Watts Up with That is still down today. The Manhattan Contrarian is down. If we want to complain about Net Zero fantasyland, is Jo Nova the last bastion of online resistance? (At least for the rest of this week, anyway.)

WUWT is making a major update — announced a week ago. The open access (free) site will have more ads, but the site should respond faster and there will be other improvements. Patience.
110
Yes, I knew a week ago that WUWT was going down temporarily for a major restructuring. I have an appreciation of what is involved here because ten years of my four decades in nuclear were in IT positions managing and programming databases of one kind or another.
Having done something similar myself in the early 2000’s on a similar scale, and with the assistance of a three-person team before and after, I will not be surprised if a week passes before WUWT is back up again and running smoothly.
121
Really thats a choice , usually driven by cost or services that can easily be foregone or substituted. A week down for an update would not be acceptable in the business world.

yarpos: “Really that’s a choice, usually driven by cost or services that can easily be foregone or substituted. A week down for an update would not be acceptable in the business world.”
It’s Friday morning here in the Middle of Nowhere, US eastern Washington State. From my perch here on the old homestead, I can see that WUWT is still down, something which is not a surprise to me.
Making this kind of transition is a big, big job. The last time I was involved in one of these in the early 2000’s, we first built a test area where we revised all the client side programs and the SQL Server database structures.
We then wrote a series of one-time specialized scripts and programs to dump the data out of the old SQL Server tables into the new, making appropriate data definition revisions as applicable. This took a three-person team about three months.
The end-to-end conversion process final run was designed to be done in the space of about six hours real time. But before we did the final production run conversion, we had already done four or five test runs to be sure the entire process worked reliably from beginning to end.
Each of those runs revealed bugs in the conversion process which had to be addressed. Other bugs were found in the client side software and in the SQL Server stored procedures which had to be addressed before the final conversion run.
The final conversion run itself went off without a hitch. The revised application came back up with no bugs that were of any consequence.
The biggest problem we faced afterwards was that some in the user community didn’t like parts of the revised system. Our response was that they had been informed of the upcoming changes months before and that they hadn’t spoken up when given the chance to do so.

In the following video Dr Steve Turley discusses the woke Cracker Barrel rebrand by the DEI CEO.
Even President TRUMP commented on this Regressive Left madness which sent the company the way of Bud Light, Jaguar, Disney and Target.
They have now reversed their ridiculous decision and President TRUMP congratulated them.
Get woke, go broke! It works every time.
Why do companies keep employing Regressive Leftists as CEOs? Wokeness guarantees market loss or even bankruptcy.

On 4/7/2025 Cracker Barrel (CBRL) hit a low of 35.11 USD. On 7/22/2025 it was 71.86 USD. Then the “wokeness” was revealed and it dropped. Now it is back up to over 60. Who lost and who made money would be interesting.

John Hultquist made this comment below yesterday. It was in connection with a figure he quoted that related to Global warming. I also have used the step analogy he describes below-Walking up One step is about the UK’s contribution to so called CO2 heating on the basis that temperature drops as you ascend.
“Assuming the issue is “degrees”, let me try this – – –
The tallest building in Australia is the Q1 Tower with 78 floors standing at 322.5 meters tall. [so says Duck Assist] Each floor is about 4.13m.
The dry adiabatic lapes rate is 0.65 C° per 100 meters. This means that for 300 meters you ascend, the temperature generally drops by approximately 1.95 C°; going down the reverse occurs. With a bit more arithmetic, roughly – ignore the 22.5 m – I get that going from the top floor to the one directly beneath it (#78 to #77), about 15 stairsteps, the temperature will go up by 0.0065 C°. That’s 0.00043 per step.
If Earthlings do everything António Guterres, UN Sec-Gen, asks them to do we will NOT experience the dramatic increase in temperature equivalent to taking a single step (about 20 cm), down.
The average citizen’s response would be “Huh?”
Firstly, I think we have to make the concept as simple as possible-stairs are a good concept. However, People do not understand complex figures with lots of noughts. So what is 0.000043 per step as words? What is the context of the quote from Gutteres-is there a link?

“Do unemployed young people have themselves to blame?”
No, they’re blaming their parents for the way they were brought up! The generation where there are no losers… or winners.
70
These young ones seem not to understand that they have experienced little that could be described as educational -that is , experience which draws out their potential.
20
At least they can’t blame the boomers, they are mainly dead or retired. We have been an easy target for too long. OK I’m a pre-boomer. 🙂

Can’t blame the young for being nihilistic.
Its trending, in China they refer to it as llying down flat.
01
The “lie flat” movement is not nihilism it is fatalism. They would work hard if given a chance but much more likely they will be exploited.
20
China is experiencing economic depression, wages are being cut and in most cases workers are not being paid any wages. It wouldn’t happen in Australia.
The people are lying down flat and waiting fhe CCP to collapse, regime change is happening in real time.

Amongst my geriatric cohort and even the young uns I talk to , simply no one is interested. I try to point put the endless costs, the loss of personal freedoms, the ever increasing government interference in peoples lives, and sadly, crickets, simply not interested. While I do despair, I keep trying to get the young at least to ask questions. It appears that they already know the answers so they don’t look any deeper.
110
Is the met office inventing data to prove a point?
No. They are inventing data to support a religious belief. No one can prove or disprove a religious belief. The UK Met are there high priests of the climate religion. They have to keep the religion alive because it makes them worthy.
100
No. They are inventing data to support their salary and their tribe “The Blob”.
If an ice age started they would dump their belief in global warming in an instant, but they would still say and do things that increased the power and money of The Blob bureaucrats and bankers.

Just check out how quickly they switched from “Eastern Australia will be permanent drought” over to “Yeah, that flood is caused by Global Warming”.
Now they have come to blame both drought and flood on Global Warming because the dry is ever so much drier than before and the wet is ever so much wetter! It’s jaw dropping.

Here is a video by a medical doctor about how common anticholinergic drugs which block acetycholine are alleged to contribute to cognitive decline, memory loss and dementia.
https://youtu.be/ny7M6f1y0ow
According to Goolag AI anticholinergic drugs include:
Also, in the comments of that video there is a comment by a nurse who works at a hospice. She mentioned how she had a patient on multiple different meds. As the patient was dying, hence being in a hospice, they stopped all drugs except those for pain relief. After most of the drugs were stopped the patient actually stopped dying, got better, and was sent home!

Getting some of their iron ore back with value added in China. Gives some insight into why BRICS is such a powerful trade group.
UK has lost all relevance to the global economy apart from the occasional castle for sale.
If Brazil had similar grade iron ore to Australia, Australia would be thoroughly third world; not just the governments.
60
That ship looked rather CO2-intensive… and yet not one electric toy car self-ignited? It’s a miracle! Perhaps those cars are for the thousands and thousands of COP Climateers arriving soon for their 2025 Action Games, subtitled the Circle Of Subsidised Tyranny (COST) as in, y’know, the cost of living crisis on everyone’s lips… Ola!
50
BYD got a sweetheart deal to build in Brazil iirc. Abused the locals and especially their own expat workers.
21
SO now the question is… how do the drivers get back from the car park to the ship, to get their next car out…?

I just saw an appalling ad on YouTube promoting “climate action” for business.
You can see the ad here:
https://www.businessfor75.com.au/
And the businesses that have already signed up to this insanity have written an open letter to the Australian Government, which being fully woke, will no doubt comply.
Follow the money trail to which subsidy harvesters might be profiting from this.
The recommendations of the letter, if followed, which no doubt they will be, are guaranteed to lead to certain economic destruction. Or rather finish it, as we are already a good way there.
230
Now David, I don’t think you will find Cement Manufacturers signed that letter. Nor would the Steel Manufacturers, the Plastics Manufacturers, or the Ammonia Manufacturers, these four industries are the building blocks of any modern industrialised Nation, and all require reliable, cheap energy and they need it Gauranteed on a 24/7 basis.
Not to mention that as an Agriculturalist an increased level of CO2, the building block of all plants, the basis for the human food chain, would be extremely beneficial, not to mention any proven associated “warming”. I am thinking that a level in the vicinity of 800ppm would be advantageous for fulfilling the task of feeding the increasing world population, which is the antithesis of current woke thinking.

Was forced to watch a TV show about people building houses here in Victoriastan. While during a concrete pour, the supply company explained how their concrete had a reduced carbon foot print and the material they sold was “sustainable” ( no one ever asks what this word actually means it just sounds good )Can’t remember how all this was achieved because I was trying desperately to get intoxicated.
110
My wife was watching a show about building a mansion in the UK and the celeb principal , Sarah Beeney was waffling about “sustainability” while later in the episode industrial quantities of concrete were poured.
In a similar Canadian show , the host kept carrying on about their mansion being “off grid” when reality bit they ended up dragging in a cable from the Canadian Hydro the size of a Queen Mary mooring cable. Through verbal gymnastics they said the Hydro was their “back up generator” and they really were off grid, mostly, really they were.
Just preening hypocrites really.

So, lots of ‘sustainable’ concrete polluting the hill tops near Seymour? Those bird and bat mincing eyesore machines were hardly moving in our recent wind-free weather conditions but they are ‘sustainable’. Don’t forget that Annie. sarc/

“ in all models forced by a high-emission (SSP585) scenario ”
I thought so. This is a high emission scenario shown to be highly improbable if not impossible. Any group using this concept should lose funding. Individuals in the group should be demoted to mail-room clerk.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will shut down when the planet stops turning.

You give credit to the CO2 hoax when you condemn the modelling for using high emission scenarios. CO2 does nothing other than improve the biosphere. More is better for all living things.

Y2K was also very scary.
150
The AMOC fluctuated during the ice age.
‘There is not yet a consensus explanation for why AMOC would have fluctuated so much, and only during this glacial period.
‘Common hypotheses include cyclical patterns of salinity change in the North Atlantic or a wind-pattern cycle due to the growth and decline of the region’s ice sheets, which are large enough to affect wind patterns.
‘As of late 2010s, some research suggests the AMOC is most-sensitive to change during periods of extensive ice sheets and low CO2.’ (wiki)
21
‘The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has not slowed down since the mid-20th century based on the North Atlantic air-sea heat fluxes over that time.
‘This finding contrasts with studies that have estimated a decline in the AMOC, likely because previous studies rely on sea surface temperature measurements to understand how the AMOC has changed. However, sea surface temperature is not a reliable way to reconstruct the AMOC, according to the authors.’ (Woods Hole)

Happenings on the “covid vaccine” front-
“Kennedy wasted no time. The Infectious Disease Special Edition ran the story headlined, “FDA Rescinds EUA but Approves Updated 2025-2026 COVID Vaccines.” With Monarez out, Kennedy announced on X that he’d ended the still-onoing “Emergency Use Authorization” for the covid vaccines, which changes everything.”
“I could go on and on. There are two very good reasons for all the progressive hysteria. First, even the new, non-EUA shot approvals greatly reduce who the FDA allows the vaccines may be prescribed for, and excludes healthy kids and adults under 65. But even more important, that means the “approved” shots will never be on the childhood vaccine schedule.
It’s a legal death notice. The two ways the covid shotmakers can get liability immunity is either through EUA —now ended— or as childhood vaccines under the 1986 Act. But since the jabs aren’t indicated for kids, that avenue of protection is now also walled off.
Pfizer and Moderna know better than anybody how dangerous their shots are. They are now completely exposed to lawsuits for vaccine injuries. Injuries to kids always bring the biggest jury awards. And their repeat adult customers are already loaded to the eye-teeth with spike. How hard will they market their shots?

I have updated my Sun motion diagram to include a plot of the effective turning radius with sunspot activity at the bottom.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r9GEuaAExUkzDr5K8ej-_NunXCdkJxJL/view?usp=sharing
The sunspot activity is linked to the difference of the effective radius from the average of about 0.005AU. So a tight turn and a wide turn generates sunspots. There are no sunspots when the radius is average. I expect the sunspots are related to the pressure difference around the circumference caused by the motion.
The velocity gives similar shape but more dampened response.
30
When you say the sun moves around the solar system barycentre, is it only the sun? Or do all the planets also move in sync with the sun?
Is there a good video reference for all this?
20
The barycentre is the gravitational centre of the solar system. The Sun does not always orbit the barycentre. It took a short cut in 1989. All the other planets encircle the barycentre every orbit.
This is a good viewer:
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/orbit_viewer.html
The best time setting is 1 month. You need to zoom right in to see the movement of the Sun. The Sun has a radius of 0.0064AH so the average orbit has the barycentre inside the Sun. The solar activity is mainly drive by Jupiter being in conjunction or in opposition to Saturn. The position of Uranus at when jJupiter and Saturn are aligned influences the strength of the cycle. I have no doubt that gravitation force drives solar activity so it is predictable.
50
If the 3i/Atlas doesn’t slow down, on its exit from the solar system, it would indicate that gravity has no impact on it.
00
Ok thanks Rick

I use this one for seeing where the planets are, but no solar mechanism on it. At least it works on my computer, that NASA one won’t run.

Ukraine (CIA) Build Drone Factory Next to Buildings Housing EU and British Delegations – Putin Blows It up Anyway
August 28, 2025 – Sundance
I guess we can call this a FAFO war edition. Ukraine, likely the CIA all things considered, built a drone manufacturing facility next to the buildings housing the EU and British delegations in Kiev. Putin blew it up.
None of the EU or Brits were harmed, but the EU and British go bananas.
Meanwhile
A growing trend on the front we’ve been following concerns reports that Russian losses are decreasing while those of Ukraine continue to increase.
Last time we covered Ukrainian reports showing Russian vehicular losses going up, but manpower losses going down since December of last year. But new reports claim Ukrainian losses are rising due to increased drone disparities with Russia:
Ukrainian channels report an increase in casualties on the front lines. The Ukrainian Armed Forces lose up to 300 trucks, pickups, motorcycles, minibuses, ATVs, and other logistics vehicles per day. Additionally, up to 40-50 units of more expensive armored vehicles, tanks, armored cars, and air defense systems are lost every day.
All these losses mean that the infantry and drone operators are taking over the war. However, the number of experienced drone operators is steadily decreasing. In 2024, an experienced drone operator had a lifespan of five to 11 months, with a survival rate of 70%. Now, an operator has a maximum lifespan of five months, and the survival rate has dropped to 30%. The war is becoming more expensive for Ukraine every day, leading to a catastrophic situation. Busification and attempts at a “technological breakthrough” only prolong the agony. According to many Ukrainian analysts, only the intervention of NATO countries and the United States can save Ukraine.
NATO drones for Ukraine turned out to be “useless,” — Corriere della Sera
. Ukrainian military admit that NATO equipment does not cope with the reality of the front.
. Russia has already surpassed Kyiv in production scale and technology: fiber-optic drones in Russia fly up to 25 km, while in Ukraine — only up to 15 km.
. “For every one of our drones, the Russians launch ten; moreover, they have more people for patrolling,” added the Ukrainian serviceman.
As stated above, firstly the article mentions that NATO increasingly provides “obsolete” drones to Ukraine, while Russia innovates with progressively modern and high-tech ones.
Then it corroborates that Russian drones far exceeds those of Ukraine:

No worries, the Yanks are coming.

…which they will park in a warehouse near the EU/UK buildings in Kiev, or maybe a hospital or a University.. and Russia will blow them up.

Now you are just making stuff up. Its important to differentiate between propaganda and fact.

EDITORIAL: Germany’s gravy train derails
With Americans no longer paying the bills, Europeans will have to go to work
Disastrous immigration policies, reckless spending and cratering birth rates have set Europe on a perilous path. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over the weekend recognized the need to change course.
“We still have some big challenges ahead of us, for example, in social policy. We know that what we have today is not sustainable,” Mr. Merz told fellow members of the Christian Democratic Union political party. “The welfare state as we have it today can no longer be financed with what we achieve economically. Therefore, we will have to change it.”
That’s a bold statement in a country that offers its citizens, and any Third World visitors who happen to drop in, generous cradle-to-grave freebies. Mr. Merz wants to cut back on the giveaways while expanding free market alternatives. He even proposed something that sounds an awful lot like the Trump Account that was created in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
U.S. taxpayers will no longer be shipping hundreds of billions of dollars to prolong the war between Russia and Ukraine, leaving the continent to pay for its own defense.
Moreover, American exporters will no longer face protectionist barriers in European markets, and this realignment will be costly for Germany.
Compounding Berlin’s woes, its electric grid remains severely underpowered thanks to the leftist government that swapped nuclear power plants with energy sources that sputter on cloudy days.
Mr. Merz famously referred to the architects of these ideas as “nutcases,” and he wasn’t wrong.
110
He is his own nut, supporting all the inane climate industry killing policy, and massive unvetted immigration and the Ukraine war, while ignoring tge Nordstream destruction, and now he wants to conscript a draft, while cutting citizen social programs yet continuing to support immigrants.

The sad ironies evident in statements post the latest US shooting:
American ABC report:
“ABC’s Chief Investigative Reporter Aaron Katersky was reporting on the events inside the Annunciation Catholic School on Wednesday where Robin Westman killed two kids.
Katersky mentioned the 7ransgender gunman having left a video manifesto in which she revealed a twisted obsession with school shooters, along with a dislike of President Trump, and made a mockery of the Church.”
Hold a gun you are a gunman, leave a manifesto you are a “she”. Change your gender to be a woman but keep your Westman surname? Is that list of twisted obsessions missing the most obvious one?
They were children.

“I’m Tired Of Being Trans” – Minneapolis Shooter Confesses “I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself”
“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” 23-year-old transgender man Robin (Robert) Westman wrote in the manifesto, which was translated by NYPost journalists.
The transgender man continued, “I can’t cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack.”
Meanwhile – DEVELOPING: Mother of Transgender Minneapolis Mass Shooter Robin Westman Appears to Have Fled and Is Not Cooperating with Police… and Retained a Criminal Defense Attorney
And
The Man Who Shot Those Kids in Minneapolis Was Not a Woman
Facts aren’t hate
I’m putting that irrefutable statement of fact in a headline, because I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Yesterday in Minnesota, a man who claimed to be a woman shot up a Catholic church full of children. He wasn’t a “trans woman,” let alone a woman. He was a man. A very crazy man.
A lot of mainstream “news” outlets don’t want you to say that. And if you insist on pointing out the truth, they’re eager to brand you a bigot.

August 28, 2025 – The Leftwing Propaganda Media Vows, “We Will Never Know the Trans Shooter’s Motive”
They just will not accept that members of the left are capable of hate crimes, or than anyone not on the left can be the victim of a hate crime.
Therefore James Hodgkinson’s shooting up of Republicans at a baseball game was just an attempt at “suicide by cop.” An Isl@mist’s shooting up of soldiers is just “workplace violence.”
And despite this trans terrorist decorating his guns with “Kill Donald Trump” and an evil mocking declaration “for the children” — the bullets are, he meant — the NYT will not accept that this was yet another bitter, crazy, lunatic left-winger who hated anyone who is normal and decent.
80
I reside in a very liberal area of a very liberal US city.
After Trump’s recent election, there were posters all around, one on a light pole directly in front of my house …
calling for trans people to buy a gun and learn to use it because Trump is coming for trans people.
Oddly, it also had rhetoric about the government being unable and unwilling to protect individual rights and the necessity of defending Constitutional freedom.
If it weren’t for the trans stuff and trans flag graphics, you’d think it was coming from the other end of the political spectrum.
I have a photo of it on my phone.
Someone came along later and blacked it out with magic marker.

“I’m Tired Of Being Trans” – Minneapolis Shooter Confesses “I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself”
The transgender mass shooter who carried out a horrific attack on Christians at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 17 others before taking his own life, wrote in a dark, troubling manifesto posted online that he was “tired of being trans,” according to a New York Post report.
The transgender mass shooter appears to be a soulless byproduct of woke.

Line ’em up – the recent US shooter events. Trans…
As I and others have said over and over, they need psychiatric help not surgery.
You’re NOT trans or trapped in the wrong body, or some silly made-up gender.
You hate your life,want an escape route and respect.
Trans ain’t it kid. It’s a lie, an illusion, a dead end, a nightmare in the making.
Time to face reality.

Trump needs to take hard action on this trans cult ideology. Criminalise schools promoting it, deregister doctors performing trans surgeries, defund them all.
Get tough!

If their ABCCC publish it, it must be true:

Thanks to Australians giving up multi-use plastic bags and riding bicycles instead of proper vehicles, temperatures will drop ten degrees and hillsides turn white as your long-suffering sacrifices bare fruition: a frigid COLD WAVE all weekend. To repeat a song I sang this time last year:
🎶 Well it might as well snow until September 🎶
Having exported your low-life 501s to us for years, please STOP exporting your rubbish climate over this way as well – we’re in for a 4-day snow wave to low levels thanks to Blizzard Straya (BS). Again, please, keep it to yourselves will ya 😃

“the August Winds. ” -leading into the equinoctial gales.
There is no recharge of deep soil moisture as yet, and it has been a while.
The big anti-cyclones brought a very sunny August here.

“Premier Xi probably won’t show, because of regime change.”
No sign of that yet EG…

They are trying to save face, the big military parade on September 3 should give us a clearer picture.
If Xi isn’t there, then we’ll have to assume regime change has taken place.

He is his own nut, supporting all the inane climate industry killing policy, and massive unvetted immigration and the Ukraine war, while ignoring the Nordstream destruction, and now he wants to conscript a draft, while cutting citizen social programs yet continuing to support immigrants.
