The link between climate change and the Northern Lights is complex and not fully understood. The primary drivers—solar activity and Earth’s magnetic field—are influenced by factors beyond climate change. However, climate change can indirectly affect the Northern Lights by altering atmospheric and geomagnetic conditions. Ongoing research aims to unravel these interactions and predict how future climate changes might impact this mesmerizing phenomenon.

Is there anything that they don’t blame on supposed “climate change?
In Victoria, the effects of the solar disturbances on the telegraph system were also apparent. Samuel McGowan, the General Superintendent of Electric Telegraph, included an account of interruptions to telegraphic communication in his report to the Victorian Parliament in December 1859 . He stated: ‘Not the least interesting cause of the several interruptions was the Aurora Australis, as noted on 29th August and 2nd September last.The effect upon the wires was in many cases singular. At times prevailing atmospheric currents would entirely dissipate the artificial current and assume complete possession of the lines, baffling all attempts at rendering the communication available. Again the atmospheric currents would suddenly, entirely disappear; the lines would work perfectly, when in a moment the electromagnets would be quite deprived of their ordinary power , the conducting medium would be polarized in several opposite directions, within as many seconds, and the whole natural condition of the instruments would be instantly reversed, and as suddenly set right. On one occasion during this interesting disturbance of the natural elements, I communicated with, and received an acknowledgement from, a station distant 32 miles, through atmospheric currents alone, there being at the time no battery on the line. I may add that I witnessed similar effects about twelve years back, on a line of electric telegraph in Upper Canada during the presence of a magnificent Aurora Borealis in mid-winter.’
Sadly, at 11.50 PM Monday, I see nothing but overcast sky from my home in Hobart.

Same here in Novocastria, 4:30 am .
Seventy years ago we had great visits by the Aurora Australis but recently , nothing.

Whenever there is a report of some natural phenomenon, I always do a search for “X caused by (or influenced by) “climate change” “.
And what do you know?

Climate Change is the Shmoo of scientific study. There are several parallels.

Indeed “CC did it” is the puerile over-generalisation of our era David.

You know things are serious when there is a Carrington-like Event such as we had in 1859.

Sun events = Earth events
eg CAT 5s and 6+ Earthquakes

I did look but with some general light coming from the direction of Melbourne no aurorae were obvious.
