And around 1900 they believed an Ice Age was imminent.
Our climate is controlled by sunspot activity. The sun has “seasons”. The cycle is 11 years. Sunspot activity increases for 11 years, then drops off. But not to where it was at the beginning of the cycle. It ratchets up again.
About every 30 years, it alternates between warming and cooling on Earth. The warmists knew it was going to warm up in the 90’s, so Mann, University of East Anglia, and NASA scientists knew it was a good time to “cook the books” using a few tree rings to develop the Hockey Stick. They pulled it off, but most of us didn’t fall for it and their emails were leaked, so they cpuldn’t claim they “solved” the problem.

The solar wind prevents or limits cosmic rays from hitting our atmosphere. Cosmic rays cause clouds to form at high altitudes, cooling the earth. When the sun is at solar minimum (fewer sunspots) the earth is cooler.
We are at a grand solar minimum. My farmer friends comment about it always being cloudy, and they have never seen it like this.
The Little Ice Age lasted from about 1300 to 1850. It was started by the sun going quiet.
