lol, some people have no sense of humor. I’m no idea of how deep or how long this cooling period is going to be and neither do you. Certainly things could get colder then the last Little Ice Age, absolutely no reason to think that is the coldest things can get.

You said — “lol, some people have no sense of humor. I’m no idea of how deep or how long this cooling period is going to be and neither do you. Certainly things could get colder then the last Little Ice Age, absolutely no reason to think that is the coldest things can get.”

Well, I remember it being a lot colder, overall, in the late 60s and 70s. Where I worked for a while, the manager of the place told me that he remembered it even being colder, generally, when he was a kid, when the Willamette River (in Portland, OR) froze over hard enough for cars to drive across it. That never happens now or in the last 50 years...

So, it could get a lot colder — but even if it does, it still has a long ways to go before it’s as cold as it was, at times, a hundred years ago...

However, it does appear that the sunspots do have something to do with it. So, watch the sunspots for a prediction of what’s going to happen with the weather over the long term...

If this Ice Age lasts more than a couple of centuries, I’m
going to invest in a better set of tire chains!
