If the sun’s magnetic field continues to weaken, and we’re entering a repeat of the Maunder Minimum, then another trend would need to be imposed on top of the El Nino/La Nina. It could be much more significant. Hansen would need to make Herculean efforts to “adjust” that sort of cooling away.

Doesn’t matter. Hansen and others, the keepers of the sacred data, fiddle with the numbers. So regardless of what nature is doing, they’ll keep fiddling to their benefit. All the global warming is “happening” where nobody lives (like the arctic) so it’s impossible for the average person to know for sure.

If we are, in fact, entering a minimum, hubby and I think it should be named for Hansen, to really GIG him!
