Interesting. I do know the 3 places in the world with the most lightning are Brazil, Congo, and Florida. And they're all hot and humid places with lots of vegetation, where the wind comes from the ocean

Naturally, they blame "muh warming" - but what if this is related to the emerging theory of "cyclical events" - solar novae, interstellar dust bands, etc.

And the weakening in the magnetic field, and shift in the magnetic poles.

Best theory I can find so far is that the plane of the ecliptic for the galaxy, is like any singular star system - it has an intestellar medium that's gathering in a flat disc. "Some people" (read: youtube "scientists") say we're passing through it and the shower of dust not only destabilizes stars (as seen recently (apparently)) from nearby neighbours causing high activity, flares, etc - but also showers the planets with (both) random particles and random matter - causing events anywhere from earthquakes/volcanoes to the far edges of conspiracy, pole flips, cave living for 1000 years, etc.

It's weird how the "pole shift" crowd and the "solar nova" crowd's research are both slowly becoming parallel in result/expectation.

If the evidence is legit, then the solar system may be crossing over the galactic plane.

Spiral galaxies appear to have magnetic poles. Crossing to the other side could cause the polar flops.

This may help explain the glacial ice ages.

I really hope it doesn't flip in the near future.

I'm fine kicking the pole-flip can down the road.

Here's an interesting video. The guys voice is irritating, but the content is decent.

The channel is worth following. Adapt2030.

Not associated with UN agenda 2030.

His take on the great reset is TPTB know admit the coming grand solar minimum, and they're tightening control of the globe, because grand solar minimum historically result in the toppling of empires.

I say we should topple the banksters.

Edit: video

The lightening watch network has only been in place for ~16 years and had NO stations in the arctic until more recently than that. In other words, they have NO DATA on which to make any sort of statement. But that goes on in science all the time now. If an observation program makes an unexpected finding then it has to be a sign of unexpected change. If an experiment does not meet expectations then it's due to an unknown dire factor instead of a wrong hypothesis. If anyone wants to know if there has been an increase in lightening then ask the people who live there.
