quick hypothesis with regard to earth temps, please, if you’re into that ?
“quick hypothesis with regard to earth temps, please, if you’re into that?”
I think we’re already into a cooling trend, and from what I understand that should continue for at least a few more years. That’s based on the solar cycle picking up from here.
If we remain in a minimum longer, temps will fall further and lower. A spike of a few sunspot groups doesn’t really mean much. If you look at historical sunspot number plots, the sunspot numbers will head above 50 consistently pretty quickly once the new cycle starts. So, that’s what I’m watching for. The paper I linked from the NSO points to a possible mechanism for the “minimum” events like the Dalton and Maunder minimums, and if one of those is happening then temps will fall to a point where there’ll be a strong negative impact - and making the global warming crowd look pretty silly in the process.
Thank God.
We just about froze all summer.
