Your future is bright, if a trifle chilly
WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT OUR OWN SELF-DOUBT DERIVED FROM YEARS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE AIMED AT CRUSHING OUR SPIRIT

The signs are that we may be entering a period of global cooling: a few years of cooler summers and somewhat more icy winters.
For sure, this summer was a cool one as far as the UK and many other countries were concerned, aside from a few hot days here and there that the Climates Scare brigade tried to hype up lest anyone noticed the overall cooling.
Quite possibly this winter is going to be a cold one relative to recent years and could be the first of several.
Why the cooling is happening and how long it may last is explained in the featured article below.
If it does happen, then the global warming bandwagon is going to find itself thoroughly derailed, which probably explains why the vested political and other interests behind the Global Boilng terror op have pulled out all the stops in their drive to thoroughly sell the populace the idea that “the climate is warming” and the touted political and economic “solutions” thereto before everyone finally realises that, no, it isn’t.
A cool period is natural and cannot be blamed on humans. It may be uncomfortable as we have grown used to a relatively benign climate but it is nothing to fear.
It is nothing to fear because we have the technology to keep the crops growing and everyone warm during the cold period.
By this I mean greenhouse technology, biodomes, polytunnels, warm shelter for livestock and so forth that will deal with longer and colder winters, a shortened growing season and the like.
And I mean, too, a reliable supply of abundant cheap energy such technologies will need and this is entirely within our capabilities provided we use an efficient and reliable energy source such as nuclear and not unreliable and unfit-for-the-purpose wind farms and solar panels.
We humans have come a long way. We have the technological know-how to deal with anything a fluctuating and often capricious climate can throw at us and all we need now is not to have our ingenuity inhibited, hindered or thwarted by governments with their heads up their you-know-whats.
We live on a tough planet but we are a tough species, given the chance to show our mettle and we have nothing to fear but our own self-doubt derived from years of psychological warfare aimed at crushing our spirit.
GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM: THE FUTURE LOOKS COLD
SOURCE: ELECTROVERSE
[THIS IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF AN ARTICLE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON ELECTROVERSE.NET. I’M CURRENTLY TRAVELLING FROM PORTUGAL TO THE UK, AND WILL BE BACK TO IT WITH NEW POSTS ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11]
In recent years, the Sun has been at its weakest state in more than a century, with the two most recent solar cycles (24 and 25) on course to be the weakest pair in more than 200 years, since the Dalton Minimum.
This is revealed by the sunspot count (shown below) — a great barometer for solar activity:
The Sun’s output ebbs and flows on a roughly 11-year cycle.
As visualized above, the most recently completed solar cycle (24) finished up closely matching those of ‘The Centennial Minimum’ (≈1880-1914) — the previous multi-cycle period of low output, aka a ‘Grand Solar Minimum’ (GSM).
Grand Solar Minimums themselves can also range in depth and length, and, crucially for all of inhabitants of Earth, these factors determine the severity of the accompanying ‘global cooling’.
The Centennial Minimum was a modest GSM.
Conversely, one of the strongest on record was the ‘Maunder Minimum’ (1645-1715) which, as documented by NASA, sent Europe and North America into a “deep freeze”:
“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”
The above facts are no longer permitted in mainstream scientific debates, and calling them out sees you instantly dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. History, however, will view this censorship very poorly, likely seeing it as an illustration of the dangers of propagandizing.
Discovery, it would appear, is no longer welcome in the field of climate science, we apparently know all that there is to know. But in reality, this suppression is a necessity if the AGW train is to keep on rolling. It stands that the return of a cyclically waning Sun would instantly flush alarmists’ claims of a never-ending temperature rise down the proverbial pan.
The climate system is immensely complex; to claim otherwise exposes a blinding ignorance.
Case in point: while Earth’s overall temperature trends colder during prolonged bouts of low solar activity, not all regions experience the chill. As visualized in NASA’s ‘Maunder Minimum Reconstruction Map’ (shown below), areas such as the Arctic, Alaska, and the North Atlantic actually warm during spells of otherwise ‘global’ cooling.
It could be argued that this chimes with what we’re seeing today, and, unlike the baseless ‘Polar Amplification Theory’, could explain why the Arctic is warming while the Antarctic is cooling.
