Global Warming promoters have about 3 years left to make hay while their (scary, hot) sun shines. After that, the fashionable-scary-environmental-saga will revert to
Global Cooling:
New study by American solar experts identifies a sharp fall in sunspot activity since 2007 that fits the hallmarks of a soon arriving ice age.
Solar scientists, not to be confused with climate scientists, study the most important heat engine driving our planet’s temperatures-the sun.
Matthew Penn and William Livingston, solar astronomers with the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Tucson, Arizona, have been following a marked decrease in sunspot activity recently. Reputable studies link a prolonged drop in sunspot activity to a cooling epoch or even a potential new ice age as more sunspots correlate with more global warming, while fewer sunspots are proven to match episodes of long-term cooling.
Since the formation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 the talk has been about global warming. But 22 years on the evidence has grown to raise fears of a catastrophic climate switch in the opposite direction. We look at the evidence that is raising some very serious questions in the scientific community.
This follows on from a
New Scientist article earlier this year - do 2 swallows a summer (winter) make?
I do recall that in the 1970's Cooling was the vogue way that we were all going to die, then warming had its high water (drought?) mark with Climategate, and now its back to cooling. Better still, this has got nothing to do with polluting the Earth, more to do with sunspots. In fact, a nice hazy layer of smog is better at keeping us warm.
One day we will all thank the Chinese and Americans for profligate energy use to save us
We also await with eager antipation seeing how the warming industry's leading lights turn their products, beliefs and policies around to get on the Cooling bandwagon, and what absurdities will be claimed in its name....
