Biden, Bloomberg, and Gates will only make it worse.
The climate is warming! No, the climate is cooling! We’re all gonna die! The answer is...all true. Folks just need to chill out and understand that climate’s gonna climate, and that’s all there is to it.
The sun is a very steady oscillator says Prof. Valentina Zharkova, of Northumbria University. I have followed her work with great interest since watching her presentation at the Global Warming Policy Forum in 2018. She confidently predicted a Modern Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) running from 2020 through 2053, about half as long as the previous Maunder Minimum but just as intense. Controversial at first, now even U.S. agencies have adopted the science and speak of the current modern GSM.
It’s complex science. Simply put, in 2003 the EU asked Dr. Zharkova and her team to produce a catalog of solar activity. Once the data was compiled, they investigated what they could learn from it. Building on previous research and incorporating contemporaneous works, they developed a formula that accurately identified past sunspot activity and could be used to predict future events.
We know about the 11-year solar cycles. They start at the minimum point of solar activity, build over five or six years to maximum activity, then decrease again to a minimum. Solar cycle 25 began in December 2019.
Grand solar minimums, where maximum solar activity is dramatically subdued over several cycles, occur every 350 to 400 years. Astrophysics wonks must be over the moon to be living through one.

Cooling will be the new warming and the solution, as always, is communism.
Great Reset = Great Tribulation
Ironic how the Global Warmers are as afraid of the heat the same way the dark spirits are afraid of the Light and hell during exorcisms.
Maybe this is Heaven coming to earth.
How often do or magnetic axis of earth align with our geographic axis the way it is now.
Why wouldn’t the increased alignment decrease the dynamo output of earth, thus decreasing our protective magnetosphere and thus make us vulnerable to increased energy hitting earth?
Warming is actually a very good thing. In the Alps, they’ve found evidence of human settlements in parts that are completely snowed over year round in recent history. They believe these passages were once temperate in warmer periods in the past, allowing for travel across the normally treacherous mountains.
There’s a multitude of evidence of very prosperous civilizations in very cold parts of the modern world. It’s believed that “global warming” in the past allowed for humans to migrate further north. Crops were more prosperous, growing seasons longer, and this contributed to a thriving civilization.
The fact that we’re going bonkers over 0.5C is interesting. So what if some coastal areas flood? Warmer temperatures mean longer growing seasons in the plains which equates to larger and longer availability of crops. This means fewer people go hungry.
By contrast, the coming minimums mean crop devastation, shorter growing periods, food shortages, and general misery for humanity. This has played out historically, but history is too inconvenient for most people to bear. We have no control over the sun, its cycles, or Earth’s transit around it. To think that lamebrained stunts like blocking the sun (WTF Bill Gates?) or moving to a solar-based energy scheme are gaining ground is terrifying. These things will backfire in a way that could lead to the extinction of humanity, but then part of me thinks that’s their ultimate goal.
A period of extremely low solar activity from approximately AD 1650 to 1715 (a grand solar minimum period), combined with cooling from volcanic aerosols, produced lower surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s often called “the little ice age.”
Millennials will be praying for global warming after heating costs and food prices go through the roof, summers and their fun times disappear, and life actually becomes hard.
I’m considering stripping the siding and putting 2” of foam board under it, making widow inserts to go into the added frame depth, and doubling attic insulation.
Well, putting the dogs out this morning I see why the leftists’ politburo decreed instructions to call it “climate change” instead of “global warming”. Alright, I’m going to go crawl back under the warm covers.
This is April, isn’t it?
Us Amateur Radio (Ham) types know all about the 11 year solar cycles and follow them closely. I don't think a single one of us is surprised that the sun affects the global climate. We know about the sun's effects on the different atmospheric levels of our planet and use that knowledge as part of our hobby.
It's about damn' time so-called "science" caught up to what we know to be true.
That insulation is good for the heat as well. I’ve got 6 inch exterior walls and I’m glad I payed extra during construction. I have a feeling that that volcano in the west Indies is going to affect the weather in the northern hemisphere for a couple of years. The commie climate crooks have the useless idiots convinced that we can alter the weather. Riiiight.
“Munsen, Get your toothbrush and whatever!”
“I’m considering stripping the siding and putting 2” of foam board under it, making widow inserts to go into the added frame depth, and doubling attic insulation.”
Dude modern wood stoves and wood furnace shacks are the best.
Just buy a wood stove. After this winter I have 10 years of heat if I can get out there pick it up before it rots on the ground.
Next year, I have another 10 years of heat and 9 years in a condition of mild rot out there to cut. I buy one chainsaw worth of parts a year and spend 4 days cutting and gathering and 3 days of light duty splitting with the neighbors. With a tractor, a real sized log spltter and a wagon everyone on a limited budget gets heat for 3 days of duty, I get my exercise and my lot clear of large logs. Yes it communism to save $3000-$2500 to the utility companies...we call that Free enterprise.
I am on 4 A. lightly wooded, talk to any property owner with wooded lot, most will let you go grab stuff on the ground for 1/4 to nothing of the product. Much easier than stripping your siding for limited benefit.
As you predict into the future the farther you go the more error is introduced.
Predicting Global Climate Change 50 years out has such a Large Error Cone that it completely obscures anything we do today to fix it.
Once again: ANY changes we make to reduce carbon today (even if we completely stopped driving and flying) would not have a big enough impact to note 50 years from now because of the error in the Models.
Do what you can while you can.
Building materials are only going up in price, and there are a few threads today about the coming hyperinflation prospects that will make our money useless.
We have the materials, the money, and it currently still has buying power.
You have quite a project on your hands though.
You could start with doubling the attic insulation now. And the stuff mr. mm and I found works the best is rock wool. It's more expensive than fiberglass, but much safer, much easier to handle, and much more effective.
When we remodeled the kitchen in our old house, we insulated the snot out of it with the rock wool and when I cooked or baked, the kitchen got quite toasty. It really made a huge difference.
This is the problem. CO2 is not a problem and to arguing the merits of reducing CO2 emissions is PLAYING THEIR GAME. Don’t legitimize their power grab. The game to play is to stop trying to reduce CO2 which is a nutrient not a pollutant. At 400ppm the current level of CO2 is ideal.
Mr mm has done HVAC for years and has investigated the outdoor wood furnaces.
He is advice is to avoid them at all costs. They are very inefficient and produce a ton of smoke.
For a wood stove, consider going with one with a catalyst.
A catalytic wood stove came with our new house and it is the most efficient wood burning stove out there. It’s soap stone and when the stove gets up to 500 F inside, you engage the catalyst and it burned the smoke and gases the wood puts out and leaves very little ash. We LOVE ours.
This company makes good ones. They are pricey, but IMO, well worth the investment, especially if you intend on depending on it fully for heat.

I had a woodstove in my mountain cabin. They really throw the heat.
“We know about the 11-year solar cycles”
STOP right there.
It is NOT an 11 years cycle (minimum to maximum), it may average about that, but varies a lot in length and intensity. And no, the sun is not an oscillator. But it does vary. It is believed to be powered by nuclear fusion.
It is more complex than “just” the sunspot cycle, but it is an indicator of the process.
