Theory v Raw Data on Sun Energy Output


QUESTION:  Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October 2018. The information she unveiled should shake/wake you up.

Zharkova was one of only two scientists to correctly predict solar cycle 24 would be weaker than cycle 23 — in fact, only 2 out of 150 models predicted this.

Zharkova’s models have run at a 97% accuracy and now suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum is on the cards beginning 2020.

Reduction of heat from the sun to 60%! 97% probability!
Have Mr. Armstrong included such data into Socrates?

THANKS much for the work and viewpoints.

Raphael … one of the appreciative readers.

ANSWER: I have included the raw data, not Professor Zharkova’s theory. Our computer accurately forecasts that decline in Solar Cycle #23 and it is projecting a major decline for Solar Cycle #24.

Now, Socrates is not concerned about the theory. It is correlating the data from many fields. The link between economics and the energy output of the sun is beyond question. Civilization has expanded ONLY during warming periods and has contracted during global cooling. It does not care as to the reasons. It is only concerned with the correlations.

Each solar cycle has been in a declining position making lower highs than the previous. This is market terms in a bear market. The next one, Cycle #24, is going to decline sharply. That is simply cyclical analysis and pattern recognition. I am not using any particular theory, but our results can be used to confirm the validity of a theory.

Super Camera Can Find You in a Crowd – No Place to Hide


If you thought you could hide, you will soon need a face transplant to do so. Chinese scientists at the Fudan University  and Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, have developed a 500MP cloud-connected “super camera” that can reportedly pick out facial details of an individual person among thousands in a crowded stadium.

Simply put, there is no place to hide.

Mollie Hemingway spoke on October 3, 2019 during the 175th Anniversary Celebration. Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

Full story of Hywind Scotland – world’s first floating wind farm


Some people thought we were crazy when we put a giant wind turbine on top of a floating spar structure and towed it out to sea. But it turned out to be the future, and the future is now. This year we made a giant leap forward as we installed and started producing electricity from the world’s first floating wind farm. The 30 MW Hywind Scotland pilot park will demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial floating wind farms that could be more than four times the size. This will further increase the global market potential for offshore wind energy, contributing to realising Statoil’s ambition of profitable growth in renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions.

Applauded by many governments around the world as one of the cleanest initiatives for the generation of energy, the wind industry is also one of the most expensive and heavily subsidized, compared with other power generation alternatives. Ryan M. Yonk, Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, presents interesting and little-known facts, which demystify wind power’s efficiency, cost, and benefits for the environment.

 

Winter Wonderland – Volatility in Weather & Communism


Our computer models have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is absolutely no basis for human-caused global warming and that the climate has ALWAYS changed. There is no foundation to presume that the climate is being altered by humans. There have been previous periods where CO2 levels have been more than twice that currently.

We are breaking records for cold each year. Weather is changing and the next solar cycle our model is forecasting will be a lower activity level that the past wave and there remains a risk of things getting much more colder during the winters with swings to heat and droughts in the summer.

This usurpation of climate change to force communism/socialism upon society to justify government seizing control of industry and to punish wealth is a major fraud. It is being rejected in Asia and many see this as a political agenda to keep developing nations in poverty.

We are facing a very serious threat to our liberty from these Climate Change people and most of the supporters actually think they are saving the environment and are oblivious to the real agenda behind the fake research. It certainly appears that the West will decline and Asia will rise for the next cycle to be the Financial Capital of the World because the hidden agenda of the real communists are pushing Climate Change to take over the economy.

I even question whether Al Gore, who has no expertise in science, understands that he is being used for a covert agenda and the $100 million he is earning from Global Warming may end up in their pocket at the end of the day.

NBA Bows to Communist China: Sorry Rockets GM Stood for Hong Kong Freedom

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has a reputation for allowing players to speak out on issues of justice and discrimination. Some call it ‘the woke league’. However, when Houston Rockets’ GM Daryl Morey tweeted support for the Hong Kong democracy movement, his owner, some players, and his league, rebuked him and rejected his statement. Rockets player James Harden proclaimed love for China. After a bit of behind the scenes Chinese re-education, Morey, apologized that he ‘got woke’ for freedom, . Bill Whittle says the NBA reaction is the perfect epitaph for the USA tombstone. Bill Whittle Now with Scott Ott comes five times each week thank to the Members who fund it.

We simply could not operate that way.” (…at least not if it hurts sales of tickets and apparel.)

The Climate Change Fraud Used by Marxists When Communism Failed


This is a good documentary on the subject of human-caused climate change. In a court of law, the evidence argued by the global warming crowd is absolutely a joke and in a real court of law, they would be charged with criminal fraud. This is an agenda which has been usurped by the Marxists who simply want to destroy the free market and impose their will to redistribute wealth so they do not feel inferior because other people have made money they only dream of having but either are too lazy to work or lack the talents to earn money.

This is the backdrop to people like Thomas Piketty, the French economist from communism’s birthplace, who argues it is not fair that anyone has more money than he does. Piketty wants to drive a stake through the heart of capitalism and restore Marxism thereby subjugating human rights. If it is unfair to discriminate against race, gender, or creed, then why is it reasonable to discriminate against people because of their wealth? To this crowd, a doctor should earn no more than a trash-truck driver. By earning more, you are suppressing others even if you try to help others.

We are facing a very serious crisis for the Marxists who have usurped climate as the new excuse to end the freedoms that were once guaranteed by the constitution we generally refer to as human rights. This is building into a serious issue for they then immediately attack anyone who disagrees with their agenda intimidating politicians around the world.

Using Courts to End Fossil Fuels


In Alaska, attorneys for 16 young Alaskans have sued over state climate change policy. They are trying to shut down fossil fuels and arguing their case before Alaska Supreme Court justices. They are claiming that state policy, which promotes fossil fuels, violates the constitutional right of young Alaskans to a safe climate. They are claiming that human-caused climate change will be catastrophic unless atmospheric carbon dioxide declines.

If they have a constitutional right to a safe climate, which has never been defined and they could never prove is human-induced, then I should have a right to be free from Marxists trying to shut down airplanes, cars, and the industrial revolution. That is a denial of my right to be free from their subjugation. They simply want to seize the economy and impose central control all over again. They are communists using climate change as their excuse.
