Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov Predicted This Ages Ago, Take Your Time News World

The recent snowfall has caused huge chaos across the country We are now on an unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop.

AS Britain shivers through the coldest Easter ever, experts say we could be heading for a new Ice Age.

Their frosty prediction comes as the Met Office has warned that temperatures will remain up to 10C below average until about April 20 – not just the UK, but in the rest of the world as well.

Experts have declared the start of 2013 the coldest for 208 years, and they reckon it could become a whole lot colder.

Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov from the St Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory claimed it is proof we are heading for a “mini Ice Age”.

He said: “We are now on an unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop.” According to Dr Abdussamatov, the Earth cools and warms in 200-year cycles.

The last big freeze, known as the Little Ice Age, ended in 1805.

And he claims the next freezing period for the Earth will begin next year.

Maybe The Mayan Calendar Was Spot On After All!

I'm not one for conspiracies and scaremongering but the timing of a new Mini Ice Age arriving and the Mayan calendar cycles can not be ignored. The Mayan's never predicted the end of time/ world, the Earth has been here for over 4billion years and will still be here long after us. The Mayan's predicted a time of change in terms of humanity and civilisation, clearly this is now true.

Dr. Piers Corbyn, astrophysics of weatheraction.com says welcome to the Mini Ice Age (MIA) could this be the planetary cycle which the Mayan's warned us about?







Coldest Easter on record for UK


The unseasonably cold weather has caused problems across the UK
Easter Sunday has been confirmed as the coldest Easter day on record, with the lowest temperature recorded as -12.5C in Braemar, in the Scottish Highlands.

The previous coldest Easter day since modern records began in 1960 was Easter Monday in 1986, which dipped to -9.8C, the Met Office said.

Average temperatures for this time of year are between 10C and 13C.

The prolonged cold spell covering the UK could last until mid-April, forecasters say.

Easter Monday is expected to remain very cold.

Easter itself is a moveable celebration which falls on the Sunday after the spring full moon, and can fall anywhere between 22 March and 25 April.

Only about 22% of Easters fall in March, a Met Office spokesman said.

The Easter record comes after the entire month of March was provisionally declared the coldest since 1962 in the UK.

The Met Office said that from 1 March to 26 March the UK mean temperature was 2.5C, which is three degrees below the long-term average.

Looking at individual nations, March 2013 is likely to be the fourth coldest on record for England, joint third coldest for Wales, joint eighth coldest for Scotland and sixth coldest for Northern Ireland.

The unseasonably wintry weather has caused problems in parts of the UK, including with electricity, farming and agriculture, and the road network.


TODAY'S EARTH PULSE UPDATES

No Temperature Rise In 20 Year! NOW CAN WE HAVE OUR TAXES BACK PLEASE......DUMMY'S

In a lengthy article this week, The Economist magazine said if climate scientists were credit-rating agencies, then climate sensitivity - the way climate reacts to changes in carbon-dioxide levels - would be on negative watch but not yet downgraded.

Another paper published by leading climate scientist James Hansen, the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, says the lower than expected temperature rise between 2000 and the present could be explained by increased emissions from burning coal.

For Hansen the pause is a fact, but it's good news that probably won't last.
International Panel on Climate Change chairman Rajendra Pachauri recently told The Weekend Australian the hiatus would have to last 30 to 40 years "at least" to break the long-term warming trend.

But the fact that global surface temperatures have not followed the expected global warming pattern is now widely accepted.

Research by Ed Hawkins of University of Reading shows surface temperatures since 2005 are already at the low end of the range projections derived from 20 climate models and if they remain flat, they will fall outside the models' range within a few years.

"The global temperature standstill shows that climate models are diverging from observations," says David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
"If we have not passed it already, we are on the threshold of global observations becoming incompatible with the consensus theory of climate change," he says.

Whitehouse argues that whatever has happened to make temperatures remain constant requires an explanation because the pause in temperature rise has occurred despite a sharp increase in global carbon emissions.

The Economist says the world has added roughly 100 billion tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010, about one-quarter of all the carbon dioxide put there by humans since 1750. This mismatch between rising greenhouse gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now, The Economist article says.
"But it does not mean global warming is a delusion." (Well.... yes it is) Coolist have known this for some time now...... the world is finally starting to wake up "Damion Hampton"

The fact is temperatures between 2000 and 2010 are still almost 1C above their level in the first decade of the 20th century.

"The mismatch might mean that for some unexplained reason there has been a temporary lag between more carbon dioxide and higher temperatures in 2000-2010.

"Or it might mean that the 1990s, when temperatures were rising fast, was the anomalous period."

The magazine explores a range of possible explanations including higher emissions of sulphur dioxide, the little understood impact of clouds and the circulation of heat into the deep ocean.
But it also points to an increasing body of research that suggests it may be that climate is responding to higher concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in ways that had not been properly understood before, "the ground is crumbling beneath the warmist feet."

"This possibility, if true, could have profound significance both for climate science and for environmental and social policy," the article says.

There are now a number of studies that predict future temperature rises as a result of man-made carbon dioxide emissions at well below the IPCC best estimate of about 3C over the century.

The upcoming IPCC report is expected to lift the maximum possible temperature increase to 6C.

The Research Council of Norway says in a non-peer-reviewed paper that the best estimate concludes there is a 90 per cent probability that doubling CO2 emissions will increase temperatures by only 1.2C to 2.9C, the most likely figure being 1.9C.
Another study based on the way the climate behaved about 20,000 years ago has given a best guess of 2.3C.

Other forecasts, accepted for publication, have reanalysed work cited by the IPCC but taken account of more recent temperature data and given a figure of between 1C and 3C.

The Economist says understanding which estimate is true is vital to getting the best response.

"If as conventional wisdom has it, global temperatures could rise by 3C or more in response to a doubling of emissions, then the correct response would be the one to which most of the world pays lip service; rein in the warming and the greenhouse gases causing it," the article says.

"If, however, temperatures are likely to rise by only 2 degrees Celsius in response to a doubling of carbon emissions (and if the likelihood of a 6 degrees Celsius is trivial) the calculation might change," it says.

"Perhaps the world should seek to adjust to (rather than stop) the greenhouse-gas splurge....OR realise its nothing to do with us!

"There is no point buying earthquake insurance if you don't live in an earthquake zone."

According to The Economist, "given the hiatus in warming and all the new evidence, a small reduction in estimates of climate sensitivity would seem to be justified." On face value, Hansen agrees the slowdown in global temperature rises can be seen as "good news".

But he is not ready to recalculate the Faustian bargain that weighs the future cost to humanity of continued carbon dioxide emissions.

Hansen argues that the impact of human carbon dioxide emissions has been masked by the sharp increase in coal use, primarily in China and India.

Increased particulate and nitrogen pollution has worked in the opposite direction of rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Another paper published in Geophysical Research Letters on research from the University of Colorado Boulder found small volcanoes, not more coal power stations in China, were responsible for the slowdown in global warming.

But this did not mean that climate change was not a problem.

"Emissions from volcanic gases go up and down, helping to cool or heat the planet, while greenhouse gases from human activity just continue to go up," author Ryan Neely says.

Hansen's bottom line is that increased short-term masking of greenhouse gas warming by fossil fuel particulate and nitrogen pollution represents a "doubling down" of the Faustian bargain, an increase in the stakes.

"The more we allow the Faustian debt to build, the more unmanageable the eventual consequences will be," he says.

Skier Buried Alive In Glencoe Avalanche - Scotland

Police are co-ordinating a search and rescue operation near Glencoe Ski Centre following reports of an avalanche.

One off-piste skier has been buried in the avalanche and mountain rescue teams have so far been unable to find him.

Emergency services were alerted to the avalanche close to the Glencoe Ski Centre just after 1pm.

Staff from the ski centre were helping mountain rescue teams in the search in an off-piste skiing area in the Etive Glades, Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team said.

RAF Lossiemouth and Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team were also involved in the search.

Glencoe Mountain Resort posted on its Facebook page: "(We) regret to say that an experienced off-piste skier skiing out of the ski area was caught in a major avalanche this afternoon.

"Mountain rescue teams and Glencoe Ski patrol have been on site for the last four hours."

Off-piste skiing, also referred to as "back country" skiing, involves the use of unofficial slopes which are not patrolled or maintained.

A forecast on the sportscotland Avalanche Information Service website yesterday placed Glencoe at "considerable risk" of an avalanche.

"The snowpack is moderately to poorly bonded on many steep slopes," it said.

"Triggering is possible, even from low additional loads, particularly on the indicated steep slopes. In some cases medium-sized, in isolated cases large-sized, natural avalanches are possible."

Mark Fulton, 25, from Gourock, Inverclyde, who was skiing all day with his family on the slopes at the Glencoe Ski Centre, said he saw the rescue mission unfolding.

"I was up there from about 10am and at lunchtime we went in to get something to eat at the cafe and we saw an emergency helicopter hovering about," he said.

"It looked as though it was coming in to land near the bottom of the hill. When we were leaving later I saw police and mountain rescue vans all gathered as well.

"I didn't actually know there had been an avalanche until I was driving home and heard it on the radio.

"It's just not something you think about when you're going out skiing, you never think something like that will happen to you - it's like when you get on a plane, you don't think it's going to crash.

"I just hope the person is found safe and well."

Glencoe Ski area, also known as Glencoe Mountain or the White Corries ski centre, is the oldest ski area in Scotland.

In January, four people died while descending the 3,658ft Bidean nam Bian near Glencoe. An avalanche struck without warning and swept them 1,000ft down the mountainside.

In the same month, 22-year-old Ben St Joseph, from Essex, died after falling 100 metres from Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis.

In February, three men survived falling 150 metres (450ft) in an avalanche in the Coire an t-Sneachda area of the Cairngorm mountain range.

The Warmists are desperate. Their cockamamie CO2 theory is proving to be a load of crap, as we skeptics have been stating for years.

The alarmists are now reduced to inventing fantasies about how the recent frigid weather is caused by melting arctic ice, which is warming the atmosphere aloft and pushing the jet stream south. This latest fairy tale is another not-so-clever attempt to prop up their asinine theory.

Given the abject failure of their climate models, perhaps we should begin referring to climatologists as “climastrologists.” Next, they’ll be reading Tarot Cards and gazing into crystal balls to arrive at their predictions. Who knows? Those methods might be an improvement.

Friday 29 March 2013

The Global Warmist can tell you what they like, it doesn't change what we feel and what real data tells us!

A MUST READ

Ice around the South Pole has expanded to cover a record area, scientists revealed yesterday – a month after saying that the North Pole had lost an unprecedented amount of its ice.

Researchers say – rather confusingly – that both occurrences are down to the ‘complex and surprising’ effects of global warming.

The record Antarctic sea ice cover was revealed in satellite images from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado.

September 26, 2012, when ice covered more of the Southern Ocean than at any other time in the satellite record.

Increase: At the end of the southern winter in September, ice covered 7.51million square miles of sea ¿ more than at any time since records began in 1979.

Growth: Ice around the South Pole has expanded to cover a record area. Emperor penguins are pictured on the ice
At the end of the southern winter in September, ice covered 7.51million square miles of sea – more than at any time since records began in 1979.

*For the last 30 years the amount of Antarctic sea ice has been increasing by 1 per cent each decade.*

While the rest of the world has been getting warmer over the last 50 years, large parts of the Eastern Antarctic have been getting cooler.

Scientists say a cooler Antarctic fits in with the unpredictable nature of climate change.......No, No it doesn't not, the climate can be predictable... If you know what your doing, Piers Corbyn has over a 86% accuracy rate, much better than the Met Office www.weatheraction.com

"So the warmest is saying that warming is causing cooling, this is Absurd," Piers Corbyn (2012.)

Rise: For the last 30 years the amount of Antarctic sea ice has been increasing by 1 per cent each decade......FACT

Bizarre: While the rest of the world has been getting warmer over the last 50 years, (no proof for this other than fiddled data) large parts of the Eastern Antarctic have been getting cooler, Dr. Ted Scambos, of the National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, said: ‘It sounds counterintuitive, but the Antarctic is part of the warming as well.’ (No, no it's not)

Dr Ted Maksym, of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, added: ‘A warming world can have complex and sometimes surprising consequences.’ Unlike the Arctic – which is open sea surrounded by land – the Antarctic is a massive continent surrounded by water. (Climate is still one system, regardless of how "feedback" affects it)

The area of land and the surrounding sea covered by ice peaks each September and retreats to its minimum in February – towards the end of the southern summer.

THE FIRST 3D MAP OF THE ANTARCTIC
"Scientists" OR policy makers? have produced the first three dimensional map of the surface beneath Antarctic sea ice, helping them better understand the impact of climate change on Antarctica.

The team of scientists from eight countries have used a robot submarine to chart a frozen and inverted world of mountains and valleys, allowing accurate measurements of the crucial thickness of Antarctic sea ice.

By combining the data with airborne measures of surface ice and snow, scientists can now accurately measure changes in ice thickness and better understand the affects of global warming.

An early version of the 3D map
'The ice thickness is regarded amongst climate scientists as the holy grail of determining changes in the system,' Antarctic marine glaciologist Jan Lieser said.

'If we can determine the change in the thickness of the sea ice we can estimate the rate of change that is due to global warming.'

In the Arctic, the amount of sea ice is governed by the temperature of the sea and air around it. A contradiction of information previously offered.

But in the Antarctic, what matters is the wind. Changes in the strength and directions of the wind over the last few decades appear to be pushing the ice further out to sea.

"Researchers" believe climate change has created a ‘wall of wind’ that keeps cool weather bottled up in Antarctica while the rest of the planet is warming.

Taken in March 2003, this image shows four British Antarctic Survey scientists being retrieved from research on sea ice in the Antarctic using a buoy.

Antarctic sunlight illuminating the surface of the sea ice in 2003, intensifying the effect of the fracture lines.

Temperatures at the South Pole are also being kept down by the hole in the ozone layer – caused by the release of now banned CFC gases from aerosols – which opens each year in the atmosphere.
The hole causes more westerly winds which, through a complex interaction between ice, sea and wind, lower temperatures.

Nasa chief scientist Dr Waleed Abdalati said the increase in Antarctic sea ice was dwarfed by the decline in Arctic sea ice.
Satellite images show the Arctic is losing 4 per cent each decade. (This is due to the procession of the equinoxe) Last month saw the summer ice cap of the Arctic shrink to a record low of 1.32million square miles.

For the last 30 years, the Arctic has been losing an average of 5.7 square miles of sea ice for every square mile gained in Antarctica.

(When the Arctic loses sea ice, Antarctica gains and vice versa, also, might I add that no melting sea ice will raise sea level as the weight has already been accounted for) it's like putting an ice cube in a glass of water and watching it melt, the level don't raise.

Dr Abdalati said: ‘The change in the Antarctic is nowhere near as substantial as what we see in the Arctic.....B**SH*T, But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be paying attention to it and talking about it.’
LIFE IN THE ANTARCTIC..... Jesus Christ

Researcher Ted Maksym is on the R.V. Aurora Australis (right) in the Antarctic conducting studies of the ice.
He is with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.

At well past midnight in Antarctica, where it's about 3 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 16 Celsius), Maksym describes in a rare ship-to-shore telephone call from the what this extra ice means in terms of climate change.

And what it's like to be out studying it for two months, with the nearest city 1,500 miles (2,415 kilometers) away.
'It's only you and the penguins,' he says. 'It's really a strikingly beautiful and stark landscape.

'Sometimes it's even an eerie kind of landscape.'

Scientists on the cruise with Maksym are spending eight to 12 hours a day on the ice.

Cracks in sea ice can form at any time, and a few days ago a sudden fissure stranded a team of scientists until an inflatable bridge rescued them.
'It's a treacherous landscape,' Vaughan says.

TODAY'S SATELLITE UPDATE

Nearly the first of April and we can clearly see the Jet Stream still locked over the UK and the US (this really is a first in living memory) it's not always easy to get this information out, but lets just keep trusting our technology, scientist and satellite data.



Warning from Piers Corbyn

Piers Corbyn has been warning the UK and UN governments for years about the coming Mini Ice Age MIA, now it seems it may be to late for some (refer to previous blog) GET READY FOR THE LITTLE ICE AGE.... Piers Corbyn says.

Thousands of Farm Animals Dead from Winter Weather

It is unclear how many animals are dead as most of the missing livestock are buried below thick blankets of snow. In some parts of counties Antrim and Down drifts have reached 20ft high.

The Ministry of Defence provided the helicopter after a request from Stormont's Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill.

Ms O'Neill said she will table the issue of providing special hardship payments for those affected in the power-sharing executive on Thursday.

The helicopter, carrying its first cargo of feed bales, set off on its relief mission after flying in from England this morning - beginning with some of the worst-hit areas in the Glens of Antrim.

A surveillance helicopter was also deployed in a bid to find missing livestock.


A tractor attempts to clear snow in the hills above the Glens in Antrim
Medication and basic food supplies like bread and milk have already been delivered by helicopter to people snowed in for days.

Ms O'Neill, who visited affected farmers in the Kilcoo area of Co Down, encouraged affected farmers to keep records of any livestock losses and additional expenditure incurred.

She said: "Having seen at first hand the impact of the extreme weather conditions in this area and in east Antrim, I sympathise with the farmers and rural communities affected and acknowledge the difficulties they face currently."


A tanker carrying gas supplies arrives at Milford Haven refinery in Wales
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers said: "The extreme weather conditions have had a devastating effect on Northern Ireland's farmers and it's absolutely vital that we provide any support we can."

More than 140,000 electricity customers who lost power when the wintry blast struck the eastern counties of the region last Thursday and Friday have had supply restored.

The Department for Regional Development said it had spent more than £80,000 trying to combat the adverse conditions, gritting around 4,350 miles of roads with 1,000 tonnes of salt.


Engineers fix a power line in Kintyre
A BT spokeswoman said the telecoms company had fixed close to 11,000 faults and damages since Friday but stressed that problems continued.

A police spokeswoman warned hill walkers that there was the risk of avalanches in the areas affected by the snow.

Meanwhile, the severe weather was blamed for the deaths of a number of birds, including puffins, razorbills and guillemots, which have washed up on Britain's beaches.

Hundreds of puffins washed up on the east coast, described as the worst puffin "wreck" in 50 years, and are likely to have died of starvation, according to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in Scotland.

The severe weather has also caused power cuts in Scotland.

Scottish and Southern Energy said two of its pylons were toppled by sheets of ice and snow over the weekend in the worst damage to the electricity network in 30 years.

Some 3,300 customers in Kintyre, Argyll, and on the Isle of Arran remained cut off overnight.


Power lines down in Arran off the west coast of Scotland
Meanwhile, the second of three tankers with gas supplies from Qatar has arrived in Wales - carrying 266,000 cubic metres of liquefied natural gas - as the unseasonal cold weather increases demand and the UK dips into its energy reserves.

Another is due to arrive on Friday, while a fourth which has already set sail from Trinidad is expected to reach the UK on Saturday.

The number of people without power has reduced substantially since Friday, when stormy conditions plunged 18,000 people into darkness on the west coast of Scotland.

About 400 engineers are continuing efforts to restore supplies, with a further 100 working in support offices and others on standby.


Weather forecast for Wednesday
ScottishPower says it has re-connected all of the affected properties in Galloway.

A ScottishPower spokesman said: "Our engineers have encountered some of the most difficult conditions they have ever faced attempting to restore supplies."

Emergency supplies and medical help have been delivered to communities by the Royal Navy search and rescue helicopter HMS Gannet, and the RNLI has taken milk and other essentials over to Arran by lifeboat.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for the public to be aware of snow showers that will continue to affect parts of central and eastern Scotland, eastern England and Northern Ireland.

Austrian Winter Damaging Agriculture

Farmers and drivers are worried about winter returning to Austria. As fields are covered in snow, farmers cannot plough the fields. This will lead to problems with summer crops.

A Siberian cold front is sweeping over many parts of Europe. Heavy snow is falling in Moscow, there are winter storms in the Ukraine and the ice-cold weather has paralysed the agriculture in Styria.

The long winter is stopping farmers from working on the fields. Summer crops are especially affected by this. According to Karl Mayer of the Styrian Chamber of Agriculture, the harvest could thus be severely affected.

Under normal weather conditions, the summer crops are sowed at the end of February. The latest possible time in the South is the first week of April and the second week of April in North Styria. But even these dates will not be possible this year.

The wet and cold weather also leads to the fact that fields cannot be driven on by tractors at the moment. This is why not only the sowing has to wait but also the fertilisation.

The farmers are also worried about the early potatoes, which have to be in the ground by the beginning of April but cannot be planted when there is frost.

The current negative affects of the weather have not had a big effect of the wine industry in Styria. It could even have a positive effect as the wine will grow fast if it is warm in April. Many diseases could thus be prevented, said Anton Kremser of the Chamber of Agriculture.

Jet Stream Still Locked Over UK

As you can clearly see the jet stream is still locked over the UK. Where is Spring? Some are starting to believe it will never come. As mentioned before we are enter what people have names the Mini Ice Age MIA, so these holding patterns will become more and more common. The temperature here in the UK is about 20C below average for this time of year.... not good. I will continue to blog the progress of the Jet Stream so, be sure to come back and check it out.
