Sun Behaving Strangely

SEE HERE We really don't know all that much about the solar sunspot cycles. We have some idea of the periodicity, but it varies and we don't really know why it does what it does. There seems to be a correlation between low sunspot activity and colder than usual weather. During the Little Ice Age (google it) there was very little solar activity. Given that we've been experiencing a cooling trend since about 1998 maybe we're going to see more cooling. Then the global warming nutniks can switch field and like in the 1970s become global cooling nutniks and peddle the same mantra, that somehow we're all responsible for global -------fill in the blank ---- and people end up buying it because "there's a consensus of climate scientists" (ignore the man behind the curtain) what climate scientists and since when has consensus had anything to do with science.

  1. The Medieval Warming Period is even more damaging to the Global Warming Cultists than the Little Ice Age (damaging as it is itself). I don't think there were any cars on the road in the Middle Ages. LOL!
