Healthy Skepticism advised.

The last time the sun was this quiet, Earth experienced an ice age

A sure sign the chiviruse is winding down. Now we can worry about the ice age.

There will always be something for the children to panic over.

It doesn’t matter, to paraphrase Stalin - “It’s not the temperature reading that matters, it’s who reads the temperature”

So the Ice Sheets could be bearing down on Manhattan and they would still claim we are having the warmest year ever!!!

[InterceptPoint]

I predict that we will be told that 2020 was the warmest year ever recorded.

Wash, rinse, dry.

And 2021 will be reported as the warmest year ever recorded.

Sun spots are portable holes.

Trump's fault!! 😋

I'm confused, are we supposed to worry about global warming or an ice age? Shouldn't they get on the same page? 😋 **Yawnnnnn**

Well, first they sold Global Cooling, then Global Warming, and now Global Cooling again.

I would like to propose a new thing to become panicked about: GLOBAL NO-CHANGE-AT-ALL!

It will be the worst thing to hit humanity, ever.

Temperatures have been FALLING for 8,000 years

Short term variations, local record hots and colds, don’t mean much, that’s just weather. What matters is long term global trend lines over decades, centuries, millennia, eons, epochs.

Temperatures have been warmer than today for almost all of the past 10,000 years.

The cold weather may be influenced by the unprecedented number of volcanic eruptions in the world.

Though the overall modulation of solar output is modest, the UV output varies by about 15%, which does drive changes in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Oh no! Global No Change At All! That’s the worst! GNCAA....we’re all gonna die!

I don’t know why we listen to people who can’t even tell us for certain if it’s going to rain in a day or two.

[Ozark Tom]

Will cast a vote for the eruption of Campi Flegrei to end the Holocene warm period, to begin the next glacial ice period.

There's a very slight reduction in overall radiation, plus a slight shift towards the blue spectrum if I recall correctly.

However, the reduction in solar wind allows a much greater number of cosmic rays to hit the atmosphere, which acts like a giant cloud chamber. The theory is that the cosmic rays dramatically increase the amount of cloud cover, raising Earth's albedo and lowering surface temperatures significantly.

But but but global warming. “Experts” pulling the goalposts back again.

[I want the USA back]

So that’s why it’s so cold in May. Naturally, the media will never mention the fact that the Sun is the major influence on weather and climate.

What good is that chart. It’s not a hockey stick.
