Uh oh!
‘This is called solar minimum,’ said Dean Pesnell of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
‘And it’s a regular part of the sunspot cycle.’
Part of an 11 yr. long cycle- may affect navigation and communications at its height.
A cumulative effect of differential rotation. Just saying.
Don’t know for sure if this is correct, but I was to understand that this is the reason that manned travel to Mars would be virtually impossible until well into the 2020’s.
Unless something can be developed that can ward off the onslaught of radiation, etc., but is light enough that the rocket can lift off and gain the proper speeds.
THE COLD SUN - John L Casey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miIEAOAOgyI
Mr John L Casey is one of America’s most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts. He is the leading advocate in the US for a national and international plan to prepare for the next climate change to one of a dangerous cold climate era. This new cold era is caused by a historic decline in the Sun’s energy output, what he calls a “solar hibernation.”
The ideas are encapsulated in Casey’s RC Theory of solar variability.
Mr. John L. Casey is the former White House space program adviser, consultant to NASA Headquarters, and space shuttle engineer. He is the President of Space and Science Research Center http://www.spaceandscience.net
He is the author of the internationally acclaimed climate science book, “Cold Sun” which describes the rationale for understanding why global warming has ended and the effects of the new cold climate era.
Journalist Cheyenne MacDonald may not have a degree in astrophysics..
Damn carbon dioxide.
Fire the alleged ‘scientist’ who said all this crapola.
Does this mean that we are all going to die again?
If the solar cycle does affect the weather, it appears that the current trend portends an extended cooling off period.
A minimum. Meaning, that immediately after it reaches that point, is starts to rise.
Want to bet that no one in the media refers to the rise in solar activity as the cause of a rise in temperature?
The next Ice Age is coming. A shorter ‘Little Ice Age’ is possible, and eventually a regular, predictable Ice Age will come. During the last long term Ice Age New York was under a mile of ice. It is a natural occurrence, as regular as wind and snow. The Creepozoid Wacko Envirofascist National Socialists will no doubt blame climate change, Globull Gloaming, or aliens for the cold. Regular humans with adapt.
Interesting that nothing in the article discussions the connection with weather even though this is historical correlation and discussion point elsewhere.
Trump’s fault.
Oh noes, global cooling again. All the chicken Littles will now have to run in counter clockwise circles, clockwise is definitely out. Perhaps the politicians can spend all that carbon tax credit money they collected to buy some Co2 to save the planet again.
I think I will just buy a jacket.
Did the sun get approval from the Paris accord to do this?
It seems to me the winters are getting colder already. This global warming is such a crock. It’s only now that we are getting true summer weather in the Northeast. But it was still 52 degrees at my CT home yesterday morning. A bit chilly for the end of June.
Get ready for a much cooler climate, As the Sun is the true rudder of our climate changes.
The only thing constant is Climate Change.
Uh oh!
Years ago I ran a “Rurudyne’s Daily Global Cooling Watch” thread here and elsewhere that posted, and charted, data from the solar weather sites. The data charts were hosted on image shack and no longer display.
I called it the Gore-Hansen Minimum.

To be frank, it wore me out.
My last update was on November 19, 2008 and therein I made this statement: “The bad news is that the “maximum” may end up being as strong as the fifth cup of hot tea made with the same tea bag.”
