The new Economist Magazine Year 2019 has a black cover, which is unusual because normally it is ornately decorated with predictions for the coming year, that is unless you can see the Black Horse arriving as the next broken seal. With the Grand Solar Minimum intensification ready to ramp up 4x through 2019, the symbolism is stark and seems to point to rising food prices and further declining global crop yields.

Land som satser på sol og vindenergi vil få skyhøye strømpriser. Det kan man overleve men når det blåser lite og snøen dekker solcllepanelene blir det et stort problem. I California og Tyskland var de uten strøm i perioder i flere distrikter. I desember 2017 fikk solcellene i Tyskland bare 12 timer sol. Strømmen er så dyr så Teslaeierne har solceller på garasjen. Det hjelper lite når de ikke får sol. De måtte fyre i gang flere kullkraftverk. I California hvor det er varmt brukte aircondition så mye strøm at det ble rasjonering. Med en mini istid som jeg er 100% sikker på kommer vil det bli store problemer med strømmen. I Norge.England, Frankrike USA og mange andre var de uten strøm i ukesvis sist vinter. Tenk hvordan det blir når kulde og snø virkelig setter inn. Og hva med vannkraft når elver og vann fryser til. Da kan du bare stole på bensin og diesel.

The interview comes from Leonardo DiCaprio’s new climate change documentary, ‘Before the Flood,’ airing on the Nat Geo Channel on Oct. 30.
For the last 20 years climate scientists and campaigners have warned that atolls and low-lying islands are facing an imminent threat to their existence due to climate change and sea level rise which could soon cause the complete disappearance of entire islands. A new paper that reviews Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls including 709 islands reveals that no atoll lost land area and that 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted.

A great scientist named Roger Revelle had Al Gore in his class at Harvard and the Global Warming campaign was born. Revelle tried to calm things down years later, but Gore said Revelle was Senile and refused to debate. John Coleman documents the entire story and shows how our tax dollars are perpetuating the Global Warming alarmist campaign even though temperatures have not risen in years and years.

Global Warming activists will tell you that CO2 is bad and dangerous. The EPA has even classified it as a pollutant. But is it? Patrick Moore provides some surprising facts about the benefits of CO2 that you won’t hear in the current debate.
In the long term, the sun is the main driver of all weather and climate and multi-decadal trends in solar activity can have major impacts on oceanic and atmospheric temperatures. In addition, empirical observations have shown that the sun can have important ramifications on weather and climate on shorter time scales including those associated with the average solar cycle of around 11-years. For example, there is evidence that low solar activity during solar minimum years tend to be well-correlated with more frequent high-latitude blocking events compared to normal and this type of atmospheric phenomenon can play an important role in the winter season.

The image above shows massive gains in ice extent in East Siberian and Laptev basins. East Siberian added 383k km2 for a total of 821, or 75% of last March maximum. Laptev was mostly open water in September, but added 550k km2 in the last ten days for a total of 650k km2 or 72% of last March maximum.
