Great source! "The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, a network of over 60 Christian theologians, natural scientists, economists, and other scholars educating for Biblical earth stewardship, economic development for the poor, and the proclamation and defense of the good news of salvation by God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection." I'm sure there's a Biblical explanation for global warming, lol! The extract of the article (you didn't open the link, did you) says this: "Study of variations in solar activity parameters has its importance in understanding the underlying mechanisms of space weather phenomena and space climate variability. We have used the already observed data of solar parameters viz. sunspot numbers, F10.7 cm index and Lyman alpha index recorded for last seventy years (1947–2017). We have applied the Hodrick Prescott filtering method to bifurcate each time series into cyclic and trend parts. The cyclic part of each time series was used to analyse the persistence while the trend part was used to obtain the input data for the study of future predictions. Further, the cyclic component of each parameter was analysed by using the rescaled range analysis and the value of Hurst exponent was obtained for sunspot numbers, F10.7 cm index and Lyman alpha index as 0.90, 0.93 and 0.96 respectively. By using the simplex projection analysis on the values of amplitude and phase of the trend component of each time series, we have reconstructed the future time series representing solar cycles 25 and 26...In our analysis we have found that the solar cycle 25 will start in the year 2021 (January) and will last till 2031 (February) with its maxima in year 2024 (February) while the solar cycle 26 will start in the year 2031 (March) with its maxima in 2036 (June) and will last till the year 2041 (February). We have also compared the activities of solar cycles 5 and 6 (Dalton minima periods) to solar cycles 25 and 26 and have observed that the other solar minimum is underway." linkNo doubt the Cornwallians assume that this means global cooling. But that's just because they don't understand the science behind space weather as it relates to global warming: "The amount of energy entering the troposphere and stratosphere from s pace weather phenomena is trivial compared to the solar insolation in the visible and infra-red portions of the solar electromagnetic spectrum. Although some linkage between the 11-year sunspot cycle and the Earth's climate has been claimed, this has never been verified. For example, the Maunder minimum, a 70-year period almost devoid of sunspots, has often been suggested to be correlated to a cooler climate, but these correlations have disappeared after deeper studies. The suggested link from changes in cosmic ray flux cause changes in the amount of cloud formation did not survive scientific tests. Another suggestion, that variations in the EUV flux subtly influence existing drivers of the climate and tip the balance between El Niño/La Niña events collapsed when new research showed this was not possible. As such, a linkage between space weather and the climate has not been demonstrated." linkFor a guy with your obvious intelligence you seem incredibly susceptible to junk "science" claims that fit your ideological commitments. You should trust your intelligence more and crackpots less. Be best.

Duh! I actually linked to that, lol! I guess you not only don't read what you link in your posts, but you don't read my replies, either. Should I be hurt? Insulted? My comments on what that abstract ACTUALLY says and what the Corwallians CLAIM it says stand.

Bottom line is simple, BBC admits the CONSENSUS got it wrong and the worst case scenario, which IMO won’t happen, is 50% better than they said it was.
Poor little austitic Greta, who the Left wants to decide all of our and Europe’s children’s futures is currently outraged because the EU figured it out and is starting to change their tune and are not going to live up to the ridiculous standards of the PARIS accords that our great President brilliantly pulled out of, well knowing it was designed to hurt America, not help the planet.
The liars are running for cover and the consensus was a consensus of lies.

The liars are running for cover and the consensus was a consensus of lies. LL, I'm going to say this only once: make fun of any child's health condition again and you are getting an unpaid leave of absence. It's just plain wrong, and you're old enough to know better; so stop it already. The scientific community consistently has discussed the range of possible outcomes. The most damaging potential is referred to as "worst case". If you were unable to understand that "worst case" is not the equivalent of "most likely" that's on you. Worst case scenarios are, by definition, not "lies" but the far end of a spectrum; so are best case scenarios, but I don't see you calling them "lies" do I? If it turns out that the worst case doesn't come to pass, no one would be shocked because, by definition, a worst case is about as unlikely as a best case. The median forecasts--which are the most likely--are bad enough. For someone with such strong opinions on scientific matters you seem incredibly ignorant of actual science, if I may say so without sounding too unpleasant.

I can't wait for LL to come in and explain why this is all wrong because some daily fluctuation in ice cover shows the whole thing's a "hoax"! Meanwhile, I'll be avoiding any entreaties to buy waterfront property for the rest of my life.

I have never said the Ice Age isn’t over.

I have never said the Ice Age isn’t over. "The last cold episode of the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. Earth is currently in an interglacial period of the Quaternary, called the Holocene." Wiki So you're only 10,000 or so years out of date, then, huh?

It turns out that the response to COV-19 has had good effects on the environment:
Other US cities with big drops include Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Las Vegas, El Paso, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. The maps comparing January and March are spectacular. There's an interactive global map here. Worth checking out.

It turns out you can make money by investing in stuff that's not promoting climate change:
Amazingly. these guys made money over 5 years by getting out of fossil fuels and into climate-friendly industries. The ostensible trade-off--your planet or your money--that we were told was at the center of debate is just a bad argument, after all. Who woulda guessed Al Gore was right, all along.

This is a day to day deal, it has now cooled off and the sea ice is at the same levels as the 2010’s, day to day and if anything, the losses have slowed.

Russia thing failed. then they've kept trying to spur on the blacks. right now in open revolt with their communist backers
