I have put up countless articles in this blog exposing the absolute LIES perpetrated by the hucksters behind the "Global Warming" fraud…. I figure that now with everyone waking up to the reality that it is indeed a massive hoax and swindle, it is time to focus on the present situation, where we see a steep downfall in solar radiation generated from our Yellow Dwarf Star, Sol, or commonly called "The Sun", and the consequences of that decline…There have been some recent alarming reports about how our Sun has gone "quiet"…. That quietness is actually the amount of solar activity in terms of solar flares and sun spots… The last time such a period of "quietness" on our Sun occurred was a few centuries ago, when this planet experienced what has been known to be the "Little Ice Age"…..That period which lasted almost a century saw longer winters and shorter summers, and in today's world where normal summers are required for proper growing of food supplies, such short summers could see a reduction in these food supplies, and the result could be devastating for the planet's population!I want to turn to a new article that comes from the Huffington Post website, at www.huffingtonpost.com, where it appears that Scientists are now debating whether this Solar period of quietness, or "lull" could indeed trigger another "Little Ice Age"… It is a must read by everyone, and I do indeed have it right here for everyone to read for themselves… I do have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:Sun Scientists Debate Whether Solar Lull Could Trigger Another 'Little Ice Age'The Huffington Post | By Macrina Cooper-White Posted: 01/24/2014 1:48 pm EST | Updated: 01/25/2014 4:59 pm ESTIf you thought the polar vortex was bad, get a load of a new climate phenomenon that just might be coming our way.Some scientists say we could be headed for another "Little Ice Age," given how eerily calm the sun has been in recent years.First, a bit of background. The sun goes through cycles that last roughly 11 years, marked by the ebb and flow of sunspots on its surface. At peak sunspot activity, the so-called solar maximum, the sun sports lots of sunspots and is steadily unleashing solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Since our current solar cycle, Number 24, kicked off in 2008, the number of sunspots observed has been half of what heliophysicists expected.“I’ve never seen anything quite like this," Dr. Richard Harrison, head of space physics at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in England, told the BBC. "If you want to go back to see when the sun was this inactive in terms of the minimum we’ve just had and the peak that we have now, you’ve got to go back about 100 years.”Now, being in a "solar lull" does not mean the sun is completely dormant."The sun is most definitely not 'asleep,'" Dr. C. Alex Young, solar astrophysicist and associate science director in the Heliophysics Science Division of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told The Huffington Post in an email. In fact, on January 7th, 2014, NASA observed a massive solar flare burst from a sunspot group measured to be "some seven Earth's across."But a relatively quiet sun could cause problems. Some scientists say that this period of weak solar activity may mirror what happened before the so-called Maunder Minimum of 1645 to 1715 -- a period named after solar astronomers Annie and E. Walter Maunder, who studied sunspots and helped identify the sun's strange activity in the latter part of the 17th Century. That time period saw only 30 sunspots (one one-thousandth of what would be expected) and coincided with a "Little Ice Age" in Europe, during which the Thames River and the Baltic Sea froze over.Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading in the U.K., estimated that we have up to a one-in-five chance of being in Maunder Minimum conditions 40 years from now.Early records of sunspots indicate that the sun went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th Century. Very few sunspots were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715.While scientists have not proven that low sunspot activity directly caused the "Little Ice Age," and say other factors may have been involved in plunging Europe into the frigid period, they do believe that fewer sunspots may mean less solar energy reached Earth. And this in turn could have led to global cooling.So if the sun did enter another extended period of low activity, how likely is it we'd enter into our own "Little Ice Age?""A new Maunder Minimum will not necessarily affect the Earth in the same way it did during the 17th Century," Giuliana de Toma of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's High Altitude Observatory told HuffPost in an email. "Volcanic eruptions (that have a short-term cooling effect) also played a role in the cold weather observed during the 17th century. Plus we are starting from a warmer Earth."So maybe not something as dramatic as an Ice Age would happen. But wait a second. If we're trying to combat global warming, could a little cooling action from the sun actually help turn down the heat on Earth?Maybe, but it wouldn't do much, and not for very long. Researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research used a computer model to predict the effect of a future "grand solar minimum" on Earth's climate from 2020 to 2070. The model suggested the minimum might temporarily slow down the warming process by 20-30 percent. But within a few decades afterward, the temperatures would go right back to where they would have been anyway. Sigh.CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly phrased that another grand solar minimum would cause global cooling, as opposed to slowing down the warming process.NTS Notes: What to me is truly shocking is how many countries right now have been suckered in by the "Global Warming" fraudsters into imposing fraudulent "Carbon taxes" and "Carbon Credits" under the false assumption of needing to prepare for the "heating up" of the planet…. They should have instead been focusing their resources on preparing for longer periods of intense cold weather…. As a result they are indeed ill prepared for what truly is coming, and their populace will suffer the consequences…I have long said that these cycles are natural, and this period of cold weather that could continue for at least the next decade will not last forever….. Our star will indeed have an upswing in its solar radiation output and this planet will warm up as a result… But again that may not happen for at least another decade, and in the meantime everyone must do their best to properly prepare for a period of intense cold with longer winters…..It is again time to put the fraudsters behind the "Global Warming" fraud out of their misery… And the people of the United States must especially be ready for what could be coming soon… With the failure of the fraud "Obamacare", the criminal US President may try to bring in "Carbon Taxation" to fleece the American public instead… The citizens of the United States must be ready to again turn against this fraud if and when it does occur…More to comeNTS
