Winter is coming.
Waiting for more explanation from those who know more about what this means.
None of the Climate Change referendums passed.
If the Earth is really entering a cooling phase, our best course of action is clear — deindustrialize, raise taxes, support Global Government. [/s]
This combined with milankovitch cycles and a few other variables are what give us Climate Change not the 0.04% CO2 in the atmosphere.
“...beginning 2020 and running for 350-400 years.”
Where’d I put those longjohns...
“Entering” it? We’ve been going into a solar minimum for about ten years, when I started writing about it. It’s causing cold fluctuations. I also wrote that the hysterical stories about an ice age and mile-thick ice were bunk.
There are also the effects of the deviating magnetic field caused by the periodical movement and increased activity of the outer core. We’re seeing warm fluctuations from that (increased methane leakage, less protection from the field, etc.).
Both are causing a bit of a mess, but it’s not the end of the world. Wear hats, get better coats, and don’t freak out.
The extended minimum might last 80 years or less. My American ancestors prospered as farmers during such a minimum. Don’t believe the hype from fake opinion pieces.
Life becomes cold, brutal and short
Bowhunting skills are premium
Expect a crash program to be initiated in Trump's second term to prepare for the coming cold.
Frozen carcasses of global warmists hanging from unlit lampposts..(where are the coal and nuclear plants?... shut down all of them...windmills frozen solid...solar cells iced over )
Wondering how to explain to my wife that moving to the GA mountains would be a much better place than NY/VT/NH for such reasons.
The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History, 1300-1850
Brian M. Fagan
Basic Books, 2000 - History - 246 pages
Only in the last decade have climatologists developed and accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion; that the world endured a 500-year cold snap ‘The Little Ice Age’ that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850. ‘The Little Age’ tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today's global warming. With its basis in cutting-edge science, ‘The Little Ice Age’ offers a new perspective on familiar events. Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration; how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World; how a generations-long subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution; and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming. This is a fascinating, original book for anyone interested in history, climate, or the new subject of how they interact.
Mankind is now much better equipped than the ancients to cope with this kind of extended cooling. If utterly necessary, thorium-fueled nuclear reactors can be built by the thousands in a crash program to provide the necessary energy for heating and powering gigantic vertical farms as well as homes and businesses. Industrialized countries will do what they must to survive. This planetwide effort will be expensive but not nearly as expensive as freezing in the dark. I’m not that worried about another Little Ice Age.
Admittedly, the poor in emerging economies will suffer, but then, they always suffer. -_-
