People-Caused Global Warming Is a Fraud; Little Ice Age Looms
Our climate system consists primarily of the sun, its atmosphere and heliosphere, galactic cosmic rays, our Earth with oceans and atmosphere, including water vapor, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.
The sun’s heat output, i.e., total solar irradiance will drop from 1,366 watts per square meter at Earth’s surface in 1990 to 1,360 in 2043. This is the TSI drop experienced in the Maunder Minimum (1645 to 1715), the coldest part of the 18th Little Ice Age in the last 7,500 years.
In simple terms, the sun throws off magnetism and charged particles in 4 pi sterradians (a sphere) and this spreads at solar wind velocities to form a heliosphere of protection for the planets, including Earth, from energetic cosmic ray charged particles.
When the sun is more active, the heliosphere is more dense and larger in diameter and affords more protection to Earth by intercepting/destroying more cosmic ray charged particles or deflecting them so they do not impact Earth.
In the sun’s TSI cycle, we just passed the maximum and are headed for the next minimum (known as a Little Ice Age) in about 2043. The heliosphere is only about half its maximum size and is less dense, so more galactic cosmic rays get through. These cause ionization in our troposphere, which leads to more low, wet clouds, more reflected sun heat (increased Earth planetary albedo) and more bad weather upsets on Earth.
In the previous LIA (number 18 in the last 7,500 years) starting in 1280, this caused torrential rains in Britain and Europe as well as China. It got cold; crops would not grow/mature. The result was starvation. Europe went to China and purchased grain. With the grain came rats with fleas carrying bubonic plague.
The population of Europe and China was decimated by 1350 to half what it was in 1280. In the USA now that would be 160 million folks killed in 70 years.
For the world now, that would be the loss of 3.6 billion people. This is very serious.
Antarctic ice core data for 800,000 years show that the sun always warms first (in its about 200 year cycle) and this warms the Earth and oceans. Then the oceans release some carbon dioxide, which increases the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. There is about 50 times as much CO2 in the oceans as there is in the atmosphere; oceans are nowhere near saturated with CO2.
A small CO2 percentage release from the oceans makes a large percentage atmospheric concentration increase. The sun reaches maximum TSI, then Earth reaches maximum temperature. Later, CO2 reaches maximum concentration. CO2 atmospheric concentration never increased or maxed before Earth/ocean increase/max in temperature in the ice core record.
CO2 contributed by man is miniscule compared to naturally occurring CO2 from under-sea volcanoes and hot springs where Earth’s crustal plates are being pulled apart. There is no evidence at all that CO2 causes global warming. The sun drives global warming, not CO2. Anthropogenic global warming is false.

Professions of Faith Nice, Even If It Takes Place on a Football Field
The gentleman who wrote in regarding football players praying on the football field surprised me. I am usually quite happy that they are professing their faith openly. That is something that has definitely become controversial and politically incorrect.
I say go for it and stand up for what you believe. The U.S. was established on Christian values and faith in God, and these days many want to just throw that away. So any time I see a profession of faith I’m glad.
I find it hard to believe that they would pray openly to gain men’s approval because I think if anything they are taking a chance of just the opposite happening. Being a Christian in their sports world would be very challenging. Matthew 10: 32-33 says, “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”
Besides, I had no idea that you were privy to what they were actually praying. I always assumed that they were praying that they would fulfill their potential, use their God-given gift and play to the best of their ability, that there would be no injuries, they would compete fairly and that God would watch over all that were present.
