Just Cogitating,
Why the mini ice age during the 50 years without sunspots?
From 1645 to 1705 sunspots were hardly observed. The resulting period, known as the Little Ice Age, left canals in the Netherlands frozen solid and forced people in Greenland to abandon their houses to glaciers.
There was still snow in July on the mountains of New York and New Hampshire.
There is some ‘splaining to do in a theory that says the sun’s output is constant.
Precisely!
And just to make sure it stayed dead, they killed off the entire Oldsmobile division...
Dude, 2012 is the Mayans’ Y2K. It’s simply the end of their calendar; it wasn’t made beyond that year. Although they had a highly accurate solar calendar they did not posess the knowledge to do further calculations so were stuck with an end date for their calendar. As fear would have it, the end of the calendar was interpreted by some as the ‘end of the world’. Unfortunately for the Mayans their world ended 500 years ago. Their calendar simply outlasted them.
So would that mean - although the calendar on my wall ends in two weeks the world won’t necessarily come to an end? What am I going to do with all food/fuel/ammo I have stored in the basement?
"Year"? Try "years."
Given that a solar cycle is about 11 years and the 23rd just ended, that means Solar Cycle 1 began 23*11 or 253 years ago. 2007-253 would make that ca 1754. Not unreasonable to think solar observations might have begun by then.
(Wikipedia notes the cycle was discovered mid-1800s, but extrapolated back to the mid-1700s using earlier observations.)
Even the white buffalo has been born...hmm.
Isn’t 2012 the year that some ancient calendar maker decided...
wooo... my chisel hand is really tired, that should be enough for now.
If you buy my book “The World Ends Next Month” there is an erasible date pad you can use to accurately set DOOM DAY. Your survival stocks will become fully appreciable for month-to-month peace of mind.
Place your bets for SC24: "A number of well regarded solar physicists are predicting the next solar cycle will be far weaker than the last one."
Most interesting: "The Russian Academy of Sciences announced a paper predicting a Dalton-minimum style cooling because of extreme weakness in the predicted strengths of Solar Cycles 24 and 25. It looks like Greenhouse Theory and the Solar Cycle Theory are about to get their sternest tests."
Hmmm, we might want to be pumping more, not less, CO2 out. (OTOH, we can point to the cold weather as having overshot the mark and blame the Greenies...)
[I don’t have time to read this now,just tell me........ are we going to burn to a crisp or freeze to death?]
Yes!
Do you feel this increase in magnetic activity will spur periods of volcanism/earthquakes here on earth?
“And it looks just like the shopping lists for Y2K”
Yea, except this one is pretty well documented by the Bible, Osaphe, Mayans, Sumerians and a whole bunch of other sources.....
If it warms us up a bit, the left will crow “global warming”, and totally hide the fact that it’s caused by the sun doing a dance.
