The Grand Solar Minimum is now official:\u00a0 https:\/\/spaceweather.com\/archive.php?view=1&day=16&month=12&year=2019<\/a><\/p>\n The current record of 270 days of no sunspots exceed the previous record of 268 days of no sunspots.<\/p>\n We\u2019re doomed!\u00a0 Doomed, I tell you!\u00a0 Stock the pantry, buy extra stuff (especially ice cream), throw another log on the fire!<\/p>\n This is predicted go on with the Sun reaching its deepest solar minimum by April 2020 and then a new cycle will begin with a Solar Maximum in July 2025. The unanswered question is whether or not the Sun will wake up and starts its usual sneezing and burping solar flares, or just go on snoozing. We haven’t really had a Dalton or Maunder Minimum in a while.\u00a0 During the Little Ice Age, a lot of discoveries were made in all aspects of society, and eggs were nearly worth their weight in gold because the winters really were cold enough to freeze them solid.\u00a0 What came out of the Little Ice Age? Exploration and discovery, inventions, the Industrial Revolution…. there’s a long list.<\/p>\n If you think the weather is erratic now, well – just blame it on the Democrats, okay? They have a wealth of hot air with no substance to back it up, so it’s a perfect match. And those people who want to put us all on wind turbines and solar power want to take us off gas & oil products for cooking, heat and lelectricity…. because Gorebull Warming is going to burn up the planet!\u00a0 Sorry, but that won’t happen until the Sun becomes a red giant in 4.5 billion years. (It would be nice if they actually knew anything, wouldn’t it?)<\/p>\n Lake Michigan has an elevated surface level of 33 inches above previous levels. This is being watched closely in all the Great Lakes by the Army Corps of Engineers, because they will the people who move in to repair damaged shorelines. If it’s possible to repair damages, they’ll do it, but there is a vast erosion cycle of Lake Michigan shorelines going on now, threatening houses built on those ancient dunes (left over from the last glacial meltback) and unless someone has magical powers, Michi Gamu and Gichi Gamu (Superior) are not going to slow their attacks on those shores.<\/p>\n And while I”m at it, Al Gore (bull) is now supporting AOC’s GND, because it does not have to have any substance to it to get his support<\/em>. Not a joke:<\/p>\n From the article: Former Vice President Al Gore believes the Green New Deal (GND) could be a winning issue for Democrats in 2020.<\/p>\n The GND is a \u201cbroad brushstroke, bold proclamation, the details of which are designed to be filled in later,<\/strong>\u201d Gore\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0Politico Friday. He believes Democratic candidates should use the legislation to help generate enthusiasm before next year\u2019s election, Politico reported.<\/p>\n Gore also suggested that Republicans are flipping on climate change. \u201cWe\u2019re not that far away from a restoration of bipartisan support, particularly since Mother Nature is getting everybody\u2019s attention with these fires and floods and hurricanes,\u201d he told reporters. – article<\/p>\n
