Earth may be headed into a mini Ice Age within a decade

How about this graphical representation of sun activity? Even with the use of sun-block preparations, the incidence of skin cancers have been climbing. You look at these graphs from all over the world, and they all go up. The sun, of course, is causing more than global warming:

Isn't this where we came in?

Wouldn't it be ironic if all the efforts and endeavors of the Enviro-Nazis in The Seventies to prevent or forestall the coming new Ice Age brought about a Global Warming trend which is now oscillating into a new Mini Ice Age?! /s

Hint: If there ever was a negative impact from a Mini Ice Age we could bring back the Saturn V Moon Rocket. A launch every month from a couple of sites would increase the Greenhouse Effect and heat everything back up.

I would rather Terraform Mars .

The lefties will come up with a way to show that the CO2 on earth is causing a decrease in sunspots.

Global Warmi....er.. cooling...eh.. hope and climate change...?

“Earth may be headed into another mini ice age”

...and now I’m back in 1975.

Idiot scientists. Although there’s more evidence we’re getting cooler than warmer, thanks to Mr. Sun - waaaaaay more than anything else. The Sun drives ocean temps which drives the rest of our weather.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Yes, but it’s not the blast, heat, or radiation that would have any effect.

Have you ever heard the electromagnetic pulse model, that if a nuke was set off high over Kansas, it would knock out most electronics in the entire US? Any wire would act like an antenna, getting a massive overcharge in it.

The magnetic field of the Sun’s corona is only 13-50 Gauss. 50G is about the same strength as a refrigerator magnet.

But the intent here is a ripple in a pond effect

Allow me to refine my question.

Can you tell us all exactly how accurate the top solar experts are with their predictions about solar activity.

[Interesting Times]

If you read the article I linked, you will discover that one technique cited, measuring the solar “jet stream,” led to an accurate forecast of Solar Cycle 24 as much later and weaker than other projections, including those made by NASA.

[DTogo]

Your conclusion is... logical.

I am skeptical of any predictions from experts who make their living on the taxpayers dime due to the international push for global government. This New World Order has an Odor to it that annoys me and I am not the slightest bit interested in a One World Government.

These scientists are reporting findings that undermine the "global warming" rationale for global government.

[Personal Responsibility]

Things that will change with this new news:

Global warming will be replaced by global cooling.
Polar bears on ice floes will be replaced by freezing gorillas in frost covered jungles

Things that will not change with this new news:
The Left will say the only way to fight the coming ice age is to increase the size of government and give more bueraucrats more money
The left will blame conservatism for the it

There’s nothing new under the sun folks. It’s like watching a Rocky sequel. You know how it will end and even what moves they’ll make to get there.

"I confess my thoughts were heading along these lines, though I am partial to the dyevoshki . . ."

Interesting! All Google Images results for for "dyevoshki" lead right back here to this FR thread... '-}

Like Obama’s economy, the sunspot cycle is imploding; no stimulus package being planned as yet.

(Tip: Buy coal long term futures!)

Oh please... I've been hoping the "global warming" scam would accidently turn out to be true.
Give me heat!

[Psalm 144]

My bad, for an idiosyncratic spelling of девочка, anglicised to devochka/devotchka - Russki for "young woman" (usually young/nubile/fresh) "young lady" or "girl". I was trying to spell the plural phonetically.

[Psalm 144]

Mmmm. Maybe a collateral descendant!

[EternalVigilance]

Have all the cows fart in unison. That’ll fix it.

Do I get a multi-gazillion dollar government grant now?
