Solar Cycle 24: Implications for the United States

The implications for the US identified in the following apply just as much to Canada.  It would be well and good if the Canadian politicians and bureaucrats who jumped on the politically-correct band-wagon of climate alarmism based on anthropogenic global warming were to stop the AGW-driven deconstruction of our economy and engage in launching more practical programs for adapting to the accelerating cooling trend that began in 1998 and will continue for the next 30 years or perhaps even longer.

An overview of David Archibald’s findings about the correlation between solar activity trends and climate trends is contained in the record of a slide presentation he gave:

Solar Cycle 24: Implications for the United States

David Archibald
International Conference on Climate Change
March, 2008

He makes no bones about that,

AGW Proponents are Exactly Wrong

1. The Earth is getting colder and this will accelerate.

2. Carbon dioxide has a minuscule warming effect.

3. Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will increase agricultural productivity.

4. The ideal atmospheric carbon dioxide level is a minimum of 1,000 ppm

He states in the last slide of his presentation:

Implications for the United States

1. The climate-driven reduction in agricultural production should be planned for.

2. Coal-fired power generation should be increased.

3. Coal to liquid fuels capacity should be installed.

It would be a good thing for anyone who doubts that those assertions are correct to look through the whole presentation and the comments David Archibald provided. Understand the evidence and reasoning (that will only take a few minutes).  After all, some of the most eminent climate scientists in the world agree with David Archibald .
