Greg Pickel, the author of this drivel, got his start blogging about sports. The Patriot News hires people like this because they can’t afford anyone else. Consider the source and how they operate. Editor: “I heard about this sunspot thing. Mr. Pickel, use your vast scientific knowledge you learned in elementary school to write a story to scare people. Yeah that’s the ticket. We need to scare people with something new since climate change and corona-virus doesn’t work on our gullible readers anymore.”

The truly horrifying part of this article is not what Pickel writes, per se, but that he gets his information directly from NASA through their their Global Climate Change blog which a seriously hardcore man-made global warming propaganda site run by JPL.

Here is a screenshot of the current homepage. Note the alarming stats along the bottom.

For his article, Pickel quotes from a February 2020 NASA Global Climate Change blog post entitled "There Is No Impending 'Mini Ice Age' that he calls a "full report."

The garbage in the blog post itself is bad enough, but check out this exchange with one of the commenters.

"Just making sure I understand the premise. We are in fact in a minimum that would in fact cool temperatures, possibly substantially, but our current global warming is negating those effects, correct?"

NASA Climate Change
Correct. The change in solar forcing from solar peak to Grand Solar Minimum is about -0.1W/m2, which would be made up in just 3 years of current CO2 concentration growth.

What this means, in plain English: the warming caused by the greenhouse gas emissions from the human burning of fossil fuels is 6 times greater than the possible decades-long cooling from a prolonged Grand Solar Minimum.

Even if a Grand Solar Minimum were to last for a century, global temperatures would still continue to warm. Because the Sun is not the only factor affecting global temperatures on Earth. [emphasis added]

Exactly my point. His ignorance is apparent from the sources he quotes.

I was just b!tching to my wife that this BS is straight from NASA - the org that once sent men to the moon using slide rules.

Now, with the most advanced computing ever, they can’t even come up with a climate model that isn’t over-the-top laughable.

Solar Minimum indeed the sun has cycles like so many other things even earth quakes.
