What round for woolly mammoth, lads?

Professor Valentina Zharkova explains and confirms why a “Super” Grand Solar Minimum is upon us

Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October, 2018.

The last time we had a little ice age only two magnetic fields of the sun went out of phase. This time, all four magnetic fields are going out of phase.

Full presentation by Zharkova, 93 minutes

20 minute summary video by Lee Wheelbarger

Wheelbarger sums it up: even if the IPCC’s worst case scenarios are seen, that’s only a 1.5 watts per square meter increase. Zharkova’s analysis shows a 8 watts per square meter decrease in TSI to the planet.

tl;dr: ice age, crop failures, starvation, time to invade Mexico and pay them back for all that illegal immigration.

UPDATE 12/22: here and page 8

So, the Climate Change crowd has a new narrative: the coming ice age is not because of the sun's output declining (as has been predicted by Professor Zharkova) but rather is because "global warming" is "weakening" ocean circulation.

Just for starters, I can find no other reference that even suggests the sun has four magnetic fields. Ocean circulation is being affected by warming - by fresh water input from melting ice to be more specific. It is not being suggested in response to the eminent Dr Zharkova.

There are four..... That we know of...

Both the sun and the earths magnetic fields are declining in strength. Both are needed to regulate flows on earth. When they weaken so do the flows on earth. Between the shift in output of our sun, to bands that have significantly less impact on earths oceans and the slowing of the flows, glaciation is a very real threat. Right now the solar output shift from 0.2-1.2um to1.2 to 3.6um in output is resulting in the input thermal loss, in our oceans, equivalent to 2.2w/m^2 and this shift is growing according to SOHO. Zharkova is right and both of these events are coupled together...

I'll be happy to, right after I study your "magnetic photons" sources.

The onerous is on you

onerous: involving an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

onus: used to refer to something that is one's duty or responsibility.
 
Speaking of black holes and magic photons, what happens if a photon comes out of a cold dead rock headed for an even colder, deader rock but a black hole's gravity field bends its path and sends it hurtling towards a screaming hot star? I bet the universe will come to an end. Colliding laws of physics.

So then why has the Arctic ice melted and allowed the Northwest Passage in 2009, for the first time in thousands of years?
And since there is no increase of heat from the sun, the only other possible source of heat has to be from the release of hundreds of millions of years of sequestered, fossil fuel, stored sunlight energy.

Burning fossil fuels could prevent the next Ice Age? Fucking awesome!


No, ice ages are good things, that replenish ground water, level mountains, etc.
Since they are 120,000 years long, they do not cause a negative impact, because there is more than enough time to adapt to them with very slow migration.
The amount of viable agricultural land does not diminish during an ice age.
It just moves further south.
Deserts bloom, as more northern areas have to be abandoned to ice.
For example, the Sahara and the Mideast likely would go back to being a swamp, that would again produce more future oil.

And preventing an ice age means starting up an additional warming cycle on top of an existing warming cycle.
That could reach unprecedented high temperatures.
And since we know there are inherent positive feed back mechanisms that can greatly accelerate global warming, it is incredibly risky.
We could easily reach such high temperatures that all live on the planet could be wiped out.
We have already increased by 3 degrees F, and all it takes for extinction is about an increase of 11 degrees F.

Ummmm...you think the planet is warming because of the heat released by burning fuel, not the GHGs released?

Likely both.
But remember that a planet is in the vacuum of space, so can not conduct away heat.
It can accumulate east until it roasts, very easily.
That is what happened to Venus, where the surface temperature is 3 times what it should normally be, if not for greenhouse gases.
People have to remember what fossil fuels are.
They are stored ancient solar energy, that accumulated over hundreds of millions of years of sunlight striking the earth.
When you burn fossil fuel, you are not just releasing energy that is concentrated from over a wide geographical area, but also over a wide span of time.
