Lack of sunspots to bring record cold, warns NASA scientist
November 12, 2018 by Robert   

“It could happen in a matter of months,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center.

“The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age,” wrote Dr Tony Phillips just six weeks ago, on 27 Sep 2018.

Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Phillips, editor of spaceweather.com.

Data from NASA’s TIMED satellite show that the thermosphere (the uppermost layer of air around our planet) is cooling and shrinking, literally decreasing the radius of the atmosphere.

Solution: 
create more CO2 to warm the earh.

What's the worry? The last Glaciation don't look too bad. At least from the Gulf Coast.

Doesn't look to bad for most of the U.S., of course I have no Idea what length of winter we will have or what food crops we will have to get used to eating.

With that much water frozen on land, I wonder how far the Gulf Coast coastline would move away?

Brrrr! Thanksgiving could set new cold records in Northeast

Low temps forecast to run 15F to 25F below average.
Look at these forecast highs. Highs!

    Bangor, ME               14F (-10C)
    Burlington, VT          18F (-7.8C)
    Syracuse, NY             19F (-7.2C)
    Boston, MA               22F (-5.6C)
    Providence, RI          22F (-5.6C)
    New York City, NY   27F (-2.8C)
    Pittsburgh, PA          28F (-2.2C)
    Philadelphia, PA      29F (-1.7C)
    Cleveland, OH          29F (-1.7C)
    Washington, D.C.    33F (+0.5C)

New York City has celebrated(?) only three Thanksgivings since 1870 when temperatures failed to rise out of the 20s. Will this be the fourth such occasion? The city’s record cold high for the date was set 117 years ago, on 28 Nov 1901, when the mercury topped out at 26F.

That the solar minimum has appeared at a time of global warming raises some questions. Could one do away with the other?
