When there are many sunspots and the Sun is active, there is a danger that a strong solar ejection directed towards the Earth could damage or even destroy the thousands of satellites on which the world depends for everything from radio, telephone, television and internet communications to monitoring the climate and observing the farthest reaches of the universe. Worse, a really strong solar storm could damage the largely unshielded terrestrial electricity grid. Most power lines and transformers are above ground and thus acutely vulnerable.

The algorithm predicted the sunspots from 2021 to 2100. It suggests that the current low solar activity is likely to continue until 2050.

James Hansen former NASA scientist, considered the father of global awareness of man-made global warming, man-made climate change, man-made climate disruption: The latest prediction does extend the period in which Hansen and Schmidt’s theories cannot be falsified by temperature observations. Up, down or sideways, this paper covers their butts. Why doesn’t the US Government save some taxpayer’s money, ask Punxsutawney Phil for his climate predictions, instead of continuing to pay NASA GISS for their each way bets?

Gregory Wrightstone, geologist has been investigating the Earth’s processes for more than 35 years. He is author of the newly published book Inconvenient Facts: The 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference, “COP25,” began with a cryptic address by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres: “By the end of the coming decade we will be on one of two paths, one of which is sleepwalking past the point of no return … Despite what Greta Thunberg or António Guterres would have you believe, it isn’t a lack of political will that explains the absence of the United States at COP25. Quite the opposite. America's refusal to cosign radical climate extremism is a courageous gesture of principled inaction.

Paul Driessen, senior policy advisor for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow: On multiple levels – federal, state and local... hospitals, industries, armed forces and nursing homes – the United States and nearly every other country seem to have been woefully underprepared for the Coronavirus that came roaring out of Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. If all these countries were paying so little attention to these recurrent pandemics, and spending so little money preparing for them – what WERE they focusing on? The answer is allegedly “dangerous man-made global warming and climate change.” In other words, very little on diseases that hit humanity very hard and quite often – versus enormous, inordinate amounts on a supposed threat that exists primarily in computer models and media headlines, and assumes Earth’s climate was stable and near-perfect until a few decades ago. Most of the Main Stream Media, universsities and National Academies of Science agree with these Wunderkinder.

The climate system is vast with the interaction of forces we do not fully understand. Climate change cannot be assumed to be geocentric without influence from cosmic and solar weather. Historical data exposes serious flaws in many climate reports with respect to, for example: the behavior of shorelines as sea level rises; the prediction of future sea level rise; the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global warming; the frequency and severity of storms; the regional temperature data used to assess global warming trends.

Since computer-based climate models have over-projected temperature rise for the last 40 years, climate scientists need to change direction and seriously consider using short-term climate cycles (whether atmospheric, oceanic, cosmic or solar) as forecasting tools. Even if not understood, such cycles have been fashioned by natural forces over vast periods of times. Their forward projections should be given priority over the forward projections of computer models that are programmed using the present limited knowledge of the climate system.

O.R. Adams, Jr., Jennifer Marohasy: O.R. Adams, a lawyer and serious student of science, presents his case about carbon dioxide from fossil fuels not being an important factor in claims of man global warming. His key scientist witness is Dr. Jennifer Marohasy in Australia. The main data are CO2 and temperature records of the Mauna Loa, Hawaii Observatory, both measured night and day. The temperature data is not well known and is key to this article. What do you students, teachers, scientists, the public and political leaders around the world think?

In 1971, as a PhD student in ecology I joined an activist group in a church basement in Vancouver Canada and sailed on a small boat across the Pacific to protest US Hydrogen bomb testing in Alaska. We became Greenpeace.

There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years. If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.

The increase in temperature between 1910-1940 was virtually identical to the increase between 1970-2000. Yet the IPCC does not attribute the increase from 1910-1940 to “human influence.” They are clear in their belief that human emissions impact only the increase “since the mid-20th century”.

If we wish to preserve natural biodiversity, wildlife, and human well being, we should simultaneously plan for both warming and cooling, recognizing that cooling would be the most damaging of the two trends.

Jean-Luc Salanave, Le développementfulgurantdes énergies solaire, photovoltaïque etéolienne,en ce débutde XXIe siècle, nous faitaussi expérimenter leurs inconvénients.La technologie en solutionnera bon nombre,mais intermittence etencombrementdemeurerontdes défauts majeurs de ces deux sources d’énergie tantqu’il y aura des absences de soleil ou de vent,etque 10 milliards de terriens auront besoin de surfaces habitables,cultivables etde forêts. Conclusion Pour satisfaire ses besoins énergétiques,l’homme ne disposera de rien d’autre que des trois seules forces fondamentales que la nature metà sa disposition :la force électromagnétique (énergies chimiques,combustibles fossiles,biomasse,photovoltaïque,…),la gravitation (énergies hydraulique,éolienne,inertielle,potentielle …) et les forces nucléaires (radioactivité,fission,fusion).

Richard McFarland, retired NASA physicist: Consider the occasionally revealed intentions of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming Alarmists. See quotes below. "Greenpeace and others protesting CO2 and global warming, based on a mere BELIEF, like any other religion, is as laughable (if it weren't for their wilful and unlawful disruption of honest TAX-PAYING citizens' lives) as demanding the government 'do something' about the length of daylight, or the force of gravity, or the composition of Jupiter. These gullible people need to learn to think for themselves."

Life depends on CO2. Satellite images show greening of the entire Earth from the modest increases of CO2 so far. We are still very far from the optimum concentrations for plants, at least the 1000 ppm used in commercial greenhouses. The modern world depends on energy and by-products from fossil fuels.

Over the last two years, some of the world’s most powerful and influential bankers and investors have argued that climate change poses a grave threat to financial markets and that nations must switch urgently from using fossil fuels to using renewables.

But a major new staff report from the New York Federal Reserve Bank throws cold water on the over-heated rhetoric coming from activist investors, bankers, and politicians. “How Bad Are Weather Disasters for Banks?” asks the title of the report by three economists. “Not very,” they answer in the first sentence of the abstract.

References to climate change almost guarantee funding, even for research topics of little interest beyond academia and eco-activists. Polls reveal that many people worry most about energy, food prices, crime, living standards, Putin’s war on Ukraine, and increasing efforts to control their lives.

The gravest threat to wildlife habitats and biodiversity (and to people’s rights, needs, and living standards) is not climate change. It is policies and programs created, implemented, and imposed in the name of preventing climate change.

John Shanahan is a civil engineer and past president of Go Nuclear, Inc. and Environmentalists for Nuclear - USA: There is a titanic struggle over the topic of man-made global warming and man-made sea level rise. The struggle exists on five levels: a) among scientists who have a good knowledge of physics and chemistry related to carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and its role in the entire subject of atmospheric, ocean and land sciences, b) among politicians, c) among people who are determined to save the world from fossil fuels and man-made carbon dioxide, no matter the effects on humanity, d) among other scientists and engineers who claim to have the answers, d) among the public who have very little to no knowledge of atmospheric science, but nevertheless are sure they know the correct answers. A second important topic relates to advocates for nuclear energy who claim to have the answers. If they are wrong about man-made global warming, how can they be trusted with information about nuclear energy. The absolute truth will only come from nature in time. The question is, "How many big mistakes will humans make on this topic before the truth is fully known?

Viv Forbes, Executive Director of the Saltbush Club which opposes the war on carbon energy, opposes real pollution, and promotes the rational and sustainable use of carbon energy and carbon food: We don’t need rowdy Extinction Hellions on our streets – we need Education on Extinctions in our science academies, classrooms and media. Extinctions are natural events that close every chapter of Earth’s history - they remove species that can’t cope with competition or change. Better adapted species take their place.

Tom Wysmuller, Lecturer at Colderside.com: He documents the disconnect between temperature and CO2 for the last 2000 years. It is amazing how some scientists including former White House Science Advisor, John Holdren, and the National Academy of Sciences of which he is a member claim that there is a direct relationship between atmospheric CO2 concentration and man-made global warming, man-made climate change, man-made climate disruption. The names have changed since 1980 to suit their goals for predicting climate gloom.
