The ‘new normal’ is not what you think

As millions of Californians endured power outages, and thousands more were evacuated under threats of catastrophic wildfires this weekend, former Gov. Jerry Brown told Politico that “this is only a taste of the horror and the terror that will occur” in coming decades if officials in Washington don’t deal with climate change.”

I agree with former Gov. Brown. This is only the taste of what is to come; however, it will not be from his version of anthropogenic climate change. The climate will vary significantly as the earth experiences yet another grand solar minimum.

During regular solar cycles, approximately every 11 years, the sun’s magnetic field flips. As the sun’s magnetic field flips from one pole to the other, there are fewer sunspots. Fewer spots reduce the activity on the sun’s surface, thus lowering the solar energy emitted by the sun. This low point is called solar minimum, which we are currently experiencing.

A Grand Solar Minimum occurs when several solar cycles exhibit less than average activity for decades. Solar cycles still occur during these grand solar minimum periods but are at a lower intensity. Past grand solar minimums are correlated with extreme global and regional climate variability.

There is NOT ONE DAMN THING the fedgov can do to effectively ameliorate "climate change". The lefties are using this as an excuse to take total control of people's lives and implement their socialist agenda. They can prepare for the worst by ensuring we have a stable, robust electrical grid, plenty of gasoline/diesel, and at least 6 months of stored food in al regions of the US. They can do the best for the first two by stepping out of the way of the utilities and oil companies and et them do what they need. The best way is to scrap thee "renewable" portfolios and free up al federal lands for drilling.

That's right.. And for your third point, they can quit taxing inventory so folks don't have to pay taxes on what they haven't sold yet... JIT (Just in Time) is a nightmare, totally driven by inventory taxes.
