Italy also getting pounded with snow a really cold weather in summer. http://www.meteoweb.eu/2019/06/neve-dolomiti-nevicata-marmolada-2c/1276991/ Weather, more than Summer! The snow returns to the Dolomites: intense snowfall on the Marmolada with -2 ° C

The winter solstice has delivered an unseasonably cold snap, with some parts of the country chilling through their lowest temperatures in decades. South Australia’s Coonawarra region experienced its coldest day in 37 years on Saturday, when temperatures dropped to -3.8C. It is predicted the region will continue its freezing mornings over the coming days with temperatures dropping to -5C, which would be the coldest temperatures felt in the area for 47 years
http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.c...ournalid=161&doi=10.11648/j.earth.20190803.13 Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assumes that the inclining atmospheric CO2 concentration over recent years was almost exclusively determined by anthropogenic emissions, and this increase is made responsible for the rising temperature over the Industrial Era. Due to the far reaching consequences of this assertion, in this contribution we critically scrutinize different carbon cycle models and compare them with observations. We further contrast them with an alternative concept, which also includes temperature dependent natural emission and absorption with an uptake rate scaling proportional with the CO2 concentration. We show that this approach is in agreement with all observations, and under this premise not really human activities are responsible for the observed CO2 increase and the expected temperature rise in the atmosphere, but just opposite the temperature itself dominantly controls the CO2 increase. Therefore, not CO2 but primarily native impacts are responsible for any observed climate changes.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190703121407.htm New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth's climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an 'umbrella effect'. "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has discussed the impact of cloud cover on climate in their evaluations, but this phenomenon has never been considered in climate predictions due to the insufficient physical understanding of it," comments Professor Hyodo. "This study provides an opportunity to rethink the impact of clouds on climate. When galactic cosmic rays increase, so do low clouds, and when cosmic rays decrease clouds do as well, so climate warming may be caused by an opposite-umbrella effect. The umbrella effect caused by galactic cosmic rays is important when thinking about current global warming as well as the warm period of the medieval era."
https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.00165 No experimental evidence for the significant anthropogenic climate change Abstract. In this paper we will prove that GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 fail to calculate the influences of the low cloud cover changes on the global temperature. That is why those models give a very small natural temperature change leaving a very large change for the contribution of the green house gases in the observed temperature. This is the reason why IPCC has to use a very large sensitivity to compensate a too small natural component. Further they have to leave out the strong negative feedback due to the clouds in order to magnify the sensitivity. In addition, this paper proves that the changes in the low cloud cover fraction practically control the global temperature. Conclusion We have proven that the GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 cannot compute correctly the natural component included in the observed global temperature. The reason is that the models fail to derive the influences of low cloud cover fraction on the global temperature. A too small natural component results in a too large portion for the contribution of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. That is why IPCC represents the climate sensitivity more than one order of magnitude larger than our sensitivity 0.24°C. Because the anthropogenic portion in the increased CO2 is less than 10%, we have practically no anthropogenic climate change. The low clouds control mainly the global temperature. chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf
Not exactly. Galactic cosmic rays outside the heliopause are basically constant. The difference maker for us on Earth is our sun’s magnetic field. When we are near a solar minimum like we are now, the sun’s magnetic field is weak. This allows more comic rays to strike the Earth’s atmosphere, causing tiny condensation trails like one would see in a cloud chamber that contains a radioactive element. These condensation trails reflect sunlight back out into space and thus our planet is cooler than it would be otherwise. Some believe we should have seen a greater drop in average global temperatures than we have. If this belief reflects reality, the next time our sun cycle goes through a solar maximum, modern era high temperature records should fall by a significant margin. Edit: Add: As solar influx increases as well.

The world’s first commercial-scale fusion reactor project is on track to officially launch operations at the end of 2025, said spokeswoman Sabina Griffith, but it will take at least a decade to fully power up the facility. “The date for First Plasma is set; we will push the button in December 2025,” Griffith said. “It will take another 10 years until we reach full deuterium-tritium operations.” Thirty-five nations are cooperating on the project to bring fusion power to the masses.
