Colder weather, here we come.

We're heading into what's called a deep solar minimum, where the sun's output is markedly less. With a lower solar output, we're going into a time of cooler temperatures.

In other words, global cooling.

You see, temperature variations are not caused by industries. They're not caused by burning coal mines or natural gas veins. If anything on earth can affect global temperature variations, it's volcanic eruptions, with the gasses and ash they spew into the air--and once again, they cause a small, world-wide temperature drop as ash floats in the upper atmosphere, and blocks part of the solar energy that reaches earth.

Granted, humans have a small effect, but first-world countries with their greater emphasis on clean energy and industry are not as much a part of that as second-world up-and-comers like India and China, who are struggling to build industry, and have less to spend on clean industry. And, again, even that is a small effect. Just as temperature variations following volcanic eruptions is a small effect. Global climate shift is caused by solar variations, not earthly.

That means man-caused global warming is a faith-based tenet that completely ignores actual science.
