Well, those could be an additional factors in the overall play, but there're still observable facts that put in question things stated in ECHCC Ch 28 about the mechanisms behind the polar jet streams' behavior (like meandering), like all those auroras in May this year for example, which were a clear indication that there was an increased flux of incoming charged particles from the Sun hitting the Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere that month, which coincided with extreme weather and heavy rains and snow and flooding on both hemispheres, as reported in SOTT Summary for May.I think that the other factor is approaching Twin Sun and the gang.
So, never mind that the sun is active, there is another player(s) in the game that "takes" most of the Sun´s electronic charge. Maybe overall nett of the solar wind is still too low, never mind that the Sun is active; like it is described in Chapter 17. "The grounding of the Sun".
And even if "never minding" or ignoring what we see and observe, that is reality left and right, would be a viable option, there're also logical and conceptual inconsistencies and discrepancies or contradictions with the claims and conclusions expressed in the Ch 28.
For example, one of them is that solar activity, as in strength or intensity of the solar magnetic field, and the compression of the Earth's atmosphere (specifically ionospheric part of it) and magnetosphere due to incoming charged particles from the Sun, like solar wind for example, both act in sort of the same direction in relation to polar jet stream behavior, that is weaker solar activity and weaker the solar wind, weaker or more meandering the jet stream gets, while in fact those two are sort of anti-correlated or work in opposition one to another. If the solar activity is weaker, that is solar magnetic field intensity is lower, then the outgoing flux of charged particles coming from the Sun and consequently hitting the Earth is greater, as fewer of those particles get caught and/or deflected, which can be assessed rather straightforwardly from the relation between the Larmor radius or gyroradius R and the magnetic field strength B, R~1/B.
So, if the amount of incoming particles from the Sun hitting the Earth's atmosphere or its ionospheric part is proportional to the strength of the polar jet streams and 'pushes' the jet streams towards the poles, meaning less or no meandering, as claimed in the Ch 28, then weaker solar activity leads to stronger jet stream circulation and location more to the North without meandering, contrary to what's claimed in the Ch 28. And vice versa, stronger solar activity would mean lower incoming flux of charged particles and consequently lower the compression of the ionosphere, which would lead to meandering jet stream being pulled more to the South, that is to the Earth's equator.
Additional thing that makes the relation between the atmospheric compression and the jet stream behavior as stated in Ch 28 highly questionable, is that the 'ordinary' compression of the Earth's atmosphere already varies in absolute terms on daily basis. It's present only on the day side of the planet considering the solar wind and other direct or directional particles and radiation from the Sun. It starts roughly at the dawn line and increases until the midday line when it starts to decrease until roughly the dusk line when it basically disappears completely as there're practically no solar wind and other solar radiation or particles hitting the Earth on its night side.
So if the compression of the Earth's atmosphere by the solar wind and other charged particles from the Sun played any significant role in jet streams behavior, we would be observing at the same time the push of the polar jet streams towards the poles on the day side and the pull back towards the equator on the night side of the planet, making the jet streams behave in a very wavery patterns and/or highly meandering behavior, continuously on the daily basis, as they circulate the globe together with Earth's rotation.
