Why Some Scientists Say Global Warming Is Out and Global Cooling Is In

In a world riddled with climate-change doomsday predictions, a small but growing number of scientists are saying the highly touted climate models predicting steadily increasing global temperature due to humans’ carbon-dioxide emissions are wrong and that Earth could soon face something even more dire: global cooling.

One such climate scientist is Valentina Zharkova, an astrophysicist at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom. Zharkova and her team of researchers say that based on mathematical models of the Sun’s magnetic activity, it’s likely Earth will experience decreasing magnetic waves over a 33-year period beginning in 2021.

Zharkova is not alone. In 2017, researchers at the Physical Meteorological Observatory Davos, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich, and the University of Bern published a model projecting a cooling period “in 50 to 100 years’ time.” Numerous other studies have made similar projections. Indeed, the website NoTricksZone lists hundreds of peer-reviewed papers that argue solar activity and solar cycles have a substantial influence on global climate change on decadal, century-long, and millennial time scales. Some of these papers even argue that solar activity is often the dominant factor driving climate change.

The researchers say reduced solar magnetic activity has previously been linked to historically cool periods in Earth’s history, such as the Maunder Minimum, a period of lower magnetic activity associated with a “mini ice age” that occurred from 1645 to 1715. During the Maunder Minimum, temperatures plummeted to such an extreme degree that Londoners held “frost fairs” on the frozen Thames River.

Writing for the New York Times, historian Geoffrey Parker notes, “The unusual cold that lasted from the 1620s until the 1690s included ice on both the Bosporus

A blonde woman walks into a store and is immediately curious about a shiny object on sale. She asks the shop assistant, ‘What is that?’ The assistant responds, ‘It’s a thermos.’ The blonde then asks, ‘What does it do?’ ‘It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.’ So the blonde buys one. The next day she brings the thermos to work with her. Her boss, also a blonde, asks, ‘What is the shiny object?’ ‘It’s a thermos.’ ‘What does it do?’ ‘It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.’ Her boss then asks, ‘What do you have in there?’ The blonde replies, ‘Two cups of coffee and a Popsicle.’

“it’s likely Earth will experience decreasing magnetic waves over a 33-year period beginning in 2021.”

I presented this at a conference in the early 1990’s and they laughed at me. I explained the correlation between the magnetosphere of the earth, solar radiation and the earth’s temperature.

This is exactly what some of us here have been saying since the git-go.

We are at the beginning of heading into a Maunder-minimum or Dalton-minimum period of perhaps 75-150 years of global cooling. Call it the ManBearPig Minimum - scientists refer to it as the Modern Minimum. Cycle 25 was a pipsqueak compared to 24; 26 will be even less than 25, and perhaps there will be a few cycles after that with few if any sunspots.

Then there are the Milankovitch cycles. Three of them. One having to do with the eccentricity of earth’s orbit. Over the course of 100,000 years (Can you say “ice age”?) the earth carves out a mostly circular orbit to one that is highly elliptical. The other two cycles are 41,000 and about 22,000 years, further impacting us earthlings, as they align and unalign with the first cycle.
