I have talked about the Maunder Minimum of the early 1600s in Europe. There was no history on this continent of course, but it is well known that Europe had about 70 years of very cold temperatures.
Well, the Gulf Stream is slowing, which happens before a Maunder Minimum.
But, sun spot activity, which is needed to keep earth temperatures up, are becoming scarce, or when there are solar spots, they are weak. This means we are entering the next Maunder Minimum which comes about every 400 years. The Russians have also predicted we are entering that era. They call for 200 years of very cold temperatures. That sounds like exaggeration to the people I follow on this subject.
HERE IS PROOF WE ARE ENTERING THE MAUNDER MINIMUM
HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA
The ice shelf on the west of Antarctica is close to calving. This has been blamed on Climate Change, but real science just learned there is volcanic activity on the ocean floor which is warming the shelf and thinning it.
TRUTH IS, ANTARCTICA ICE IN INCREASING
If you want to learn more about the Maunder Minimum, Google it. I have covered this on blog posts in the past and on my online journal. Frankly, I could use a cooler winter here in central Texas. We now have a hot spell during mid summer which almost kills any garden. Cooler summers would mean a very long growing season allowing two full crops.
One of the problems with the climate gurus is that they never see that the coming alleged crisis will be a blessing to someone else. Everything is about the White Race, including Europe and the USA. What if the Sahara Desert started getting rains? Would the forests that existed in ancient history come back and make life good for millions of Africans? What if the deserts of the Middle East became wheat country?
It is the height of Anglo Saxon arrogance to expect the Third World equatorial nations to panic on command when they will experience no change during a Maunder Minimum. We need to ship Al Gore to the Congo and let him eat monkey meat and grubs for a couple of years. Maybe just a tiny bit of humility would seep into his shriveled up soul.
