Get ready for the next big bombshell in the man-made warming debate. The worlds most sophisticated particle study laboratory - CERN in Geneva - will soon announce that more cosmic rays do, indeed, create more clouds in earths atmosphere. More cosmic rays mean a cooler planet. Thus, the solar source of the earths long, moderate 1,500-year climate cycle will finally be explained.
Cosmic rays and solar winds are interesting phenomena - but they are vastly more relevant when an undocumented theory is threatening to quadruple societys energy costs. The IPCC wants $10 gasoline, and soaring electric bills to reduce earths temperatures by an amount too tiny to measure with most thermometers.
In 2007, when Fred Singer and I published Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1,500 Years, we werent terribly concerned with cosmic rays. We knew the natural, moderate warming/cooling cycle was real, from the evidence in ice cores, seabed sediments, fossil pollen and cave stalagmites. The cycle was the big factor that belied the man-made warming hysteria of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
When Willi Dansgaard and Hans Oeschger discovered the 1,500 year cycle in the Greenland ice cores in 1984, they knew immediately that it was solar-powered. Theyd seen exactly the same cycle in the carbon 14 molecules in trees, and in the beryllium 10 molecules in ice cores. Both sets of molecules are formed when cosmic rays strike our atmosphere. The cycle had produced a whole series of dramatic, abrupt Medieval-Warming-to-Little-Ice-Age climate changes.

The IPCC, for its part, announced that the sun could not be the forcing factor in any major climate change because the solar irradiation was too small. IPCC did not, however, add up the other solar variations that could amplify the solar irradiation. Nor had the IPCC programmed its famed computer models with the knowledge of the Medieval Warming (950�1200 AD), the Roman Warming (200 BC�600 AD), or the big Holocene Warmings centered on 6,000 and 8,000 BC.The IPCC apparently wanted to dismiss the sun as a climate factor - to leave room for a CO2 factor that has only a 22 percent correlation with our past thermometer record. Correlation is not causation - but the lack of CO2 correlation is deadly to the IPCC theory.
This is the reason the Thames froze over during the last solar Grand Minimum, even though most scientists have said "the sun could not be the forcing factor in any major climate change because the [change in] solar irradiation was too small."
Prepare for cooler times ahead - and maybe food shortages!
BTW, the current Grand Minimum is forecast to last through at least 2040 or so. ;-)
not to worry, comrades,
it’s global “change”.
Your high tech sorcery is no match for the Goddess Global Warming....
Will we be trading Carbon Credits or Popsicles this time?
‘not to worry, comrades,
its global change.’
The ‘climate change’ monicker is simply a lame attempt to duck the fact that the planet hasn’t been warming.
If there’s no global warming, there’s no justification in the slightest for human CO2 being a problem, CO2 markets, or wealth redistribution. In fact, if the “change” is cooling, more CO2 would be beneficial if anything.
Things were already looking bad for the global warming alarmists, but if this is correct they’re toast. The bad news is, we may all be in for a tough few decades ahead.
Maybe Congress should tax the sun in hopes it puts out a little less every year, then subsidize it for the energy it saves. Hey, maybe that could increase the sun’s lifespan!
Is the Sunspot Cycle About to Stop?
Also, here's a site that tracks current solar activity in a way that can actually be compared to historical data (unlike NASA):
Consensus!
I think most of us can handle "tough" more or less with acceptance.
It's being SCREWED by the global warming scam that was, and is, totally unacceptable.
If this report is true... as someone stated.. quick, burn lots more coal.
Ok, any geniuses out there....what can humans do to stop GLOBAL COOLING? What's that you say?....do the OPPOSITE of each item on this list? Ok, sounds perfectly logical to me!
NOTE to warming idiots: If you can't suggest things to stop global cooling, then your tips to stop global warming are BOGUS!
With these scientific observations documented, how did they ever get on the 'Global Warming' kick? 'Global Warming' may be the best thing that ever happened to humans. It may save our a$$es from freezing.
Ever try to explain to a liberal why lowering taxes actually raises revenue? Facts mean absolutely nothing to these people, unless they make them up themselves, then they are gospel.
Stockpile blankets and learn to like turnips.
And when that little 13,000 year high temperature plateau runs out we will be in deep, deep trouble... And these dope “scientist” run around screaming global warming when the real thing to fear is global cooling and the loss of our food supply.
You got it! In the part of our Country that is the most productive (the corn belt), the soil is very rich. It's glacial till. It was created by glaciers, sometimes miles thick, grinding on rock. Our farmers will have a hard time plowing those fields with glaciers sitting on top of them.
If the climate did actually get warmer, then Greenland would become agriculturally productive again as it was during the time the Norsemen settled there. Warmer still and Antarctica may become habitable.
But if it gets colder, unless the deserts also receive more rainfall, lots of humans will starve.
They are now calling it Climate Disruption. The term Climate Change is so ‘00s.
