I think that the idea the earth's heat budget merely balances the
insolation is going to take a nose dive soon. NASA JPL are half way
through a study of the Arctic's permafrost cabon liabilities. That can
be kicked out of bounds.

If you look at the supercyclones that form quite regularly in the
southern hemisphe

....you may one day be able to match them with volcanic activity. (If
the nutters in charge of archiving volcanic activity ever pull their
fingers out of the ring.)

As of 06:00 on Wednesday 12 June 2013 GMT, ther is a supercyclone on
the coast of Antarctica covering the longitudes 40 to 100 E. This has
grown so large due to heat supplied by some volcanic activity. It is
easy to imagine any atmospheric pollutants caught up in it will pretty
soon turn into mere ions if I am correct.

Thus perisheth all climatological data for the moment.

On Thursday, this area of supercyclonicity diminishes and a Tropical
Storm is born. It lasts for about 2 days. By 06:00 on Saturday it are
gorn. One of the Lows that it devolves into becomes a small black mass
of precipitate by Saturday noon and dissipates on the continent. A
sure sign of a medium sized quake. And there have been few enough of
them over the last few days.

This will be a short range series from the Fijian Triangle to the
Fijian Triangle all on the list fro the same day if I know what I am
talking about. I have no idea what magnitudes it might contain. It
definitely does dissipate on the shore of Antarctica yet the remains
do not dissipate, the bounce off tornado like. Interesting behaviour
for so small a Low and one so poorly supported.
