Black Pearl: the article is correct, £20m over 2 years would answer the question about flooding but the correct answer certainly wouldn't come from Messrs Allen and Stott as members of the CO2 cult. Blue skies for most of the last 2 days but still some showers around. Much colder under the clear skies. Forecast seems to be going along nicely with the sun playing ball. The much-hyped CME petered out keeping solar influence to R3. NASA were spouting a solar wind speed of 700km/s (1.6million MPH in real money) but it never reached 500.

February may be the month to expect a distinct change from the currant weather.

If the polarity of the batteries in your torch are correct you get light, if it's wrong your torch won't work. ... Question: Which way do the electrons move within a DC electric circuit?

Brad..Paul..Piers... When you consider the fact that the CME was not uniform in it's structure as it left the Sun (are they ever?), and that the amount that reaches Earth is absolutely miscule compared to the whole, is it any wonder that the aurora are so temperamental? Trying to nail down the precise time the CME will hit is almost impossible, as the CME is a cloud with a leading edge, a main body and a trailing edge which is smeared out, with no clear definition. Neither is it like a cumulonimbus on Earth which has relatively clear definition to it's edges. The number of particles and the increased magnetic field strength they sit in will vary constantly as the cloud passes by any given point. So the cloud may look fairly uniform as it leaves the Sun, but by the time it gets here it can be extremely tenuous and have huge variations in the density of it's particles. So the Aurora are a very hit & miss affair at best! The Carrington Event was a very rare occurrence.

He certainly stretches ones imagination to breaking point sometimes though. His latest paper about salt structure is very interesting. .... A large swirl of cloud over Northern France and Germany looks likely to pull in some easterly and/or northerly winds as it powers up over the next few days. Another large area of cold arctic air pushing at the UK from the NW will either help drive it or be deflected by it, maybe giving a ridge of high pressure over the UK, which should give frost and ice. Everything should liven up as the CME slams home. 1.8 million mph is expected. Another flare from AR1944 could spew solar wind out of the coronal hole as it faces earth in a few days time too....

On "Electricity" & "Charge": Miles Mathis defines electricity as charge-in-motion. But like the confusing number of definitions for electricity, Mathis' charge photons are defined at a deeper fondational level than the conventional "electronic charge" "q". His "charge" vortices create electrons, protons, and atomic structures. I think he's got some better explanations than the standard model for electricity, magnetism, light, heat, gravity, atomic structures, and so on. However, we live in a world of accepted "conventions", like the "right-hand rule" of electromagnetism. Suppose we re-defined all terms, then we could say with a straight face EM follows the "left-hand rule", but today, given the problems society faces, I'm going with conventional terms that people can relate to. So while photons, protons, and electrons may well be powered up by his "charge field" - space in motion - I will continue to use words we are familiar with: electric, magnetic & electromagnetic "fields".

I say that is from where the "missing heat" that climate scientists say comes from "downwelling IR heat CO2 absorbed and re-radiated" that "goes into the oceans", where it is supposed to be presently "hiding". To add up x-ray event warming, I went today to gather solar radio spectral event data from '67-now from NOAA: "No Data Found" - Sungate?

Hi Russ
With regards to black holes, at the center of our galaxy a definitive point of vortex of which the spiral vortex and its members planets and solar systems are associated. From the nucleus of an atom to a star and its planets or electrons and protons, it is the same.
At the center is the hub about which every thing rotates.
Its the golden mean or ratio 1.618. So as far as Black holes may be described in this way so we have common reference i am referring to that Hub characteristic only.
The patterns repeat on every scale, a snails shell. the magnetic forces spiraling out from the sun are no different.
The central hub of the sun is the most powerful magnet in this part of space , it draws in a mass of electricity from the mesh and produces the solar effect of plasma discharge the same as the coil.the fields collapse and produce massive out put from low input.
Nothing operating in front of us is any different at any distance.
Also Excellent work piers. fantastic

We can detect magnetic fields and their changes but it's much more difficult to test for the electrical component by itself. By measuring the flux density of a magnetic field we are also measuring the electrical potential. Its a bit like someone testing for oxygen in the atmosphere but using the wrong tools and only finding carbon, which would be puzzling, but accepted, because they can see that it exists, their tools prove it. What they are finding is carbon monoxide. The oxygen is there, but they just don't see it in their results. They expect oxygen but without the correct method they'll never find it, even though it's right under their nose. So we see the magnetic field but not the electric field of which it is part because we don't know how to test for electric fields in space... Rohan.. X1? Here we go! ;^)

One thing I really like here is that ideas can be floated and discussed here without being shot down in aggressive flames. So often on the internet you can write paragraphs and someone takes the two weakest words, monsters them and claims the rest is invalid. Sadly I have found mainstrem science/academia to be increasingly defensive dogmatic and unwilling to consider anything that deviates even slightly from herd Orthodoxy. A sad departure from the ideals of science I was enthused with at school. As a result I'm glad I became an engineer not a scientist. At the core I put it down to the fact that while in the C19th scientists were self funded individuals who were interested in the subject and no financial interest in finding one way or the other, most modern scientists are essentially public sector consultants paid to research something and like most consultants, have a tendency to want to tell their benefactors what they want to hear

Piers/Russ/Bob/all - Richard Holle has this theory expressed some 3 yrs ago " The Earth/moon system is magnetically coupled to the sun, only the changes are apparent, because the background levels are stable they are not detectable as a result of the way we long term average out measurements of magnetic fields strength. So only the shifts are viewable, much as when at the beach we only see the tidal movement if there all day, if less than a hour just the waves breaking on shore.Or notice the hum due to the ripple noise on top of the voltage, from the DC power supply for the radio, the larger the ripple the louder the hum.In plasma discharges the focus of the bulk current, follows the paths of least resistance, as the North / South movement of the moon acts as a focal point (moon is outside of the earth’s magnetosphere most of the time) for the solar wind interface the point of highest current follows the path of least resistance"

Sorry! Me again.... I've been thinking (always a bad idea)! Our Sun is a variable star, and some variable stars change in brightness over a few hours, or days, or even years. It's thought that the Sun is rather benign, and that sudden outbursts are no more than an occasional peak in activity due to flares from a few naughty Sun-Spots. We haven't been studying the other trillions of stars for very long, but we already know that a variable star can sit quietly for decades then flash! A sudden outburst, or sudden dimming can occur. Could our star have such tantrums as it passes through the regions of our galaxy, maybe triggering ice ages? We didn't realise that ice ages happened until the late 1800s. A full blown ice age = just 6C below the interglacial average! Ice ages begin very rapidly but also end just as rapidly. They last for a very long time with tiny warm periods inbetween.

You may have seen the moving objects with sound video of late, its not new but the latest interest shows you how objects are suspended by waves in space.

There can't be that many realistic possibilities but I go with the solid giant planet with an extended atmosphere, which is responding, due to it's huge mass and large interstellar speed, with the glow discharge which the Electric Universe people propose. The standard model needs constant revision to plug contradictory holes, which then need more explanations to plug even more contradictory holes.

The polar vortex in the US can drive air from the north into the continent and connects with the westerlies to bring freezing conditions to the Eastern US coast.
In order to get the extreme cold in the UK the polar vortex has be replaced with a strong large blocking high pressure system which would funnel strong frigid northerlies and easterlies from the Arctic or Europe. with low pressures to the south bring fronts up to create heavy snow events.
The extreme opposite to a polar vortex is needed.

3 The peak of an event on the sun may not be 'the cause' of an event or development on earth but the build up to events on sun and weather events on earth may be the main things which move more or less together. 4. Plenty of things happen more or less together and causality can get blurred.

Rohan.... When something big happens on the Sun it's effects can be measured on the Earth's upper atmosphere just minutes or a few hours later. We only have to wait several days for 'coronal mass ejections' to hit the atmosphere These travel at solar wind speed which varies from roughly 300km/s to well over 600km/s. This equates to around 3 to 6 days. The mass ejection will also take several hours from it's first explosive movements to eventually breaking away from the Sun's atmosphere. Also of importance, especially in relation to earthquakes and eruptions, is the very powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which signals the beginning of the CME. This creates a magnetic wave or ripple in magnetic flux (density) which hits our atmosphere and jolts it. This creates sudden random peaks in voltages in not just the atmosphere but also the ground, and other things with electrical conductance such as high voltage power lines and mobile phone chips, hence a flare may crash your phone or laptop.

Coronal hole CH598 was trans equatorial on the solar hemisphere with EFP 29-31.12.2013. The Geomagnetic disturbance date interval was 1-5.1.2014 but is now quiet. Interestingly CH598 was CH596 which drove the North Sea storm early Dec. New CH599 will not be in EFP until 9-10.1.14. So I see Piers R forecast windows (+/- 1d) as essentially right.
