Sun Goes Into Cooling 'Lockdown' -- Greta Thunberg Hardest Hit

Ever recorded....gimme a break. When did we start counting these “spots”?
The earliest extant report of sunspots dates back to the Chinese Book of Changes, c. 800 BC. The first clear mention of a sunspot in Western literature, around 300 BC, was by the ancient Greek scholar Theophrastus, The first drawings of sunspots were made by an English monk named John of Worcester in December 1128.
Frederick William Herschel correlated the recorded number of sun spots with the price of wheat based on data compiled in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1801.

Lucky for her she’s moved on from the climate farce to become and X-spurt on the virology/pandemic farce.

There has been a continuous record of the daily sunspot count since the days of Galileo. While he didn’t discover sunspots with the advent of his telescope he could count them accurately.

There have been changes in the way sunspots were counted, today we count any mole that has a magnetic polarity as a sunspot. That means that we would call many spots as sunspots that Galileo would not count. Even this this enhanced counting we have a VERY low count. Likely this is the lowest sunspot activity in the last 400 years anyway, perhaps even lower than the Maunder.

The statement made above says lowest ever recorded. Well that is only hundreds of years to absolutely possible that we are in the lowest sunspot minimum ever RECORDED. Sunspots have been noticed in the past before Galileo but there has not been a daily count that we are aware of before then.

Two years in a row of record low sunspot counts is unusual and signals a very low minimum. Deep minimums are known to come often after a very high solar maximum as what we just came out of during the 90’s.

It is very, I repeat, very probable that we are headed into some very cold climate for at least 30 years more likely 50 years and possibly a hundred years if the solar weather follows what we have seen in the past. This is not a good thing.

When the climate cools the oceans cool, oceans cooling absorb Carbon Dioxide. Human life depends on plant life which depends on Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is a tiny percent of earths atmosphere, about four hundred parts per million, if it gets below about two hundred and eighty parts per million it could wipe us out by crop killing. Low Carbon Dioxide and cold temperatures, late and early frost could really do a number on earths population.

The global warming nonsense was just a scam to get more tax money, global cooling is a killer. Any scientist who knows anything about climate understands all of this and any person who is not a scientist can begin to understand with as little a few thousand pages of reading on the subject.

Time to dust off the impending ice age catastrophe.

Fine and dandy. Time to start driving my large SUV, more.

When I was a kid growing up in Ithaca, NY, we had a geology class in 7th or 8th grade. We took field trips to view the terminal moraine on Cayuga Lake and other locations where we could see glacial striations on rock outcrops. I remember marveling at the fact that right where we stood there used to be a MILE thick Laurentide ice sheet. At the time I didn't realize how recently that had happened, either. It happened only five times farther back than when Christ lived. 10,000 years is the blink of an eye in geological time.

We recently bought a house in North Idaho and the many lakes around us were also cut by mile-thick glaciers from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet.

The great ice sheets stopped not far into the current United States. Imagine how cold the rest of the country must have been if those great ice sheets could push so far south.

We have known about the up coming mini ice age for years, one of the main reasons nobody listens to the Religous Zealots in the Church of Global Warming.

[Sacajaweau]

The answer is....so what....

[Lurkinanloomin]

In the 1600’s
It’s a pretty extensive record, certainly more than climate hoaxers have.

[BereanBrain]

I have been talking about the solar minimum for years, because we have missed the last couple fo cycles - way down on sunspots. In fact, a couple years we had NONE.

This portends the advent of a a new ice age.

Yet, we are still on the “greenhouse” bandwagon.....what stupidity....Yet they say follow the science. Trouble is, their “science” is bought and paid for.

Is she still going to “make sure to put the world leaders against a wall”?

[Paleo Pete]

Me too. I found out and started digging into solar minimums about 6 or 8 years ago when I wondered why the narrative had morphed into “climate change”, and Obama was constantly screeching about it. Knowing he was a pathological liiar, I started digging...

Agree. And that is one of the factors why we relocated to and remained at a lower latitude, as opposed to moving to the northwest etc. I hate cold weather and long winters and we could very well be in for a lot of that.

[Hiddigeigei]

So what?
It give people a general idea what the weather is going to be. It would probably make you money if you invested in wheat future or any product the price of which fluctuated with general temperature. The Hagerstown Almanac has been using it for years to predict winter weather and has been fairly accurate.

The last little ice age lasted from around 1645 to 1850. It was in effect during the winter at Valley Forge. The thames river in Britain froze solid and they had ice fairs out on the river.

Thanks for the enlightening post

Canada, Europe and Russia are in trouble. Crop failure will induce famine
