“We see a cooling trend,” Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center said two years ago, a remark largely ignored but still relevant. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy.
If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.”
Like the humans it keeps alive, our star goes through phases, usually about 11 years, over the course of its life.
Right now we’re in what NASA calls solar cycle 25, emerging last December from a solar minimum that fell between solar cycles 24 and 25.
“It is important to remember solar activity never stops; it changes form as the pendulum swings,” says Lika Guhathakurta, solar scientist at NASA’s Heliophysics Division.
But climate alarmism continues to grow exponentially. It’s more shrill today than it’s ever been.
For the record, global temperatures dropped from 2016 through late 2019. We don’t know about any unprecedented cooling in the last two years. But maybe the climatistas need to consider that solar activity affects our climate.
“This global cooling during the upcoming grand solar minimum 1 (2020–2053),” says Valentina Zharkova, “can offset for 3 decades any signs of global warming and would require inter-government efforts to tackle problems with heat and food supplies for the whole population of Earth”

“The 25th Amendment allows for temporary ouster of a disabled president, but it requires the active participation of a majority of his Cabinet — or the Republican Senate’s assent to setting up some other body to rule on his fitness.
And there is no provision for removing a president just because Pelosi is offended by his existence.
.@debates proves that it, too, is in the tank for Joe Biden
Its bid to dictate a new, virtual format for the next Biden-Trump faceoff was a blatant gift to a candidate who never wants to stray far from his basement.
“This, when it had ample safe ways to put on an in-person, distanced event — as on Wednesday night, with the vice presidential candidates spaced 12 feet apart.
Americans should see candidates off the cuff, responding to difficult questions. Biden, after all, has plainly been reading scripts even at “live” remote events for weeks now.
“What we have is the Democrat Party and the Chinese Communist Party effectively making common cause in the defeat of Donald J. Trump,” White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro said.
In one instance of China’s debate outage, documented on Twitter by Beijing-based reporter Nathan VanderKlippe, the feed cut out when Pence criticized China. The debate was televised in the country on @CNN.

“Peter Beinart, the newly minted contributing New York Times columnist, recently argued in an op-ed at the paper that Israel should be dissolved, its inhabitants thrown to the mercy of terror organizations such as Hamas and the PLO.
Apparently, he has something comparable in mind for the United States.
Calling on the past examples of racist authoritarian Woodrow Wilson, the unapologetic Communist Paul Robeson, Malcom X, Black Panthers, and others,
“Seduced by racial grievance hustlers, or hypnotized by peddlers of Critical Race Theory, many people lose the capacity for skeptical inquiry.
It apparently never occurs to most Americans to question whether the categories “white” and “black,” in contemporary usage, describe the kind of collective blocs of ethnic solidarity that permits useful analysis.
Hours after @NYGovCuomo’s conference call with community leaders asking them for help in reducing shul occupancy to 50%, Cuomo announced that houses of worship in areas with COVID spikes would be restricted -w/some allowed as few as 10 worshippers. hamodia.com/2020/10/07/jew…
“... the governor pretended that he was ready to listen to us…he lied to us. After telling us that he’ll limit shul participation to 50% capacity, he placed a limit of 10 people. We all feel used, targeted and enraged.”
“...there was absolutely no discussion of reducing houses of worship to ten, and communal leaders feel completely betrayed by the governors unilateral decision.
