We must hope Dr. Soon is right �

�Real-world evidence certainly supports him.� � Jeffrey Foss, PhD_____________

Introduction by Paul Driessen

�We should all hope Earth will cool, says science philosopher Jeff Foss, because nobody with any trace of human decency would hope the Earth will actually suffer catastrophic warming. Not that catastrophic warming is actually likely. But calamitous global warming bad news is endlessly rewarded by big money from the government and servile amplification from traditional big news media � while the good news of global cooling is largely silenced and unheard. (We�re not talking about the frigid conditions visited on so much of the USA in recent weeks by the massive polar vortex.)�

�Why is global cooling good news? Because real science shows us that cooling is part of a natural cycle, driven by solar cycles that atmospheric physicist Dr. Willie Soon has discussed for years. The increase in global temperatures since 1800 was caused by two centuries of increasing solar output � not by human use of coal and oil. But then solar output began to fall around 2000, in another cycle of solar activity, and global warming stopped. Around the middle of this century, solar activity will recover and temperatures will begin warming once again � again because of solar activity, not fossil fuels or carbon dioxide emissions.�

�As Dr. Foss explains in this article, the prescribed cure for the alleged Climate/Global Warming Apocalypse is far worse than the purported disease.�

And the global warming apocalypse is not nigh. Real-world evidence certainly supports him.

Jeffrey Foss, PhD

Everyone has heard the bad news. Imminent Climate Apocalypse (aka �global warming� and �climate change�) threatens humanity and planet with devastation, unless we abandon the use of fossil fuels.

Far fewer people have heard the good news. The sun has just entered its Grand Minimum phase, and the Earth will gradually cool over the next few decades.

Why should we all hope Earth will cool? Because nobody with any trace of human decency would hope the Earth will actually suffer catastrophic warming.

Many of us believe in the threat of global warming, but live in the hope that we can switch to �renewable energy� before it is too late. But this is a false hope. Despite our best efforts over several decades, renewables such as wind and solar energy still meet only 2% of global energy needs, while hydro adds only 7% or so.

So avoiding the alleged Climate Apocalypse by relying on renewable energy would require surviving on less than 10% of our current energy requirements. But that is impossible. It would also be really catastrophic: billions could die.

Our global economy runs on energy, and over 80% of it is still fossil fuels, with nuclear and other non-renewables providing another 10%. If we switch to renewables tomorrow, 90% of our energy will be lost, and the global economy will sink like the Titanic. Keeping nuclear power would merely add a second lifeboat as the great ship sinks. Even if the energy loss were spread out over decades, the final result would still be the same.



Humankind could not produce enough food, clothing and shelter. Jobs would vanish. Massive starvation, disease and death would result. Hard physical labor would once again become the norm. Even though life could be maintained for some portion of humanity, liberty and happiness would be lost.

Let�s stop pretending. The prescribed cure for Climate/Global Warming Apocalypse is far worse than the purported disease. If we don�t use coal, oil and natural gas for energy, many of the 7 billion of us now alive must die. Those who survive will be impoverished and enslaved, toiling and scavenging for food by day, and fearing the darkness by night � except for the privileged few who still have money, energy and power.

The sudden and dramatic growth of human life, liberty, and happiness since the industrial revolution was achieved by replacing muscle power with coal and oil power. Before that, Hillsdale College professor of history Burt Folsom points out, only the wealthy could afford whale oil and candles. Everyone else had to go to bed early, and often hungry, when the sun went down, sleeping to recover enough energy to work � only to repeat the daily cycle yet again. Freedom of thought and travel had little real worth when we were too tired to think or walk.

The petroleum age saved whales from the brink of extinction � and brought cheap kerosene to the masses, so that they could read at night, bringing light into their lives and their brains.



The premature switch to renewable energy recommended by the false prophets of Climate Apocalypse is really just one step in an industrial counter-revolution devoutly desired by those discontented with modern life in free market democracies � and ready to erase our hard-won prosperity and freedom.

The Climate Apocalypse global warming bad news is rewarded by big money from the government and servile amplification from traditional big news media � while the good news of global cooling is silenced and unheard, stifled by both traditional media and most of today�s social media platforms.

We should all be suspicious of the motives of those who push this bad news, and welcome those who push back. Dr. Willie Soon is one scientist, although by no means the only one, who has the courage to stand up to big money, big government, big (pseudo) science, big media and big environmentalism to spread the good news. It�s high time we all heard it.

The good news from Dr. Soon and his fellow solar scientists is that the increase in global temperatures since 1800 was caused by two centuries of increasing solar output � not by human use of coal and oil.

But then solar output began to fall around 2000, in a repetition of a well-known 200-year cycle of solar activity, and global warming stopped. That�s more good news that too few people know. The purveyors of Climate Apocalypse have no explanation for this two-decade failure of their prophecy, which fortunately for all of humanity shows the superiority of solar science over apocalyptic warming foretold by computer models, hysteria and headlines � but not by real-world evidence.

Finally, solar science says we should expect steady but manageable global cooling until about mid-century, when solar activity will recover and temperatures begin to warm once again. Once again, this will be due to solar activity, and not to fossil fuels or carbon dioxide emissions.

In the best news of all, that means humanity�s successful pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, and better living standards and healthcare needn�t be stopped by Climate Apocalypse � or its prescribed cure. The only thing we have to fear is the fear of Climate Apocalypse itself.

Equally important, a warmer or cooler planet with more atmospheric CO2 and plentiful, reliable, affordable fossil fuel and nuclear energy would be infinitely preferable to a cooler planet with less CO2 and only expensive, intermittent, weather-dependent wind, solar and biofuel energy.

At the very least, humankind has an historic opportunity to witness a crucial test between two scientific hypotheses of enormous consequence. The next decade or two will reveal whether Earth warms or cools.

Surely all right-minded people must hope that it cools � and that the fear-mongering of imminent global warming apocalypse cools as well.

I might add that no one should wish the current severe Chicago-style polar vortex cold on anyone. I extend my sympathies and prayers to all who are now suffering from the cold. But be of good cheer in the knowledge that this cold-snap at least puts the lie to vastly worse climate scare global warming stories.

I also wouldn�t wish on anyone the �Green New Deal� energy reality of February 1, 2019 � when wind power provided 1.5% of the energy that kept lights on and homes warm in America�s Mid-Atlantic region, solar provided zero, and derided and despised coal, natural gas and nuclear power provided a whopping 93% or that energy! Imagine the cold, misery and death toll under 100% pseudo-renewable energy.

Note: I (Robert) agree with most of this article by Dr Foss. However, I do not, repeat, do not agree with the idea that we should hope for global cooling. Nor do I expect �steady but manageable global cooling until about mid-century.�

I fear that we could sink into the same sort of misery, starvation, impoverishment, enslavement and deprivation that accompanied the the Little Ice Age solar minimum. In fact, I worry that things could get even worse than they were during the Little Ice Age, because this time, the earth�s magnetic field strength (which protects us), has been dropping precipitously.
