I read some fascinating news at The Register :
Somehow I doubt that my ideas will be followed; increased taxation and a diminishing of personal freedom is more likely.
'What may be the science story of the century is breaking this evening, as heavyweight US solar physicists announce that the Sun appears to be headed into a lengthy spell of low activity, which could mean that the Earth – far from facing a global warming problem – is actually headed into a mini Ice Age.Do read the whole story because if this is true then the earth is facing a more serious problem than global warming. Global cooling could kill millions of people and food shortages could kill even more. Since warmists believe (sorry, know) that CO2 emissions 'definitely' cause warming, I presume that they will be calling for increases in CO2 emissions to counter this cooling effect. Should large CO2 emitting engines be encouraged? Maybe tax breaks for cars with engines larger than 3 litres capacity? How about banning all electric cars as they will help the earth to cool? Should 4x4 drivers be rewarded for their choice of car?

The announcement made on 14 June (18:00 UK time) comes from scientists at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory. Three different analyses of the Sun's recent behaviour all indicate that a period of unusually low solar activity may be about to begin.
The Sun normally follows an 11-year cycle of activity. The current cycle, Cycle 24, is now supposed to be ramping up towards maximum strength. Increased numbers of sunspots and other indications ought to be happening: but in fact results so far are most disappointing. Scientists at the NSO now suspect, based on data showing decades-long trends leading to this point, that Cycle 25 may not happen at all.'

I expect the problem will be worsened as a BBC and other key outlets in this coutry remain wedded to narrative will value their own reputation above the need for proper action. We will as with last years winter be caught out.
ReplyDeletePeople need to take practical action now especially as we won't be able to rely on local authorities who will in all likelihood seize the opportunity to take part in a crippling strike to coincide with this winter.
