The minimum of sunspots presages a cooling trend, perhaps another Little Ice Age such as the Maunder, Sporer and Dalton Minima of past centuries. Isn’t it wonderful that American Ingenuity and Government Pressure are bringing on line practical and near cost effective machinery to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere just as the world is entering a phase in which more CO2 would mitigate somewhat the effects of declining temperatures and shorter growing seasons. The Spreading of reflective aerosols in the upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight as EPA has said in papers that it is doing and accelerating and promote cooling is also nice. Perhaps a North American famine will spark a neo French Revolution as the Dalton Mimimum caused famine across Europe and triggered the French Revolution
Guess humans are an arrogant bunch huh? :-)
“Dalton Mimimum caused famine across Europe and triggered the French Revolution”
It will spark WW3.
The next war will not be fought over oil, etc. It will be fought over food.
Not close. But in a couple decades there will be cost-effective panels removing ambient CO2 using sun and water. However the fuel produced will all be burned as stored energy on cloudy days and in vehicles.
Another decade or two after that, there will be cost-effective machinary to sequester carbon by making artifacts out of it. But that is quite a few decades away.
