NOAA predicted a drier, warmer winter in the Northeast this season. Depending on where you are, it might be warmer but not drier. From Buffalo to the Eastern Seaboard, precipitation, whether rain or snow, has been above average.

Kudos to the partisan geeks at NOAA for being half-right so far unless New England gets to being New England. If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. There’s also a chance NOAA could be wrong on temperature and right on precipitation. Maybe either way on both. Winter just started. But the warmer trends inspire the climate cultists to peep their pointy heads out of their tiny holes and squeak “global warming.”
I know it’s climate change; because it is not always warming, and acting locally means ignoring everything beyond your own horizon to push the socialist prescriptions for what ails us; freedom.
But since the end of the solar maximum, if you’d like to insist it is about the temperature, temps in the lower atmosphere have not just stabilized; they’ve begun to trend downward.
US surface temperature averages also show a noticeable downward trend.

NOAA and NASA think the current solar minimum could last up to 35 years or more. It is a situation that will begin to have a more noticeable impact on not just graphs and charts but ordinary joe and jane’s day-to-day. It is why I have postulated that the progs are pushing so much money into an energy transition. If they can get it on the books it will be harder to roll back when spring starts later, and fall ends sooner.
And for the record, that transition has nothing to do with climate. It’s a deliberate shift in fiscal resources away from donors who might give money to opponents to those who would give to them. And yes, you can argue that maybe Republicans support fossil fuels for a similar reason, except for this.
Cheap, abundant energy is good for business, growth, innovation, mobility, and technology (including lower emissions tech), and it ensures people can afford to stay warm without having to announce their featly to their government. It creates independence.
The so-called green alternatives are not green and can’t even replace what we have now. The green future is brown and black. From offshoring emissions and tax dollars to human rights violating second and third-world dictators to a nation that can’t charge its cars and keep the lights on or the hearth warm, there utopia is not bright.
It’s dark. And that is where they want to keep you, in the dark.
