Make the most of this summer because it could be your last decent one: winter is coming as the planet enters the most devastating cooling period since the 65-year Maunder Minimum of the 17th and early 18th centuries.
This is the dire forecast of Professor Valentina Zharkova, a solar physicist at Northumbria University, who has based her prediction on sun spot activity – known to be a significant driver of global climate – which is currently very low and likely to get even lower during the next three solar cycles.
She has spoken about her research and her battle to get it taken seriously by the climate establishment in an interview with the Global Warming Policy Forum. You can see it in this short film.
According to Professor Zharkova:
We will see it from 2020 to 2053, when the three next cycles will be very reduced magnetic field of the sun. Basically what happens is these two waves, they separate into the opposite hemispheres and they will not be interacting with each other, which means that resulting magnetic field will drop dramatically nearly to zero. And this will be a similar conditions like in Maunder Minimum.
What will happen to the Earth remains to be seen and predicted because nobody has developed any program or any models of terrestrial response – they are based on this period when the sun has maximum activity — when the sun has these nice fluctuations, and its magnetic field [is] very strong. But we’re approaching to the stage when the magnetic field of the sun is going to be very, very small.

Should be OK ..even eaten raw...
the Native Indians ate raw Buffalo liver
I eat lightly sauteed goat liver and onions...as I recycle the spare goats to the freezer every year.
Not polar-bear liver; way the heck too much Vitamin A.
Where you at to get that kind of temperature range?
Excellent image.
DAMN; y’all are just kids.
That winter I was living up on Islip Saddle and working for JPL at Table Mountain.
Good snow; and because I did electrical and mechanical work on the side for the ski lifts in the area, I always got free season passes.
Met my beautiful wife of 40 years when she was up skiing for the weekend (you don’t need to know the particulars of that).
She had a crappy old Mustang that didn’t have a heater, used to worry like hell when she went down the mountain in a blizzard back to school in LA.
I’d have to sit by the phone for hours to hear she made it OK.
Still have all my old cold weather gear and have added to it over the years.
Really don’t like being to cold or to hot.
Can’t wait for it to start again, it’s been over 2 years since I had any cold dry snow over 3 feet high.
not so much lack of storms but decreased activity reflected in fewer sunspots.
Trinity Alps, Trinity County, Ca.
104 to 112 are normal afternoon temps this time of year, down to 38 to 42 are normal night time temps if it is a clear night.
Retired her for the seasonal change believe it or not.
First time I had a fire crew parked next to my workshop in 1996, I told them that those skinny little paper sleeping bags wouldn’t cut it, they said they would be OK.
Told them I had 2 spare bedrooms, with bunk beds, a hot shower and a real kitchen to cook in.
They said they would be fine, and besides they had to monitor their radio.
Laughed like hell when they came knocking on the door at 1 am (good thing I don’t need much sleep any more).
They set up shifts for the radio watch then sacked out.
I am used to it and it just seems normal to me.
The routine is, open all doors and windows at about 7 pm, close all doors and windows at about 6 am.
Keeps the house cool all day long and don’t have to buy an AC unit.
In the winter keep everything closed up with a small fire going, keeps the house toasty warm all night.
Every other day open everything up about noon and air it all out (except for northern storm days), rinse and repeat until spring.
Yeah , the scientists called that the "Maunder Minimum".
I have the impression that the lack of solar flares, and resulting lack of magnetism impacts on flowing air currents (which come from the West, and going easterly)
thus failing to oscillate between hemispheres to temper the weather / climate / rainfall, etc.).
That would also impact on the amount of snowfall (soil moisture), rainfall (soil moisture, underground groundwater reserves) as well as moderating ambient air temperatures.
Maybe Joe Bastardi (climatologist)at weatherbell.com will address some of these issue in his upcoming Saturday summary tomorrow
since this is recent news and supports his anti-global warming thesis.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
It was 97 today and my AC didn’t run more than 3 hours total, probably less. R-60 in the attic helps but this is in a relatively energy inefficient 60 year old house. The attic insulation is much more useful in the winter, of course.
Whe have volumes of papers by climate alchemists who have put their names out in public propping up a government-financed theory that these alchemists refuse to validate using the scientific method. Professor Zharkov may well be one of the few scientists still working once the charade of climate catastrophism is laid bare. Why now should she care about the opinions of government grant seekers?
Early Antarctic explorers got sick from eating polar bear liver. It contains toxic amounts of Vitamin A.
OK...hold the polar bear liver....double up on the steaks.
According to Hillary's buddy Bill Ayers about 23 million should be about right.
America has gotten fat, dumb, and happy and forgotten where its real bread of blessing has been buttered.
Bad policy like this would normally result in its own correction, but when embraced for the sake of a doctrine that comes, as it were, from Mt. Olympus — there isn’t any correction, only ever increasing efforts at fealty.
It takes a worse disaster to break such illusions, if the people will ever consent for them to be broken.
I thought on this and concluded the cooling will cause the northward migration to cease and the southern migration from Canada to begin
The nations depending on Canadian wheat will starve
Are we talking about winter of “75/76 or winter 76/77?
The winter 77/78 was also bad at least in upstate NY..(we got snow plastered in Binghamton,NY)!
Not to be an alarmist here, but will winter be followed by a spring warming period?
