Climate scientist Dr. Willie Soon has urged his fellow academics to pay closer attention to the sun’s activity, which suggests several decades of global cooling rather than warming.
Speaking this week with Alex Newman of the New American, Soon, a Malaysian astrophysicist and aerospace engineer, said that “what we predict is that the next 20-30 years will be cold. It will be cold, so it will be a very interesting thing for the IPCC to confront.”
The sun is in a “weakened state” and far less active than during the 1980s and 1990s, Soon noted, which should last until “around 2050.”
“The whole climate system is powered 99.1 percent by the sun’s energy,” he stated.
Soon, a researcher at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said that global cooling is a far greater source of concern than global warming.
“We will have a lot more problems were the planet to cool rather than warm,” Soon insisted.
Humanity can solve a lot of problems including overheating, but the problem of a “little ice age” like that of the 1700s, “those problems are much harder to solve,” he said.
“If you want to face a serious problem, worry about an ice age; never worry about global warming,” he declared.
Soon’s warnings dovetail with a report Wednesday of billions of dollars of Chinese investment into elite American universities to promote climate alarmism as “one of the Chinese Communist Party’s chief weapons against the United States of America.”

Soon, and all other Galileo types, have been and still are viciously attacked. By “science” dogma.
97 high in the mountains of southeast KY and high humidity. Quite miserable outside right now. Supposed to be another scorcher tomorrow and yet by August 1st record lows in the low 50’s and some upper 40’s in some parts of the state, very unusual.
Everything is about two weeks late this summer. The jar flies usually start their carrying on in early July and yet this year about ten days ago in our area. I always remember as a kid them starting the week of the 4th of July because I knew I had about a month left before schools started.
No wonder the Dims hate him. They thought he said to pay closer attention to the SON. LOL
If you still believe you were right in 2009 that the north pole will be ice free in 10 years ... you might be a Democrat. LOL
It’s mostly cold and wet on the east now
Freezin’s the reason.
1974-1975 just in time for the big blizzard.
I know Kentucky after spending some time at Fort Knox.
I can deal with some heat, just not humidity. That drains my battery very quickly.
Sun Tzu probably never imagined that he could get an enemy state’s elites — nearly as a class — to eagerly betray their own National interests.
All of those electric cars with dead batteries, but hey, they won’t be catching fire and exploding due to overheating!
At least Gaia will be saved. /s
Hope so.
I understand as well that climate global circulation models do not correct (adjust) for solar changes, nor for cloud changes.
Many years ago (25/30) when the global warming scare first came up I looked into it and discovered that they (climate "scientists") treated the Sun as a constant. I knew right then and there that the climate "scientists" were full of you know what.
I worked for almost 10-years, year-round, in the Andes of Chile, Peru, and Argentina on mining projects.
Believe me, these dummies have no idea what life is like in extreme cold environments. Try working at 4,000 meters elevation and -40 temps...C or F.
