Big Solar Flare Coming

Roy W. Spencer

A strong X-class solar flare lasting 5 hours has erupted on the sun, lifting a coronal mass ejection (CME) with an Earth-directed component (play the right-hand video in the link, 1st comment, to see the CME near the end of the clip). March is a peak month for auroras, and this should be a good one in the coming days.

... the flare was unusual in that it involved two widely-separated sunspots than became magnetically connected during the flare.

The Royal Cancer Shot

John Madric

Tragically, Princess Cate has cancer and is undergoing chemo. King Charles has pancreatic cancer and is also undergoing treatment. They were among the first apparently to be vaccinated. Cancers among vaccinated people is spiking rapidly (especially for young people), and the aggressive nature of the cancers is said to be unprecedented.

Carbon 14

Richard Cronin

The so-called "Seuss Effect” was the dubious ratio of Carbon 12 to Carbon 13 as indicative of human activity changing the mix of Carbon isotopes in our atmosphere. The central premise is that Carbon 14 should be constant or declining because man’s combustion of coal has been diluting the amount of atmospheric Carbon 14 naturally produced by cosmic ray bombardment. Carbon 14 decays to non-detectable (de minimus) quantities in 50,000 to 60,000 years. Ergo, coal beds were laid down millions of years ago and they should have no Carbon 14.

At least two items are wrong with these assumptions:

1) Carbon 14 produced by cosmic ray bombardment of Nitrogen 14 is not constant. Look up Miyake Events.

2) With analytic techniques not available to Charles Keeling, et al, Carbon 14 has been found in coal beds plus deep earth diamonds. These findings have been dismissed out of hand because they have been presented by those believing in the Biblical chronology of the Earth, which places Earth’s life in the thousands of years, not millions nor billions.

However, the presence of Carbon 14 in some of these deep Earth findings supports the concept of the GeoReactor put forward by Herndon, Tuttle, Ragavan, et al. A naturally-occurring Fast Neutron Breeder Reactor at the core of all major celestial bodies. Stars are ignited the same as a Hydrogen bomb. Fission igniting Fusion. K.P. Lin and colleagues have estimated the remaining life of the GeoReactor at approx. 2 billion years.

But don’t worry, as the Sun grows out into a Red Giant, in approx. 1 billion years our great, great, great, great grandchildren will all be crispy critters so the Warmists will finally get it correct.


Net Isotopic Signature of Atmospheric CO2 Sources and Sinks: No Change since the Little Ice Age

Tim adds:

Funny; I've read that much of the decline of carbon 14 was due to atmospheric nuclear bomb testing in the fifties and early sixties. Then suddenly they pulled this crap out of their posteriors and blamedit on industrial emissions diluting the carbon 14. I would add that the Grand Solar Maximum of the late '90's saw a dearth of cosmic rays and thus less c14 would have been created - just as Henirick Svensmark predicted (and the lack of cosmic rays caused there to be less cloud formation to reflect solar energy).

Now, with a quiet sun, we are seeing more c14 in the atmosphere again.

We did not have a baseline for C14 in the atmosphere thanks to those nuclear tests, which caused a big spike in c14. Prior to that we didn't really have all that good data on it.

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore Labs have shown the production of C14 in the atmosphere is natural. https:// www.llnl.gov/ article/42086/ atmospheric-carb on-14-measureme nts-reveal-natu ral-production- rate-cosmic-ray s

I wonder if these geniuses who are pushing climate change alarmism ever asked if the nuclear tests that created the c14 could be the cause of the small warming trend seen in the 20th and 21st centuries? Maybe it has nothing at all to do with industrial emissions? I suspect it was at the root of ozone decline in the latter 20th century (not CFC's which were blamed).

Certainly atmospheric testing creates nitrogen oxides, known greenhouse gases. Certainly gamma rays - which are emitted during an air-burst of a nuclear device - can damage the ozone.https:// phys.org/news/ 2014-12-role-gam ma-ray-life-ext inction.htmlThe ozone blocks radiation. So...if the ozone blocks radiation and we had a reduction in ozone perhaps it's been letting in more energy to the Earth?

At any rate, there are many factors involved here not considered or only mildly considered by the wizards of smart. They simply zeroed in on industrial emissions and that was that.

Democrat Judge Discovers SecondAmendment

Timothy Birdnow

A Democrat Federal judge in Illinois FINALLY found the Second Amendment actually does give us the right to own and carry firearms. And that mainly means ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Judge Sharon K. Coleman has suddenly discovered the right to keep and bear arms - but apparently that applies to lawbreakers and alien invaders and not to the American People.

Coleman dismissed charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores , who was arrested in 2020 for violating a federal law that prohibits undocumented immigrants from possessing guns. This is a first; a Democrat who is concerned about Second Amendment rights.

So people who have no right to even be here can carry agun, but not law-abiding Americans.

We do not let criminals possess firearms; illegal aliens are definitionally criminals.

This is how the Left works. They apply the prnciples of Sun Tzu "seize that which the enemy holds dear". In this case we hold our right to keep and bear arms dear, so they have seized it and given it to illegal aliens even while Illinois has some of the strictest gun control laws in America and heavily restricts the rights of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

This is just a way of rubbing Middle America's nose in their power.

Judge Coleman was appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.

So Goes Rome; A Special Place in Hell

Timothy Birdnow

Rome fell for reasons almost identical to conditions in the U.S. right now. They couldn't and wouldn't control their borders and were overrun by people who had no cultural ties to Rome nor allegiance to it.

When Odoacer took power the Eastern Emperor sent him the royal robe and other accutrements that would elevate him to emperor. He sent them back "no thanks" and that was the final end of the empire. Odoacer grew up in the Empire but was never Roman and didn't care about Roman things.

The Roman Empire had had no more Germanic barbarians invade than the current U.S.has aliens. We will meet the same fate.

This gives an estimate of the numbers of Germanic tribes that infiltrated the empire.

We are facing far more in terms of sheer numbers, especially now,but it's been going on for a long time. Large parts of the Southwest no longer speak English. In fact, the U.S. is the second largest Spanish speaking country on Earth now.

No culture can survive this (which is why the Left pushes it so hard; they want to break America down and rebuild her from scratch.)

Tied Kennedy changed the immigration laws in 1965, favoring non-Europeans. And at this same time border security - a high priority for both the Truman and Eisenhower Administrations - was thrown out. We've had sixty years of unrelenting immigration - legal and illegal - to America and at a time where our educational system has stopped actively promoting American culture and values. The end result has been a slow erosion of our culture. We are reaching a tipping point and at the same time any attempt to control the flow of people here has ended. Now we are being overrun by peoples with no ties to this country, no knowledge of American culture, no allegiance to our system and beliefs. This is how nations die.

These are our last days I fear. We have more immigrants in the U.S.than the entire population of Canada, and double that of Australia. In the last three years alone we've taken in more aliens than the entire population of all but nine states. This is the end unless we manage somehow to kick almost all of them out. And that won't happen as the Democrats and half the Republicans like this and want this.

There is a very special place in Hell for these politicians. In Dante's Inferno they were consigned to the lowest circle of Hell - Cocytus - where they are frozen in a filthy lake in Antenora, too cold to even cry. That is the place for traitors to kin and country. That is where our political class belongs.

Why War?

Timothy Birdnow

This from a Muslim Palestinian on Facebook:

Hoda Jannat

The dispersed gas fields on the coast of Lebanon
And Gaza coasts can make the Lebanese people and Gaza people live the life of the rich
But there are two countries that do not want stability in this particular region, Iran and Qatar
Why is that ? .. Because if the gas resources were extracted from the coasts of Lebanon, Gaza and Israel and exported to Europe near the distance, there would be no boundary for Qatar's liquefied gas and Iran would not have the ability to control poor Lebanon..
That's why Iran and Qatar are working to maintain instability in the region using the sheet of terrorist organizations such as Hez-----Bollah and Hamas
Imagine with me now how the life of Lebanese people would be if all the coastal gas fields were utilized?
What would Gaza be like if gas fields were exploited?
That's why Qatar supports Hamas and wants it to stay, because Hamas's survival means a state of instability and gas will never come out of Gaza shores...
The same is with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is supported by Iran for one purpose, which is to maintain chaos, weapons, instability and to defend its interests while negotiating the West.

Mars Attracts!

Timothy Birdnow

High time scientists started looking at gravitation perturbations from planetary alignment. It's been almost completely ignored. Richard Cronin has been stumping on this for years now:

Scientists have deduced that Mars' gravitational force, akin to that of the Sun and the Moon, exerts a discernible cyclic influence on Earth, albeit with a significantly protracted period of approximately 2.4 million years. They contend that while Mars' gravitational impact is not as profound as that of the Sun or the Moon, it nevertheless merits attention concerning Earth's climate dynamics.

However, I'm skeptical that the proposition of integrating this additional variable into contemporary climate models. The current models already contend with an abundance of variables, many of which are either disregarded or assigned assumed values that likely exert more substantial effects on predictive accuracy. Despite the imperative to expend this year's grant funds to sustain future funding opportunities, the feasibility and practicality of incorporating yet another variable remain questionable and highly unlikely.

Quoting: "A paper recently published in Nature Communications reports upon the work of scientists from the University of Sydney and Sorbonne University in France. The team used geological records from the deep sea and to their surprise found a connection between the astronomical grand cycles, global warming patterns and deep ocean circulation. They found a 2.4 million year waxing and waning of deep ocean currents and that seemed to link to increased climate."

"A definite link emerged but it should be noted that ocean currents are not the only cause of global temperature changes. The current temperature increases have a much stronger link to the human emission of greenhouse gasses. The paper was authored by Dr Adriana Dutkiewicz and Professor Dietmar Muller from the University of Sydney and Associate Professor Slah Boulila from the Sorbonne University. They reached their conclusion following analysis of the deep-sea sediment records acquired from over half a century of drilling data from hundreds of sites worldwide. The 2.4 million year cycle they found can only have been caused by the interactions between Earth and Mars."

"The interaction of the gravitational field of the two planets means periods of higher incoming solar radiation every 2.4 million years and with it, an increase in global temperatures. Their analysis of the sediments showed breaks in the sedimentary deposits which related to periods of warmer temperatures and more vigorous deep ocean circulation."

Gravity From Mars has an Effect on Earth's Oceans
universetoday.com

Richard Cronin adds:

We know that the Sun and Jupiter form the barycenter of the solar system. From all that has been published thus far it seems that the tectonic fissures (i.e. trenches) of Earth’s ocean floor are manipulated by Tidal Pumping (Tidal Heating) from all major celestial bodies from the Sun out to Jupiter, Milankovitch cycles being the most prominent.

It may even be that Saturn’s gravity, in alignment with Jupiter may affect us.

Several astronomers posit that the Star in the East may have been a conjunction of Jupiter with Saturn. Momentous events to be certain.

Even the moon’s gravity imparts a drag force on our crustal plates. In fact, the moon acts to stabilize Earth’s orbit, much like the outrigger of a Polynesian canoe. Without this stabilization we would be wobbling all over the place.

Bidenomics in Action

Timothy Birdnow

Steven Chase posted this on Facebook and an enormous fight broke out there. Many tried to argue this is just a case of online sales killing non-competitive stores. But I did a search and found that in fact brick and mortar stores have had a huge upsurge since the end of the pandemic, and they are now considered the wave of the future. So they are surging in RED states and not Blue. Gee; I wonder why?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/calvinschnure/2021/03/18/brick-and-mortar-retail-is-bouncing-back/

and

https://www.globest.com/2023/05/03/retails-bright-future-lies-in-brick-and-mortar-after-all/

So it's not rising internet sales (and those sales spiked at the end of '20 and whose policy was the lockdowns anyway?)

Inflation, increasing crime, inflated wages, heavy regulations and taxes, etc. all contribute to these companies pulling out of the market. Cheaper to just sell via the internet than go to all the trouble running stores where actual people can shop - and browse and perhaps buy stuff they wouldn't have had they just surfed the web.

This is entirely a biproduct of the Democrat policies.

The Color of (Hydrogen) Money

Diane Kimura

If you thought the green energy push was expensive, "green hydrogen" will become the next agenda to justify taxpayer funded subsidies.

Facts matter and the old invented marketing term of "fossil fuels" is totally incorrect.

Oil, natural gas and coal are *natural hydrocarbons* and are not made from fossils, and are not in short supply.

About a century ago, Rockefeller coined the marketing buzzword "fossil fuel" to imply there was a scarcity of oil, and to try to increase the price of his oil based on the implied scarcity of oil.

Hydrocarbons are *not* made from decayed dinosaurs.

From the article:

"Exxon CEO Darren Woods went so far as to suggest that the US would not meet its net-zero emissions target for 2050, partly due to the high cost of renewable H2, he said during an appearance at energy conference CERAWeek, according to energy website E&E News.

"One of the challenges here is while society wants to see emissions reduced, nobody wants to pay for it,” Woods said.

"There’s a hesitancy for people to sign up for low-carbon hydrogen.”

Aramco CEO Amin Nasser told delegates that, in energy terms, the cost of green H2 amounted to the equivalent of $400 per barrel of oil — roughly five times the current price.

He added that renewable hydrogen would only be affordable with a "significant amount of [government] incentives and offtake agreements of at least 15 years” — but that companies are wary of starting businesses that are only profitable with subsidies and would then be unable to make money if those were taken away.

Nasser also said during a panel interview that the energy transition is "visibly failing”.

"A transition strategy reset is urgently needed and my proposal is this:

We should abandon the fantasy of phasing out oil and gas and instead invest in them adequately reflecting realistic demand assumptions,” he said, to applause from the audience.

Woods also told the conference that Exxon would not produce any blue hydrogen — made from fossil gas with carbon capture and storage — unless the proposed renewables-focused guidelines to access the hydrogen production tax credit (PTC) were amended to allow methane-derived H2. ..."

'Nobody wants to pay for it' | ExxonMobil and Aramco CEOs say green hydrogen is too expensive to replace fossil fuels
hydrogeninsight.com

Tim adds:

Hydrogen must be made and it takes more energy to create it than it gives back. It's a loser. I would add it emits water vapor - which is itself a greenhouse gas, the primary greenhouse gas. Of course, if made from water it simply returns to it's natural state, but so? Natural gas simply returns to it's natural state -carbon dioxide and water.

The fact is carbon dioxide is not a problem and has only been made to be such by a power-hungry international order and alarmist media. At 0.04% of the atmosphere we are talking about 4 molecules in every TEN THOUSAND molecules of air. And of those less than one of them are anthropogenic.

BTW,we don't know how much is anthropogenic. The Pandemic saw a 25% reduction in industrial carbon dioxide emissions and yet atmospheric CO2 continued to rise at the same rate, suggesting it is in fact a natural phenomenon. Oh, and of course the world's main atmospheric test sight is on the lip of an active volcano. Go figure.

This is a profoundly stupid argument we're having as a civilization.It's a generation-long War of the Worlds scare, nothing more.

As for the colored hydrogen, must EVERYTHING be rainbow transgendered these days?

Biden's Accomplishments

Jules Kunofsky

I Googled Biden's accomplishments :

"Top Accomplishments "

."Lowering Costs of Families' Everyday Expenses."
."More People Are Working Than at Any Point in American History."
."Making More in America."
."Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic."
."Rebuilding our Infrastructure. "
."Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans."

It should have said:
. Weaponized government against opposition parties.
. Ignored the Supreme Court rulings to get votes.
. Supported Biological men in women's locker rooms and sports participation.
. Trusted the Taliban for security in Afghanistan, resulting in a terrorist attack killing American military.
. Reduced drilling and fracking and allowing global energy prices to increase, benefitting terrorist States like Iran.
. Increased global wars on his watch.
. Opened the border of the US to illegal aliens, including drug cartels, sex traffickers, foreign terrorists and prisoners, resulting in the further destruction of sanctuary cities.

There are more, much more, much, much more!!!! The President of gas lighting the American people. The divider in chief. The gift to our global enemies. Call him what you want. Just don't call him the next President.
