Frigid temps, frost advisories in parts of SoCal - San Jose Mercury News

LOS ANGELES—Winds have eased over much of Southern California but frigid temperatures remain, prompting frost advisories over parts of the region.

Bitterly cold for bitterns - The Star

THIS kind of weather is no good for man nor beast - and birds don't like it much either.
And as the cold snap continues, it is not only garden birds desperate for our help.

Should all 6.7 billion of us fly as much as warmist David Roberts does?

Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, so I'm taking a 6 hour, completely full flight, with 2 kids, sitting in 4 non-contiguous seats. Gonna be great!

Global cooling is on the way!

The 300-year warming from ‘quiet Sun’ of the Maunder Minimum to ‘hyperactive Sun’ of the Modern Grand Maximum is over. Strong solar cycles are punctual – averaging only 362 spotless days between cycles during the MGM. In 2004, NASA predicted Solar Cycle 24 would begin in early 2006, peak in 2010, and be extra strong.

I promise I am not making this up: there are now an amazing 813 days without sunspots since 2004, when Cycle 23 began to weaken - including 7-10 October 2010. Late cycles are weak; and indeed, Cycle 24 is very late. Embarrassing for NASA, I know; but will it now tell the world’s policy-makers? A big test for Dr James Hansen!
