Every eleven yrs the sun goes through these solar minimums. I can't recall how long they usually last but the current is lasting longer then it ever has since the observation of sun spots began hundreds of years ago. Except once. And that was during the mini ice age. Russian climatologist are warning us this is what is occurring right now and will last at least a few decades. Some scientist are betting our that our 4% of co2 we contribute to the atmosphere may make it less severe. There's also growing support for this natural recurring change in the climate within the ranks of US climatologist but totally ignored by the IPCC and the MSM. No surprise there. If its true they'll all look like idiots.
I stumbled onto this real inconvenient truth when I dragged out my old telescope and found my notes on sun spots along with some sketches I drew up of sun spots. There were large islands of sunspots scattered all over the sun. Grabbing the sun filter and my grandson we went outside and pointed the filter at the sun and...WTF?
Where are all the sunspots? Not one. So I googled it and learned all about the solar minimum and the mini ice age right here on the Internet. And the evidence is right there up in the sky for everyone to see.
Oh. Almost forgot to mention what tree rings showed in Calf during the period of the MiniIce Age. A drought. A long dry drought. Good times!
And check out this 2006 Russian prediction if you have time.
Russian scientist issues global cooling warning | Russia | RIA Novosti. I should warn you if you're a devout Alarmist you may not want to venture any further. it may mess with your belief in the Almighty and Infallible IPCC.
Growing up in the central northern US you called something that affected the entire eastern seaboard in 2014 where you didn't live a cutsie local name?
Look... If you did the research you'd realize the problem is not only atmospheric, it also involves the ocean. As land ice melts into the ocean, the salinity level drops, and this affects the ability of the ocean to transport heat from the equatorial regions to the arctic regions, which stabilizes the global climate. The most prone part is the gulf stream, due to its proximity to the melt water from greenland, and its relatively long route. This is the source of warmth and percipitation for europe. If this mid-ocean thermal conveyor stalls, you leave most of europe with a few years to basically shut down and move elsewhere before the cold sets in. The solar cycle is one thing, but the long term climate change and global warming is being caused by humans. You can disagree all you want, but in 100 years we may be fighting for our very survival due to ocean level rise and other direct and indirect effects. I used to want to live to 100, but now i know if i do, i may face hardships i am not prepared to deal with. The monder minimum coincided with a large volcanic eruptions as well, which further induced cooling.
Science is not about picking only information that supports your view, but all information relevant to the topic. An intellectually mature person will follow the data vs follow personal ideology.
