The world is cooling - not warming..

The world has been cooling since 1998 – and all the gains made by global warming – a natural variation climate wise from my point of view – has been wiped out. In fact – the cooling wiped out the gains from past warming last year.
As many of you know I forecast climate by solar activity and have the past week been intensely studying past activity, charts, and solar activity as regards the temperature of the earth.
The Global warming fraternity have said that a warming world would spell doom and gloom – but fail to point out that far more people die of cold than heat – and that in fact a warmer world would mean more harvests with a longer growing season and a larger area to grow crops. Hot or warm – everything grows well – in frost and cold – nothing grows. Contrast that to how civilisation has always flourished in times of warming – to the shrinking in the colder years and it is easy to see how a warmer world helps us to survive. Greenland at one time were much warmer than at present and was well populated. The Roman armies enjoyed a time of vines growing here in the UK.
Many more people die of cold each year worldwide – than from heat. Humans can adapt to heat and in fact live in all parts of the world however hot – none can survive in very cold zones for any length of time without huge resources.
From this point of view I would of course rather a warming world than a cooling one.
However having looked at all the data that is available at present there is no doubt we are in a cooling phase – and that phase is accelerating. If you think last winter was cold in the northern hemisphere then prepare for some real shocks this year as we continue to cool. We are now entering a phase solar wise that is very similar to the period when ice fairs were held on the river Thames in London – and there in no reason to think things cannot again become this cold. Take that we are now into an orbit that take us further away from our heat source in winter – the sun – another natural cycle – and that the sun is and has been very quiet for quite some time now – cooling is a done deal. It won't be long before humans are blamed for cooling – even though the world is now geared – and continues to be geared for warming. My advice is prepare for some very cold snowy winters in the next few years - and for winters to become progressively severe for at least the next decade– and for cool summers that will follow. We are entering a Maunder minimum. Whatever the global warming religion will tell you – we only have one heat source – and that is the sun...And sadly at the moment – even that is cooler...
