Pretty sure quite a few more than one are predicting a solar minimum.
A coming mini-ice age has been a topic on FR for a year or more. Last prediction by a Russian astrophysicist was a cooling period lasting up to 500 years.
What on earth could the sun have to do with weather? Al Gore didn’t say anything about it.
The sun?!?! HA! I drive an SUV - we have nothing to worry about.
Sounds like enough proof to me to put the entire cult of global warming in Prison and Asset Strip them to nothing.
We’ll be shivering and praying to the carbon dioxide gods to save us.
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe the climate carbon dioxide gods will be pleased if we make a combustion sacrifice of aged, refined fossil goo?
Trump’s fault; he has a chilling effect.
Last week, NASA released really cool, er, uh, hot new satellite video where you could watch plasma bubble up from the interior, cool along the edges and begin to fall back down. Not that I'd ever want to visit . . .
decisions, decisions...flip-flops or snowshoes...

We can build huge Mirrors orbiting the earth, and reflect sunlight to the earth. They will have the ability to be directional so we can just warm the US. At night we can warm allied nations - for a fee.

Damn...
ICE-AGE?!?? I just bought a beach-front lot on the Arctic Ocean!
The climate changers are jumping off cliffs.
Global warming is a lie propagated by globalist who seek to control all facets of life and commerce and the ignorant fools who parrot their lies with little to no understanding of science.
The sun is the primary driver of our climate as expressed by temperature. Period.
The sun has continual cycles in energy transmission to the surface of this ball we all live on. It always has and it always will. Ironically, this ball we live on responds to these cycles and life continues.
Ask yourself what would happen if the average temperatures where you live were 5 degrees warmer? Answer - not much and there would even be many benefits. They only project a 1-2 degree F rise in temps for the next 50-100 years!
The only thing we can be certain of is that the average temperature will continue to fluctuate up and down over the next century and millennia. Just as it has for the last century and millennia. The earth adapts. Humanity adapts. Life continues.
Hardly a reason to tax and control all of us!
This has been obvious for about 2 years. I bought a second home in a warmer area for winter quarters about a year and a half ago. I’m here and everyone is griping about how cold it is, heh.
Luckily I’m used to much colder weather.

Earlier this year, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey (BGS) were forced to update the World Magnetic Model a year ahead of schedule due to the speed with which the magnetic north pole is shifting out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Russia’s Siberia.
Deep solar minimum on the verge of an historic milestone

Solar minimum is a normal part of the 11-year sunspot cycle, but the last one and the current one have been far deeper than most. One of the consequences of a solar minimum is a reduction of solar storms and another is the intensification of cosmic rays. The just ended solar cycle 24 turned out to be one of the weakest in more than a century – continuing a weakening trend that began in the 1980’s – and, if the latest forecasts are correct, the next solar cycle will be the weakest in more than 200 years.
One of the natural impacts of decreasing solar activity is the weakening of the ambient solar wind and its magnetic field which, in turn, allows more and more cosmic rays to penetrate the solar system. Galactic cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outside the solar system that can impact the Earth’s atmosphere. Our first line of defense from cosmic rays comes from the sun as its magnetic field and the solar wind combine to create a ‘shield’ that fends off cosmic rays attempting to enter the solar system. The shielding action of the sun is strongest during solar maximum and weakest during solar minimum with the weakening magnetic field and solar wind. The intensity of cosmic rays varies globally by about 15% over a solar cycle because of changes in the strength of the solar wind, which carries a weak magnetic field into the heliosphere, partially shielding Earth from low-energy galactic charged particles.
NEWLY PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC PAPER TEARS GLOBAL WARMING AND THE IPCC TO SHREDS

A scientific paper entitled “An Overview of Scientific Debate of Global Warming and Climate Change” has recently come out of the University of Karachi, Pakistan. The paper’s author, Prof. Shamshad Akhtar delves into earth’s natural temperature variations of the past 1000 years, and concludes that any modern warming trend has been hijacked by political & environmental agendas, and that the science (tackled below) has been long-ignored and at times deliberately manipulated.
... Pro human induced global warming scientists exaggerate the contribution of carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas in absorbing long wave earth’s radiation. The fact is water vapor is the single largest atmospheric greenhouse gas (2% by volume), Carbon dioxide is second (0.0385% by volume).
Water vapor contributes 95% to the greenhouse effect, all other greenhouse gases combined contribute only 5%. Furthermore, the man-made portion of carbon dioxide contributes only 0.117% to the greenhouse effect.
The IPCC does not consider water vapor a greenhouse gas in its reports.
In addition, water vapor absorbs in a much wider band of long wave radiation (4-8 micrometer and 12-70 micrometer bands), whereas Carbon dioxide absorbs in narrow bands (13-16 micrometer) and ozone absorbs in a much smaller narrow band (9-10 micrometer). Thus, water vapor absorbs in a much wider wave length band, it has the single largest greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gases.
Already knew this. Sorry, Greta, humans are NOT in charge of the universe.
We shpuld be preparing for food shortages and storing.
