Forget global warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if
NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again)

    Met Office releases new figures which show no warming in 15 years

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an
inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing
the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to
rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the
Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was
issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of
East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in
world temperatures ended in 1997.

fairs on the River Thames during the mini ice age

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday
that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th
Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output,
threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season
available for growing food.

Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots
seen at their peak.

We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’
– which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the
aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are
running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th
Century.

Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona – derived from
magnetic-field measurements 120,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface –
suggest that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal
weaker still.

Whoops! No Global Warming For the Last 15 Years
Science is all about questioning theories.

Opponents of the global warming cult have often been confronted with a
little presto-chango logical fallacy.  When the dearth of evidence that
human activity contributes to any sort of climate change became
painfully inconvenient, the cult began deliberately conflating
“man-made” or “anthropogenic” warming with temperature fluctuations that
might be entirely natural phenomena.

This allowed the fanatics to posture as reasonable people of science,
while dismissing those who advanced reasonable questions as fanatics.
If you agreed that the globe might be warming, you were automatically
signed on to the entirely different belief that human activity was
causing it.  Various studies purporting to show increases in temperature
were cited, and magically transformed into “proof” that the
economy-destroying, power-centralizing agenda of the Church of Global
Warming must be adopted immediately.  Greenhouse gases are killing the
Earth!  The science is settled!

This was always about power and money, not science.  Here’s a little
data crunching from one of the great cathedrals of global warming
alarmism, the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit – which
was also the source of the “Climagate” emails that revealed much of the
global warming movement was based on deliberate fraud.  As reported by
the UK Daily Mail:

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an
inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing

(Emphases mine.)  “Released without fanfare,” eh?  That’s funny, because
this has to be one of the most important stories in modern history.  The
entire global warming movement just went up in smoke.  All of the
shrieking hysteria about greenhouse gases, which still drives
multi-billion dollar command economics programs in the United States has
just been revealed as a pile of anti-scientific garbage.

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday
that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th
Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output,
threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season
available for growing food.

Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots
seen at their peak.

We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’
– which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the
aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are
running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th
Century.

So the primary factor driving “climate change” is not people running
their air conditioners and driving around in cars, but rather… the Sun.
Were your kids told any of this when their public-school teachers were
busy indoctrinating them in Green dogma about man-made global warming?
Was it ever even suggested that maybe human activity had far less to do
with global temperature changes than solar activity?

The modern “climate change” movement began with warnings of global
cooling, and the threat of an impending Ice Age, back in the Seventies.
This was changed for purely political reasons, because it obviously
wasn’t something that could be blamed on human activity.  But car
engines are hot, and hot gas comes out of their mufflers, so maybe that
gas is forming into toxic clouds in the upper atmosphere, and turning
the Earth into an oven!  Factory smokestacks even look kind of like
ovens, don’t they?  We can scare people into giving up their economic
liberty with that!

A Duke University climatologist quoted by the Daily Mail noted “if
temperatures continue to stay flat or start to cool again, the
divergence between the models and recorded data will eventually become
so great that the whole scientific community will question the current
theories.”  Questioning theories?  Now that sounds like science!
Unfortunately for the cultists, it’s not very helpful for getting
cap-and-trade legislation passed, or selling “carbon credits.”

Other stories hinting at this outcome have popped up over the past few
years, but this one is definitive… and utterly devastating to the
official religion of the U.S. government.  Think of all the millions
charlatans like Al Gore have raked in from gullible suckers over the
years.  “An inconvenient truth,” indeed.  The birth of global warming
was heralded by big-budget Hollywood movies and hysterical political
campaigns.  Its final demise occurred without fanfare.
