2025–26 ranks among the strongest accumulation years of the satellite-era record.
More than 170 years of glacier retreat has barely changed the basic number: roughly 10% of Earth’s land was covered by glacial ice near the end of the Little Ice Age—and roughly 10% remains covered today.
The public was fed a curated heat reel while Canada, Alaska and vast stretches of Russia endured months of anomalous, record-setting cold and snow.
Geomorphologists Kristen Cook, president of the European Geosciences Union’s Geomorphology Division: “The rock that the glacier was sitting on collapsed.”

You point out the solar cycle event of Cycle 25 with a decreasing number of sunspots.This in turn is ‘bang on course’
for Solar Hibernation into the 2030s onwards.A Solar Cycle 206-230yr Grand Solar Minimum like the Dalton Minimum or the Maunder Minimum.little Ice Age type conditions.
The Russians and Chinese Climatologists know what is happening. Russian government is building nuclear power ice breaker ships for their Northern Passage route in the Arctic Sea.Chinese government is preparing for this cold with increasing capability of storage of food and fuel.Not windmills,but coal and oil.The reliable sources of energy.
Valentina Zharkova, the University of Northumbia Scientist,who has been studying the Solar activity for years has stated that her teams’research has concluded a GSM due to low solar output. Cycle 26 and probably 27 will show a solar minimum that is going to produce weak activity and cold conditions on Earth.All natural solar cycles from Solar Maximum to a new Solar Minimum of deeper Hibernation not like a normal Solar Minimum. The MSM might want you to believe something else is happening but the science is clear.Another cold period is upon us and it is driven by the sun .Nothing to do with mankind or CO2.
We have been warned.
I see Missouri is under the edge of a heat dome.
No wonder Deb is hotter and more bothered than usual for this time of year.
Yes, hundred degrees weather and cats and brothers and unreliable correspondents. And im covered in tick and chigger bites which itch like crazy and those suckers dont go away in late July like they used to but stick around til there’s frost on the ground. No wonder I’m drinking more and enjoying it less! 🥵
This first song may help Deb.

You’re too good to me.
The song did help, but it helped more that you thought to post the libk. 🩷

I’ve been pretty cranky lately, stressed far beyond the norm. I do appreciate very much that you looked beyond that and tried to help me. You’re a very nice–albeit strange!– person! 🩷☺️😘
Big difference between strange and uncommon,
If you prefer it, I can certainly agree with uncommon, lol. And deep…

Most of those 70 sunspots are tiny indeed. I can only see about 10 and that’s with counting a couple of the spots visible to my eyes as two.
Solar Minimum As Soon As 2029?
That will be pretty fast, as solar cycles go, but neither is it just around the corner. There’s much to happen between now and the bottom of Cycle 25/begin 26.

New York Judge Blocks State of New York’s Unconstitutional Climate Superfund Act
Monday, August 31, 2026
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-york-judge-blocks-state-new-yorks-unconstitutional-climate-superfund-act
“Today, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York ruled that the State of New York may not impose strict liability on energy companies for their alleged contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions. In 2024, New York enacted the “Climate Change Superfund Act,” which purported to impose billions of dollars on domestic and foreign energy companies that extract fossil fuels or refine crude oil. A coalition of states and trade organizations sued, alleging that the Act is preempted by the federal Clean Air Act…”
—Here’s some good news. And a less than loony judge!
