.... the fallback which is being set up is to simply criminalize 'denial' be it science based or not. This is why I consider you guys 'regressive'. Regressing right back to the dark ages when the priests of the Catholic church defined reality and the earth was flat. The analog between the church and it's priest class vs. the IIPC and it's 'scientismist' class is startling.

A concern about global cooling is certainly warranted. Here is an article from the Huffington Post (not exactly a bunch of right wing conspiracy theorists, are they ? ) Anyone who wants to shut down discussion of this or criminalize it is bat shit crazy.

But a relatively quiet sun could cause problems. Some scientists say that this period of weak solar activity may mirror what happened before the so-called Maunder Minimum of 1645 to 1715 a period named after solar astronomers Annie and E. Walter Maunder, who studied sunspots and helped identify the suns strange activity in the latter part of the 17th Century. That time period saw only 30 sunspots (one one-thousandth of what would be expected) and coincided with a Little Ice Age in Europe, during which the Thames River and the Baltic Sea froze over.
Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading in the U.K., estimated that we have u
p to a one-in-five chance of being in Maunder Minimum conditions 40 years from now.
