I’ll say one thing - last night was one of the coldest nights I think I’ve ever seen / felt. I’ll be glad when this global warming stops for awhile...
Don’t count on Scott Pelley showing any of this on the CBS Evening News.
the resulting decline in the Sun's magnetic field causes the Sun to produce less sunspots....
and thus a cooler Earth.

Walter Cronkite was a reliable left wing stooge.
I recall, as a child, reading the “Weekly Reader” and the predictions about a coming ice age.
For years, I’ve been looking for copies online.
One day...
Of course, all current weather events are anecdotal with respect to the very real climate change that occurs over eons of time, but people need to chill out about cold winters or super hot summers being indicators of anything.
I like to give the example of the weather here in Dallas in 1979-1980. In December of 1979, an incredibly cold mass of air invaded the southern US, resulting in the temps in Dallas staying continually below freezing for something like 10 days. It was so cold that White Rock Lake in Dallas froze completely over, and I have pictures of myself and family playing ice hockey on the lake with a block of 2x4 wood and some tree limbs for sticks. This is not a small lake; people even drove cars on it.
The interesting thing to me is that during the very next summer of 1980 Dallas saw record breaking heat, suffering a string of something like 30 days in a row over 100 degrees. Thus, within about six months, Dallas experienced both record breaking cold and heat.
Cronkite quickly changed his tune. Several years later in the mid 70’s Cronkite started talking about globull warming and rising sea levels.
It is all about the money.
When there is money to be made by both sides it is a done deal.
Gorebull warming, climate change, buy my carbon credits and Production Tax Credits all money to be made and Votes to be bought.
Walter Cronkite was a uber-liberal, anti-American Statist.
Sad that so many people thought so highly of the front he presented to the public, because they had no idea of what the real man was like.
“They have tried to erase the inconvenient history which ironically blamed extreme weather like tornadoes, droughts, record cold and blizzards on global cooling”
Not just ironic. It is true. Read the Little Ice Age by Fagan. It explains how mild and tranquil weather turned cold and stormy worldwide. Fagan is somewhat of a bedwetting global warming alarmist, but not as bad as some.
