Touchdown for UFO's from the Van Allen Belt
The picture is not just visually stunning, it is scientifically a beauty also. I think it gives visual proof that deep geomagnetic changes are controlling climate change and not our, or any other, carbon dioxide emissions.
It shows a real image of the Aurora Australis, taken from NASA's IMAGE satellite overlain on NASA's satellite-data based Blue Marble composite image. The aurora is the green ring. Though they probably picked the colour to look nice, the intensity and shape of the green ring are for real. I have somewhat spoilt it as a fantastic art work, by putting in in yellow the outlines of Antarctica. Australia can be fairly clearly seen, top left. So as not to deprive those readers with artistic sensibilities, here is NASA's mind-bending original masterpiece, right way up:
That electrifying and electrified green ring is the Van Allen Belt touching down. A zillion little UFO’s. in the formal sense of the term, coming in to land or more often, as here, diving into the seas. These really are UFO’s, since astrophysicists are puzzled as they do not know quite where all the more energetic particles in that lot are coming from. Also, they fly. At a fair pace, hence all the kinetic energy they donate very generously to the cause of staying warm down here, or of getting warmer. I think. Look at the segment of the green ring, on the right hand side. It starts pretty much exactly at the Antarctic Peninsula, and then widens as it goes up the image, in other words, westwards. It is hereby tagged “Southpark.”
Here is the great announcement. That lot is coming down, on the southern auroral ring, exactly above where the deep geomagnetic field, is diminishing fastest on this planet, that is, at and west of the Antarctic Peninsula.I'll o back o this one:

Which is also where the most intense heating is happening on this planet also. The zone of greatest magnetic weakening on the planet lies just to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. It needs a name. The Southern Magnetic Drop Zone? For all those super-energetic electrons and perhaps protons and alpha particles to parachute into?
Here is a simple image of how the Van Allen Belts are thought to touch down:

The actual track of the magnetic conjugate point is the auroral belt, as seen in the map above.
Southpark and The Drop Zone seem to be one and the same. Goodbye Anthropogenic Greenhouse Warming , AGW, hello Light Magnetic Dancing, LMD.
I still have to say the zones “seem to coincide,” as I am a complete cartographic incompetent and though I have wrestled in a hopeless sort of way with all sorts of projection conversions, I have com nowhere near getting the magnetic trend maps, the GISS temperature trend maps, and now the auroral ring, onto the same projection. Am currently trying to make sense of a marvelous image stitcher called Hughin. It knows perfectly well how to do this and thinks I am a cretin, but is too polite to say why. I shall bash on it ever-widening circles. The images that have resulted so far have to be seen to be believed, but will not be.
Here is a map of the two auroral belts:

My notion may work for the southern hemisphere, but it clearly does not work well or at least in the same way, in the north, where the auroral belt is way too far north to explain the heating that centres on eastern Siberia. Well, I have company in sectioning the planet. The IPCC now claims that AGW works only for the northern hemisphere and only since the 1970's. So I have all of the south to play with, uncontested, yipee!
I will trespass though. This set of guesses could, however, explain a large part of the northern warming in this map, the global temperature map for 2007.

The northern auroral ring is about coincident with the southern edge of the northern warming zone, if you discount the tongue that extends south through to Iran and the warm zone in southern Siberia. For those, we know there are geomagnetic shifts, so a compound explanation is called for. This lot is not simple.
The northern lights have always been a better and stronger lightshow than the southern ones. But maybe that is just because there are rather more cameras in the USA than in the Southern Ocean.
Note that in the temperature change map for 2007, there is a suspicious vertical line in the dark brown zone west of the Antarctic Peninsula, showing an unrealistic drop in the shading. . As the GISS data shows only a blank in the baseline data there, one suspects that someone has fiddled the image to wipe out the unappealing blank spaces that GISS shows. So, reality may be different , and the heating zone may extend further west than this image shows. Or not. Note how the northern edge of the brown zone curves just as the auroral trace in the map above does.
Note also that Southpark does not match the South Atlantic Anomaly. The latter is where most electrons are coming down. Southpark is where more are coming down than did before. Hence it is heating up, in the sky, where the energy is obvious as it is knocking off photons to give the Aurora Australis, and in the sea, where the energy is warming the surface water, and on the Antarctic Peninsula itself, where ti is warming the penguin eggs.
This is science because it is testable. If enough energy is coming down in that zone during auroral displays (or at other times), to warm the region significantly, we can go measure it to check If the incoming energy is trivial, this theory can very rapidly be shot down in flames, or at least in light shows. As some of the incoming electrons, protons and alpha particles (helium nuclei) are very energetic, and there are lots of them in solar storms, maybe they do bring in enough energy. As the energy density per square metre is known in general and perhaps also under the auroras, I will next have a go at doing some rough calculations.
The reason for the climate change is that the magnetic decline bullseye at and west of the Antarctic Peninsula is new. It was not there in 1840. Then, it was on the eastern side of South America, and not nearly as deep.
Here again is the set of images, Jeremy Bloxham's work, that shows the growth and shift of "Southpark" over three centuries:
