First of all, lets actually see if it is the coldest winter in 1000 years, and if it is THEN speculate as to why. What happens if it turns out to be your standard winter most are familiar with, is everything in the world bunk?
You better break out yer woolies. I got me old bones and not in a bag, and they say cold. Now I haven't been around 1000 years yet, but I still know that feel of cold, and it will be. Too cold to snow much.
I'l bet a cigar too .
Another proof is my right shoulder is hitched up lame, which is tellin'.
What it tells is I been out in the wood pile splittin and cuttin wood.
The last solar minimum should have ended last year, but something peculiar has been happening. Although solar minimums normally last about 16 months, the current one has stretched over 26 months—the longest in a century. One reason, according to a paper submitted to the International Astronomical Union Symposium No. 273, an online colloquium, is that the magnetic field strength of sunspots appears to be waning.
Man made global warming is an unproven theory, an inactive sun is our reality.
Excellent point. While earth's climate is affected by orbit, tilt etc., the biggest factor is the "furnace", and how fast and hot it burns. No doubt, the next ice age is coming - maybe not soon, but it IS on its way. When it does, people will prey for global warming, or hand warming, or feet warming, or just about any kind of warming they can get.
