Scientists predict 'mini ice age' may hit UK by 2030

Frost fairs were once held on the River Thames.
A model of the Sun's magnetic activity suggests the River Thames may freeze over within two decades, experts say.

A mini ice age that would freeze major rivers could hit Britain in less than two decades, according to research from universities in the UK and Russia.

A mathematical model of the Sun's magnetic activity suggests temperatures could start dropping here from 2021, with the potential for winter skating on the River Thames by 2030.

A team led by maths professor Valentina Zharkova at Northumbria University built on work from Moscow to predict the movements of two magnetic waves produced by the Sun.

Austria: Strange funnel-shaped luminescent cloud visible for 15 minutes in night sky

This light display appeared between 04:30h and 4:45 h on Tuesday morning 12-26-2017, over the Soboth in South-west Steiermark province Austria, the view in towards the East.

Gerald Reczek reported on twitter, as he was walking his dog in the early morning hours, he saw a light rise up from the horizon and and disperse within 15 minutes.

Severe Weather Europe responded and speculated is likely be the Russian Fregat upper stage burn on the launch of AngoSat communications satellite, Angola's first satellite, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

According to SWE similar sightings were made in Romania.
No reason is given why a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan would be seen in Austria. Similar explanations were produced when the Norway Spiral appeared over Oslo in 2009.

Comment: The Russian rocket explanation seems unlikely. Whatever the immediate cause, perhaps this has something to do with the luminescence:
As we've theorized in Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection, the atmosphere has become more electrically charged these days as it accumulates increased levels of comet dust (more generally termed 'meteor smoke') and volcanic dust. The atmospheric dust captures electrons that circulate from the (relatively) negatively-charged Earth to the positively-charged ionosphere, creating atmospheric regions with varying electric potential.

The atmosphere is not one homogeneous space - its electric potential varies according to elevation (as a general rule; the higher, the more positive) and to dust concentration (negatively-charged regions). The combustion particles in the rocket trail become electrically-charged (ionized) and when the electric potential difference between the ionized combustion particles and the surrounding space is sufficiently high, it glows.

A juvenile male humpback whale was stranded at North Beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore on Tuesday, Dec. 26.
A dead humpback whale washed up on the Point Reyes National Seashore on Christmas Eve.

According to a report in the SF Gate, the Marine Mammal Center said the body found on the shore of North Beach was that of a 30-foot-long male whale.

The cause of the whale's death remains unknown.

"A team from California Academy of Sciences went out yesterday [Christmas Day] to get some samples, and a larger team is going out today for a necropsy," Laura Sherr, a spokesperson for the Sausalito-based Marine Mammal Center told the SF Gate.

Dead humpback washes up on beach in Long Island, New York

A dead humpback whale washed ashore in Atlantic Beach, Long Island, was reported to police on Dec. 26, 2017.
The carcass of a humpback whale washed up on a Long Island's East Atlantic Beach on Tuesday morning.

The mammoth mammal's body is around 30 feet long and it likely was already dead when it came ashore, an expert said.

"Usually when it's orientated dorsal-side down, an animal has washed up dead on the beach," said Rob DiGiovanni, chief scientist of the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society.

"It was called in by the public, [but] photos we have when the police showed up was of the animal dorsal-side down," he said.

Some parts of the Han River are frozen in Seoul, Friday, after subzero temperatures over the past few days.
New peer reviewed research from Svensmark shows that Galactic Cosmic Rays have SEVEN Times as much effect in creating clouds as previously believed. Incredible 12 feet of snow dumps on Germany in the Alps in a single storm. First time ice is seen on Korean river in 71 years, coldest in 100 years in Queensland Australia. Banks now forbidding customers form buying crypto with their own funds.


Comment: Study: Cosmic rays trigger climate change on Earth by increasing cloud cover

See also: Coldest summer for 100 years in Queensland, Australia
Every year more and more anomalous weather events are being reported all over the world, we're even seeing changes in the seasons; in the US and Europe it's unusually cold with some regions seeing record breaking snowfall. Both hemispheres are recording more abrupt and harsher winters that's leading to massive crop losses for farmers and a surge in commodity prices.

Mainstream science is failing to recognise the impact that our Sun's activity, the lowest in 200 years, is having on our planet; we're seeing a dramatic weakening of Earth's geomagnetic field and more more cosmic rays are entering into our atmosphere causing more cloud cover, and in tandem the polar jet streams are behaving erratically meandering further south for prolonged periods, causing the infamous 'polar vortex' phenomenon.

It's clear there are great changes occurring on Earth and some point to the beginning of a mini ice age.

Harsh Winter Conditions Across Canada this Christmas

It's cold out there.
In three related articles from CBC News this week, Canadians across the country are experiencing powerful storms, record cold temperatures, and extreme winter conditions during the Christmas holiday.

The first comes from the province of Nova Scotia on the east coast, where a powerful windstorm on Christmas Day knocked out power for tens of thousands of people.
A storm knocked out power to tens of thousands of Nova Scotians on Christmas Day as high winds blew trees onto power lines and broke utility poles.

By mid-morning on Tuesday, about 50,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were without electricity, down from about 90,000 at the peak of outages at 9 p.m. on Monday. [...]

Environment Canada had issued wind warnings for the entire province on Monday, cautioning of gusts up to 110 km/hr.

US: Christmas brings Northeast blizzard, bitter cold in Midwest

Pedestrians walk down the centre of the road in Moncton, N.B., as a winter storm blows through Atlantic Canada on Christmas Day, Monday, Dec. 25, 2017.
The good news for many in the Northeast and Midwest was that it has been a white Christmas. The bad news was that a blizzard swept into parts of New England and bitter cold enveloped much of the Midwest.

Even the usually rainy Pacific Northwest got the white stuff. The National Weather Service says it's only the sixth time since 1884 that downtown Portland had measurable snow — only an inch or two — on a Dec. 25.

A blizzard warning was issued Monday for portions of Maine and New Hampshire, with forecasters saying snow of up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) and wind gusts up to 50 mph (80 kph) could make travel "dangerous to impossible."

Most businesses were already shuttered on Christmas Day in New England. One of the few open was The Tobacconist cigar shop in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, where area-resident Dwayne Doherty said he welcomed the fresh blanket of snow.

OK, this is taking "White Christmas" a bit too far.

The National Weather Service in Cleveland reported the lake-effect snowfall that inundated Erie over the weekend and Christmas — and continues to fall — can now count itself as the most intense in Pennsylvania history.

Erie received 34 inches of snow on Christmas Day, not only breaking the all-time city Christmas record of 11 inches but also breaking the all-time daily snowfall record, which was 20 inches on Nov. 22, 1956.

Emmet County, specifically Petoskey, is continuing to deal with the winter storm.

Downtown Petoskey saw near whiteout conditions all day.

Some that live in the area woke up to upwards of 20 inches of snow overnight.

It was a lot more than many wanted to deal with, others are excited to see the snow piling up.
