@nursery The cats out of the bag that it was a scam, the IPCC is now including solar forcing data into the CMIP6 report for the first time and the next one is due out in 2022. Petteri Taalas the WMO secretary-general told them to pull their heads in because the whole AGW crowd including Greta were acting like terrorists and are going to look very silly in the near future with a whole omelette on their faces. So they are all slowly pulling back and out of sight, Greta is now touting as a virus expert. With all of the global lockdowns / work-from-home / no air travel and pollution clearing, all of the experts are marvelling at the fact CO2 levels have still stayed at 415ppm showing it's not related to human activity. Cycle 25 is kicking off as the near record of days without sunspots and will be interesting to watch as we come from the solar minimum to the solar maximum peak in 2028 -32, this and cycle 26 (Eddy minimum) will be at least similar to Dalton minimum if not Maunder conditions. The cooling is already showing with the Indian Ocean Dipole in neutral and heading to negative and a La Nina, great for Aussie farmers but India is in for a drought. Natural cycles used for political means, every GSM a Chinese dynasty fell, here's hoping this time is no different.
