John Coleman on the recent solar slump announcement

“Very exaggerated, given that a Maunder minimum is only one of many possible outcomes.”
If the known cyclical factors of the Sun, from the ~11 year solar cycle to the 70, 200, and 600 year patterns and run them at the same time, they create an interference pattern which nicely recreates the solar cycle sunspot numbers from the Maunder Minimum all the way up to today’s solar cycle 24. Following the interference pattern forward, we see, oh, another Maunder Minimum for the next two cycles. Fancy that! No computer model needed, just examination of history and detectable patterns. The prediction here is NOT one of many possible outcomes; it is the most likely outcome, however.

It would be pretty amusing if the pranksters on Olympus unleashed Jack Frost on the hotheads.

“Why do some humans panic about the weather or climate? Why do some humans blame man for anomalous changes in climate or weather?”
Jimbo, it’s a scam to make money, accrue power, and alter the world, depending on who you are. There are a number of elements here.
1) ManBearPig Gore and friends want to make money off carbon trading and investing early in gov’t subsidized green companies; gov’t mandates ensure that there will be a forced market for the products—they cannot fail.
2)The radical environmentalists, who really do not like people (there are many too many in their opinion), get all kinds of validation and get to be on the winning side as the global warming scam makes all humans the bad guys.
3) Politicians and gov’ts see a chance to gain huge power over the people, the economy, and have unprecedented levels of control over the individual. They also see huge potential new revenue streams through carbon taxes and credits auctioning and trading. A projected $600 billion from carbon was even in the US administration’s budget last time one was presented in 2009. That failed totally, but the gov’t was salivating and already planning how to spend it. They want to create a false carbon economy based on a false crisis.
4) The socialists see a great chance, as the global warming scam is global, to force the creation of a one-world gov’t which would have to be totalitarian and socialist (the Club of Rome’s dream scenario).
5) The IPCC was set up as a highly funded propaganda machine to create a case for Draconian regulations of all economies and virtually every form of human activity and product. They fund a subset of scientists such that they have to support the scam claims or lose their funding. You cannot trust a man when the welfare of his family and his job depends on agreeing with his employer. We now have a class of subverted “scientists.”
As there is no real science supporting the IPCC junk science claims, they have to prevaricate, alter, fabricate, generate ad hominem attacks, and claim conspiracy when real science and real world facts contradict them. With IPCC funding levels over a 1000 times greater than the skeptics, the warmists claim foul when people with brains in the public tend to believe real science and not the bedwetting warmist claims that never come true.
No, this is not cultural, it is not psychological, it is a perfect storm of largely opportunistic, dishonest, and/or radical people and governments taking advantage of the public by utilizing one of Hitler’s most effective strategems: Make the lies big, repeat them often, and the people will believe.
