8/7/23 – from Robin Westenra regarding the Hunga Tonga Volcano eruption in Jan. 2022:

This information is being ACTIVELY SUPPRESSED in New Zealand – Record Global Temperatures Driven by Hunga-Tonga Volcanic Water Vapor

“The eruption of the submarine Hunga volcano in January 2022 was associated with a powerful blast that injected volcanic material to altitudes up to 58 km. From a combination of various types of satellite and ground-based observations supported by transport modeling, we show evidence for an unprecedented increase in the global stratospheric water mass by 13% as compared to climatological levels, and a 5-fold increase of stratospheric aerosol load, the highest in the last three decades.”

8/16/23 – Here’s a stunning view of the Vavilov Ice Cap today, flowing into the Kara Sea.



8/16/23 – Regarding the University of Bremen Thin Sea Ice Thickness model

“Thin sea ice occurs during the freezing season. In the melting season, the thickness of sea ice is highly variable and the emission properties in the microwave change due to the wetness of the surface and occurrence of melt ponds in the Arctic. Therefore, thickness data are calculated only during the freezing season, that is from October to April in the Arctic and from March to September in the Antarctic. During the melting season, the procedure does not yield meaningful results.”
https://seaice.uni-bremen.de/thin-ice-thickness/
NOTE:  This is the model that Sam Carana uses to show Arctic sea ice thickness during the melting season. Thus it’s not valid. I will not be referring to this model during the melting season any longer. I’ll be discussing this in my show tonight.
