A new look at JM's prognostications

Oh noes, no Ice Age! Not that an ice age would happen just because of a GSM anyway! We have warmed far too much for any 0.2°C cooling to have any noticeable effect.

Here is an Environmental topic:

There is no GSM happening now!





This is going to have a big impact on certain critters: the brainless cowards who prefer to believe someone or something will save them from AGW. Brainless, gutless morons like “I will tell Setanta on you {sob}” Booby.

More seriously, this means the next El Nino is going to be a killer! Bye bye GBR!  Bye bye Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers! Bye bye low lying coastal areas (incl Adelaide, SA east of the Adelaide Hills etc. Global population will crash. Rather, global populations of all critters will crash, as will populations of plants!

The money scammers and conmen made selling “the” GSM likely will not do them much good in the new world.


Booby must think himself a real numbskull now! Posting boring little YouTubes of pet animals is probably about what he can do. Talk about the environment in any meaningful way is beyond him as is modding an MRB.


My highlight.

All that in the "next" El Nino. Hold on to your hats for that rough ride. Grin Grin Grin Grin

"Swiss glaciers melting like never before, new study shows

SWITZERLAND'S glaciers are melting like never before, an academic study released today showed, with their ice volume declining by 6 per cent in a “disastrous” 2022.

The Swiss Academy of Sciences reports that the shrinkage of ice in glaciers in Switzerland — which has the greatest volume of glaciers of any country in Europe — has topped a previous record retreat nearly a generation ago.

“2022 was a disastrous year for Swiss glaciers: all ice melt records were smashed by the great dearth of snow in winter and continuous heat waves in summer,” the academy said in a statement, basing its report on data collected by Glamos, the Swiss glacier monitoring network.

The report chronicles in detail the damage across the Swiss Alps: Over six metres of ice melted this year on the Konkordiaplatz summit in the Great Aletsch Glacier in the south, near the Italian border.

Small glaciers like Pizol in the east near Liechtenstein, Vadret dal Corvatsch near St Moritz in the south-east, and Schwarzbachfirn in central Switzerland have “practically disappeared," the team said.

The country faced what might be considered a “perfect storm” this year that led to the big melt.

Snow cover in the Swiss Alps was exceptionally light this year — particularly in the southeast — meaning that the glaciers had less natural protection from the heat.

Plus, a dust drift from the Sahara that blanketed many parts of Europe in the spring contaminated the snow, causing it to absorb more solar heat.

Then, a spike in summer heat swept across Europe — intensifying the pressure.

Switzerland is not alone: The Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Germany said the ice sheet on the Southern Schneeferner in the Alps had melted so much this summer that it could no longer be considered a glacier — leaving Germany now with only four glaciers.

The findings come on top of another study released last month showing that Switzerland’s 1,400 glaciers have lost more than half their total volume since the early 1930s."

Swiss critters will have to do with less tourism income. If they rely on glacier meltwater they will eventually get thirsty.
