WeatherAction are World leaders in LongRange Forecasting

WeatherAction Forecasts are entirely different from all Standard Meteorology Efforts. They are for LongRange decisions in Britain+Ireland, Europe and USA - and other parts of the world and oceans at times.

They are not 'early' substitutes for short range forecasts. We may make short range comments but generally direct you elsewhere for short range forecasts.

For Full information, independent reports of WeatherAction's significant skill and archives* of past foreacsts for more than the last 12 mths as well as Informative Links to other sites Go To (NB This & some other links may require copy/paste or Highlight/GoTo).

July 14/13/12/11/10 Current Weather Comment on R4 period ~9/10Jul +

The New Mini-Ice-Age / Wild-Jet-Stream Age is here and now

- and What Is To Be Done?

Events around the world ~this R4 period - Europe inc B+I, USA, New Zealand - reported on internet and WeatherAction reader-observers - and many put together by Craig on WeatherAction NewsRoom blog confirm WeatherAction specific forecasts & warnings both sides of the Atlantic especially for large / giant hail; and show specific switching to MIA / WJSA circulation patterns:

SEE "ALL HAIL THE MINI ICE AGE!"

http://weatheraction.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/all-hail-the-mini-ice-age/

***AND below re Polar vortex tilt USA***

IMPORTANTLY WeatherAction's general warning from two years ago of Wild jet stream / Mini Ice-Age conditions becoming more prevelant is being totally vindicated.

As I commented in my letter below to ICCC9 (International Climate Change Conferece in Las Vegas) and at and after Richard Tol's meeting in the Palace of Westminstrer July 9th The new Mini Ice Age / Wild Jet Stream Age is here and now.

It beggars belief that in the face of total failure of CO2 warmist models, predictions and policies and proven success of OPPOSITE scientific solar-based forecasting techniques, that anyone purporting to be an objective media reporter or scientist can continue to promote and "Believe" the cretinous anti-science and delusional nonsense of the fraudulent Co2-warmists pyramid of lies.

THE REASON of course is political and the result of well-oiled goebbels-esque propaganda brainwashing machines such as The BBC and Big Oil (Qatar) owned Al-Jazeera and the erosion in schools of evidence-based scientific approaches in favour of wooly politically motivated opinion-based drivel. The linch-pin of the delusion is the web of self-serving data manipulators, cherry-pickers, charlatans and fraudsters who call themselves scientists and have corrupted world academia from top to bottom.

We can give them no quarter and must call this whole system - and associated luke-warmist apologists - to account, destroy it - sweep it away, and replace it with a new enlightenment of accountable evidence-based science and politics.

July 9/10 REPORT on

MEETING Wednesday 9th July 2014

Palace of Westminster (St stephens entrance) Committee Room 20  ***12noon - 2pm***

The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report and its Implications for UK ClimatePolicy

Dr. Richard S.J. Tol

Professor of the Economics of Climate Change University of Sussex

Institute for Environmental Studies & Department of Spatial Economics, Co-editor Energy Economics

QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION

With      posible      contributions from      (      invited      but not all confirmed:)       MPs - Peter Lilley, Graham Stringer, Sammy Wilson; Philip Foster (Chair); Repeal the (Climate) Act Fay Kelly-Tuncay;  Piers Corbyn.

Meeting arranged by Sammy Wilson MP for www.repealtheact.org.uk

Further information: physics.services@gmail.com; philip.foster17@ntlworld.com  01480 399098

Piers Reports: This 'Repeal The Act' meeting got a scholarly critique by Richard Tol of the uncertainties of economics and other effects of Climate change policies and some lively discussion including contributions from MPs. VIDEO by WeatherAction Team available soon.

The key message of Richard Tol's presentation was that there is no discernable effect on CO2 content of the atmosphere or world temperatures arisng from Climate Change policies. He pointed out in particular:-

- "Carbon Tax does nothing it just increases costs" and

- It is impossible to say that any changes in world temperature are due to Man's CO2 (or CO2 in general), any temperature changes being wihin natutal variability.

A number of contributors said the whole case for the economic meddling under the heading Climate Action (Climate Change Acts etc) was based of the deluded CO2 theory for which there was no evidence (but note this was NOT the subject of Prof Tol's talk he came to discuss economics of 'Climate Change measures').

Near the end I thanked Richard for his scholarly presentation and said the climate change measures debate was like the question of How many Angels can balance on a needle - which experts had now agreed was 99, but beggars the fact there are actually no angels and no needle. I said I was amazed at the narrowness of the CO2 'debate' because even if one accepts the delusional nonsense of CO2 effect (~needles and angels) then the idea that Man's CO2 flux rules over nature's (which is 24 x more) is insane. I suggested since termites produce 10x man's CO2 (or CO2 effect in their deluded terms) a better 'solution' to the (deluded) 'CO2 problem' would be for Obama to declare war on Termites.

I gave a short rememberence of Andy Wilson (see lower down this blog) and the essence of our message (letter link below) to ICCC9.

I used the giant globe (as first used at the Electric Universe Conference***, New-Mexico, March) to illustrate the observed and successfully predicted effects of solar activity on moving the jet stream (the arbiter of climate change) while CO2 protagonists admit under their models CO2 levels have NO EFFECT on it; and summarized the 4 key Mini-Ice-Age (solar activity driven) impact points (eg Polar vortex shifts, giant hail etc in letter to ICCC9 below) on the REAL WORLD.

Sammy Wilson MP rounded off saying that MP's constituents are increasingly suspicious of the

"delusional nonsense" of Climate Change claims and are angered by carbon taxes and charges imposed on their livlihoods - and we must keep up the fight.

On Frid 27 June WeatherAction meeting held a minutes silence for Andy Wilson, a WeatherAction associate and keen supporter who tragically died recently after delays for a heart op.

Piers Corbyn: "I first met Andy in 1969 when I supervised him in my tutorial group when I was a post grad in Imperial College Physics and President of Imperial College Students Union. He always worked hard to understand not just 'know' physics.

His untimely death is a great loss and his zest for life and his application of science in all things was evidenced by the large number of attendees - probably 300 from around the world - at the Memorial service (Crown Court Church, Covent Garden) and gathering in The Senior Common Room Imperial College Sherfield building. His busy life encompassed many many things - most notably Rugby, repairing and maintaining old vintage vehicles, science and "all things Imperial". It was through science / Imperial public lectures and WeatherAction activities that I re-made acquaintance in the last 7 years or so and he gave support when it was most needed most importantly hosting events at the National Liberal Club on the Embankment when WeatherAction or the Campaign to Repeal The Climate Act held meetings in the Palace of Westminster.

He amazingly maintained, or led the maintenance IN GOING ORDER thereof, of the RCS (Royal College Of Science = IC Science) Mascot Jezebel - the 1916 Dennis Fire engine (above; thanks for photos Ella!) for years. I am in photo beside Steve Ball one of Andy's RCS Motor Club heirs who said that Andy's memory most go on and Jez will be maintained and that 2016 marking 100 years of Jez would be very important.

The other vehicle is Clem the RSM (Royal School of Mines) Mascot which with Jez also attended outside the Church service and both were driven back to IC with full complements of crew!

Thankfully although our forecast for N/W Br+Ir was on course the weather front we had expected (in forecast from 3 weeks ahead) to pass through largely on 3rd July was delayed by about 48 hrs ensuring an amazing afternoon for Andy. Well done Andy!

Donations in appreciation of Andy were suggested by family to "Imperial College Union (for RCS Motor Club)"

Piers Corbyn 5 July 2014

JULY 1+2 - WATCH WHAT'S COMING THIS MONTH!

Piers' Comment:

JULY 2014 - A Tipping Point in Climate and Climate Wars. This will be a month to remember in many ways!

"Our July forecasts, just released, show remarkable 'Mini-Ice-Age/Wild Jet-Stream circulation patterns with extraordinary meanders in the Jet stream and very large scale patterns in the N hemisphere and consequent wild extremes and contrasts across regions of heat and cold, deluges and floods and relative drought. We expect this wild behaviour to be also expressed in the southern hemisphere. It is no surprise that record snow and cold blasts have already been experienced in Australian Winter - but hardly reported by Warmist media.

I strongly recommend subscribing to these forecasts for Br+Ir, Eu, USA (or RTQ for tornado/quake risk trials), or for 'THE-LOT' - All services (ie Br+Ir, Eu, Eu pressure maps, USA, RTQ + any specials) in one bargain package which give you the fullest possible picture of what the world is heading into.

"These more decisive than ever MIA/WJS patterns come just as systematic warmist tampering with World (and local) temperature data sets stands exposed fw.to/an9fKCY . This is something we suspected was going on 5 years ago but had no direct proof.

"The #ScienceDeniers and #WarmistFraudsters perpetrating these diabolical acts in the #Co2Con must be called to account and removed from public funding in all countries.

Evidence-based science must return."

My hope is the masters of death from the nwo will have their control freak plans stymied by SC24 and we who know better, and from there build a future based on cooperation, not so much competition for resources, not UN style. The trouble is they want to reduce our options, restrict our ability to survive, all the while our awareness grows. So this time is vital - because what kind of world the future becomes depends on whether we stand up for our freedom and reject the warmists CO2 nonsense, and replace it with what we know works, as Piers has shown, a proper understanding of the sun-earth climate connection via his solar-lunar action technique.

The views of the warmists and the coolists are so widely disparate that they cannot both be correct, but I have noticed a trend in both arguments to keep pushing any change further into the future. Piers however has been pretty consistent. For the last 17 years there has been no substantial change either way ( data fiddling notwithstanding) . So where is the climate going? Permanent snow fields in the Scottish Highlands will convince me.

Maybe we`d better enjoy all this fine weather before the big freeze starts around 2020? Just to remind everyone, that the Mayan calender furore of 2012, may well have been a portent of doom, just not immediately. No sudden catastrophe i.e. asteroid strike or alien invasion. Instead, they probably knew that that the interglacial we are in is about to end, and the good times (golden age) are over. The beginning of a new ice age really would be the end of this civilisation. The full blown effect could take a few hundred years to reach deep cold but the destruction (starvation), of humans may be over in just a few years. The signs are there. When we see the news that millions are starving across the world due to massive crop failures, that will be it! THE END! Until next time.....back to the stone age to start all over again.

Be sure to see Joe's July 12 article there called "Polar Vortex summer version prelude to brutal winter and potential major energy issues".

Odd cycles except #23 had more energy flux, and #24 so far has exhibited the least amount of energy flux in a solar cycle in our lifetimes. We've probably reached solar max, and hereafter we'll be going downhill with a lower solar flux expected until the minimum going into SC25.

We burned wood twice in July already for the first time in memory. Damn that polar vortex, damn it all to hell! We finally reached into the heat index range a few days ago, when much of the US southward and on the coasts have really felt that recent solar blast in addition to the regular summer insolation. The moon and the sun are practically 180 degrees out of phase right now, counteracting each other's influence, borne out in frontal and temp maps. The moon reached max south declination a few days ago, right after the sun's more active earth-facing side "peaked" in SSN @ 256, SF @ 201, now rolling off to the farside, revealing less active solar face; SSN=SF=145 today.

A strange world when Brian Hoskins (on the Grantham payroll at Imperial College) can claim catastrophic warming with no evidence and Lord Lawson make observations backed up by empirical evidence yet Hoskins is found to be right.

My location we only got a few mm of rain no thunder and its been mostly humid hot and any 'intensification' has been of the hot humid type. The front from the east went from London to Hull but didn't move much further west while the Atlantic low hit west Scotland but never came east. There was a full moon no idea if that had any effect on it. So the prediction was generally right about thunder and cool conditions for those who got them but not in its intensity [which seems to have happened in Europe] or scope. 0.6 out of 1.0 which gives a cumulative for July of 2.4 out of 3.
