The Sun is Cooling Faster than Anyone Suspected

The danger from the Global Warming crowd is that they are misleading the entire world and preventing us from seeing what is dangerously unfolding that sparks the rapid decline in civilization – GLOBAL COOLING. I previously warned that this is not my opinion, but simply our computer. If it were really conscious it would be running to store to buy heating pads. This year will be much colder for Europe than the last three. It will also be cold in the USA. We are in a global cooling period and all the data we have in our computer system warns that the earth is turning cold not warm.

This cooling is very serious. This decline in the energy output of the sun will manifest in a commodity boom in agriculture as shortages send food prices higher. We will see famine begin to rise as crops fail and that will inspire disease and plagues. We will see the first peak in agricultural prices come probably around 2024 after the lows are established on this cycle. We have been warning that this rise would begin AFTER 2017.

Across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the sun’s output is declining. I personally hate cold. So this is not a forecast I want to see happen. Nevertheless, our computer has correlated this cooling trend with disease and it appears that famine also plays a role in this entire event. Additionally, a simple correlation with the energy output of the sun reveals that all major earthquakes occurred during strong solar minimums, which we are heading smack into.

OMG The Sun It Is GOOOONE!!!!

During the 1600s it was known to freeze frequently, it’s one of the effects we hear about from the mini ice age around that time. They would have festivals and carnivals on the ice. Doubt the ice is any thicker than any other place people hang out on the ice, it’s still London, but it doesn’t happen today.

Sulphur content of fuels was reduced, and exhaust scrubbing implemented for sulphates and nitrates (1970’s) in an effort to reduce acid content in rainfall. As is now more widely recognized, sulphur aerosols reflect sunlight sufficiently to provide a cooling effect—and is now proposed as a way to Geo-engineer global cooling. Reducing sulfates in the air four decades ago, correlates to the rise of air temperatures for the 80’s and 90’s.

"...We will see famine begin to rise as crops fail..."

Maybe, but it sure hasn't started yet.

I just talked to my neighbor this week and he finished his harvest a couple of weeks ago. He averaged 312 bu. of corn p/a.

Beans were good but nothing like the corn this year.

All the elevators are full, ethanol plants don't need anymore corn and some farmers are storing corn in trailers.

Understandably, prices are down. He says he's going to plant different next year.

LOL!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

India and Bangladesh hardest hit

We can just take an idea from the 1970’s Global Cooling alarmists — dust the poles with carbon black (soot) to increase solar energy absorption.

Hey, it's the season for it:

Dust the poles with carbon, Poly
Tra la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly.

Anyway, my suggestion makes more sense than man-made global warming.

There is a tripping point in temperature in each climate zone where seeds will no longer germinate. Then it’s over for all animal life as there is no food for the animals we eat.

If the scientists would stop extrapolating from normal variations (and possible measurement error), there would be a lot less sensationalism.

Serious question to anyone: which would be worse for the inhabitants of the planet, 50 years from now being on average 5 degrees warmer, or 5 degrees colder?

Colder is worse by far. When half of North America was under a mile or so of ice, it was probably pretty difficult to grow much of anything on it.

Im seeing thin ice. The blocks in front have icicle curtains and hollows suggesting that is an area of boulders or more likely wooden piers that have become encrusted. Theres indication of open areas and current.

Similar paintings in museums in Amsterdam during the same time frame ...cannals frozen over and fairs taking place.

[dontreadthis]

sad to hear that about John Casey. I met him in 2010 and I kind of had a premonition that he was headed for a giant backlash. He was standing up, totally on his own, with his very substantial research that was bound to be attacked viciously.

[gnarledmaw]

Im aware of those things. My point was merely that there is nothing indicative of thick ice. The "thick" area across the middle there is ice and snow on something. Thats not where the lower rivers ice fell creating a thick ledge, its not a thick flow from upriver stacking over the lower. The people in the background may supposed to be directly on ice, the people in the foreground are almost certainly directly on the ice, the people through the middle on the raised area are not on thick ice. Thick, stacked, or flow ice look nothing like that.

Any ice across is probably considered significant to them and a couple of inches is "thick". Here where 2+ feet regularly forms, a couple of inches is thin and just the start. I regularly see reports of guys going through the ice on their snowmobiles on rivers that look just like that painting. Its doesnt take much ice to support a huge amount of weight where there is no real current so ponds and non-spring fed lakes can be colonized early. Going out on ice that shows any strip of water like on the lower left is just daring your family to find your body come spring.

not this stuff again guy needed

Why?

[PA Engineer]

I have read John Casey's works and watched his lectures. He is a very brilliant man. Sadly, he recently had a bad stroke. I have no other details.

It is ironic that Svensmark has been proven right again.

Increased ionization supports growth of aerosols into cloud condensation nuclei

[ConservaTeen]

The sun is cooling faster now....oh no, the Dems will blame the tax cuts, because they won’t get money to study what they can do to warm up the sun...

>>When half of North America was under a mile or so of ice, it was probably pretty difficult to grow much of anything on it.

Yes, but would a 5 degree drop in average temperatures really cause a mile of ice to be on North America?

My own personal feelings is that earth and humans could adapt to a 5 degree swing in either direction - lots of people might be displaced, but humans and earth would survice.

[zeugma]

While 5 degrees may not sound like much, it really could have bigger effects from a climate perspective in either direction than you might think. 5° colder may not be enough to generate a mile of ice, but if I recall correctly, that's about all the difference that occurred in what is known as the "little ice age" during the Maunder Minimum. The Thames froze over. Snowpacks in North America lasted longer as well. If that kind of thing lasts long enough, and the snow/ice doesn't melt back during spring/summer, you would see advances in glaciers. I suspect it would happen slowly enough that we could deal with it, but much more than a few degrees could cause them to spread fast enough that we couldn't.

Changing the term to 'climate change' from 'global warming' was a brilliant bit of propaganda, because only a fool will say the climate is fixed, and doesn't change. The real issue behind the entire concept is that we have little, if anything at all to do with any of it. The sun is the prime mover in this system.
