  1. So that's why it was called the little Ice Age? Better read it again.
  2. Solar activity was low throughout the whole of the LIA period, with the lower lows at the Sporer and Maunder minimums. The effect of this has been shown to be more than just regional and the temperature drops were significant. Your narrative has now changed and will obviously not allow any other point of view...except yours...so I'll leave you to it.
  3. Already supplied but here's one just for you: https://www.britannica.com/science/Little-Ice-Age
  4. The Little Ice Age wasn't global but periods of it affected large regions of all continents, with glacial expansion recorded in Europe, New Zealand, Alaska, and the Andes. The term Little Ice Age is well established and accepted. Sunspot activity during the Maunder minimum was much less than at any time in recent history (from 1850), since when there has been no comparison. When this minimum combined with the North Atlantic Oscillation the cooling effect in Europe was amplified. I have used this phenomenon to demonstrate that certain conditions or phenomena can prompt cooling at a similar, or even a higher rate, than today's warming. That is all.
  5. Yes. Milankovitch cycles are believed to be at least party affect climate w.r.t. long term (e.g. full blown ice age) fluctuations. However, more recently similar rates of change of the temperature from 1850-present sis occur during the The Little Ice Age, between about 1300 - 1850. In this case temperatures fell, but at a similar rate as they are rising today. Weak sunspot activity (Maunder Minimum) corresponded to the lowest temperatures about 1750. Coincident with the Maunder Minimum, it is likely that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), controlled by the Azores High and Iceland Low pressure systems had have a significant regional impact. As the name suggests, this anomaly features variations, with one of these variations occurring when both of the pressure systems weaken enough to allow cold air to reach Northern Europe more easily, coincident with this Negative NAO Index. This variation can reduce temperatures by an estimated 2 deg C. Now, the Little Ice Age temperatures dropped only slightly but the level and rate of change of these can be compared with those rising temperatures causing alarm today. Changes in climate also featured to a similar degree. I'd like to see the return of another Little Ice Age, just to see what would dictate climate and temperature. I think that the focus on GHG's, especially CO, as the cause of all our climate woes should be opened out. It would be really interesting to be able to compare the data if so much forest hadn't been trashed over the last 200 years. https://www.eh-resources.org/little-ice-age/ https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/nao/
  6. A nice and concerned guy he may have been but Carter was not a nuclear physicist.
  7. Of course it's to do with water sports: Also a concept in petroleum geology: https://www.google.co.th/books/edition/Petroleum_Geology_of_Northwest_Europe/YTqHqJfXwYEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=rift+raft&pg=PA201&printsec=frontcover
  8. You should get out of the habit of trying to tell people what to do, how to do it and stop being a noob.
  9. Just a different normal. In Bangkok more of them have jobs. What were you doing in Pattaya, did you want to join the "Strange"??
  10. A few wobbly power locations in there but the power here has always fluctuated to varying degrees even though not so obvious as in India. I had a look at your new Samsung - sites for spares for it popped up immediately so you should be OK - 22 years is pretty good though. We need a new fridge too so I'll think about a Samsung. Cheers.
  11. Improperly done how? Bradiston said he never asked for a price. Just a fair Songkran gesture as far as he was concerned. That's his business.
  12. Well done. It's Songkran after all. Got a good chance of dropping the bike and all aboard by being hit by a lump of freezing water anyway.
