Hi Guys

I wanted to alert you to the oncoming Grand Solar Minimum, the evidence for this, and a preparedness plan that you might consider. This is not about Global Warming.

Currently the world economy is on the verge of collapse. The oncoming cold and the effects this will have on the oil price, the farming sector and the general economy threaten to turn a drama into a crisis.

Increased cold will stimulate energy demand and impact the oil price harming any recovery from the recession and reducing GDP in temperate regions.

Crop damage and a shorter growing season will impact staple food production. Higher energy prices will reduce farming profitability. Some farms will need to transition to cold weather crops. The agricultural sector of GDP will fall.

Transportation will be affected with shipping affected by frozen ports and navigable rivers. Road and rail transport will also be affected. In turn trade will be affected.

Rolling blackouts through ice storms and fuel shortages will leave businesses and homes powerless.

A snippet from Wikipedia shows the effect on the UK of a single cold winter in 1947:

"Coal supplies struggled to get through to power stations and many stations were forced to shut down for lack of fuel. The government introduced several measures to cut power consumption, including restricting domestic electricity to 19 hours per day and cutting industrial supplies completely.

Towards the end of February there were also fears of a food shortage as supplies were cut off and vegetables frozen into the ground.

The winter had severe effects on British industries with around 10% of the year's industrial production lost, cereal and potato crops down 10–20% and one quarter of sheep stocks lost."

Whilst 1947 was a cold winter it does not compare with temperatures met during previous minima.

The Yearly Central UK Temperature Record runs from 1772 and shows a below average trend for the years 1780-1830. This was the Dalton Minimum which the oncoming cold period is expected to broadly match. Compare this to the post 1985 trend line which shows an above average trend. The difference between the two periods is roughly 2C, the temperature fall we are now expecting.

Astrophysicist Ian Wilson's Research Predicts Grand Solar Minimum:

"Also of interest is the forecast for the next few cycles. Ian's data and predictions agree with my own and show that SC24/25 will be grand minimum type cycles and then a recovery is expected."

Scientist David Archibald predicts a 2.2C temperature drop:

A decline in average annual temperature of 2.2°C is here predicted for the mid-latitude regions over Solar Cycle 24. The result will be an equator-ward shift in continental climatic conditions in the mid-latitudes of the order of 300 km, with consequent severe effects on world agricultural productivity.

Preparedness plan offering many cold weather survival methods:

"This threat is not a short-term problem but extends over several decades. Of the 27 “Grand Minima’s” that have occurred over the past 12,000 years: 30% lasted less than 50 years, 52% lasted between 50 and 100 years, and 18% lasted over 100 years. Of these, the longest was Spörer Minimum which lasted approximately 150 years."

Wow, this turns it all back, doesn't it?
Neutral milk or slightly acidic will kee from freezing ten minutes longer than the Omega point.
With all that said, whats the NEXT STEP FOR US NORTHERN HEMISPHERERES
