A big battle going in in the Uk at present as sAGE predict doom gloom and disaster and demand a comprehensive lock down due to the new variant. Boris is surprisingly standing up to them and refuses to do anything until more data comes in.
Cases are flat, hospitalisations and daily deaths are all flat. Omicron remains a smaller percentage of covid than delta and hasn’t exploded as yet as has been predicted
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10328267/D-day-Christmas-Boris-Johnson-considers-new-Covid-curbs.html
As it gets closer to Christmas it will become more difficult for boris to pull the plug so let’s hope the impact of omnicrom remains limited
252
The impression I get is that weather vane Boris is only resisting the SAGE doomsayers because he has a party revolt on his hands.
At the end of the day, the matter will be decided by the real PM – Carrie Johnson.
I really feel that BoJo’s leadership is coming to an end. He was never the most decisive – or conservative – of ‘conservative’ PMs, but his dithering style has been disastrous during the pandemic. Lockdowns are bad enough for businesses, but inconsistency and uncertainty make them a hundred times worse. I really feel for cafes and restaurants that stocked up in preparation for the busy Xmas season, only to then have all this fear mongering drastically reduce trade anyway.
But it is his other mistakes that will bring him down, because even the teflon PM can only fight on so many fronts. The sleaze accusations, dodging of lockdown rules and pathetic adherence to all the climate nonsense (now starting to hit people’s pockets hard), then losing Lord Frost and the Shropshire by-election look like threatening the positions of his MPs, and that always gets their attention!
290
Everyone underestimates Boris. He is a political animal and classic middle of the road politician. This is what keeps Labor at bay as he is stealing their turf. A bit like Scott Morrison in Australia. And he may be right when Omicron replaces Delta. That it has not done so far indicates the speed of transmission has dropped dramatically but the most infectious and more benign variant will eventually take over. So by the spring they should be in great shape.
And Brexit has not been a disaster while the EU is in turmoil as Germany transforms and the French President faces an election while Hungary and Poland are in open revolt over the legal supremacy claimed by the unelected EU bureaucrats. The British may be well pleased they are no longer ruled by the priviliged elites in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. The Common Market was fine. The European Council passable but the European Union represents the reemergency of a French/German dictatorship and the Holy Roman Empire.
Particularly pleasing is the first of many Free Trade Agreements, the one with Australia. Free trade was the driver of European economic development under the Hanoverian cities. So Boris as the champion of BREXIT will still have support as the Labor party swings hard left.
245
The change in policies since Brexit has been vanishingly small. The Civil “Service” want to stay in lockstep with the EU so they can rejoin when possible.
The biggest bungle he has made (arguably worse than Carrie) is to believe that wind turbines can power the nation. As Paul Homewood points out wind has been a waste of money this year
“Using the data from GB National Grid Status, so far this year, wind power has been producing at less than 2 GW for 22% of the time. 2 GW works out at about a capacity factor of 10%, which I am sure most normal people would regard as pretty worthless.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2021/12/20/power-when-you-need-it-not-with-wind/
It has even been running at below 1 GW for 9% of the year. Average output is over 5 GW.
It is true that low winds tend to be more common in summer, when demand is low. But they can still occur in winter. Between 27th Feb and 4th March, wind power never reached 2.5 GW for 112 hours straight. During this period it was below 2 GW for 99 hours, and averaged just 1.1 GW overall.”
When the lights and heating stop a lot of people are going to be very annoyed (if they survive). And at the recent by-election the Conservative majority of 28,000 at the previous election wasn’t enough to keep that seat. I think a lot of Tory backbenchers will be thinking over the Xmas holidays about their future prospects.
210
Which current world leader is against wind power?
50
At a guess TdeF, I would say two, Modi of India and Xi of China. A possible third would be Putin but not much from anybody else.
252
India is stuffed with windmills, mainly because they have no choice. It just doesn’t work! I have been in factories in India when the wind stopped. You cannot run a factory on wind. They would love coal but they have no fossil fuels. As such they are the world leaders in exploring Thorium reactors as with Australia, they control the world Thorium supply.
Xi has huge windfarms in the deserts of Western China and they are also the world’s leader in manufacture of windmills. It’s a win/win. Pretend to be Green while milking Wind power. China receive cash for carbon credits. It’s been a new coal power mill every week for the last couple of years. China is the world’s biggest profiteer from ‘Renewables’. Xi believes in coal.
As for Putin, Russia sells power to the West, particularly gas to Germany and Ukraine. And there is absolutely no domestic need for additional power as they have so much Nuclear, like France. The entire Trans Siberian Express is electrified. That’s without the coal resources of the Donbass in Eastern Ukraine or the oil reserves of the Caspian over which three world wars were fought. Wind? Putin is not against wind. And they lack the academics who insist the world is warming. The Russians would love some warming.
And then you get Green Australia. 1/4 of the world’s uranium reserves and not a single nuclear reactor supplying power domestically. We are putting in windmills, supported by $6billion a year stolen from our electricity bills by law.
390
Or forget world leader. Just political leader would do.
80
There must be a flat calm over the UK, they are burning truckloads of gas.

Boris is still resisting the anger and Doom of SAGE and confirmed today no new restrictions before Christmas. Sturgeon has given in and will be banning Hogmany, so that will go down well.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10333245/Boris-FINALLY-rules-new-curbs-Dec-25.html
The mail provides some good graphs. Covid cases jumped a few days ago after being very steady at 50000. This was in response to the extreme media scaremongering that caused the puiblic to panic. . Hospitalisations and Deaths have remained very steady-except in London where the causes are suspected.
the media are saying how quiet it is so thought it would be a good opportunity to go to the local garden centre for a coffee and one of their famed cheese scones. The place was packed out!
20
Boris cannot change the UK covid outcome now Omicron Vs Vaccines Vs UK populations Vit D status.
It will be interesting to see the UK data. There are a number of questions. Omicron is now the dominate covid strain in the UK so the UK data will be a preview of what to expect in Europe and later in North America.
The mRNA vaccine’s are reported to only provide protection for six months (zero at that point). The mRNA vaccines also do not provide covid protection for people who have medically compromised immune response like cancer patients or transplant recipients.
There are a large number of dark skin people in London. A cohort of very Vit D deficient people.
UK had 91k detected daily covid cases today. The estimate is that there are roughly 200k new covid cases per day, in the UK, due to unreported covid cases. (Asymptotic patients who where not aware they had covid or were so minor they assumed that it was not covid.)
Omicron is too contagious, the vaccines are too leaky, and there are too many daily cases for a lockdown to change the final outcome.
170
Reported locally ( Victoria, Aust ) A Pfizer spokesperson has declared that the world cannot vaccinate itself out of this pandemic.
This of course beggs the question, If we can’t vaccinate “out of the pandemic” why are we vaccinating at all. Other notable pandemics/ epidemics such as smallpox, polio etc have been driven into oblivion by vaccination, so this should be a realistic outcome for genuine vaccines, the fact that the vaccine producer doesn’t expect “eradication” speaks volumes.
320
Got a link for that?

Just to further illustrate the fear porn that occurs at government levels, the UK Sage modellers admit that they only model bad outcomes for infection waves because that’s what they’re asked to do
Here is part of the Twitter conversation that Graham Medley, the chair of the Sage modelling committee, had with a journalist.
We generally model what we are asked to model. There is a dialogue in which policy teams discuss with the modellers what they need to inform their policy.
…
Decision-makers are generally on only interested in situations where decisions have to be made.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/my-twitter-conversation-with-the-chairman-of-the-sage-covid-modelling-committee
So their mission is to produce fear/doom models

That was an interesting discussion. I find it incredible that any so-called scientist would not provide a range of alternate scenarios, with some comments as to the most likely scenario.

ideal Christmas present for your Loved ones! Order early!
I have great news that Sweden has invented a vaccine passport microchip implant
https://dailysceptic.org/2021/12/20/swedish-company-creates-vaccine-passport-microchip-implant/
I am pretty sure I can organise a bulk discount rate for jo’s readers and if you get your orders in now you can get your implants done soon after Christmas in time for Oz’s next lockdown.
Obviously I have no ideas on price as yet, but if readers can just indicate their desire for one of these labour saving implants we can get a tentative idea on likely numbers. There’s no need to thank me
70
Do you get a brand on the forehead to announce that you have one of those chips?
40
Another Ian
Why not have one of the implants on your forehead as well? I am sure we can colour them so they show through the skin. A nice yellow would be tasteful. Of course life can be made even easier if you had one in each forearm so you can casually present to the scanner whichever arm is ‘handiest’.
For a limited time only we can offer 3 implants for the price of 2! Be the envy of your friends!
20
No brand on the forehead yet, a siren sounds as you come through the door.
And the cost? About the same as for your dog and cat.
30
I like the idea of having it in my ear lobes because as yet I’ve not found anything useful for mine.

New study shows that due to the logarithmic nature of co2 a doubling will see an increase of temperature of less than one degree
https://notrickszone.com/2021/12/20/2-more-studies-the-climates-co2-sensitivity-is-low-models-erroneously-overestimate-co2-warming/
100
Again, the assumption that internal radiative effects have any say in the Global Temperature.
They don’t.
Net radiative energy transfer is governed by the atmospheric temperature gradient… (basic physics of energy transfer)
…and that temperature gradient is governed by the gravity based lapse rate, which is only affected by H2O content.
CO2 has no effect on the temperature gradient what-so-ever, therefore cannot cause any warming.
293
oops!
… “atmospheric temperature gradient” should read..
atmospheric temperature/pressure gradient.
70
I’m with clarence on this, CO2 sensitivity is a lukewarm attitude.
101
Fifty years ago any scientist who engaged with that junk science would have been ridiculed.
These people are simply doing exploratory calculations on “what if” type scenarios.
What if CO2 was somehow able to heat the atmosphere and what if the normal rules of science were suspended during the writing.
On top of the basic physics there’s the issue of quantitative analysis. CO2 is quantitatively irrelevant.
End of story.
280
And we do not control CO2. No one has proven this outrageous assertion.
The lack of warming and the lack of reaction to a world shutdown has proven it is not true.
So what exactly is the point of reducing consumption of fossil fuels and spending $1.5Trillion a year? And what about the proposition that warming increases CO2. Why would anyone jump to the conclusion that CO2 causes warming? Or is it all just lies for cash and power, another world disaster brought to you by the UN/EU/IPCC/WHO?
120
And I would like to ask a question.
If CO2 is not caused by the increased use of fossil fuels, why is it going up?
Consider one piece of information during your deliberations. 98% of all CO2 is dissolved in the ocean.
When you have your answer, ask yourself why this is not being considered by anyone?
101
Because this has never been about science; it’s always been about control, power and money.
The fact that this has gone on for thirty years now shows something about humanity.
Collectively it isn’t very smart.
Several hundred years ago Watt Tyler understood the situation, confronted it, and paid with his life.
The result of his sacrifice was that for much of the time since, the English speaking world has benefited from some sensible Rules of governance.
Nothing is perfect but we are now at a significant crossroads and we need to reboot to a better system.
90
It nearly died with the Australian election in 2013, but Al Gore was able to somehow persuade Clive Palmer to thwart the Abbott government’s landslide mandate to abolish the carbon tax and slash spending.
A quirk in our electoral system had allowed Clive Palmer to translate a protest vote into the balance of power in our upper house. There, after campaigning as more conservative than the conservatives, he fell in behind Al Gore.
When our scholars finally wake up to this it will be recorded as one of the most significant events in Australia’s political history.

Such nonsense. To have any impact, there would need to be a “greenhouse effect”. Such a thing is science fiction.
There is an average of 11Tt (11E12 tonne) of water in the atmophsere with a range of 10 to 12.5Tt. The atmosphere cycles 522Tt of water every year. So residence time of water in the atmosphere is just over a week.
Water vapour is wrongly termed the most powerful greenhouse gas. The fundamental problem here is that water exists in the atmosphere as solid, liquid and, most trivially, a gas. The solid phase trumps the gas phase by a good margin when it comes to the radiation balance. Most people have observed that water in the atmosphere can turn day into night – those thick dark clouds. Clouds trump vapour in the overall radiative impact.
Water in the atmosphere limits the ocean surface temperature to an average of 30C. Atmospheric water, in the form of clouds, provides a precise upper limit on ocean surface temperature by clouds regulating the isolation reaching the surface. Sea ice regulates the lower temperature limit to -2C. Once ice forms it insulates the water below t slow the rate of cooling.
Atmospheric water cools is a cooling agent for 9 months of the year and a warming agent for 3 months.
On average land and sea ice always loses heat and water always gains heat. Oceans warms the land. There are only a few land locations like the Sahara and central Australia where the land temperature exceeds the abutting ocean temperature at certain ties of the year. Atmosphere water, evaporated from oceans, transfers heat from the oceans to the land. The ocean surface temperature is at its minimum in December when the ocean heat uptake is at greatest and heat transfer to land is also at its greatest but atmospheric water is at its minimum. Ocean surface temperature is an inverse function of the net evaporation; surface emperature is completely out of phase with insolation and heat absorbed.
Ocean surface warming over the last 400 years is due to the water cycle, ocean to land, slowing down, as the current precession cycle advances.

Even the “logarithmic” term is incorrect.
Its been shown by actual measurements that the absorption of energy by CO2 levels off at around 280pp…
… so even the mythical “forcing” doesn’t change once the atmospheric concentration reaches 280ppm.
https://i.postimg.cc/8CjbPNRp/eggert-co2.png
50
” . . levels off at around 280pp… ”
It looks like that at about 100 ppm it has accomplished about 97%
of what it can do. (Yes, I pulled that number from somewhere.)
– – – –
RE: 97% — I’ve begun using this number whenever it closely fits the narrative. There is, of course ’42’, that can be used when the situation or question is unclear.

Pity that CO2 doesn’t cause global warming, we are in an ice age.
https://andymaypetrophysicist.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/smithsonian-phanerozoic.jpg

We must take action against this ice age now! It’s causing everything under the sun:
* An extra-tropical low drifting past the North Island
* Snow and gale force winds hammering Fiordland in the South Island (on the longest day of the year)
* A tropical cyclone forming up by Darwin (reminiscent of ‘Tracy’ in ’74?)
* Sea breeze for NSW and hot desert wind for Perth
The only crisis is ‘the climate’ is still exactly the same as it was 30+ years ago… Release the viruses!

Ok Aussie politicians and govt health experts who haven’t listened to a single real expert on the planet, NOW WHAT?
Aussie mainstream media – what will you report now? No doubt whatever sanitised scripts you’re handed. Why do you even think of yourselves as journalists?
How do you blame this on the purebloods?
You opened the borders and let the primary carriers (vaxxed) loose nationally.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/stunning-data-about-vaccine-failure/comments
Time for immediate national elections, full public disclosure of the truth across the board and Nuremberg trials 2.0
This nonsense has gone on long enough.
Thought for the day:
The vaxxed need to be protected from the unvaxxed by giving the unvaxxed a vaccine that didn’t protect the vaxxed from the unvaxxed in the first place.
That is how the politicians, “experts” and MSM think. Humans are the only animals that let the dumbest of the herd lead them.
451
John:
Our politicians will continue to do that which failed in the first place. They have a faith in masks which couldn’t possibly stop a virus but mandate them anyway. Lockdowns don’t work for any long term benefit. And there is ample evidence that the vaxxed can get Covid anyway (and in cases die from it) and transmit it.
And if the “vaccines” only require 2 jabs plus a booster why has the Feds bought over 200 million doses? By my calculations that means 8 jabs per person, and the Govt. is setting up a plant to produce more.
190
Bumped
Towards thye end of Len Deighton’s book “Bomber” there is a scene where where a pilot over Germany is attempting a copybook spin recovery in a Lancaster with half a wing shot off.
Seems the “official approach” using masks, innocucines, lock downs etc and more strident application with each break through is in a similar situation. Now about five turns into the spin and the ground is getting closer (IMO)
90
If masks could catch 90% of the spittle that flies when people are talking, that would warrant their use.
Just about any mask would do that.
01
On the other hand , it is the sharing between people of the more common virus that enables us all to keep our immune systems up to date .
Ever thought about the Maori custom of hongi in this regard?

When you have to sell ads for a living, infinite fictions is a prerequisite.

Which shows the cosmos to be infinite because a finite cosmos could not contain any form of infinity.
41
It gets better – the ACT in what appears to be basically acknowledging 100% vaccine failure, has mandated masks again.
But its worse than that – masks for a strain thats about as dodgy as a cold?
So the ACT is now a poster child for lack of logic, and a medical train wreck.
Oh…and its Christian xmas time, timing has not gone unnoticed either….

Keeping the pressure on by exposing the truth.
The Cabal know if they lose it’s them up against the wall which is why the pressure on the masses has been ramping up worldwide.
Breaking: Pfizer has just acquired Arena Pharmaceuticals, a company specialising in cardiac medicines and auto-immune diseases.
So you can now rest assured Pfizer can now sell the solutions to their problems too.
340
Of course! The vertical integration business model would say you create a solution, find a problem to attach it to, look at the worst side-effect and provide a solution to that but it must introduce a side-effect of its own, which of course you have yet another solution for…
What’s the bet the cardiac medicine for Pfizer’s heart death vaccine raises your blood pressure, or unbalances your liver.
We’re all just sheep to be regularly shorn by the sickness industry! What else would we do with our excess wealth, throw it futily at global warming or throw it at an industry designed to keep us sick?

Qld has over 600 MW nameplate but has not made it over 100 MW for a week. Currently 39 MW.
Why are they building wind farms in Qld? We don’t get Roaring 40s out of the southern ocean. The closest thing to a steady wind is the SEaster which blows parallel to the coast. Afternoon sea breezes do not a wind industry make.
Any idea why the Pacific Ocean was so named?

This is why I like Geert best. He is multi-disciplinary so he can see the big picture WAY better than most. Those from a single discipline typically analyse and look for solutions within the confines of that discipline. eg a psychologist will only look for psychological causes of a problem.
So now we sit back and watch the MSM frenetic hype over rising cases and the soon-to-be-wearing-yellow-star purebloods demonised as the cause as if from some medieval witch hunt. Still, it’s more entertaining that watching European Vacation for the 30th time. Maybe Hans Gruber will fall off Nakatomi Plaza again this Xmas.😊

Omicron .. highly contageous,..sweeping the world ?
What am i missing here ?
S Africa, where it was first identified has a total of 1300 Omicron results…from 340,000 positive Covid test results in Dec !…..that is less than 4%
U K, with the most Omicron results at 37,000….but that is from 1.2 million +ve covid tests in Dec,..
..again that is less than 3% of +ve cases
The country with apparently the highest % of Omicron , is Denmark with 15,400 from 120,000 +ve tests in December..That is still only 13% .
So what is the panic and speculation based on ?
112
To continue…
..and for thos of us downunder, Omicron is less than 1% of all positive cases in December so far !
So it is obvious from the UK and Danish experience that this new surge in cases is predominantly driven by the Delta strain which is ignoring any increase in vaccination coverage
Omicron is just a “bit part” player in this game session !
82
More like 99% omicron in South Africa:
https://www.nicd.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Update-of-SA-sequencing-data-from-GISAID-17-Dec-21_Final.pdf
50
Rob, i admit i do not understand how to interpret what that data is displaying…but it does seem to suggest a total Omicron count of 1240 for Nov + Dec..the same as Covid live data
…but somewhere there is a huge disconnect between what you are suggesting and the Covid live reports which put SAs reported total Omicron count at 1300 , from a Nov+ Dec +ve case total of 440,000. ?
As i said,…what an i missing here ?
30
Slight missing part of the quote..
And what do those numbers represent ?
10
Hi Chad, they are getting virus samples and sequencing them. It is like a survey of virus variants. So 353 virus samples out of 356 virus samples were omicron in December.
30
Yes, that is what i thought..
But why then are the reporting only those few test results as their full Omicron count for the public data files ?
IE, Covid live, Worldometers, etc…who use officially verified data .
01
Yeah I guess the devil is in the fine print – CovidLive call it “confirmed cases”, not “full Omicron count”. Interesting, but if you follow the source trail you get to
https://www.gisaid.org/hcov19-variants/
Which gives a table with 1440 omicron cases for South Africa and 95% prevalence over the past 4 weeks.
20
Chad, you are projecting that all those infections not proven to be Omicron are Delta. Overseas, due to the high infection rates, they do not perform genomic testing on every positive PCR test. The genomic testing that has been performed gives the high proportion of Omicron infections being reported based on the split in the sampled genomic tests.
Calm down.

Assuming that genotyping is the correct word to use.

But they do not seem to be extrapolating in their reported numbers , Ted .
1400 total, from a +ve test number of 440,000 ?
Similar low numbers from all countries .

The South African government has been advised to stop COVID quarantining.
https://www.rt.com/news/543806-south-africa-no-covid-quarantine/
Health advisers have called for South Africa’s government to halt tracing and isolating people exposed to Covid-19, saying the measures aren’t necessary or helpful enough to justify their negative impacts.
The advisory committee to Health Minister Joe Phaahla said quarantining must be stopped, as it’s “no longer viable in the current social and economic climate,” the country’s News24 outlet reported on Saturday. The recommendation marked the latest indication that, in southern Africa, where the discovery of Covid-19’s Omicron variant triggered international travel bans and lockdowns, the new strain has been found to be relatively harmless.
“Crucially, it appears that efforts to eliminate and/or contain the virus are not likely to be successful. Therefore, it is critical that the role of containment efforts like quarantine and contact tracing is re-evaluated,” the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) told Phaahla in a memo last week.
The recommendation came nearly a month after Omicron’s emergence, which set off pandemic alarm bells around the world. Dr. Angelique Coetzee, chairwoman of the South African Medical Association, called the international reaction “a storm in a teacup” because the variant was causing only mild symptoms in her country. She said Monday in a CNN interview that, with Omicron cases now declining, her country is already “over the curve” on the new variant.
The MAC estimated that 60-80% of South Africans now have immunity to Covid-19, through previous infection or vaccination. Moreover, given that the vast majority of people who are infected with the virus never develop significant symptoms, only about 10% of cases have been diagnosed.
“It stands to reason that if the vast majority of cases are not diagnosed, then the vast majority of case contacts are also not diagnosed,” the committee said. “This means that quarantining and contact tracing are of negligible public health benefit in the South African setting.”
South Africa has averaged 30 deaths attributed to Covid-19 daily over the past week, down from a high near 600 in January and around 400 in July.
The MAC also noted that quarantining creates substantial economic and social burdens, including loss of income to those forced into isolation, and staffing disruptions in hospitals and other vital facilities.

Since the omicron variant took hold in Africa, the fatality rate has dropped off a cliff:
https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countries&highlight=South%20Africa&show=highlight-only&y=both&scale=linear&data=mortalityRate-daily-30&data-source=jhu&xaxis=right#countries
It is down from 9% a few weeks ago to just 0.2% now. That is similar to flu.
Omicron may prove the way out for countries with low vaccination rates. It appears to have done that in South Africa. Only 26% of the population are vaccinated so that is not doing much for survival rate there.
62
And then
https://realclimatescience.com/2021/12/most-vaccinated-state-vs-least-vaccinated/
10
Likely true enough, but also for all the other countries with intermediate and high vaccination rates (who may do slightly worse).
60
Yes, the worse symptoms being reported by some of those who have had boosters, plus the higher rates of infection for the vaccinated in Denmark suggests that there is some level of ADE occurring with the Omicron variant – OAS alone would have the vaccinated/boosted and unvaccinated showing no difference in infection rates and severity. Luckily, even those boosted are largely able to avoid hospitalization.
RickWill need to hope that the antibody levels from his AstraZenica shots have dwindled to insignificant levels by the time he encounters some infected with the Omicron variant (which is inevitable at some point given its infectiousness).

And then …

Chad, you are projecting that all those infections not proven to be Omicron are Delta. Overseas, due to the high infection rates, they do not perform genomic testing on every positive PCR test. The genomic testing that has been performed gives the high proportion of Omicron infections being reported based on the split in the sampled genomic tests.
Calm down.

TRUST THE SCIENCE
This is what we’re told. But, here’s the problem…
They’re not asking us to ‘trust the science’. They’re asking us to ‘trust the people who are telling us the science’.
To qualify that further…
They’re asking us to trust the representatives of pharmaceutical companies, repeatedly implicated in fraud and profiteering lawsuits resulting in billions of dollars in fines and damages.
They’re asking us to trust medical bureaucrats who represent agencies and institutions funded and influenced by said pharmaceutical companies.
They’re asking us to trust the doctors who are harassed and threatened with de-registration by said agencies and institutions.
They’re asking us to trust politicians, so many of whom are known to lie, to be corrupt, to issue directives that undermine and exploit our society and environment, and to have financial interests in corporations that profit from these decisions.
And finally…
They’re asking us to trust the media, tech-giants and fact-checkers who offer these people a highly censored platform, while accepting funds and favours from the very organisations they represent. We have even had first hand experience of this, by being blocked on major social media sites many times over now for simply spreading this message of “ask better questions”.
And despite these countless ‘conflicts of interest’…
They will criticise us for questioning. For ‘doing our own research’. For verifying sources. For seeking full context rather than ‘cherry-picked’ data. For consulting other credible experts. For considering, rather than dismissing, contradictory information. For lending an ear to those who cry foul play. For weighing up a broader scope of data and perspectives to improve our chances of being ‘right’ while always leaving room for being ‘wrong’. This is what was formerly known as a ‘scientific approach’.
And yet today, if we take such an approach, we’re a ‘conspiracy theorist’.

Thanks David. Had to LOL when PJW mentioned the nerds becoming sexy rock-stars due to Covid19 hysteria….Look at Jane Halton’s brother-in-law Brett Sutton in Victoria.
Jane works extensively for Bill Gates (at the WHO: and for GAVI and for CEPI: google these) to get Bill’s injections into everyone possible. Jane also chairs Crown Resorts in OZ and aims to get as many people as possible into her Hotels doing Quarantine. Jane also heads ScoMo’s Covid19 response Commission, recommending lotsa Bill’s “vaccines” and lotsa Crown’s hotels. Anyone see a possible conflict of interest in all that? Not nerdy Brett of course…
Nerdy Brett is 100% behind ALL his sister-in-laws efforts. And is the “sexiest Chief Health / Medical Officer alive”.
This hero-worship of serial citizen-abusers reminds me of those chicks writing love letters to serial killers in gaol. What is it with these wannabe prisoners and their love of being pushed around?

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday it received reports of eight cases of a heart inflammation called myocarditis in children ages 5 to 11 who had been vaccinated against COVID-19 with Pfizer-BioNTech.
“The agency said there had been over 7 million vaccine doses in the 5-11 age group at the time it examined the data, with 5.1 million first doses and 2 million second doses.
“The cases had “a mild clinical course,” the CDC said, as reported by Reuters.
“The cases were reported in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and presented by the CDC to a panel of its expert advisers.
Geet vander Boschhe appears to strenuously insist that we should not vaccinate kids, and boosters are insane
See :
https://www.voiceforscienceandsolidarity.org/scientific-blog/the-keys-to-unlock-the-golden-gate-of-herd-immunity-towards-sars-cov-2
“Under no circumstances should young and healthy people be vaccinated as it will only erode their protective innate immunity towards Coronaviruses (CoV) and other respiratory viruses.
“Their innate immunity normally/ naturally largely protects them and provides a kind of herd immunity in that it dilutes infectious CoV pressure at the level of the population, whereas mass vaccination turns them into shedders of more infectious variants

Despite many publications saying that Vitamin D deficiency leads to greater susceptibility to covid and other diseases, this paper from China claims no such association.
Note that from all I’ve read, Vit D supplementation after infection is pointless as it takes weeks to act (plus see John Campbell interview with Israeli doctor about Vit D and covid).
I checked the author affiliation and funding and they are not (apparently) affiliated for Big Pharma but they do represent the Chicomms.

Studies that are scientifically 100% incorrect are not scientific studies. They are tricky, sophisticated means of creating doubt and uncertainty about how to stop covid.
It is a fact that severely Vit D deficient people do not have any immune response. The researchers have created a genetic altered line of mice that have been genetically altered so the mice cannot produce Vit D. Breeding a line of mice that cannot produce Vit D was done to produce mice that have zero immune response to test drugs.
My daughter worked in Saudi Arabia in a large hospital and treated tribal women who have been covered for life. These super Vit D deficient people (Vit D blood serum 12 ng/ml) have type 2 diabetes and are gradually dying.
There are other facts/observations that the Vit D deficiency paradigm explains … Twice as many US Blacks are dying as US whites of covid and in the UK it is three times as many. This also explains why there are twice as many US blacks that have type 2 diabetes than whites. Vit D deficiency makes humans weak and sickly. Keeping humans in dark, poorly light cells is a method of torture which is effective because it makes people weak and sickly.

“Low vitamin D levels do not aggravate COVID-19 risk or death, and vitamin D supplementation does not improve outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19: a meta-analysis and GRADE assessment of cohort studies and RCTs”
It’s my understanding that whilst there may not be a huge benefit if you end up hospitalised, the D3 level has a significant effect on whether you end up in hospital or not. Significant co-morbidities have an impact as well I would have thought.
50
“……. vitamin D supplementation does not improve outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19: a meta-analysis and GRADE assessment of cohort studies and RCTs””
Is there a statement in the paper regarding what the level of vitamin D supplementation the researchers were using?

A pointed statement from the White House toward unvaccinated Americans has drawn reactions over its directness in speaking to people who have not had their shots, as well as criticism from those who felt the message was poorly conceived.
In a virtual press conference broadcast by the White House on Friday, COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients spoke frankly to Americans who, more than a year after COVID-19 vaccines became available, have not gotten the shots.
“For the unvaccinated,” Zients said, “you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”
Olivia Nuzzi, a Washington, D.C. reporter for New York Magazine, was among those questioning the strategy of the statement.
“Who is this for?” she asked. “Unvaccinated Americans are not going to be persuaded by messaging like this.”

Conclusion:
“Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.”

I hadn’t heard it was used to treat HIV.
Big Pharma no doubt put a stop to that and replaced it with patented drugs.

I was watching a UK doco last week about medical understanding of human sexual behaviour .
Regarding HIV it explaind that the big breakthrough for HIV treatment was when a study revealed that circumcised men were hugely more resistant to it.
Reason was tracked to some cells specific to the foreskin that can “host” the HIV virus.
Once that was understood, a clinical solution was engineered to neutralise the cell functions.

Pfizer and Microsoft sponsor the party of the new German Health Minister.
No conflict of interest whatsoever. Nothing to see here.
https://freewestmedia.com/2021/12/17/pfizer-and-microsoft-sponsored-party-of-new-german-health-minister/
Pfizer and Microsoft, among others, were allowed to sponsor the Social Democratic Party’s latest congress. The SPD’s justification for this form of institutionalized corruption is their shrinking membership.
Against the background of falling income and increasing expenses, sponsorship is essential for us. . .
In other words: Because it is elected by so few citizens and has so few members, the SPD’s income has to be paid by corporate lobbyists.
Together with Biontech, Pfizer has been producing an injection with unrestricted patent protection which was rigorously defended by the SPD even before the election. With a compulsory vaccination for health workers and perhaps soon a general vaccination requirement, Pfizer hopes that all citizens will be obliged to purchase its product, possibly every six months.
This explains the SPD’s choice for the Minister of Health: The inveterate pharmaceutical lobbyist Karl Lauterbach.

Witches executed 300 years ago in Scotland are to be posthumously pardoned.
That should be a relief to them.
https://alethonews.com/2021/12/19/witches-executed-300-years-ago-to-be-posthumously-pardoned/
Thousands of people, mostly women and girls, who were accused of witchcraft in Scotland hundreds of years ago are set to be pardoned following a two-year long campaign by the Witches of Scotland activist group.
The women’s alleged crimes were reportedly as varied as causing hangovers to meeting with the Devil — and more than half of those accused under the Witchcraft Act between 1563 and 1736 were executed. According to estimates cited by the Sunday Times, some 85% of the victims were female.
And while in the West, the prosecution of witches ceased by the late 18th century, elsewhere in the world witchcraft is still considered a crime. Saudi Arabia, for example, established an anti-witchcraft unit in 2009 and accused women have even been put to death. Similarly, the Central African Republic doles out extremely harsh punishments to those accused of being witches.
80
Yup, the un-vaxxed will be pardoned in a hundred years or two, once everyone who made their millions is dead and the dust has settled. I will be unsurprised to see the burning torches and the mobs with pitchforks out in the near future, hunting down the disobeyers.

“Assuming a low average of 50 pages per hour per person, even to review the hundreds of thousands of pages the FDA estimates, the agency would need just 19 reviewers to work full-time for 12 weeks to review and produce these documents — which is a tiny fraction of its approximately 18,000 employees,” said PHMPT in a legal brief filed Monday.

Snowfall EVERY DAY Atop Kilimanjaro – Where Is Al Gore?
https://climaterealism.com/2021/12/snowfall-every-day-atop-kilimanjaro-where-is-al-gore/
In his 2006 Hollywood movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore solemnly warns that “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.” A decade and a half later, Al Gore’s glum prediction is not aging well. In fact, a look at today’s 7-day forecast for Kilimanjaro shows snow falling atop the mountain every day for the next week. Moreover, high temperatures atop the mountain will remain at least 10 degrees below zero every day atop the mountain.
Abundant snow atop Kilimanjaro is nothing unusual. Not only does snow still fall atop Kilimanjaro, the mountain has had snow cover every single day since Gore made his movie. In fact, so much snow fell in 2018 that there were record increases in snow depth on the mountain.
The author of the Just Kilimanjaro website recently reported that the entire mountain peak is covered with snow:
“The writer of this article observed during this week’s flight closer to the mountain, recovering snow piled up, covering the whole mountain peak.”
If Facebook and Big Tech are going to censor and ban global warming videos that they claim contain misinformation and factual errors, then Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” should be banned from the Internet.

Business continuity planning
The Queensland Government is working with agribusinesses to help prepare them for future COVID-19 incidents by adopting business continuity plans and COVID safe practices.
These measures will help assist agribusinesses as COVID-19 cases are expected to increase in Queensland, putting at risk the supply of food and fibre due to staff absences and potential lockdowns.
By adopting COVID safe measures, agribusinesses will minimise the impact of COVID-19 on their employees, business, and community. It is important that the Queensland community prioritise COVID-19 vaccination and booster vaccinations. Information about when and where to get your vaccination booster is now available.
Agribusiness employers can protect their businesses from COVID-19 by adopting a business continuity plan (BCP), keeping records of COVID safe practices, getting tested, promoting vaccination and vaccination boosters, and using the Check In Qld app.
Employees can protect themselves, their colleagues and their jobs from COVID-19 by getting vaccinated, using the Check In Qld app, following their employer’s COVID safe practices, and getting tested if they experience COVID-19 symptoms.
Queensland agribusinesses can access business continuity planning resources by visiting our BCP eHub.

Why are the people not taking the the covid vaccine being blamed for its ineffectiveness?
100
Because they don’t work, have unknown long term consequences and the uninjected don’t boost Pfizer’s bottom line. I think there is going to be “vaccine”:regret among the injected as their immune system is destroyed and never ending booster are needed just to stay alive.
80
It’s becoming a witch-hunt by the instigators of the scam by telling the vaccinated people to turn on the unvaccinated. That’s the how. As to why, well just follow the money.
100
Advertising to sell stuff and the politics of control would be quite sufficient for the why. The love of money is the root of all evil.
This is not to say I don’t recognize that a booster will be necessary for me, and I will be taking one on schedule, if/when a new dangerous variant is taking off.
However, I spent the first half of Dec in hospital, with serious issues arising from two small tumors in the base of my spinal chord just above the junction where the chord diverges to go down both legs. Curiously, I got a fever, massive vomiting, and 2 weeks of incredible migraine with this, which I have never had, to go with that. Extreme light and sound sensitivity, hypertension regular swings between 155 to 225 (for a couple of weeks). Felt like a stroke was very likely. Almost no potassium in my system, and mild diabetes-2 diagnosed in my final 2 days in hospital (no sunlight, and not taking D3 any more while in hospital combined with a weakened state.
OK, lots of people get similar issues every day, so big deal. Except for one thing, I have never spent a day, or a night, in a hospital, in my whole life since my week of birth prior to that.
And almost never went to a doctor except for a pneumonia in 2008 which my immune system actually fought off by itself with a bit of Neurofen to ease the pain from a damaged rib cage (where it joins the spine) from coughing so much, for weeks. I could have gone to a hospital, but didn’t. So I don;t go to a hospital at the drop of a hat.
To suddenly get so sick, from so many seemingly unrelated causes is very strange. I vomited 17 times in a single day was nauseous for 10 days, could not eat a thing. I had not vomited for about 20 years before that. And how do two small tumors in my spinal chord give me a fever for ~10 days, hypertension effects I’ve never experienced before, hyperglycemia, a massive migraine for weeks with hyper-sensitivity within all of my senses (my hearing dropped its level ~50%, is slowly returning), and hyper-pain elevation as a result of my senses going nuts.
I currently have an entire middle shelf of my fridge dedicated only to housing my medicines and the boxes of legal narcotics for pain (which I’m trying to not use, as the side effects are not worth it).
This, in a person who has only ever had scripts for antibiotics once or twice in my life. Suddenly I’m very sick. And this is just the beginning of it. So I’ll go back to hospital for biopsy and major surgery right when the ‘omi’ surge is building-up in QLD.
What fun that will be. Most likely my surgery schedule gets delayed for months. You spinal chord is supposed to have spinal (brain) fluid in it and nerves, and nothing else. So you can imagine what it feels like to have something else growing in there. Put an electrode in your bum and the other on both soles of feet, and turn on a 240v mains AC, and you’re getting the idea of what that feels like. Add spasms of instantaneous full-cramps that last microseconds but occur randomly in rapid-fire clusters that last for 5 to 10 seconds until you’re screaming. This all came out of the blue, no warning, woke up one morning at end of November, and this is my new reality.
Now I don’t know is this is related to immune destabilization from “Pfizer Comirnaty” juice additions, but as a raw fact, it began almost exactly 2 months after my second injection.
Coincidence? I don’t know either way, there is no way I can know, but the correlation-not-being-a-causation, did gain my attention since.
My suspicion is raised simply because even my doctors discounted that this entire edifice of symptoms could be related to my two small benign spinal-fluid tumors. They told me they think it is simply coincidence, that I had an infection (which they totally failed to locate with xray, 2 CT scans, 2 MRI scans, and 1 PET-scan and multiple physical checks and tests).
I told my doctors the above, and they still discounted that the whole thing can be related to a unified cause.
But I KNOW that it is unified, because it all symptoms started together, and on the same day, and that all the symptoms stabilized together, before I was discharged for the holiday period with a massive bag of drugs. I’m talking Coles plastic shopping bag sized bag, full of hard core drugs.
There is no way in hell the range of symptoms was a coincidence. I can not believe that for even 1 second. But my doctors are discounting the possibility it’s all related. In fact I was seen to by multiple medical teams, one after the other, because none of them could tie it all together into a single diagnosis or syndrome that related to these benign tumor growths, that are in my spinal chord, with no other tumors found in my body.
I have been taking 2,000 of D3 daily, for about 20 months, and a multi-vitamin/mineral (which for me is pretty extreme self ‘medication’) but it made no difference, I got real sick, literally over the course of 1 night and now I am doped up to the eyeballs just to operate and be outside of a hospital ward.
But this is anecdotal so best disregard and think thoughts about known, knowns.

‘Ryan Maue, a senior meteorologist with a doctoral degree who works at WeatherBell Analytics says “Cross-equatorial flow at both upper and lower levels is part of the seasonal transition of the Western Pacific monsoon through boreal summer,” he said.’ (Washington Post)
10
Yes flow does occur, normally, except this is not mere cross-equatorial ‘flow’, it is an west to East equatorial JET, that’s about half the width of the Pacific basin in the height of winter.
Different critter.

Just going to add this from JAN 24, 2018:
https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/airlines/a15874415/super-jet-stream-speed-records/
200 mph in 2018, was noteworthy, and considered an exceptionally strong jet flow, but that is only 322 km/h
And then this …
This event was calculated from ADS-B data to be a 357 km/h jet – a north American record jetstream flow speed.
And this …
https://skybrary.aero/articles/jet-stream
Maximum of 200 knots = 370 km/h.
But in Feb 2020 the wind speeds I logged were up to 445 km/h, in jets that were much deeper, and wider, than any I have seen before, or since.
Nor has anyone else recorded and discussed this, as far as I can tell.
And these speeds were also were happening in the Southern Hemisphere, in SUMMER, up to 420 km/h, at the very SAME TIME.
So no, what I’ve been logging can not be hand-waved away with some incidental blurb about routine upper and lower cross-hemispheric wind flows.
Different critter.
I know what those look like, I can show you plenty of that, but that’s nothing like a 250 km/h, west to east EQUATORIAL JET flow, that spans half the pacific basin’s W-E width!
Globally, about 200 knots is acknowledged as the upper bound to jetstream speeds, which equals 370 km/h, and the last North American record was given by the US FAA, in Feb 2019, as 357 km/h.
But 440 km/h to 445 km/h jets occurred several times over eastern Canada’s continental. coastal and off-shore areas, in Feb 2020.
These things are new observations, of much faster speeds than anyone has seen before, jets with more width, far more depth (down to surface level in several cases I logged), and thus much higher total kinetic energy levels, MUCH HIGHER!
Plus the creation of a completely novel Pacific Equatorial Jet, that as far as I can tell, has never been seen or described before.
The difference between the 357km/h official record in Feb 2019, and the Feb 2020, 445 km/h observation, is a 24.7% increase in speed over the record, set only one year earlier.
This is stupendous! So some guy casually talking about cross-hemisphere winds, is totally irrelevant to what I’m talking about.
And this is all without even going into the locked locations of the NH zonal jet flow for 6 months, while this was all occurring.
Nor the details about what occurred in the Southern hemisphere, which were even more spectacular.
The typical maximum summer jet speed, globally, is usually about 215km/h max, but in the SH in Feb 2020, the wind speeds reached 420 km/h between Australia and NZ (and this is when the bush fires went nuts btw).
215km/h –> 420km/h = 95.4% higher wind speed than typical maximum jet speed should have been in Summer!
Do you get this?
So no, this is not about some trifling cross-hemispheric wind flow excuse. I can show you what that looks like.
So I really don’t want to have to explain this to you once again mate, because I have done this at least 10 times already and it’s getting tedious.
30
Yes, but is it a global cooling signal?
00
I don’t know.
I think it is.
As win speeds rose, and variability with it, and wind cools things down and increases evaporation and therefore clouds and trade flows, etc.
So on net, I think it cools.
Plus increased ultra-dry % rh air from the stratosphere falling to near ground level is consistent with higher OLR.
So I can’t see this as NET warming.
10
Apologies, momentary brain fade, meant for wx on jet streams further down.
10
Yep, no worries mate.

It seems, Not Just US Gov:
Veteran New Zealand doctor René de Monchy’s career came to an abrupt halt after refusing to be vaccinated. Wanting to remain “vaccine-free,” the physician of over 48 years was fired, banned from his hospital, and not allowed to say goodbye to his patients.
The general practitioner and psychiatrist is shining a spotlight on the Globalist forces using Covid to help them seize control of New Zealand. The brave doctor questioned why doctors and patients receive monetary “vaccine” incentives. Furthermore, Dr. Monchy believes the actual number of people who have died from the vaccines is not reported, and relatives of those killed from the injection are receiving “hush money.”

In NSW fully licensed drivers and 300-1 (restricted drivers), it is illegal for a person to hold or even touch a phone while driving or riding – the exception being passing the phone to a passenger.
This encompasses all phone functions – including checking a message or social media, entering data, streaming music, getting directions, speed information or live traffic updates, and even turning the phone off.
Disobeying the rules attracts a $349 fine and 5 demerit points.

The next 10 days in Europe has milder temps with a bit less snowfall (by which I mean compared to what’s been occurring so far this NH autumn and winter) so they may get way with grid stability for the next 2 weeks, if the CARBON-COMBUSTION-POISON supply is continuous and stable.
But the cost incentive is the one most will respond too politically, anyway. Electron supply disruption is just an extra shunt to skewer politicians with before the next election. And stuff that lot, if that’s their best effort for the people’s interests.

The Left love to preferentially promote people in positions of employment based upon some imagined disadvantage such as race, gender or ethnicity and impose employment quotas; while conservatives are more interested in the content of one’s character and abilities relevant go the job, in other words, merit.
In the real world, it’s always very obvious if someone is a quota placement or a merit placement.

The cruelty of the Andrews regime in Vicdanistan (Australia) needs to be addressed (similarly for the rest of Australia).
E.g. those who have refused compulsory vaccination are not allowed to work, trade, attend public events or restaurants or even get a haircut or attend a beauty parlor.
No one is standing up for the unvaxxed.
It’s a cruel form of discrimination. The unvaxxed are not responsible for the vaccines being ineffective. Get a better vax and policies!

Yes and the wide use of “just in time” procedures have only made the problem much worse. It has always been a disaster just waiting to happen, if not now then in the future. Sky-rocketing food prices will be one issue people will have to deal with somehow. Perhaps that’s why they have been developing robots that “feed” on dead people to supply their energy requirements.

Yep, JIT, Lean, WCM, etc etc are all variations on a theme that fundamentally are all about reducing costs, ..and of course there is the temptation to take that to the extreme .

True but the question is how many boosters will be mandated for how long given we’ve ordered over 200 million doses?!

This story has already played out in places like Israel months ago but people refuse to use that thing glued to their hands with internet access and look things up for themselves.

Another well researched video and transcript from Dr Jim Steele and he again takes on the MSM narrative of increased co2 levels causing increasing storms etc.
He also takes on the recent, clueless Mann claims about US tornadoes.
There’s no doubt that the most violent/deadly F3 to F5 tornadoes have decreased over the last 70 years.
Of course we also know that deaths from extreme weather events have decreased by 95% over the last 100 years.
And population in 1920 just 1.7 billion and in 2021 7.8 billion. So any lay person can easily understand how our modern world is now much safer than earlier times. IOW FOSSIL FUELS have been a big WIN, WIN for everyone.

“Glenn said in reply to John Michelmore…
Exactly.This is the clincher…” is that fully vaccinated people may not know they have the Omicron variant.”
So we need to have a booster using a leaky, unsafe vaccine that no one knows the long term side effects of, to hopefully, prevent you from getting a virus variant you may not even have symptoms of !
Are these idiots completely unhinged, or is it more a case of ego and an unwillingness to admit that the vaccines they signed us up for, at huge cost, are next to useless as the virus mutates, as was predicted by experts our political leaders ignored.
With large population movement recently, we are seeing spikes in infections…of vaccinated people.
In a nutshell, the PM wants me to have a booster of a chemical cocktail that has caused thousands of deaths and nasty side effects, directly attributable to the injection, to perhaps stop me from catching Omicron, which I may not know I actually have unless I get tested…madness.”

How strange, he is basically saying everything I’ve been saying for a long time. 🙂
Energy moves along temperature and pressure gradients.
They are what controls energy movement in the atmosphere.
Always struggling toward the gravity based equilibrium, but never able to get there for more than fleeting instances of time, because the Earth is constantly rotating and the atmosphere is always in flux.
CO2 has absolutely zero effect on either temperature or pressure gradients..
40
He nails the pressure aspects, of course, as the pressure-gradient between Highs and cold-core Lows, and their relative location an spacing is the single factor that controls jetstream flow speed, volume, and total energy level.
The new factor missing in his explanatory article, is that the pressure gradient has persistently NET steepened globally, since at least Nov 2019, and also became locked in place, especially during its highest energy periods. Which periods used to be ONLY during Winters, but is now literally in any season and also in any hemisphere, and generally in both at once, which should never happen, and should be raising, meteorological alarm everywhere.
But it’s way off the accepted/demanded imperial garment accessorizing narrative it is being very carefully ignored for as long as possible.
They need some absolute idiot to keep pointing out that the clothes don’t fit the description of said clothes, before anyone is officially be allowed to actually notice this.
The fact is, the NH Jet accelerated by 25% in 2019-2020 winter, and the SH jet accelerated about 65% above the speed it should have been in that corresponding southern summer. In fact, the hot southern hem was often faster and even more expanded than the NH jets were!
So extreme events will be returning due to the extra volume speed and thus energy in the jets pushing up the variability, due to the net steepening of that global mid and upper troposphere pressure gradient, and thus to the much accelerated jet speeds.
And what is steepening the pressure gradient?
Enhanced levels of ultra-dry (% rh) air, infalling into the upper, mid and lower troposphere (even to surface level) from the LOWER STRATOSPHERE.
And no one saw that coming, and almost no one is paying attention to it yet.
But they will as they can’t keep ignore it forever, because it’s staying, for the past 3 NH winters (including this one).
Watch the snow stack-up, earlier, deeper, and its fall to end later.
That snow compacting is what grows glaciers and lowers the snowline altitude and increases the snow compaction catchment with time.
A couple of decades later we’ll get the steady glacial extrusions down valleys as the overburden uphill increases.
Millimeter level satellite geodetics should be able to log the increase in residual unmelted seasonal snow ‘bulging’ uphill, as this slowly takes place.
If the current pressure gradient steepening between the subtropical jet continues fore a decade or two, that’s exactly what we are going to get.
The jetstream as I post, @ 34,000 ft.

Hard a-port with the ship of State!! Suddenly the models that bought us two years of grief are not to be believed.. Its time for backpedalling from our leaders, they have the laws they wanted in place and they realise the natives are getting restless.

Mr Morrison said decisions about booster timeframes are not for politicians to make, and downplayed reports about a Doherty Institute model predicting up to 200,000 cases a day by February. “We saw similar numbers [modelled] at the start of the COVID pandemic which were never realised,” he told Sunrise.
https://www.health.gov.au/news/covid-19-omicron-update-from-cmo-professor-paul-kelly-0
A preliminary scenario, of many being considered to help inform decision making, presents one of the worst case of all potential scenarios including assumptions that the Omicron variant is as severe as the Delta variant, an absence of hospital surge capacity, a highly limited booster program, no change to baseline public health and social measures and an absence of spontaneous behaviour change in the face of rising case numbers. None of these five assumptions represent the likely state of events, let alone all of them together, therefore presenting that scenario as the likely scenario that will occur is highly misleading.
40
Yes, all our “institutes” that do the modelling on which our governments base their policies always project worst outcomes just as the UK Sage group have admitted. It’s all part of the agenda to keep the narrative online and maintain control. Sadly, Jo seems to think their models are relevant rather than seeing that CoViD modelling is on par with climate change models when you compare projected outcomes vs actual observations.
Our federal government has stupidly procured 151 million doses of the mRNA vaccines (thanks, Greg Hunt) and they are determined that we will use them, health considerations be damned.
