Natural cooling of the Sun will not be enough to save Earth from global warming warn scientists - Science - News - The Independent

Over the past several decades, the Sun has been in a “grand solar maximum” but it is quickly becoming less and less active, with an increasing probability of it entering a grand solar minimum by the end of the century, according to calculations based on radioactive isotopes affected by solar radiation over the past 9,300 years.

“The trajectory at the moment is on a path towards a Maunder minimum in the next 50 years but with an overall probability of about 20 per cent. However, over the next 100 years the probability rises to about 50 per cent,” said Professor Mike Lockwood, a solar physicist at Reading University.

“There is a significant probability that within the next half century we’d be entering another grand solar minimum and although that doesn’t make much difference to global average temperatures it might cause us in Europe to suffer more extreme cold winters,” Professor Lockwood said.

The last grand solar minimum – known as the Maunder minimum after 19th Century solar astronomers Annie and Walter Maunder – occurred between about 1645 and 1715 and was marked by the virtual disappearance of the 11-year cycle of sunspots, accompanied by a small but significant decline in the total solar radiation reaching the Earth.

My only issue with this MET assessment versus the Ruskies and other Solar Labs around the world -- is their statement about how this Solar Min would not compete with their dearest GWarming campaign.. So they ran it thru the SAME models that repeatedly UNDERestimated natural variations to be able say that GW would indeed prevail... They are DieHard fanatics.

Ignore that part. But this makes all of these cooling warnings a little more interesting dont it?

Notice the admission in the top paragraph I pulled..

Oh Gee whiz.. The sun has been at a "grand solar maximum" for 30 years???? Howz cum we haven't heard much about that or how it got there?

Thought the IPCC said there was no solar forcing on the planet's climate since 1850..

THAT couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with 0.5degC change in your lifetime..

Every major UNALTERED data set shows the cooling that started in 1998. The only rise in temp has been in the back rooms and alleys where they have concocted ways to lie and deceive in an effort to keep the CAGW scam alive.

The Hubbard Glacier in Alaska has grown 70 kl in the last ten years. It was 70 meters from the land mass closing off the fiord and the bay from the oceans. Cruise ship companies no longer get near this area for fear of being icelocked and loosing their ship. (source)

The lie that things are warming is all but over... A La Nina is now forming in both oceans as the warm pools are depleted.. The next two years are going to be very interesting as temperatures plummet in the Northern Hemisphere.

I don't see the evidence for cooling on the GLOBAL scale. But then again -- it's pretty stupid to reduce all this climate science to a single number like "global anything" ---- isnt it?

Well, I don't know what 70 kl is, but the USGS states that it has grown an average of 80 ft per year since 1895. Of course, it retreated 38 miles from 1120 to 1895.

No, it is not. A beginning referance point is needed, and that serves as a good one. It does not tell you what the climate and temperature will be where you are, but it does indicate that it will be changing, and probably warmer.
 
This is gonna be great news for the glacier growers.. Last minimum hung in for 100 years..

I'm SO jazzed the glaciers will be growing. Not so jazzed that the Great Lakes could stay frozen over til May..

"No it is not." What? Which "it" are you referring to?

If you are referring to having a single worldwide temperature value -- it IS kinda stupid. The Earth is not one big unified climate zone. And you could EASILY miss important climatic triggers by dwelling ad nauseum on this simple ruse for public consumption.

Even MORE so (stupid) to have a single "climate sensitity" number represent ALL of the thermodynamics of the entire globe.
 
Really? So, we have been having the warmest years on record even as the TSI is declining. And you state it is the sun? Explain the logic of that.

Yesterday Dude --- you ask me what scientist was denying that that are long lags, and integrations of heat forcings. NOW -- you are doing just that.

Quite possible you take ANY forcing to the climate and let it plateau and the temperature COULD continue to climb for DECADES or a century afterwards.

Could you be more consistent day to day? would it hurt?

Well, we can argue the technicalities until the cows come home. Point is, even if the solar TSI goes down to the Maunder Minimum, we will still warm.

Mr. Facaltenn, play with words as you like. GHGs are increasing the heat in the atmosphere and oceans, and the citizens of this nation and the others in the world are beginning to realize what this means for the future, and are discussing now what steps to take to mitigate the effects. And those in denial will have little to do with the discussion.

That's what I'm skeptical about. (What else is new?) The only reason the MET made those comments about AGW winning out over a cool sun was that they are using the exact same models that UNDERrepresented natural effects such as the sun.
