The BBC tonight have been telling us that thunderstorms are on the way and the jet stream is about to revert. At Piers Corbyn's web site www.weatheraction.com he has been forecasting a cool end to July for some weeks – see www.weatheraction.com/docs/WANews13No29.pdf and (WANews13No28.pdf). The Jet Stream looped above northern Scotland as a result of a recent Earth facing CME event. It has now shifted below southern Britain – back to the position it held prior to that CME. Is this the kind of 'climate change' the alarmists are fond of ranting about?
At http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/lassen-and-thejll-close-correl… … in a paper by the Danish Meteorological Institute that seems to confirm the sort of thing Corbyn proposes. They claim the Arctic sea in observations over the past 500 years, can be seen to correlate with solar activity. Arctic sea ice extent and climate is controlled by natural variations in solar activity (and solar cycles). It has nothing to do with co2 (see also http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/new-paper-finds-arctic-clima…)

Do the orbits of the planets play a role in sun spot numbers? The full paper is at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1307.3706v1.pdf Scafetta seems again to echo some of the things Piers Corbyn has been saying (in the wilderness of meteorology). Climatic oscillations synchronise with specific solar, planetary and lunar harmonics.

It's all about climate change and how the heat transfer model is off beam to some extent. Some 70 per cent of the Earth's surface is water – more of it is sequestered in frozen water (ice sheets and glaciers), ion rivers and lakes, in underground reservoirs are known to exist. We live on a water planet. On the continents the relative temperatures are controlled by the water on, over, or near it.
The Pacific coastal region of Calfornia is generally cool in the summer as a result of a cold ocean current moving down the the side of N America from the north (and continues in this vein for several pages of interesting reading). He too finishes his piece by quoting an abstract from a paper – which also looks at the planetary orbital effects they exert on the Sun and the solar effects on the Jet Stream (as well as lunar field mixing) Wolff and Patrone, A New Way Planets Can Affect the Sun' (2010). Seems lots of things are coming together – the heretics are winning
