently sent a letter warning about a possible civil war over the “protection of our civilizational values.” They blamed France’s leadership for not dealing with what they described as unfettered immigration into the country.

Whales trapped by ice in the Arctic – unprecedented since the icy 1980s

IceAgeNow - Sun, 05/16/2021 - 13:14

Fifty beluga whales are stuck in Penkigngei Bay. Presumably, they have been in ice captivity since January, but specialists saw them only in April. The animals are fed and constantly monitored.

Hopefully, the Beluga whales, stuck in ice captivity in Chukotka can soon escape as thermometers began to rise and the ice begins to melt. However, when the fast ice will completely melt is still impossible to say – perhaps in 10 days – or perhaps this may happen at the end of May, the press service of the Beringia National Park reports .

According to a zoologist specializing in marine mammals, Grigory Tsidulko, beluga whales are active swimmers, thanks to which the polynya remained open and continues to expand.

They have already eaten most of the fish they could catch in the 4 months in the trap

Tsidulko believes that there is a chance of survival, since Arctic animals are adapted to periods without food. Currently, they live on fat reserves stored in summer and fall, and scientists feed them as well. Although the fish stocks of the Senyavinsky Strait are sufficient for the survival of belugas in summer, they have already eaten most of the fish they could catch in the 4 months in the trap.

In 1984, a large-scale tragedy occurred – several thousand beluga whales were stuck in ice captivity. Throughout the winter and spring, local residents used chainsaws to prevent the hole from closing. An icebreaker was even called to help the animals, but most of the belugas did not follow him and died.

Chukotka, Russia, is located in the extreme northeastern portion of Siberia.

Pacaya Volcano Eruption in Guatemala – Videos

IceAgeNow - Sun, 05/16/2021 - 12:39

The 2,500-meter (8,200-foot) volcano that lies 25 km the south of Guatemala City has been erupting for 50 days, damaging plantations, destroying buildings, roadways, trees, vegetation – everything in the lava’s path.

31 Mar 2021 – Pacaya is expelling ash up to 500 meters from its crater, located 2.5 km southwest of the cone, the vulcanology institute said in a statement. The activity has produced a lava flow 2.2 km long on the west flank of the volcano.

7 May 2021 – Lava flows from the Pacaya Volcano in San Vicente Pacaya,  Guatemala. The current eruption is effusive, with lava releasing to the ground, as opposed to an explosive eruption.

The volcano has been active since early February.

Huge lava eruption in Iceland – Videos

IceAgeNow - Sun, 05/16/2021 - 12:23

Geldingadalur Volcano Eruption (May 15, 2021)

The lava fountaining episodes at the active vent at Fagradalsfjall continue pretty regularly. Now the episodes and the intervals between each eruption are shorter than before, with the fountaining phase lasting for 1-3 minutes, and pauses between each episode about 3-4 minutes long.

Lava jets are just a bit shorter in height than previously, but wider at the same time. The fountains generally reach 250 meters in height in average during the strong sustained phase, but sometimes can reach 350 meters in height during the most energetic episodes.

The construction of a wall to prevent lava flowing in Nátthagi began yesterday.

Hypocrisy Rules!

Man-made global warming is known as Anthropogenic. But is it? And is it really getting warmer?

____________

Hypocrisy Rules!

Lyn Jenkins

Man-made global warming is known as Anthropogenic. But is it? And is it really getting warmer?

Global warning was not anthropogenic in the Mediaeval Warm Period, circa AD 1000 when the Vikings farmed Greenland.

Nor was it so when the Romans were in Britain. They left here in AD 410 , having grown grapes in what is now Yorkshire in Northern England. That cannot be done today. Too cold.

Temperatures are really trending down!

The Arctic area snow mass on LAND is mainly on Greenland.

One thing is sure, the level of the Adriatic in Venice is similar to where it was 300 years ago. Look at the water levels around the Venice churches built in the 1700s.

The Adriatic is open to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, so the sea will find its own level.

So why is this happening in the U.K.?

Diesel/Petrol manufacturing of cars will be banned in 2030, in favour of electric vehicles[EVs] .

Check gridwatch.co.uk and note wind-generated electricity for UK.

It averages 6000MW and can be as low as 95MW under High Pressure. The UK is small and narrow compared to US. So one large high over UK covers most of the country ,which is much less than 250 miles in width in most places. So most wind turbines stop!!

There are 40 million vehicles in UK. If 30 million become EVs of the size of Nissan Leaf[ one of the smallest ], they would need a 5kW charge for 8 hours to fully charge the 40kWh battery, to drive 150 miles a day . That totals 150,000,000 kW = 150,000 MW.

So if 30 million EVs average just a quarter of the mileage…..37.5 miles a day ……they would still need 150,000MW for 2 hours each day for just a partial charge, would they not?

The UK also needs 55000MW for homes, offices, factories ,hotels, HOSPITALS etc , in winter.

So where is this 205,000 MW going to come from once we shut fossil fuel power stations? We have moth-balled our coal power stations……..but they have been needed since January 2021 in cold spells when the wind has dropped.

Meanwhile, Germany has a lot of solar energy and wind turbines in the North……. but note how much reliable German electricity comes from hard coal and filthy brown coal [ lignite] to make their tens of millions of diesel/petrol cars for export to the world, including the Guardian readers and greenies of the U.K. !!

Enter “gridwatch templar, Germany ” into Google to find out the truth !

Rocky Mountain National Park – Third deepest snowpack on record

IceAgeNow - Fri, 05/14/2021 - 09:43

“You won’t hear about this in the mainstream media,” says reader Ryan. “Colorado front range already has more moisture than all of last year, yet all you hear is drought.”

___________

“Almost record snowpack in Rocky Mountain National Park because it’s been cool so far, and a lot of snow,” says Ryan. “It’s Mid May by the way, and you won’t hear about this. I had to look for it specifically.”

Bear Lake in RMNP still has 58 inches of snow on the ground; third deepest snowpack on record

“Only” third deepest.

However it’s due to chilly conditions, not necessarily snowfall, though there has been snow too recently for sure. Colorado front range already has more moisture than all of last year, yet all you hear is drought. Maybe since it’s been wet in the East, they are desperate for drought somewhere.

Did magnetic excursion cause Neanderthal extinction?

IceAgeNow - Fri, 05/14/2021 - 09:09


That’s exactly what I said in both Not by Fire but by Ice and Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps. Now here’s a video exploring that very question.
___________

This video by Anton Petrov explores the Laschamp magnetic reversal of 42,000 years ago, which lasted anywhere from 400 years to 1,000 years.

Petrov asserts that magnetic reversals occur every 300,000 years or so but then gives a nod to magnetic excursions, which take place much more often.

(I’m inclined to think magnetic excursions take place about every 11,500 years. And that they do it in sync with precession of the equinoxes.)

During an excursion, the earth’s magnetic-field strength declines precipitously, which allows carbon-14 and  beryllium-10 to bombard our planet, says Petrov.

(I talk about that beryllium-10 in both “Not by Fire but by Ice” and “Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps,” because I think the increase in radioactive materials inundating our atmosphere leads not only to extinctions, but to an increase in mutations and thence to evolutionary leaps.)

According to Petrov, the earth’s magnetic-field strength at that time declined to only five to ten percent of what we have today (I agree), and lasted for several centuries. Now, pointing to what is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly where magnetic field-strength has declined, he sees a similar thing happening on earth today.

That decline, which is well-documented, has already been enough to have destroyed a Japanese satellite.

“Even flying in an airplane is going to become extremely dangerous.”

“We know, without the magnetic field to protect our planet, that the satellite technology and a lot of aerospace industries are going to be basically impossible to maintain,” says Petrov. “Even flying in an airplane is going to become extremely dangerous.”

Petrov then ties the magnetic excursion of 42,000 years ago to the extinction of several megafauna (large animal) species in Australia at the time, pointing to the huge increase in ultraviolet UV) light, which, he says, is damaging to many kinds of cells.

The upshot of all this?

Maybe, just maybe, we are now headed for an excursion event, warns Petrov.

“This is perhaps something we might want to start preparing for – just in case.”

I agree that we should start preparing.

Think about it. How could a dramatic increase in radioactive materials raining down on our planet NOT lead to extinctions?

How could a dramatic increase in radioactivity bombarding our bodies – and the bodies of all living species – NOT lead to mutations and evolutionary leaps?

Trouble is, I’m not exactly sure how we begin preparing.

…………………….

What does Wikipedia have to say about this?

According to Wikipedia, the Laschamps excursion occurred 41,400 (±2,000) years ago during the end of the Last Glacial Period; it was first recognised from a geomagnetic excursion discovered c. 1969 in the Laschamps lava flows in the Clermont-Ferrand district of France.[1]

The magnetic excursion has since been demonstrated in geological archives from many parts of the world.[2] The magnetic field was reversed for approximately 440 years, with the transition from the normal field lasting approximately 250 years. The reversed field was 75% weaker, whereas the strength dropped to only 5% of the current strength during the transition. This reduction in geomagnetic field strength resulted in more cosmic rays reaching the Earth, causing greater production of the cosmogenic isotopes beryllium 10 and carbon 14.[3]

The Australian Research Council is funding research to analyze a kauri tree uncovered in New Zealand in 2019. According to its carbon-dating, the tree was alive during the event (41,000–42,500 years ago).[4][5]

The geomagnetic field was at low levels from 42,200–41,500 years ago. This period of low magnetic field has been termed the Adams Event or Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event, a tribute to science fiction writer Douglas Adams, who wrote in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that “42” was the answer to life, the universe, and everything.[6][7] During this period, Earth’s magnetic field dropped to below 6% of the current level, Carbon 14 production increased, ozone levels decreased, and atmospheric circulation changed.[8] This loss of the geomagnetic shield was also claimed to have caused the extinction of Australian megafauna, the extinction of the Neanderthals, and the appearance of cave art.[9][10][11] However, the lack of corroborating evidence of a causal link between the Laschamps event and population bottlenecks of many megafauna species and the relatively moderate radio-isotopic changes during the event have cast significant doubt on the real impact of the Laschamps event on global environmental changes [12]

Record Cold in North Carolina Piedmont

IceAgeNow - Thu, 05/13/2021 - 06:31


Breaks record set in 1960
_____________

“Late-season chill sets record at RDU before gradual warm up,” read the headline on May 8.

“At 4:08 AM the temperature dropped to 37° in #Raleigh,” said WRAL meteorologist Zack Maloch. “It’s quite chilly for May and we broke the Record Low that was previously 40° set in 1960.”

“It really feels chilly,” said WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. “It wouldn’t be out of the question to see a little bit of frost near the Virginia line.”

“(It was) a record-breaking day for cooler temperatures in the Triangle. The coolest high temperature on record at RDU for Ma 12 was broken on Wednesday, when temperatures only reached 57 degrees. The previous high temperature was 58 degrees in 1960.

“This was record-breaking miserable weather,” said WRAL meteorologist Kat Campbell. “At times, we were 30 degrees below our normal high in the upper 70s.”

The upside to the rain and chilly temperatures is that pollen levels are low, according to Campbell.

Colorado Springs sets snowfall record

IceAgeNow - Wed, 05/12/2021 - 10:23

Winter weather advisory. Unseasonably cold and snowy weather.

______________

A winter weather advisory was in effect in Colorado Springs until noon Tuesday as wet roadways were expected to be slick, with a chance of snow likely throughout the morning, the National Weather in Pueblo said.

Record-setting May snow

Monday broke the May 10 record amount of snow with a total 1.1 inches of powder measured in Colorado Springs. The record snowfall for May 10 was half an inch in 2006.

Areas near Peterson Air Force Base measured 2.6 inches over the same 24 hours, the weather service said.

Some schools across the region were off to delayed starts due to the unseasonably cold and snowy weather, including schools in Peyton and Pikes Peak BOCES/School of Excellence in Calhan closed Tuesday due to muddy road conditions. The Calhan School District RJ-1 also closed but high schools in the district switched to remote learning Tuesday.

List of closings and delays here

A 60% chance of snow was likely before 11 a.m. with rain and snow possible until 4 p.m., then likely later in the day. Accumulation was not likely to surpass half an inch, the agency said.

Tuesday’s high was not expected to make it beyond 36 degrees, the weather service said.

Rain and snow were likely to continue before 10 p.m. with chances of precipitation around 40% and moisture amounting to less than a tenth of an inch, the agency said.

Overnight temperatures were expected to hit a low of 31 degrees, the agency said.

When will these “COVID-Vaccines” become APPROVED ?

Label states “For use under Emergency Use Authorization,” but it does not say “approved.”

“You may wonder ‘What gives?’,” says Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser.  “Yes, that’s exactly what I’m asking, too.”

When will these “COVID-Vaccines” become APPROVED ?

Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser

The mainstream media (radio, TV, newspapers) are full of reports of the successes of COVID-19 “vaccines” in reducing the number of new “cases” here and in many other jurisdictions.

However, to this date none of those “mRNA-type vaccines” (like from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Novavax) and, perhaps, other manufacturers/providers) have received an unequivocal “stamp of approval” by any government entity (e.g., the U.S. Centers for Disease Control [CDC] and U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA]), or by Canada, or by Europe’s EMA (European Medicines Agency).

The pictures nearby will show that. Read the label carefully (shown in the enlargement):

Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine vial label stating “For use under Emergency Use Authorization”- Source WikipediaA Case in Point

On May 5, 2021, in the CTV News, Canada’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. T. Tam, spoke of “authorized” vaccines — in contrast to other medicines (for other kinds of ailments) that are described as having been “approved” by the authorities for specific other kinds of ailments.

There is, certainly in many places, a misunderstanding between the (U.S.) legal terms for medicines/vaccines that are “Authorized” and those that are “Approved.” This differentiation is akin to the (U.S.) legal terms of “Agreement” and “Treaty.”

In both examples, the first is non-binding (or not subject to legal proceedings) but the latter is.

Regrettably, few journalists and politicians (especially outside the U.S.) seem to understand the differences. In common language parlance they appear to have identical meanings but not in “legalese” as common and binding language on this continent.

Other Example

Another example of the fierce competition in the field of COVID-19 vaccine developments, barely mentioned in western societies’ media, are products developed elsewhere. For example, the Sputnik vaccines developed in Russia on the basis of an approximately 70-year old proven (non-mRNA-type) vaccine technology, similar to the AstraZeneca product, barely ever gets mentioned.

Then there are at least three similar anti-COVID products currently available in China (with others still under development) and in other countries. Some countries have ordered millions of doses from their manufacturers. The Wall Street Journal website at https://www.wsj.com/articles/tracking-covid-19-vaccine-distribution-11611355360 provides some good graphics for international product comparisons.

The question is what’s the better/best long-lasting protection with the least amount of negative effects that is also able to defend against the rapidly evolving mutations (so-called variants) and potential future varieties?

Already, the CEO of the Pfizer group has stated that a third jab may be necessary and annual “vaxxings” thereafter. Of course, that is very reminiscent of past decades’ annual flu-shot recommendations here.

You may Wonder

You may wonder “What gives?”  Yes, that’s exactly what I’m asking, too.

Questions ought to be answered forthwith by the official health agencies’ representatives and not just with platitudes but with measurable “endpoints,” numbers, dates, and in formats that provide comparable data to other vaccine-like products and diseases (like the common seasonal flu). Answers are urgently required.

This is not a game of one-upmanship between the pharma giants but rather answers to question of long-term safety (especially also for young children and pregnant women) are of worldwide importance. For example, Norway’s National Institute of Public Health recently recommended stopping further use of one of the currently used injections there.

Long-term Safety Concerns

The long-term safety, efficacy and lack of “side-effects” (including deaths) of the anti-COVID-19 injections are much more important than benevolent ideas of setting-aside legal provisions for the protection of intellectual property and patent protections for the development and/or manufacture of such materials.

Even Pfizer’s own documents warn of a variety of known side effects and that non-vaxxed folks should stay away from those that have been injected with the company’s product. Clearly, there are global implications to such considerations.

Short of accepting, without question, any and all globalist ideas, claimed to be for “protection,” clear answers to those questions about long-term safety are urgently needed! Approval must rest on standard testing methods, procedures, and statistical analyses that should equally apply to all materials offered.

Nothing else will do!
