The solar activity is key. The last sunspot peak was still well above "normal':

The current trend is not good and suggests some cooling is on the way.

“A cold windy 50 here this morning”

Exactly where, is “HERE”?

The sun has NOTHING to do with our hot and cold cycles.

The "Climate Experts" have never included it in its analysis.

Weather is a finicky thing

36 here in Pittsburgh. It’s the most miserable Feb, Mar and April I remember.

I live in a suburb near Rochester. Yes, there was snow on my car this morning.

there aren’t any ... solar minimum has begun ... duration unknown

In short, people may have to end up eating a lot more wheat because colder temperatures from the next long-term sunspot minimum will mean drastically reduced rice production. Hope you enjoy eating a lot more bread and pasta!

Buffalo, snow here as well. (I know, break out you favorite Buffalo weather snark).

We are about 1,00 years past the average warming period. The average ice age lasts about 5 - 9 times longer than the warming period. These cycles are caused by
1. Orbital Mechanics - earth orbit changing due to planet line ups etc. or a meter hitting like 65 million years ago
2. Heating cool cycles of the sun
3. Plate techtonics - you know the ring of fire.

the next ice age could be reduced by putting large vinyl reflectors around the earth - But will still wipe out half of the people, and most of the animal life.

I have spoken!

Record low 30 degrees in Indianapolis this morning. Our average last freeze is April 1-8.

Must be all of that globe warmin’, right??

I hate that drive.
Polluter! :)

[Dutch Boy]

Every mile driven in my SUV!

I live in a suburb near Rochester.
I'm in Greece, not far from the lake.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m a couple miles from the Lake.

It’s been a very cool spring here in Atlanta. I’m hoping for a cool summer. That just means 90 degrees or less. LOL!

“Hope you enjoy eating a lot more bread and pasta!”

Fortunately I love paste. But what of the tomatoes? I need that sauce on my pasta.

The Maunder Minimum

Globull Warming is having trouble getting started this Spring. Must be all the ethanol in GW’s two cycle engine.
