2020 officially saw a record number of $1 billion weather and climate disasters.

It is remarkable that people can show up with an Arctic sea ice extent graph without recognising it as a function of the daily and orbital motions of the Earth and specifically two surface rotations acting in combination.

It is coming close to the one and only sunrise at the South pole so that the circumference where the Sun remains out of view is almost disappearing while, at the North pole, the Sun is tracking from left to right close to the horizon as the polar latitude is about to turn into the dark hemisphere for the next 6 months. ( At the South pole the Sun tracks from right to left)-

In the absence of daily rotation and all its effects, the entire surface of the planet turns 360 degrees over the course of an orbital circuit and turns parallel to the orbital plane, The North/South poles are a signature of that surface rotation to the Sun as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth is what creates that graph of sea ice extent or the warming bands of the hurricane season North of the Equator among others things.

It may be that this forum is designed around those who live for extreme weather events, but one and only sunrise at a specific location is an extreme event, at least within the interpretative faculties as it happens only once a year at both poles.

The main hurdle is that so many lack the sense of occasion, so reasonable people would have known there is only one sunrise every year at the North and South poles, one sunset on the opposite Equinox and one noon on the June/December Solstice. As the South pole turns into the light hemisphere for the next 6 months, there is no time when the Sun remains out of sight with an expanding circumference with the pole at its centre where constant Sun/daylight exists-

I doubt very much that anyone will even open the link to the South pole webcam to see the Sun almost emerging for the first time in 6 months as it is much better to go the negative route for those with little interest in weather/climate as fundamentally an interpretative exercise as opposed to a predictive one.

Arctic sea ice extent follows the expansion of that daylight/darkness circumference as a reflection of the two surface rotations in combination causing it.

Nobody is going to offer an alternative explanation because nothing else works.

" No one is arguing to the counter. Discussion in here regardless of what side agree that the motion of the planet affects weather, typically manifested in seasonal change."

Like I said, some will have a sense of occasion while others lack that wonderful human trait. The introduction of a second surface rotation responsible for the upcoming single sunrise at the South pole (where daily rotation is absent) is a new cause and effect issue to consider and especially extended on to the seasons at all latitudes with secondary inputs like oceans, landmass and so on.

The meteorological community is always welcome to adjust and adapt without any consultation to the new perspective on cyclical weather as a means to research climate properly with all the effects such as the extent and periodicity of Arctic sea ice and what sets the limits to that extent. It is far better to give society something enjoyable to look at than appeal to extremes and especially without first knowing how climate works with planetary dynamics.

I was listening to a news channel on radio in my car this morning and one of the presenters was talking about how unhealthy it was to be mourning the death of the Queen over the course of 10 days. The irony was lost on him as he moved to the topic of gas supplies on the island and the constant mourning of climate change modellers and cheerleaders for decades. That is incredibly unhealthy.

There are people who will go cold this winter because politicians followed experimental theorists in a belief that climate and human consumption are related to each other. What they are actually witnessing is a group of people who live off extreme weather events with dire predictions attached so not content with individual storms, heat waves, cold snaps and so on, they impose on society the most miserable scenarios possible as 'climate change'.

There are reasons why some would wish to close the thread and have nothing to do with this important matter because it is not a matter of temperature degrees, but of degrees of perceptive and intellectual weakness taking the name of climate science. Anyone can assert a flat Earth out of contrived reasoning and there will always be people willing to contend with them, likewise, climate change modellers have their unfortunate counterparts willing to keep the empirical monstrosity going.

With the single sunrise approaching at the South pole, few lack the sense of occasion as the South pole turns into the light hemisphere for the first time in 6 months. This is where climate research begins.

Now Highdef, I give you the analogy to do often enough that you can extract the necessary information to remove notions of climate disasters, climate emergencies, climate justice and so on. I only wish our politicians would not make fools of themselves on account of indulgent modellers but then again, they move in the same circles.

Your body represents the Earth, the floor represents the orbital plane/road by which the planet orbits the central/stationary Sun. Your nose represents the North pole relative to both the orbital plane and the dark hemisphere which is always at right angles to the orbital plane. Walk/orbit around a central object/Sun while keeping your nose pointing in the same direction representing the Polaris observation while safely ignoring the noise of circumpolar motion of the stars-

You soon discover as you set out on your orbital journey, that after beginning to move forward while keeping your nose orientated to the fixed external point, that you have to move sideways, then backwards, then sideways before completing your journey by facing forwards. Your discover that not only your nose, but that the whole of your body turns to the central object/Sun at one time or another as your run a circuit and this is what the planet Earth does.

If you don't do this experiment, you will never come to understand the two surface rotations acting in combination to cause the seasons much less planetary climate and that goes for all others who don't see the point or other dull reactions like that.
