Connecting The Dots Between Solar Cycles/Volcano Activity & Their Role In Our Planets Weather & Climate Cycles.

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 temperatures and underwater volcano eruptions and their effects on ocean temperatures, and you have an extremely complicated puzzle to try to solve when it comes to weather patterns and climate cycles.

Dr. Ryan Maue has been posting a lot of very interesting tweets linking these two factors on his X account. I've copied and pasted most of them below, as well as some of the articles he has referenced.

I've followed David DuByne (Adapt 2030) for years, and for the most part, he is in the zone. I don't always agree with everything he puts out, but he knows what he is talking about and is worth listening to. Watch his YouTube video embedded below about the Hunga Tonga Volcano Eruption in 2022. That event may be a key player in our recent drought and heat waves here in the Desert Southwest.

John Casey wrote a fascinating book, "Upheaval!": Why Catastrophic Earthquakes Will Soon Strike The United States. His timing of the upcoming events has been off, but his thinking, in my opinion, is also correct. We are due for another 200-230-year solar minimum cycle with a flip back towards colder weather, with another mini-ice age. The question is, when does it begin?

Understandiing earths weather and climate is no easy task. Trying to predict or figure out what's coming months or years in advance is still virtually impossible with any degree of certainty. Looking back at history gives us some pretty good clues, though.
