"Can always increase the trace amount of methane in the atmosphere."

Lots of ways to increase the earths retained heat. Far more heat-retaining that methane is sulfur hexafluoride (23,000 times greater greenhouse than CO2). The problem is reversing the effects of either CH4 or SF6.

"And I’m yelling “And what about the every day solar radiation that keeps us warm!!!??? More of that is hitting the earth too!!!”"

Uh, no. Charged particles vs photons. Photons not affected by magnetic fields. Now, as more charged particles penetrate the atmosphere, more clouds are formed due to charge nucleation, so fewer photons reach the ground and warm the earth. Instead, the upper atmosphere gets warmer.

True and well stated, even downtown LA everyone is traveling on the freeway at the same speed. But, I am fortunate to have some very prominent physicists in my circle. “Don’t tell humanity what a train wreck we really are” is the common consensus. lol

I’m good myself, Yippee Ki Yay! Hope I can watch it happen and not asleep when it does. I’m just along for the ride while it lasts... lol

We are in for a few very cold years as we move along.

I concur. So much so when we relocated from the leftist controlling state of CA, we stayed at a low latitude. 20+ years ago I was thinking of eventually heading north to Idaho, or Washington etc, but had since decided against that. I do believe it's very possible we are now headed into some significant cooling trends for decades, and the further north one is, the worse it could be. Much worse.

And if these data patterns turn out to be accurate, warmer, lower latitude venues will become highly desirable and in fact golden. And since I hate the cold anyway, it's all good.☺

I think you did good. We were looking ahead ourselves, But we started too early at 20 years ago and bought bugout property at 6k ft. Now I realize even in lower latitude Az this is going to be an issue because of the elevation. We may as well be in Alaska before this reality is over.

I’m glad I not at 6k. I had a place at 7k in CA and sold it. Btw, no one knows for sure if this is where we’re headed. But if the data pans out, being at a lower latitude, say AZ, it will seem like a tropical paradise even at 6k, in comparison to venues like Idaho, WA, Montana, the northeast etc...

Ours is in northern Az. Just happens to be in the zone where the northern chills drop down and dump cold across northern Az. Fortunately we are not but 30 minutes from lower land at about 3600 feet. So it looks like we can migrate up and down the mountain as needed winter/summer. But even 3600 feet might be too high unless we are closer to the equator.

But I would seriously count on it to get much colder in the next three years. I have already been keeping track of the record cold here for the last three years and it is not done yet. This is indeed coming within the next three to ten years and this country is going to be in trouble supplying enough food to support everyone.

Yeah, especially when the leftist have been trying to brainwash everyone for decades with dire warning and tales of doom about their global warming scam.

Btw, if this comes to pass, another big issue would be tens of millions headed southbound from the north.

Which is why we heat our home here in the North with 6 cords of firewood every winter, having a fairly inexhaustible supply from our 100 acre woodlot.

Bring it. The global warming meme prognosticators will grow short of breath as they run to the stores to purchase long johns, parkas and snuggies.

As long as your roof can handle payload of 5' thick sheet of solid ice or maybe 20' of snow or so, you'll probably be good to go.☺

When that happens, i just go up and shovel off the roof. Its a good excuse to have a couple of rum toddies. My family has lived here for over 100 years, and the weather in the old days saw triple the snow accumulation we generaly have today.Last winter we had snow drifts in places over 7 feet high. Haven’t seen that for 40 years.

I have to laugh at these global warming memes we see everyday on TV.

Sounds like you’re set and it seems like you’re well assimilated to that climate. I guess we’ll all see what the future brings and what our star and this planet decides to do. Btw, in my opinion all that global warming BS produced by the leftist and globalist was right out of medieval ages...One big con-job, a last ditch effort for total control.
