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.

So, the COMING ICE AGE hoax of the 1970s will be back in style.

Ham?
Yes.
Bump!
Either way, I have this "climate change" thingy licked. I'm not going to let all these changes get the better of me, that's for sure.
I’m stuck here in 9 land ... Hellinois to be specific. I’ve made hundreds if not thousands of contacts to your fine state over the years. Always happy to talk to a Texan Ham.
We contemplate having one of these types sometimes, so thanks for the reference.
Roger that. We’re on the same page. Half of my acreage is a mix of fir, tamarack and soft pine (which is garbage). I co-op with a neighbor on harvest and processing. Got through this last winter on just under 3 cords using a Woodpro 2000 stove. The cats basically camp out in front of it.
Wood stoves and a woodlot are great if you’re younger and strong, have all the gear and live in the country. Go for it!
In the suburbs, a bunch of wood piles and wood burners creosoting away don’t fly.
When the cold arrives, wood stoves and fire wood will be out of sight, too.
Green Land anyone?
I’d love to grow bananas in Colorado. Warming is not a bad thing.
Get your old timey woodstove in by June to go around EPA Rules
I’ve been pretty inactive for a while. Have held an Extra since 1985. Got first ticket in 1976, held Advanced license from 1976-1985. In 2000 got my GROL commercial license.
Ran a Navy/Marine Corp MARS station out of my home and car for 19 years.
Have know and worked on projects with some incredible Techs and Engineers during my years in NM. 1972-1986
I miss that Ham community.
Ping : solar Minimum
Thanks for the ping. We are as ready as we can be. Changed all our heirloom garden plants to as quick a maturity as possible.
Have a green house to help with early start and extended fall season. Building a root cellar, and several cold frames.
Installed a fireplace insert, which worked to heat the whole house this winter. Twenty trees were cut to make room for the shed/root cellar combo. So plenty of wood for a couple of years or so.
Got my extra in the early 80s. Had some fun. with it the. more and cell phones intervened...: probably could t pass a test today forgot all the morse code i ever knew.....
I’m pretty proficient yet.
Probably my accuracy is not what it was, but I’m 73 now.
good for you! I wish I had kept up
When I was a boy my mother was out cub scout den leader. She knew Morse Code and tried to teach us. She had gone to Railroad Telegraphy school after high school.
She was hired for a job in Washington DC and met my father on his way to Europe during WWII. They arrived the same day and met outside of Union Station. They saw each other daily for several weeks before his convoy was formed and wrote during the war. Just before he left for Europe, he told her he was coming back after the war and marrying her. She went back to where she lived in Suit Land and laughed and snickered to her girlfriends that night.
He wired her money for train ticket to Texas as he was being discharged and they married at 10:00PM the night she arrived in Texas, in my grandparents home. She had never met any of his family before. They were married for 66 years. She died in August of 2012. (He died at 95 early this March)
The job title she had for that job in DC was Crypto Admin Secretary. She never told me exactly what she did. But my niece’s husband found info on her pay records and that was what he found. And that she had a high security clearance.
One of those meetings in life that no human can explain and did not plan, that turned out to be wonderful. That was a gift from God. Both of them knew it from beginning.
There is a lot more to that story, which I hope to put in writing.
What a blessing to have parents like that. I would love to read your story
Several people I know who are familiar with them said the same thing. There are a stack of letters that my mother wrote my father during the war. Some how, he kept them in spite of living out of a duffle bag for 2 years during the war.
They are in good shape. Along with other interesting artifacts.
