Thank you for the information.
I have also been studting resonant frwquencies and the connection of all masses of material via emf waves.
I want to understand more about how this seem8ngly unstudied science of interconnectedness would reveal the effects of emf waves between human animal and plant biomes up the chain to planet wide waves and ultimately across solar system bodies out across the galaxy and universe.
Seems that if waves of energy can effect emotions, than likewise collective empptions can affect the world at large.
Anyway, I for one want to know more….

Sunspots and Solar Flares have more effect on our weather then do all the backyard BBQ’s and SUV’s do

“It must be remembered that the uncertainties in this field of science remain gigantic. No one really understands why the Sun’s magnetic dynamo goes through these cycles and flips in polarity. No one really understands why it produces sunspots as it does. And no one for sure yet knows exactly how the Sun’s cyclical behavior directly effects the climate.”

This says it all.

However, when we are considering the possibilities of long term cycles, it stands to reason that the next cycle (25) would be lower than 24 but not nonexistent. We will have to wait and see, and adjust our theories accordingly. We do not yet know enough to predict whether or not we are going into a grand minimum.

We know for certain that the Canadian Rockies are significantly colder now (even after this current warming trend) than it was 5000 years ago, by the existence of “forest” (albeit alpine) where glaciers are currently in existence.

We know for certain, the northern hemisphere was colder during the Maunder minimum. We do not know the mechanisms in place whereby this was effected. We have the chance to know much more should research funds enable more great minds investigate with “open minds”.

While it would be good to clarify various scientific fields with a good unambiguous grand solar minimum, I must admit that I much prefer the annoyance of smug scientists that think they know more than they do and want to enact potentially harmful policies on insufficient data to the probable effects on agriculture and the like of a grand minimum. It’s kind of sobering to realize that it wasn’t really that long ago in geologic times that where I live was under nearly a kilometer of ice, and there is some research that suggests that the transition from ice-free to massive glaciation may have happened in mere decades. A grand minimum isn’t likely to trigger that kind of change, but I’d rather not find out.

MR.Z –
Good update, thank you.

I embrace the term Mystery, all the while acknowledging "uncertainties" and "gigantic" which may be Mysteries for now, as so many have been in our past, only then to become visible and revealed as we struggle with our understandings.

I enjoy closing my eyes and looking up towards the sun.
Also, while awaiting more "uncertainties" from the solar winds.
