It's a very bizarre site, with the ads and rambling text, but I've always found that it has very good info on things like polar vortex formation/breakdown and summer heatwaves, and pretty accurate longer term (up to a few months ahead, say) forecasts. You never feel like linking any of the articles to anyone though, because it feels like a spam blog. Very strange.
I use the latest Firefox (115.13.0 esr) on a Win7 Pro desktop with uBlock Origin. I don't see any ads at all. The text appears to adequately describe the diagrams referenced. I found it to be readable. They make a forecast based on their observations and support that using analogies from recent historic data.
Basically, this could spin up a situation like we had here in Texas back in 2021 where we had a long-duration cold spell. From experience, it was not as fun as that sounds.
Or maybe I'm tired and it only seems to make sense because I'm not thinking clearly at this late hour.
A more information-dense post with some background [edit: …background on the phenomenon and its significance to climate and weather forecasting] from the U.S. National Weather Service:
I vouched for this comment, because I feel it's imperative that someone tells you why you are wrong.
That blog post you reference isn't a "source", but a "helpful link" to a post about a past event that will, hopefully, help people better understand the stratospheric warming event that is happening now.
Appears to be 100% computer generated text saying nothing over the course of thousands of words except there's a polar vortex and we should all be very fearful of it although there is no indication of what that might be. Cool, I still can't downvote this crap but bots have no problem posting it to the front page.
I imagine the CIA is analyzing the climate, although they don't publish their analysis, since their role is just to advise Congress and white house?
I really believe that climate change can threaten global stability and security, and thus the military should be interested in learning about it to anticipate.
I guess they already know, but maybe there is just no gain in letting the public know about those dangers.
India and Brazil are two countries that will probably see a lot of nasty heatwaves and climate refugees.
Soon or later, the climate will have real economic and geopolitical effect, and that's when things turn from worrying to interesting.
>”I really believe that climate change can threaten global stability and security, and thus the military should be interested in learning about it to anticipate.”
Both the CIA and DoD have published a great deal of information about the potential military and related geopolitical consequences of climate change, over at least the past decade.
I don't see how those reports are not talked about more, and I would be curious what's their predictions are... I would guess india is at the top of the list?
I imagine people would listen more to the CIA and DOD than scientists.

This is interesting, but ancient history, and the article is clearly spam.
