  1. Strange I know. To hear them speak you'd think Grassley was the younger.
  2. Haha. Ol' whispering Joe? Shhh...
  3. I like Grassley. Speaks lucidly and well, despite also being falsely smeared by the Democrats. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/remarks/grassley-government-abuse-political-treachery-to-quash-congressional-investigation-is-scarier-than-fiction
  4. By this time next year, the majority will vote for anyone but Biden.
  5. I thought he found doing that easy enough before.
  6. Joe must be extra confident, especially when 70% of Americans don't want him back. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/04/25/biden-trump-old-news-president-2024/11727116002/
  7. Any rice, any time.....anywhere. Fancy a Martini with that mate?
  8. Happy New Year!
  9. So what is it 1610 or 1850? BS back.
  10. That link plus other previous ones report a lowering of temperatures in many regions on most continents, while these "many parts" of the globe described as "warmer" are nameless or are not identified - probably because they are not obvious - that is because, generally, the world cooled. An increase in temperature and precipitation variability does not necessarily mean an overall increase in temperature, itself.
  11. I read it. Your confuse the issue by introducing solar irradiance in place of sunspot activity, of which the latter was far lower around the MM than today. I have not said that the sun is causing global warming now.
  12. So that's why it was called the little Ice Age? Better read it again.
  13. Solar activity was low throughout the whole of the LIA period, with the lower lows at the Sporer and Maunder minimums. The effect of this has been shown to be more than just regional and the temperature drops were significant. Your narrative has now changed and will obviously not allow any other point of view...except yours...so I'll leave you to it.
  14. Already supplied but here's one just for you: https://www.britannica.com/science/Little-Ice-Age
  15. Sun effects? Says it all.
  16. The Little Ice Age wasn't global but periods of it affected large regions of all continents, with glacial expansion recorded in Europe, New Zealand, Alaska, and the Andes. The term Little Ice Age is well established and accepted. Sunspot activity during the Maunder minimum was much less than at any time in recent history (from 1850), since when there has been no comparison. When this minimum combined with the North Atlantic Oscillation the cooling effect in Europe was amplified. I have used this phenomenon to demonstrate that certain conditions or phenomena can prompt cooling at a similar, or even a higher rate, than today's warming. That is all.
  17. When the bow breaks and all that.
  18. You need to refer to the links I supplied.
  19. Yes. Milankovitch cycles are believed to be at least party affect climate w.r.t. long term (e.g. full blown ice age) fluctuations. However, more recently similar rates of change of the temperature from 1850-present sis occur during the The Little Ice Age, between about 1300 - 1850. In this case temperatures fell, but at a similar rate as they are rising today. Weak sunspot activity (Maunder Minimum) corresponded to the lowest temperatures about 1750. Coincident with the Maunder Minimum, it is likely that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), controlled by the Azores High and Iceland Low pressure systems had have a significant regional impact. As the name suggests, this anomaly features variations, with one of these variations occurring when both of the pressure systems weaken enough to allow cold air to reach Northern Europe more easily, coincident with this Negative NAO Index. This variation can reduce temperatures by an estimated 2 deg C. Now, the Little Ice Age temperatures dropped only slightly but the level and rate of change of these can be compared with those rising temperatures causing alarm today. Changes in climate also featured to a similar degree. I'd like to see the return of another Little Ice Age, just to see what would dictate climate and temperature. I think that the focus on GHG's, especially CO, as the cause of all our climate woes should be opened out. It would be really interesting to be able to compare the data if so much forest hadn't been trashed over the last 200 years. https://www.eh-resources.org/little-ice-age/ https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/nao/
