The notion as TOF understands it was that as the sun “beat” faster, it hit solar max more often in a given time span and so the earth would get warmer. As it slowed down, the sun would hit max less often and the earth would cool. At the time, Global Cooling had been all the rage, so TOF was startled to see this beautiful science bludgeoned to death by some ugly facts. Global Cooling was actually that downward “trend” from about 1940 to about 1970. Based on this, TOF prophesied at the time that the new upward trend would run from 1970-2000 and starting about AD 2000, temperatures would once again top off as they had in the 1940s. IOW, TOF predicted the current “pause.” Yay! And also the cooling that is about to overtake us (2000-2030), now that the sun has gone out. Boo!

Perfect. thanks I need that (insert evil laugh)
Reblogged this on The zombie apocalypse survival homestead and commented:
I got your global warming right here, zombies!
I was thinking to reblog the source but you already made the perfect distillation. :-)
I find TOF worth reading in most all of the time anyways. :D
I couldn’t find a way to subscribe by email. I never see those feeds until long after
As best I can tell, there isn’t one. I just have a file of sites that I can’t get by email, and open them up when I need browsing fodder. Like at one in the morning when it’s still bloody 84 degrees in the house!
Yeah that’s where they go. Since I joined the Huns I rarely visit them.
