Research into global cooling and its implications for the globe is long overdue
We may be witnessing the suns last dying gasps before entering into a long slumber. The impact of that slumber on Earths 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. (2)

I am in full agreement! The final scene.... *shudder*!
The most important precaution we can perfdorm now is to dramatically increase CO2 emissions. The flat earthers are suicidal. All their demands are destructive.
Over the last 20 years, some $80 billion has been spent on research dominated by the assumption that global temperatures will rise. Very little research has investigated the consequences of the very live possibility that temperatures will plummet. Research into global cooling and its implications for the globe is long overdue.
The same idiots will probably get $80 billion of our money to produce equally bad models of global cooling -- until it starts warming again. And Al Gore is sure to collect his percentage, too.
How much was spent on "research"? I'm thinking 1/10th of that. The rest was spent on hookers, NetJets, and fast cars. How else are those geeks going to get laid?
Thank you for this post.
You are aware that that is nonsense, right? As the climate cools, the oceans cool. When the oceans cool the solubility of CO2 decreases, and that excess CO2 is released from the oceans into the atmosphere. One would expect that cooling temps would cause an increase in atmospheric CO2.
Yes, of course I realize it is nonsense! That was my point, they are idiots.
Wait a minute! Are you telling me the Sun is responsible for globals warming!?
