I wish people would make up their minds...............are we cooling down or warming up? Does ANYONE actually know or is it just a whole bunch of conjecture (bullsh*t)?

Lightning Energy Sources
Posted on August 23, 2014 by Louis Hissink
The current (pun intended) theory of lightning formation is described by NASA as:
Terrestrial lightning surely does not arise from colliding ice crystals in clouds since if that were possible, then snow avalanches would generate electrical effects and the simple act of taking a bath shower would be electrically adventurous. The charge separation observed in clouds is simply due to the formation of plasma double layers around the earth.
It simply means that the current explanation is wrong. It also means the existing climate models are simply wrong as well, since none incorporate the enormous energy sources identified by the electric sun model.
Update: Jennifer Marohasy recently lamented the fact that climate sceptics are not winning the climate war because, while criticising the mainstream climate models and the IPCC, none of the sceptics have offered an alternative theory for understanding the earth’s climate. Not so, I’ve been pushing the plasma model for quite a few years as an alternative and even been published in two peer reviewed journals though not specifically on the earth’s climate. The disheartening aspect is that it’s the younger scientists who have the scientific paradigm totally Fubarred, so we can’t rely on Pauli’s paradigm change model, when new paradigms replace the older ones from the death of the older generation, to expect plasma universe theory to replace the existing one.
We live in interesting times.
Update 2: The sources of terrestrial lightning are the Van Allen Belts, and the formation of plasma double layers around the earth is due to the massive electrical energy entering and leaving the earth-system via the equatorial and polar regions. Just Google Birkeland’s experiments with his ‘terrella’ model for a visual presentation of the phenomena.
Relatively rapidly cooling and increased earthquake both in intensity and numbers, LIA time.

The current (pun intended) theory of lightning formation is described by NASA as:
As the ice particles within a cloud (called hydrometeors) grow and interact, they collide, fracture and break apart. It is thought that the smaller particles tend to acquire positive charge, while the larger particles acquire more negative charge. These particles tend to separate under the influences of updrafts and gravity until the upper portion of the cloud acquires a net positive charge and the lower portion of the cloud becomes negatively charged. This separation of charge produces enormous electrical potential both within the cloud and between the cloud and ground. This can amount to millions of volts, and eventually the electrical resistance in the air breaks down and a flash begins. Lightning, then, is an electrical discharge between positive and negative regions of a thunderstorm.
A lightning flash is composed of a series of strokes with an average of about four. The length and duration of each lightning stroke vary, but typically average about 30 microseconds. (The average peak power per stroke is about 1012 watts.)
But research at the International Center for Lightning Testing and Research has discovered that storm clouds don’t produce the energy levels needed to generate a bolt of lightning, according to Dr. Martin Uman interviewed in a NOVA Science Now on the US PBS. Martin pointed out that thunderstorms have the energies of an atomic bomb and according to Dr. Joseph Dwyer, a professor of physics and space sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology,A lightning flash is composed of a series of strokes with an average of about four. The length and duration of each lightning stroke vary, but typically average about 30 microseconds. (The average peak power per stroke is about 1012 watts.)
“The problem is, after decades and decades of measurements up in thunderstorms, nobody has ever managed to find an electric field anywhere that big”
Dwyer’s explanation is that the energy comes not from the atmosphere but from cosmic rays arriving from the depths of space. Well almost. The energy comes from outer space alright but from the sun itself via the solar Birkeland currents that enter both polar regions of the earth-system. The energy source is easily explained using plasma universe theory and known as the “electric-sun” model.

Still in August, and leaves are starting to fall here.....long winter coming?
I have to go shoot a wild hare in November and skin it to find out how cold the winter's gonna be......

Having the coldest two months start a month early does not make the winter longer if the months that are normally colder are warmer, like an early spring. 15ft of snow in the American East is plain abnormal.
If you can find it to shoot it means it changed color too early and if you could go out to find one it means the snow is not excessively deep, like your thinking.

no need for some peabody charts 'n' graphs exploratory here:
