    Things are rarely that simple. Often one change leads to further changes...............…..
    People also ignore the fact that plants and animals don't have a/c so some have had to move higher up the mountains as things have warmed, trouble is, some are at the tops of mountains now, so there is nowhere cooler to go, like our own Mountain Pygmy-possum. Mountain pygmy possum - Wikipedia

    I am posting a link to WUWT which compares actual dta graphs from sometime sthe same source to illustrtae how the climate change argument can be skewed by incomplete data.
    It is worth looking at to gain an accurate idea of the issues over the latest 10 years.

    A little off topic.... or perhaps not.
    Observations of Extreme ICME Ram Pressure Compressing Mercury's Dayside Magnetosphere to the Surface - IOPscience

    Long story short evidence Mercury lost its Magnetic field during a semi recent CME.
    Likely to be the end of Earth one day as has been the cycle of life on Earth.

    Relevance?

    It’s well established that in modern times, the axial dipole component of Earth’s main magnetic field is decreasing by approximately 5% per century. Recently, scientists using the SWARM satellite announced that their data indicate a decay rate ten times faster, or 5% per decade.
    Source
    Is Earth's Magnetic Shield Eroding?

    So what should we expect as guests on this fine planet?
    Same as happened to the dinosaurs i suspect.
    Smashed to oblivion and or frozen solid in seconds depending on where you are.

    But prior to that event what would we expect to see?
    I would imagine a heap of weather changes on a massive scale as has been recorded in the past.
    Perhaps the changing weather we are noticing now and calling CLIMATE CHANGE.
    I mean our magnetic field is weakening allowing more nasty space stuff to hit our planet and more specifically our oceans.
    Likely heating it.

    Food for thought?

    This seems like a better explanation of our droughts to me and they say droughts are becoming much more common.

    The Indian Ocean Dipole is controlled by our sun.

    Emissions trap heat in the atmosphere which is absorbed by the oceans and changes the temperature and currents.

    BP pledges to eliminate or offset all carbon emissions by 2050.

    BP boss pledges to transform oil giant into climate friendly business
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I think the Port Kembla one is still there rotting away.
    Was it in WA?

    According to the number of events. It’s pretty consistent.
    Frequency of shift has increased - in both directions.

    The IOD has differing impacts across the continent though - some drier, some wetter.
