If this elliptical orbit were to change, where the earth's tilt is at maximum towards the sun at another part of the orbit, that would change the overall global temperatures.

Sunspot activity on the surface of the Sun follows a well-known but little understood 11 year cycle. Activity rises and falls creating the so-called solar maximum and then solar minimum. During a solar maximum, the Sun is more powerful and is littered with sunspots.
Conversely when the Sun enters a solar minimum – which it did about two years ago - energy from our host star begins to lessen.
However, one expert has warned that the Sun will enter a period of “hibernation” this year, in what as known as a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM).
**SNIP**
“The reduction in temperature will result in cold weathers on Earth, wet and cold summers, cold and wet winters.”
“We will possibly get big frosts as is happening now in Canada where they see [temperatures] of -50C.
NASA warns of ‘MONSTER’ solar flares which could hit in ‘FEW YEARS'
Space weather: NASA predicts next solar maximum will peak on THIS date “But this is only the start of GSM, there is more to come in the next 33 years.”
The last GSM, which comes around roughly every 400 years, came in the 17th century.
Research produced by NASA indicated during this last prolonged solar minimum the cooling temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were indeed exacerbated by that Maunder minimum.
In 2006, NASA said: “From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum.

gonna wish you had those nuclear power plants
Those of us who actually are aware of scientific journals have been reading about this for quite a while. It’s only a surprise to ill-educated pretenders such as journalists.
Global Warming
Climate Change
Solar Reduction.

I am in the northwest, only one county removed from the Canadian border, and we grow all kinds of stuff in our garden. There have been years where an early frost got my maters or another late producer and there are years where we have harvested them for a month. This has all happened over a 10 year period.
On the other hand, this area grows certain crops - apples, cherries, grapes, peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, sunflowers, rape seed, wheat, and other crops very well. Those are my observations as a hobbyist who was also familiar with gardening in the south.
With modern global commerce it is irrelevant. I can go to my grocery store right now, only a few minutes down the road, and purchase fresh food grown in Mexico, South America, Canada, or Asia. I can purchase meats and seafood harvested only days ago overseas.
The overall abundance of food options has never been greater at any point in human history! The availability of quality nutritious foods has never been greater in human history.
That will not change due to an increase or decrease in temperatures of a few degrees or even ten or twenty degrees as long as we enjoy peace, prosperity, and abundant energy.
In fact, I believe it will become even better as some of the new emerging agricultural methods and technology are simply amazing! I have friends here in a northern climate who grow fresh fruits and vegetables in greenhouses as a hobby.
With cheap and abundant energy (nuclear or whatever new tech comes up) there is very little that cannot be grown efficiently in a greenhouse or on the fruited plains.
“gonna wish you had those nuclear power plants”
They cannot create enough food. There is going to be a class division between those who think they deserve to live and those who will not.
“Those of us who actually are aware of scientific journals have been reading about this for quite a while. It’s only a surprise to ill-educated pretenders such as journalists.”
Yep, and activists.
But the northeast has been experiencing some +15 degrees global warming today with rising sea levels, how can an ice age be possible?
Growing season will be confined to very very limited regions and hot houses, if even possible at all.
If one of those huge mirrors breaks would that cause 7 years bad luck for our entire country?
So global warming has been canceled?
We will adapt and overcome (our grandchildren and great-grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren) to just about any change in the climate. Consider that the UN panel, a hysterical bunch if there ever was one, only project a 1-2 degree rise.
There is good scientific data on the sun that indicates a cooling of a few degrees over the next decade.
Either way, we will be fine!
If this elliptical orbit were to change, where the earth's tilt is at maximum towards the sun at another part of the orbit, that would change the overall global temperatures.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
::pantpantpant::OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Pathetic.
Oh no....I just gave most of my Cold weather clothes to Goodwill.
AAARRRGGGHHHHH! You discovered the one flaw in my otherwise brilliant plan! Better move to Texas.
“Well Known but little understood”
Sounds like global warming.
Next up on cnn: “we’re all gonna freeze to death! Tune in to Brian stetlers next show at 1 am! And eff Trump! He caused all of it!”
Asses
Yep, been preparing for the (anti) global warming for over 20 years now. Kids are ready to pass it down. :)
The species man has already been through around 33 or more iceages already and we are still here.
One minute it is global warming, the next minute we are headed for an ice age, then there will be massive flooding EVERYTHING will be under water!! OMG!!! When I was in school 50 years ago they all started this BS and GEEZE we are all still here!!! Problem is they are totally brainwashing the youngsters with their hysteria and propaganda the youngsters have no idea that WE have been listening to this same BS for 50+ years!!! I wish I had saved those magazines, with the dates on them from the 60’s!!!
So does this mean we should actually be increasing our carbon emissions?
