Global Warming and Global Cooling

[Watchman]

We’ve warned for years, since Sent To Earth, in 2001, that the current uptrend in temperatures closely resembles a similar period during the Middle Ages that ended around 1350 and was followed, like a curtain dropping, by global cooling.

The “culprit” is the sun, or more to the point, a bunch of sunspots — again, similar to recent decades.

Heightened sunspot activity led to higher temperatures.

Like our own time, there were striking reports. Glaciers began melting in the Arctic. It became so warm that they could farm the northernmost highlands in England and even Norway. Sea levels rose, as the glaciers, including in Antarctica, turned to mush. Hurricanes became more fierce.

But then came a dearth of sunspots known as the “Maunder Minimum” and temperatures plummeted.

That cold spell lasted until well into the last century. (Think: George Washington and, at the beginning of the cooling, the frozen Delaware.) READ FULL ARTICLE
