Research into global cooling and its implications for the globe is long overdue
We may be witnessing the sun’s last dying gasps before entering into a long slumber. The impact of that slumber on Earth’s climate remains the subject of growing scientific speculation. (1)
In 2008 William Livingston and Matthew Penn of the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, in a controversial paper that contradicted conventional wisdom and upset global warming theorists, predicted that sunspots could more or less disappear after 2015, possibly indicating the onset of another Little Ice Age. They stated, “The occurrence of prolonged periods with no sunspots is important to climate studies, since the Maunder Minimum was shown to correspond with the reduced average global temperatures on the Earth.” The Maunder Minimum lasted for approximately 70 years from about 1645 to 1715, and was marked by bitter cold, widespread crop failures, and severe human privation.

Dark days ahead?
I need to get the wood splitter out of the garage and get busy...
Factual research and data.which Al Gore types ignore...state that this is an 11 yr cycle...so don,t panic....it is normal...not man made!
Suspicious Observer. ... every morning on You Tube will give you your daily weather report all related to the Sun,s activity....
Normal people watch this....Al Gore types run away like vampires splashed with holy water...
Sooo....we should be praying for a return to global warming?
We actually exist during “nice” pockets of weather. Usually, the Earth exists in ice ages.
Oh my God, the sun, what is it?
It’s a great giant fireball in the middle of our solar system, but that’s not important right now.
And don’t call me Shirley.
You owe me a new keyboard.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
If you're an oenophile, then yes, you should pray for global warming.
I'm hedging my bets, by stocking up on my favorite wines, particularly those from the Mosel River. Global cooling would be disastrous for grapes grown near the 50th parallel.
I’d like it to get colder, if only to prove that the “warmists” are complete idiots.
Cooling welcome in SFL!
But only during the summer, thankyouverymuch. I've been loving these polar vortexes. They brought the highs in North Texas into the mid-80s for a few days at a time.
Cold winters? No thanks, I've had my share of that, that's why I like living in Texas.
They will never concede that they are idiots, and we already know they are, so it will settle nothing. I've already seen their defense of global warming if the decreasing sun spot activity causes prolonged cooling-- they say sun activity has nothing to do with CO2, they are independent, so the cooling is real, but doesn't mean that man is not still causing nefarious climate change by mucking with CO2 levels. After all, they are idiots.
I think it’s due to solar panels. They’ve been sucking too much energy out of the Sun. sarc
Don't tell that to Sheila Jackson Lee, she'll immediately order Congressional Hearings to investigate.
