I cannot imagine how ground-level atmospheric temperatures could influence a geomagnetic index.
It follows therefore [if I read the figures correctly], that the lead indicator must be the geomagnetic index.
A 71% correlation is reasonably significant, and appears to say horrible things about where CET is headed.

On further reflection:
a) The correlation would have been much higher if the last 2? years had been omitted, as that is where the indices diverged significantly.
b) It would nice to see the graphs brought up to date as far as possible as they
are now more than a year old.

As you can see from the note on the CET graph, it is calculated as a 3 year moving average, which automatically holds back plotted data by 1.5 years.

There is a breakdown in activity and temperature correlation in the 1910-1945 last Warming Period.
I have not read a convinceing paper as to why we warmed so rapidly during that period. I will say the same concerning our current warm period. The co2 hypothosis just doesn't cut it. We are all missing something important....and no one seems to know what it is.

For me think IH Scout not Ferrari. This is not an F1 course but an off road adventure. We do not see all of the parameters either inputs or outputs. On top of that politics coupled with money and egos.

You must be very old .....  |

Ratty:
Yep....most of those problems were caused by using the wrong oil in those. Glad you got rid of it tho before it cost you more motza. Here that means a shitload of cash....LOL.

I love old Scouts. One for sale caught my eye this Fall. Although my wife thought it was "nice", well you know how that goes.
We envy you California folks for the rust free bodies.
Find me a rust free 1968 Dodge Dart body would ya?

Those were a great car. Slant 6......25-29 mpg.......and that was before electronics!
Think of what Chrysler could do with that engine now........but for some silly reason they won't.

magellan: Those were a great car. Slant 6......25-29 mpg.......and that was before electronics! Think of what Chrysler could do with that engine now........but for some silly reason they won't. The slant six was sturdy enough to convert to diesel. I know this because I went to MoTech mechanic school in 1980 which was run by Chrysler, so we got to see a lot of the prototype stuff. I've owned a slew of Mopars (mostly muscle cars) over the past 30+ years, but as the family came to be priorities changed. My last car was a 70 Cuda. I kept my 1982 Dodge 4 door 1 ton though; still runs great, but only start it a couple times a year. Many don't realize that Chrysler for decades manufactured most 4x4 components (including rear ends) for other mfrs.; Dana and New Process were owned by Chrysler. So when someone would trash talk my Dodge trucks, I just chuckled. Ah the good ole days  Except for projects like trbixler's exquisite Scout however, I would not trade today's vehicles for those made in the 60's and 70's. The only thing I miss is the simplicity. |

[ Snip ] I kept my 1982 Dodge 4 door 1 ton though; still runs great, but only start it a couple times a year. So Magellan, you're the one heating the planet !! The only thing about the good old days is the fact that they are gone (I know you've all seen this but it's worth repeating): www.youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g |
