SOTT Earth Changes Summary - December 2024: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

Read the full text at: www.sott.net December closed a year of significant extreme weather events, with an interesting increase since the Solar Cycle 25 peak officially started in October. To this point, Solar Cycle 25 and its 191.44 confirmed sunspots will break recent records of activity, even the one of 1954-1958 Solar Cycle 19 with 285 sunspots. This cycle was followed by Solar Cycle 24, one of the weakest solar cycles in the last century, with a peak sunspot number of 116.4. This is an unusual activity difference and has sparked interest and research within the scientific community. Some hypotheses suggest that this could be part of a longer-term solar cycle variation or an extended solar minimum with a few peaks before a stark decrease. Over the years, we have been sharing information about the theory of the Sun's companion, and how this causes fluctuations in solar output, potentially resulting in periods of increased or decreased solar activity. This, in turn, affects the Earth's climate and the behavior of other celestial bodies within the solar system. As the sun's companion approaches our Star from its 3,600-year orbit, the interaction between the two becomes more intense and dynamic, something that could explain the stark difference between cycles 24 and 25, still with an overall trend of reduced solar activity over a longer period. (For more details read: Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection) Another factor to consider is that the unusually increased activity of solar cycle 25, not only has triggered many electric phenomena such as air spirals - tornadoes, hurricanes, and waterspouts, but has excited plaque tectonics and lava flows. It can also create shifts in air currents and jet streams and even trigger large-scale temperature inversions (trapping cooler air near the surface) causing altered weather patterns and atmospheric dynamics. It is worth highlighting that the widespread fog events reported in the northern hemisphere in the past couple of months could be related to a significant temperature inversion. It's suitable to note that sudden and rapid large-scale temperature inversions can play a pivotal role in the onset of ice ages. Some still think that the process of natural climate change can take thousands to tens of thousands of years, yet, there's evidence that they can be swift, which could explain events as the flash-freezing of mammoths in Siberia 10, 000 years ago. We must continue to pay attention to the Sun's activity and prepare accordingly. Speaking of the Sun, on December 29, the Sun unleashed a powerful X1.1 class solar flare that originated in the northwestern region of the Earth-facing side of the Sun and caused a severe radio blackout over parts of the Earth.
