The likely largest driver of Earth's surface temperature is the amount of energy delivered from the Sun. During the "Maunder Minimum" from 1645 to 1715 when there were no sunspots for about five decades, there was a "little ice age" in Europe. The Sun has a variety of cycles longer than the 11-year long cycle. Some cycles are more than 1,000 years long. Here's an introduction from January, 2017 : https://www.swsc-journal.org/articles/swsc/pdf/2017/01/swsc170014.pdf

While the 2017 paper takes a somewhat skeptical view of the influence of variations in solar irradiance, I find it striking that the review paper does *not* include a reference to the 2003 book, The Maunder Minimum and the Variable Sun-Earth Connection by Soon and Yaskell, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335950578_The_Maunder_Minimum_and_the_Variable_Sun-Earth_Connection The above webpage provides a link to download a no-cost PDF version of this important 2003 324-page book which I highly recommend. I've communicated via email with Willie Wei-Hock Soon and he mentioned some of the funding challenges he has faced because his narrative is not the one favored by the current collection of elites. Here's a short article which provides color regarding this controversy: https://www.gem.wiki/Willie_Soon

Soon did an excellent no BS thought provoking interview with Tucker :

Excellent! That is what I would expect from Dr. Willie Soon.

TC can you define "settled science" for me? Because I thought science continues to evolve as we learn. 🤔😁

That's a tough one brother, how about the basic Law's of Physics and Thermodynamics - that's as far as i am willing to stick my neck out, lol

and remember, even Newton's 3 laws were superseded at the atomic scale

All environmental studies are fraudulent. They have the outcome pre determined before any study is done. Anyone who comes up with data that doesn’t support the hypothesis is instantly defunded and not published. If some how you persist and get the work published you will never ever get a dime of this free money from Uncle Sam. Your career will be over and you will have to flip burgers to pay your bills because no one will ever hire again in the field. You only have to ruin a couple careers to keep the sheep in line.

How can they claim to be NGOs when they are funded by the government ? I guess they don’t care?

Climate change f/k/a global warming has been a scam since Day 1. The inconvenient truth is that the climate has been steadily warming since the end of the last glacial period and will most likely continue to do so for the next several thousand years . . . and there's not a damned thing we can do about it.

Exactly Danno, thanks for weighing in.

To your points, ice core samples show a 10,000 year cycle, and we are just exiting an ice age currently.

every time there is one of these 'debates' where the global warmists claim it is all manmade, i simply want to ask how may internal combustion engines helped warm the earth after the Ice Age.

97% of Scientists Agree - OR DO THEY? (Short), Ivor Cummins:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD88ld8MGZ8

"Super conversation with Ronan Connolly PhD, Climate Scientist - he explains EVERYTHING you need to know about the whole field! Please get all the CERES resources and support them, link in blogpost here: https://thefatemperor.com/97-per-cent... Short vid here explains the "97% of scientists agree" claim!"

What they really are saying is: "97% of climate scientists agree they don't want to be defunded".

Excellent. I have saved to my YouTube.

Back in the day, us scientists would of rather fallen on our sword than submit to scientific fraud that is so prevalent these days!

Restacks appreciated.

Best,

The Perfect money laundering and grift scam. With power and control dynamics thrown in - my unscientific, and my own opinion!

They raided the biggest mine ever - the taxpayers pockets!

You have to give them credit for a job well done - I suppose, while it lasted!
