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.”

Climate science dujour....wait till tomorrow.....
I consulted my Eight Ball: “Will record low temps this Winter be unexpectedly low?” Answer: Most Certainly.
Using fossil fuels and not wind weakened the sun.

You forgot to use the /s tag, or did you think it wasn’t necessary?
... if not hot... or somewhere in between.
The problem is going to be world food supplies. Growing seasons are going to be shortened substantially. Many crops just will not have a season at all anymore.
Noooooo! It’s already too cold. Of course, that’s only because Mrs. Chandler keeps the thermostat so low.
For most of our civilization, humans had to pretty much live with the elements without benefit of air conditioning or heating systems (other than the fire pits).
We need to be prepared to warm up the sun if it kills us.
I think it was two or three years ago our winter here in W. Pa got brutal cold temps and early. The kind you don’t want to sniff when outdoors or your nose sticks! Ha! It hung around for quite along time. Lots of people were looking for additional heaters.
How does this jive with the previous 12 year prediction?
Covid variation du jour.............wait until this afternoon. I hear there’s a batch of tau lambda epsilon variant brewing.
Did not think it was needed ;)
Smacking your fingers with a wrench hurts like 8x as bad. I know. Done it.
NO!!!??? Are you saying the big fireball in the sky that swings the earth’s temperature by as much as 60 degrees in 24 hours may influence the temperature over the next several decades? I just don’t believe it... lol
If it gets to cold I will burn huge piles of rubber tires.
Global Cooling—Caused by Man and Racist Trump.
What will become of all those Californians who moved to Coeur D’Alene?
The earth is constantly cycling though periods of cold-wet, warm-wet, cold-dry, warm-dry, with cycles of 20,50,100,250,1000,5000...years. Human activity is the no-see-um bug in all of that.
With any luck they’ll freeze. At least the bad ones.
