Cooling will be the new warming and the solution, as always, is communism.
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.
So, the COMING ICE AGE hoax of the 1970s will be back in style.
