Dear Earthlings,

The Earth is now moving into a mini Ice Age. Make plans now.

All my Love,
Mr. Sun.

Yes, we're entering a solar minimum and should be cooling off, but we're not.

Except, it ain't. Climate misinformers and media attention grabbing notwithstanding.

Even if Earth were to experience a new Maunder Minimum in solar activity, the rise in temperatures would only slow, not stop.

A three-cycle stretch (total of 33 years) of record low solar activity would (with a lot of caveats and maybes) knock 0.5-0.8 of a degree Celsius off the projected temperature rise over the next 80 years.

All my Love,
Mr. Sun.

What do you mean by "mini Ice Age"? Do you mean the actual ice age we should be moving into (but aren't)?

Ice Ages are kicked off by the Milankovich Cycles and we are now in a time when we should be moving into the next ice age. But we aren't. WE ARE WARMING. Hmmmm. I wonder why that is.

What POSSIBLE thing is now happening on earth that WASN'T happening during the last real ice age about 110,000 years ago.

Hmmmmm...

Dear Mr Sun,

We have polluted our atmosphere with enough greenhouse gases that we have no concern about cooling, indeed every scientific measurement says we are getting ever warmer, indeed the past few years at the same time you are cooling we have been hotter than at any time in recorded history.

All my love,
earthlings,

Gotta it love when proof of causes are primarily demonstrated by future events.

Ah, no.

Dear Mr. Sun,

Get a clue! They're cheaper than vowels.

Sincerly,

Mr. Reality

Please get back to us when you can explain the difference between "climate" and "weather".

Weather is the day to day changes in precipitation and temperature, climate is the long term average of a place's temperature and precipitation, which by all measurements our climate is warming.

He does. Lest you think he's referring to winter, he's actually referring to the fact that the sun has been moribund the last three cycles and we're entering a solar minimum, but we're still getting warmer despite those facts.

No it isn't. Much like Pizzagate and birtherism, the stuff folks are reading on the Internet are simply wrong.
