The next 6 to 12 months is going to be interesting

Bearing in mind, they keep saying #SolarMinimum not due until 2029 🤷‍♂️

Pointed out for years the #SolarCycles are dropping, predicted a record long #SolarMinimum (happened) and that #NASA got #SolarCycle24 wrong (from 2006), was a record low, not high .. now we have a spotless sun and #ArcticIce has increased 13% since .. 2007? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Geophysicist now talking about #EarthScience and the links I have for years, #SolarCycles acting up, link to #Earthquakes, #SolarMinimum coming, likely a #GrandSolarMinimum and #GlobalCooling

Humans convinced they have the power ..

The Sun's magnetic field reverses polarity approximately every 11 years, marking the peak and trough of the solar cycle. #SolarCycle #SolarMaximum #SolarMinimum

Reinvigorated Sun and Prominence

A stunning close-up image of the Sun's chromosphere reveals a massive solar prominence extending beyond the solar limb. The prominence, captured in hydrogen-alpha light, showcases intricate details and appears as a luminous cloud of gas held above the Sun's surface by its magnetic field. The image highlights the increased solar activity following an unusually quiet Solar Minimum. Earth could easily fit below the prominence.

Close-up image of the Sun's surface during a Solar Minimum. The image shows the Sun's textured surface with prominences of hot plasma erupting at the edge, some larger than Earth. Even during a quiet period, the Sun displays dynamic activity. Image credit: Alan Friedman.

The International Space Station Transits the Sun

A black and white image shows the sun, a bright white circle against a black background. A small, dark silhouette of the International Space Station (ISS) is visible transiting across the sun's surface. The image highlights the relative size of the ISS compared to the sun, and the surprising lack of sunspots during a period of solar minimum.

#AGW #ClimateCrisis fanatics, showed over 7 years they did not understand the 4 main drivers of #SolarActivity, #Volcanoes, Oceans and Clouds .. claimed #SolarFlares and #SolarStorms cannot happen around #SolarMinimum

Guess who was right?

Biggest solar storms can occur years after solar maximum
Solar Cycle 25 remains in an active phase after reaching its peak sunspot number in late 2024, but major solar storms remain possible as the cycle declines, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)...

When it comes to pushers of #AGW #ClimateChange calling it a #ClimateCrisis and things like #snow and cold ..

.. and THEN there were none! No .. not their number of predictions .. #SolarCycle25 #sunspots as we head into #SolarMinimum

For those that know about the #magnetosphere, the #atmosphere and how the energy works, for me the old days have returned as the #SolarActivity is dropping to a #SolarMinimum .. but a sudden drop of in #sunspots has been seen

They move from left to right .. so zero is likely tomorrow

With the #AGW #ClimateCrisis .. the #Atlantic will now be cooling for three decades .. the #Pacific in recent years more La Nina than El Nino and Southern Ocean cooler than decades ago

Oh and the #SolarActivity heading to a #SolarMinimum

#GlobalTemperatures trending back down

#Volcanoes .. could be about to rise 'Our computer has identified a rise in #VolcanicActivity during #SolarMinimum, more #GammaRays that tend to penetrate the Earth’s surface'

Said it would rise back in 2018-19 .. #ClimateChange people said 'no' ..

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a supervolcano is any volcanic center that has explosively erupted at least 1,000 cubic kilometers

Added to this, we have a huge coronal hole on the sun and the #SolarActivity recently dropped off a cliff and #SolarMinimum is also coming in a few years

Add all these up and getting worse for three years?

The #Arctic was supposed to be ice-free by 2013 too

There is a #SolarMinimum coming up while a lower than average #SolarMaximum took place while there was still record cold and #snow

So to recap .. this has come out, we are heading towards a #SolarMinimum some, like #ProfessorValentinaZharkova said would be a #GrandSolarMinimum

We have had many cool period in the Pacific and in La Nada for a time
