Appriciate the link. I will study it with interest as I am really just trying to understand this subject as best I can. Rather than try to explain my current understanding here I would encourage you to take a look at the article I wrote: https://steemit.com/iceage/@samstonehill/a-cold-reality-we-are-not-ready-for-the-upcoming-ice-age
It was interesting to read the many comments under the post. Strange don't you think that almost everyone is in agreement with my prognosis? Perhaps of course, my followers on steem are just a conspiratorial bunch who enjoy challenging the status quo, or perhaps there really is something to this?
Either way, it is my mission now to get as close to the truth as I can! I have two small children and knowing what to expect for their future is very important to me.
Thank you for being polite with me. Only the best people are able to politely discuss a subject they don't agree with.
Dear @samstonehill,
I would recommend to read through the following web pages:
https://skepticalscience.com/
https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
In regards to sun spots: This will just be a much much smaller effect than overall global warming...
but you will find it all very properly explained on those web pages...
in regards to @bloom .. I understand your feelings.. however you have to see that people as him and me who for decades try to bring global warming science to the public just feel tired of hearing the same wrong claims by non scientists (the sources you are referring to are either not written by climate scientists or long outdated )over and over again..
also I have to give you credit that you made a very nice post...
maybe you find the links useful and let them impact your knowledge base a bit.. as you seem to be a caring and engaged person...
You have however a point in aiming for an independent living style...
the first thing you could do: Install a solar PV array.. and get independent from you dirty power supplier...
Thank you, it is indeed nice to have civil conversations like this when two people do not have the same points of view. I have read to post already quickly, but I'll go through it and give my honest thoughts.
I must admit that I am also susceptible to the confirmation bias, where one tends to read what only confirms his beliefs, so It's a good practice to be open to other's points of view.
