Look at the graph below. All of recorded human civilization is contained in the warm interglacial period on the right. And we are overdue for the next drop into Ice Age conditions.

The arrival of intense cold similar to what some call the "Little Ice Age" of the late 17th century and early 18th century, is expected in the years 2030 to 2040, according to a presentation during the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales.

Several studies have shown that the Maunder Minimum coincided with the coldest phase of global cooling, which was called "the Little Ice Age". During this period there were very cold winters in Europe and North America. In the days of the Maunder minimum the water in the river Thames and the Danube River froze, the Moscow River was covered by ice every six months, snow lay on some plains year round and Greenland was covered by glaciers," says Dr Helen Popova, who developed a physical-mathematical model of the evolution of the magnetic activity of the sun and used it to gain the patterns of occurrence of global minima of solar activity and gave them a physical interpretation.

"There is no strong evidence that global warming is caused by human activity. The study of deuterium in the Antarctic showed that there were five global warmings and four Ice Ages for the past 400 thousand years. People first appeared on the Earth about 60,000 years ago. However, even if human activities influence the climate, we can say, that the Sun with the new minimum gives humanity more time or a second chance to reduce their industrial emissions and to prepare, when the Sun will return to normal activity."

Fortunately, my main massive carbon-producer already churns out healthy hefty amounts of *three* greenshouse gases: CO2 , methane, and water vapor. And what is this wonderful greenhouse-boosting device?
My compost pile!
Please join me in my Campaign for Carbon.
You may all exhale.
Thank you.
Anyway, my point holds.
This study is about non man-made cooling and warming. It contradicts Al Gore's AGW nonsense. It doesn't originate from Obama's federally funded research garbage. And it blames the Sun's cycles and not mankind for the natural fluctuations.
We’ve in the 100’s for FEELS LIKE temperature in Houston, but not the actual temperature.

July 28th, 2015 was the 1st 100F day since Sept. 3, 2013.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
“And it blames the Sun’s cycles and not mankind for the natural fluctuations. “
How did the truth slip out here ?
I’m glad she didn’t keep hermaiden name Poupon.
Yup. It’s the Sun cycles. Who would have thunk it.
