The sun rules!
I saw that broadcast this morning.
This is like ‘Groundhog Day’. The enviroweenies did this circa 1970.
It all becomes clear when you realize that the left doesn’t care about the earth getting hot or cold. All the left cares about is getting energy under its control. That’s part of the larger goal - getting all forms of production under its control.
For further explanation, see the communist manifesto.
The earth is some 4 billion years old. The reason life has only started to flourish lately is it has been so freaking cold for much of that history. Ice ages are not the best thing for life forms on this planet.
That is because there is no way to control people's behavior and obtain power by sounding the alarm about an advancing ice age. We can't force the sun to produce more heat, but we sure as hell can force people not to drive their cars or turn on their air conditioners.
Had this guy as a professor circa 1980/81/82 ~ of course he’s right.
Eggsactally. If there were NO large global swings of temperature one way or another, the left would shout that we're destroying the planets ability to have extremes, and we must spend trillions to "fix" the "problem".
With the possibility of a new ice age it’s a pity the Neanderthals, who were especially adapted to life during the ice age of 20,000 years ago, aren’t around to take advantage.
Along with our quiet sun comes a very minor dip in visible light output, something like .02%.
Much more significant is a dip in far UV, about 6%.
We can see that our uppermost atmosphere has contracted a bit, since it is no longer being strongly ionized. Sat orbits are more stable, but tiny pieces of “space junk” stay aloft longer.
I’ve been looking for data on how that might effect more than hams and over-the-horizon radar propagation but I have not found much.
No question Earth is cooling, though, HADCRUT database clearly shows it and even Hansen can’t keep it out of the GISS data.
“The enviroweenies did this circa 1970.”
Yes - but, like most important news, the media is too late. They said it was “cooling” after seeing 20-30 years of cooling. Of course as soon as they noticed that trend, it began to warm up.
Same thing with them for the warming. It got some mention in the late 90’s, and became mainstream around 2001 with Al Gore IIRC. Of course it has been cooling since 1998 so....
Gamblers call this betting technique, doubling down.
In a minor Ice Age, the tropical will become temperate, the temperate will become arctic. The arctic will become frozen death. So as long as humanity moves towards the equator, everything should be fine. After the coming States revolution, I suggest we invade Mexico, Cuba and Central America. After all, who will stop a 100 million strong army.
Especially if we have nuke plants in the North, so our bases and supply depots will be hard to reach for those without lots of fuel.

Not so sure you are right have you seen some of the ACORN thugs? ;-)
So-called Planetary Climate Change is just the latest method for the control freaks to, well, control.
