TGIF -Aurora…

The solar mass ejection of recent months is giving some Aurora. AKA Northern lights,Southern Lights, are active this year and beauty and observance aside the effects of solar particles going past the poles can be dramatic on our planet.

Reflects sun light.

The crowns of the globe are sometimes resplendant with reflecting solar particals.This has a cooling effect on the earth, similar to the presence of sulfur from volcanic eruptions, the mix of charged elements in our environments makes for a soup of chemical energy and mass interaction.

NASA

There are numbers of agencies that do science in the grip of our existance; one is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration. This US government organization along with NOAH are the main drivers of knowledge of earth and space science.

Solar eclipse,tommarow…

Canada data…

We like Stats can, Environment Canada,and others for good data

Facts are facts, opinions you are on your own for.

Weather and Climate not the same.

So so many variables that go in to making our climate, being out of our control make an imperative to be informed and knowledgeable with a repository of data. These are the right forums to do this. As most of us get our information through the media there is a mix of entertainment in the brew. This should be discounted and noted when coming to a position for or against community actions that creep up around events. Good luck as you participate in the economics and community of beings depended on weather as it is puffed in markets and entertainment.

We have compassion and brotherhood, sisterhood, inclusion in your grief, you’re suffering, and your partnership. Also in the joy and laughter of life when we have the Liberty of being at ease in a responsible manner. So once again join us in our humanity as we go forward to the best of our ability without harm or malice.

Stay safe stay warm…

My brain said, said, train, my feet said meet.
The end of it was incomplete.
But the, the, challenge  of place did not remake.
My best defence to for life and retake.

The rest may be all but sure; and then take the cure.
But me I want a sence of goal, and that may be you!
So stay intack untill I come to list your virtue too.
Safe and warm, set an alarm, for a proposal to woo. KDG November 21 2021
spirit come:

We meet again…

TMX-Feature

West Alternate Route.

On August 19th 2021 TMX reiterated that the west alternate route is approved and 99.9 percent of the expansion is

approved at this writing.

Variance came from request of Coldwater FN Band.

The Commission also found there has been adequate consultation and accommodation with respect to potentially affected Indigenous peoples for the purpose of their decision on the variance application. The Commission gave significant weight to the fact that Coldwater, which is the Indigenous community located in the Coldwater Valley and closest to the West Alternative, indicated its support for the West Alternative as the superior route option through the Coldwater Valley. The Commission noted that in the West Alternative variance application, Trans Mountain included several letters from other Indigenous peoples in support of Coldwater’s position on the West Alternative.

Emergency assistance to keep the health and safety of workers.

Trans Mountain is available to assist in wildfire management in BC.

We have offered the use of our camp communities in Merritt and Clearwater for evacuees and are currently housing evacuees and firefighters working in the area in our Merritt facility. In Kamloops, work was stood down in Kenna Cartwright Park and Pineview Park areas as requested by the City of Kamloops, with team members helping to mitigate fire risk by wetting and cutting grass in areas under active construction for the Expansion Project. Trans Mountain also supported the Robson Valley Fire Service response efforts with a skidder and water tank after a fire ignited in the North Thompson region.

Hey! it’s those 2 lines around planet earth called the tropics where our imaginations have caused us to limit legitimate heat extremes existence. Well between them and the Equator the line in the sand has be drawn, or not?

We are having a heat wave a polar heat wave!

So June 12th 2021 I took 8 photos of a sun dog in the western sky about 40 degrees in the horizon and the dome of the sky. Hexagon ice crystal in the Sirius cloud space cause a 22 degree circle to dog the sun. That Ice was pushed from the artic when warm vortex winds pushed it down from the pole to us.

Summer Solstice.

Summer Solstice was nearing on the 12th and the 23 degree tip of the Northern Hemisphere toward the sun was coming into full, meaning that the sun was closes to are artic pole then it would be in the 2021 summer season. The heat was creating the vortex driving the artic air that gave us a cool spring in front of it, with the Sun Dog ice along for the ride.

50 degrees C June 26th 2021

Our temperature reading comes from Lytton BC and the 26th of June Lytton was the top of a heat dome that took the town out. The heated air from the sun with the earth at its greatest tip was up to bat after delivering the sun dog on the 12th.

Be ready next year.

Be ready for that time period next year, and watch for the winter solstice here as the tip of the sun will be at its most in Antarctica on .that the December 21st (circa).
