“The sun undergoes cyclical changes that appear to correlate with temperatures. The current cycle 23 appears to be the longest in at least a century and may project to quieter subsequent cycles and cooling temperatures ahead.”
From http://www.warwickhughes.com/agri/Solar_Arch_NY_Mar2_08.pdf:
“The Holocene, the period we are in now, is tracking along with three of the four previous interglacials. Of those three, if the Holocene ends up being like the Eemian, then we may have up to 3,000 years of Little Ice Age-like conditions before we plunge into the next glacial period. If not, then the plunge could start any time now.”
If not, then the plunge could start any time now.
Thanks for posting that.
