I'm sure we've all seen this before, but how to explain this?

UBC researchers unveil first molecular images of B.1.1.7 COVID-19 mutation

Using cryo-electron microscopy, University of British Columbia [UBC] researchers studying COVID-19 have revealed the structure of the N501Y spike protein mutant, shown below (in blue), bound to two copies of the ACE2 receptor (in red).
The spike protein is the part of the virus that opens the door to infection, while the mutation is the change believed partly responsible for the rapid spread of the ‘B117' variant, first identified in the United Kingdom.

The pictures, taken at near-atomic resolution, provide critical insight as to why the B.1.1.7 variant—first detected in the U.K and now accounting for a growing number of cases across Canada—is more infectious.

The images also add to the growing body of data indicating that existing vaccines are likely to remain effective in preventing mild and severe cases caused by B.1.1.7.

... it's irrelevant, mainly. Changes that have occurred over hundreds of thousands of years don't explain unusual changes happening over less than two hundred years.

And how do you know that the changes that have happened in the last 300 years isn't part of the normal glaciation cycle ?
They can't tell you that. Only thing I know for sure is this current 12k year interglacial warming is coming to an end. We are going back into the 90k year cold period of the glacial.

Because the change in the last 200 years is abnormally steep and it closely tracks the buildup of CO2 from human actions? Because there's no other identifiable and measurable change that would otherwise account for this change?

NOAA unveils new U.S. climate ‘normals’ that are warmer than ever

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released an updated set of climate averages for the contiguous United States based on the 30-year period from 1991 to 2020.

Compared with previous 30-year periods, the climate has turned unambiguously warmer.

Didn't answer the query how do you know that it doesn't happen just like this last 200 or so years at the end of every interglacial period when we start back into full glaciation?

You don't and the tech doesn't exist to measure everything a 100k years ago to be accurate to the decade .

Directly coensides with the solar grand maximum of the 20th century .

So you want us to ignore a very clear correlation between CO2 and recent warming - a correlation that's getting better and better, and whose predicted outcomes are actually happening - in favour of a hypothesis that so far hasn't produced any measurable or discernable effects that could account for any of the recent warming?

In other words... if you think it's not A (with lots of evidence) but B which apparently happened before, then you need to prove B is happening now.

Just remember in 10 years that I warned you of the coming cold times and loss of crops due to aforementioned .

Wait it's happening now just ask the French about their grapes .

Multiple years in a row ? That is a trend . Not just weather

Where do you get this BS?

This is the real situation:

Just in case you can't be bothered to read it the summary is:

“We are strongly hoping that with all our work in investment, we maintain this high-quality production,” she adds.

But with climate change increasing temperatures and the frequency of erratic weather patterns, effort alone may no longer be enough.

“There are ways of adapting,” Touzard says, but “the taste of Bordeaux is going to change.”

You ought to look at the crop reports and how much has not been planted yet as upposed to other years .

Food shortages are coming . And as soon as they stop the ******** ethanol addition to gasoline mandate to have enough food for people you will know it is really bad.

You have the actual raw data?
How / what tools are you using to analyze all that data? Either you have a massive data farm somewhere or your spending a lot on cloud computing.

Please let me know what data management and analysis tools you are using to look at this massive data set.

Thanks!
