With data for the first 8 months of 2025 in, solar continues its meteoric rise in the US. Utility scale production is up 36% while rooftop solar climbed 11%. Natural gas lost ground due to high prices, with some of that loss going to coal. Still, RE gained 1.6% market share over last year.

Well I was at the McHenry rally again, and it was packed again, despite new competition from rallies in nearby Crystal Lake and Algonquin. 5000 people in a sleepy Republican town. Of course, the big crowd was in Chicago.

Can't help that your life is falling apart, but the first week of October was hot here. It has cooled off to ~normal now.

It is published in the Guardian (obviously). Right wing pedophiles are everywhere. I figure you must know some.

You know it was stupid hot here last month, right? Now it is October and they are predicting 89 degrees for tomorrow.

I know how it works. You find some place with a cold spell and pretend it is some kind of trend. Then you ignore the global average, even when it is determined by one of your scientific embarrassments. Spencer is a creationist, but he can't lie hard enough to make the Earth cool.

Did HT erupt again? Global temp up in September.

In the first 7 months of 2025, solar power exhibited strong growth in US power production. Total solar production (including small-scale plants) was up almost 30% over 2024. Wind was up 3.5% to give a combined market share for wind plus solar of 19.6% ahead of nuclear (17.2%) and coal (16.5%).

Your daughter and a few others have zero credibility in this field. Everyone who does have credibility sees the same thing. NOAA, Met Office, Copernicus, Berkeley. You have been warning me about a mini ice age for over 5 years now. It just keeps on getting hotter.

Looks like you had a rather warm summer over there in the UK.

Seems like you were predicting a new ice age in Northern Illinois a couple weeks ago. Now we are back in the 80s and the AC is in use every day. Still haven't fired up the furnace.
You are the one who is lying to me.

Soon is a paid shill - just a whore. Valentine is more than a little loopy but she made a goofy prediction got a following, and it clearly went to her head when she published this paper. As for her most famous prediction of a GSM, it goes farther off course every month.

Is this your expectation for a short SC25? I whomping big SC26?

Yes, here is your prediction. "Months more quickly"? What a joke. Show me any prediction that does not have months of uncertainty attached to it. Show me any scientific prediction at all? The thing that ends a cycle early could be rapid development of the next cycle. Is that what you expect?

Did I predict anything about hurricanes? Like solar cycles, hurricane seasons are too erratic to predict. Hence your epic fail on predicting SC25 Max. So do you have a prediction for the length of SC25 yet? I recall you think it will be extraordinarily long, do I remember that right? How long?

Yes, you can cherry pick a cool week in America. But when you look at the last year, it is quite a different story. Daily high records outnumber daily low records by almost 3:1.

I guess the weather service missed them also.

Yes, that is the nature of predictions. You make them and then you have to wait to see whether they come true. Yours did not. Most of your predictions are hilariously vague. Your 20-48 SSN prediction was a rare exception, and it failed disastrously. This is what a successful prediction looks like.
