@freemo So, are the instances warring city-states without a king?

#climate #weather
North America has the Pacific plumes spouting a fountain of cold on us. I am surprised that the Europe cold blob keeps moving. The Guard headline: Met Office predicts more high winds and flooding as ‘atrocious’ weather continues

@freemo thank you. I just get the impression of 'small town-ism' where everything is blocked, that they don't want to hear.

@atomicpoet No big business has ever survived a fall in margins. Ever fibre of their being started with the margin.

Sea levels rise

You can see that the sea level at Boston is constantly rising. NASA will bury deep down that 'absolute sea level' is not rising. I always used to call that sea level. I am not stating what is going on here.

@derickflorian I'm funny because I am an old Canadian who has seen it all. I sit on the old-man bench in town. On my one side sits Jeff who keeps trying to give poor people Amazon stock. I keep whacking him on the head. On my other side sits Elon who gives people a dollar bill and then snatches it from their hand. I leave him alone.

@derickflorian I'd send you some bitcoin to cover it, but I seem to have lost my wallet...

@derickflorian Great, where do I send it? :)

The Stable Earth

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/11/221116150633.htm

The concept of 'Total Disaster' requires instability. The fact that we are here, making fun of Musk, is that the Earth is stable. This is just one of many stabilizing mechanisms that I have found, and that require more physics in the field.

State of the oceans update
#weather #climate #australia
I normally wait for the ocean current report, but I won't do video here. La Nina is no longer the little sister and has become bigger than El Nino. That's very sexist, anyway. Continuing to call it La Nina is equivalent to calling an M9 a microearthquake I am constantly looking for any sign that the Pacific Cold Phase is going away. This type of ocean current change can last for decades or centuries. Poor Australians can continue to grow mushrooms in their hair for the next 300 years. I now suspect this sort of thing was behind the Little Ice Age.

This is the nice news of the week.

Arctic route freezes again

They may have to close this early for the next decade.

Physics weather
#weather #climate
The Pacific plumes are holding, as they scoop cold air down on NA. Once the pattern holds, it could stay for a month or two. The Europe cold blob appears to have stopped.

Texas earthquake
#earthquake
Just an extension earthquake, but they continue to get bigger and bigger.

@atomicpoet Yes, none of my kids read. Nobody clicks on the articles. :)

South Africa rainy
#weather #climate
I had looked at the historical records and SA was very rainy during the 70's cold cycle.

They join Australia in the La Nina Follies.

Interesting. There was so little activity this morning that I feared I may have been cancelled. I'll check again tomorrow.

Programming the Game of Earth
#physics #weather #climate
All basic physics action is now in games. Nobody bowls, plays billiards, throws snowballs, etc. It's all noses to the screen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream
The Jet Stream is the biggest physics error in conventional weather forecasting. It is plotted with the particle motions of a river, but the particle motions are circular at a tilt. Jet planes can sail this to get East faster. It's like tacking into the wind in a sailboat. This would be an effect when you let your game run, like explosions.
