Get ready to be very cold!


Yep.

Our current world system can handle warming MUCH better than cooling.

Al Gore and friends know that. They want to ensure they survive. Thus, the lies.

Yeah...never let a crisis go to waste...

Fits in with the Obama - Ayres theory....

......Grathwohl was also an informant for the FBI.

In an interview from the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide that recently surfaced, Grathwohl discussed what the Weathermen intended to do after overthrowing the U.S. government, including what they would do with those Americans who refused to embrace communism.

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”

Twenty-five million people.

I have been saying with ISON coming closer we are going to see some trippy Sh—! And hopefully we are going to live through all of it. Be prepared for anything.

A few years back, I heard an explanation of what goes on.

The sun is basically plasma, which means there are free electrons everywhere, and electric currents happen.

As the sun rotates, the coriolis force causes currents to form. The best way to describe them is they follow a pattern that looks like the shape of a slinky. Remember the old slinkys that would walk down stairs, etc?

So we get this long, tubular, but slinky shaped current.

Over time, this long tube starts to wrap itself into a spiral shape - shaped like a slinky!

These long tubes keep forming and getting more and more complex, with increasing magnetic and electric energy.

Eventually, the energy density gets so high, that the whole thing basically shorts itself out and collapses. Trillions, probably quadrillions of watts are involved.

That’s the reason sunspots look dark. The energy contained in it is in the wrapped electric/magnetic fields, and not the normal optical type energy you see on the surface of the sun. Even though the energy in the sunspots vastly exceeds the normal thermal energy on the surface.

I’m not a stellar meteorologist, so not sure how accurate the guys description was, but made a lot of sense to me!

If we do head into another significant solar minimum, I wonder if this one ought to be called the “Watts Minimum”? IMHO the wattsupwiththat blog has done more to support rational climate science than any other single outlet. Kind of a dubious honor, though.

Actually, our tech base is better capable of producing heat instead of cooling - if that’s what we want to do.

If we have another Maunder Minimum this world is going to be thrown into chaos. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few billion starve.

OH NO DONT TELL THIS TO JIM BAKER ....OR WE’RE ALL GONNA HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT ‘END OF DAYS’ SCHTICK...AGAIN AND ....FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, TOO

...I DONT HOW MANY TIMES IT’S BEEN NOW THAT I’VE SOLD MY EARTHLY GOODS AT DEEP DEEP DISCOUNT ....THEN STOOD WAITIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR THEM CHARIOTS TO SWING LOW AND CARRY ME A-HOME.

ONE OF THESE TIMES I MIGHT END UP ROAD KILL.....I’M GETTIN TOO OLD AND TOO FEEBLE FOR ALL THIS. WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT? SOME DUMB BUNNY HOPS UP AND START TELLIN US THE EARTH IS A HEATIN UP AND WE’RE ALL ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE!

Can’t the government declare the sun a blight and use eminent domain to take it over?

too late, the city of Logansport just annexed the sun....wait till you get your next utility bill!!

From Amazon Re: Cold Sun. “Publisher: Trafford Publishing (May 31, 2011)Someone with the ability to track the purchase orders of government agencies weapons and munitions orders might be able to correlate those purchases with other government activities and directives that might relate to this information publication date.

Okay. I’m heading for the Reynolds Wrap Quality Aluminum Foil now.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

That should be Monsanto modified seeds; not GE modified seeds. *<];-')

UH, OH....

The Maunder Minimum coincided with the middle—and coldest part—of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America were subjected to bitterly cold winters. A causal connection between low sunspot activity and cold winters has recently been made using data from the NASA's Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment which shows that solar UV output is more variable over the course of the solar cycle than scientists had previously thought.
