Connecting The Dots Between Solar Cycles/Volcano Activity & Their Role In Our Planets Weather & Climate Cycles.
January 9, 2026. Stormy Winter Skies. West Of Hope, New Mexico. Several years ago, during the middle of the very heated and controversial climate change propaganda and debates, a group of respected scientists publicly came out with this statement: "It's the sun, stupid." That may offend some, but to this day it remains one of my all-time favorite quotes. The sun and its associated solar cycles drive the planet's climate and weather. Volcanoes also play a major role, and the sun plays a major role in how and when they erupt. When they reach the major or historical eruption stage, they alter the planets short term weather and long term climate cycles. The solar cycles, especially the solar minima cycles and grand solar minimums have drastically altered our weather and climate throughout history. Most notably during the last Little Ice Age. Many believe we are due or overdue for another such event. Add to this mix the sun's effects on the world's ocean temper...
Hang tight...yes, moisture so close but so far...sigh. The ugly is in place way up here - mild 43F at dawn when I went outside, but 40F and icy N winds an hour later after I got ready. Clear and sunny, yet hazy on cold winds and still mid-40's.
ReplyDeleteThe 3 things are windy, dusty / dry, and cold...next week's warm-up will be welcome!
