It’s what scientists have termed a ‘grand minimum’ — a particularly low point in what is otherwise a steady 11-year cycle. Over this cycle, the Sun’s tumultuous heart races and rests.
At its high point, the nuclear fusion at the Sun’s core forces more magnetic loops high into its boiling atmosphere — ejecting more ultraviolet radiation and generating sunspots and flares.
When it’s quiet, the Sun’s surface goes calm. It ejects less ultraviolet radiation.
Now scientists have scoured the skies and history for evidence of an even greater cycle amid these cycles.

My move from the UP to NC, just keeps paying off, Big Time!
Well we must keep in mind that .25 degrees C is almost half a degree F.
Aren’t you worried now?
I’ve learned this over the past 40 years:
If you want to know what the weather will be like tomorrow, wait until tomorrow and stick your head out of the window. If it’s raining, pull it back in.
Uhhh, yeah! This means the climate will change to colder.
Wasn’t it the Maunder Minimum where they were ice skating on the Thames river?
The $64 question...what influences the earth’s climate more ...huge variations of the sun’s output or molecular level changes in CO2 levels?
[ Photon entanglement...
That’s a very clever insight, Grace.
I had not realized that force carriers like photons were subject to entanglement.
Au Contraire!
I spent a few minutes at Wiki, and sure enough, photons have been experimentally entangled. ]
I can justify any junk science for the liberal agenda! I learned by watching actual liberal scientists mangle science for their own ends.
I wonder how the weather was at the equator with the recorded minimum. Valley Forge was not fun without shoes. I love the cold and snow because like the Norwegians say, “There’s no bad weather just bad clothes.”
Also, Math 24: “20 But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”
also in Mark 13
Providing that robbers, or even more likely, the government do not grab up your survival stock. It was said before Y2K that there are laws that you cannot have more than one month of stored food. It wouldn’t surprise me.
If one stocks up it would be a good idea to hide it somewhere where even the government couldn’t find it. Also, people might kill you for your food and firewood if their survival depended on it. It could get pretty ugly.
The two cardinal rules of prepping.
1. Have lots of guns and ammo. (ammo will be worth more than gold)
2. Don’t let anyone know you are prepping.
Ya missed a great opportunity there to promote the Gardening Thread!
The panels will work if they shine flashlights on them.
Ping.
But only until the batteries run out. What you need is to burn a nice coal fire in front of them.
I don’t like to self-promote. LOL
Our government used to have huge stockpiles of food/commodities, but not any more. Security, guns, ammo are needed no doubt. If someone still manages to take your food, just remember it could be worse they could have taken you life.
I read some diaries written during a famine. Cannibalism happened-sometimes within families. There were people who went crazy, because they couldn't live with what they had done. I just had to quit reading it.
During the civil war, the troops from the North and the South confiscated food to help supply their soldiers. So I think hiding stuff in various places is a good idea.
I bet you drive a SUV! It’s your fault. All of Texas just about, drives big trucks.
Get rechargeable batteries for the flashlight, and charge them from the solar panels.
That's brilliant. I'll get to work on the patent application.
I’ll relinquish my rights to the idea in exchange for a 1% royalty.
