Vele jaren geleden las ik een wetenschappelijk artikel waarin de verwachting werd uitgesproken van een klimaatverschuiving in de komende decennia. Daardoor zou het toenmalige klimaat van Frankrijk het toekomstige klimaat van Nederland worden. De laatste jaren is die verschuiving inderdaad gebleken. Volgens meteoroloog Reinout van den Born van Weerverteller.nl...
Climate vs Weather
Understanding the Sun (Axios)
Axios Space: Understanding the Sun By: Miriam Kramer Date: 18 July 2023 "The Sun's activity is defying forecasts and highlighting how difficult it is to predict the machinations of Earth's nearest star.

This article is about the so called axial precession of planet Earth. Please also see my 2016 blog Wobbling Earth, and my 2017 blog Wobbling Earth: climate shift vs climate change. In my diagram about the known factors of climate...

Even the people who are interested in future consequences, often cannot refrain from blaming others. Blaming others, however, seldom contributes to finding solutions. Why are few people...
“Weather is your Mood and Climate is your Personality”
In my blog of 23 April 2015, I wrote about the link between weather, mood and pain. In my blog of 7 October 2015, I wrote about the 5 happiest countries which are all in a certain climate type.
