QUESTION: NASA believes that this next solar maximum will be less than the last. Do you agree with that, or should I ask Socrates to agree with that? My second question is the coming asteroid. They say it will hit the earth in 2032. Is that part of Socrates’ forecast?
Fred
ANSWER: Well, as for the asteroid hitting the Earth in 2032, they are playing it down really hard, like it has less than 3%. However, they are already looking at ways to try to destroy it because the odds are much higher than they are telling you. All I can say is that the 8.6-year cycle functions on a fractal basis, and it is extremely accurate. The precession of the equinox is nearly 25,800 years in duration, and that is 3 x 8.6. The fact that this is arriving in 2032 may simply be destiny and part of the universe’s timing.
Now, as to the next solar cycle, we show it should arrive here in 2025, but our computer disagrees with NASA, and it should be stronger than the last. This is the trend into 2032 for solar energy to intensify, meaning more significant flares and possible disruption to power grids, etc. This will be part of the trend into 2032 that will also impact the commodity markets.
The attached report on Global Weather for January 2024 Data has charts showing the relationship between CO2 growth and Temperature increases going up since we started to accurately measure CO2 in the atmosphere in 1958. These Charts were created by showing CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about ~34.0% from 1958 to January 2024. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.
Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature also from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the actual change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is about ~.3% and may reach .5% by 2028. To even be able to see this minuscule change we had to reduce the scale of the Temperature Axis by a factor of ten.
This Chart 8 uses unaltered values from NOAA and NASA properly displayed ,and the Blue and Yellow projections are created by Microsoft Excel not me.
The NOAA and NASA numbers tell us the story of the Very Small Changes in the temperature of the planets Atmosphere As Carbon Dioxide goes up geometrically.

Imagine handing a $2 billion grant to an organization that produced $100 in revenue. This is precisely what happened under Joe Biden’s watch when the EPA approved a $2 billion payout to yet another climate-related non-profit that acted as a political slush fund for the liberal elite. There is NO possible way to defend this blatant corruption.
Power Forward Communities is a non-profit climate activism organization linked to Biden chorine Stacey Abrahms. I will never refrain from repeating that the INFLATION REDUCTION ACT WAS A CLIMATE CHANGE SLUSH FUND. Joe Biden admitted the entire premise of America’s largest spending package was all designed under the guise of climate change. The people were completely deceived into believing the act would address inflation. The new administration is continuing to peel back the layers of where the funds from that $2.7 trillion package actually went.
Once more, the Inflation Reduction Act went beyond Biden and the US. Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted the truth behind the Inflation Reduction Act as well: “The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity,” Yellen clearly stated. It provided the government with an opportunity to eliminate our energy independence. We did not have an energy crisis before Joe Biden took office. His campaign was built around the globalist BUILD BACK BETTER agenda to sacrifice one’s nation to usher in the Great Reset. The World Economic Forum put it in writing that knocking down America was part of the plan, and people still voted for Biden. Then everyone acted surprised when he plummeted our nation’s economy as if that wasn’t his platform from the beginning.
Over $360 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act was set aside specifically for climate change initiatives. Where are those funds now? So far, it seems the money spent was funneled through various agencies linked directly to the Democrats. Grants were not awarded based on merit but recklessly handed out to whoever had their hand out. The majority of these so-called non-profits have done very little with the money they were awarded, as transparency was intentionally avoided.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, created through the Inflation Reduction Act, deemed it necessary to pay Power Forward $2 billion. Now, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin revealed that his agency awarded eight different climate agencies a total of $20 billion under Biden. Project Veritas filmed a former EPA employee explaining how they were directed to spend as much as possible before Trump took office, comparing their actions to throwing gold bars off the Titanic.
Stacey Abrams serves as senior counsel at Rewiring America, one of the founding groups of Power Forward Communities. This woman has a track record of financial mismanagement. Abrahms was $200,000 in debt back in 2018 before her net worth grew to $3.17 million by 2022. Abrahms admitted that she accumulated hundreds of thousands in debt due to student loans, credit card debt, and back taxes because rules for thee but not me. Still, they insisted she could manage the budget of the state of Georgia during her failed bid for governor. Her refusal to concede made her an activist figure for the left, and she profited off her political celebrity status. But did she EARN her millions?
Power Forward has done nothing thus far but suddenly wants to spend $539 million in the coming weeks on energy-efficient housing. Zeldin would like that money back. The taxpayers should demand that the money be returned. Imagine if Donald Trump awarded $2 billion to an organization that earned less than a child’s lemonade stand and had connections to a conservative ally? The absolute corruption of the past administration is unbelievable as they robbed the public blind for climate, migrants, war, and personal gain.

Justin Trudeau continually touts that Canada is on track to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Of course, all of the politicians claiming that they can meet this target will not be in politics long enough to execute the plan. In fact, numerous studies have found that it will be impossible to meet net zero by 2050, no matter how much governments spend on climate change.
The Fraser Institute found that Canadian workers will be paying C$8,000 annually by 2050 to meet these impossible targets. The institute believes that as a result of the climate agenda, real GDP will decline by 7%, and income will decline by 6% per worker, resulting in 250,000 fewer jobs. Simulating the Emission Reduction Plan (ERP) into 2050 would, at best, lead to a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions.
The study then began looking at the carbon tax. Forcing companies to pay C$400 per tonne could decrease emissions by 68%, but tripling that figure to C$1,200 would only result in an additional 6% decline. These measures could cause GDP to fall a massive 18%, with incomes declining by 17%.
Kenneth Green in “Rapid Decarbonization of Electricity and Future Supply Constraints” noted that Canada simply does not have the infrastructure to support these lower carbon goals. “Canada would need to rapidly build infrastructure on a scale never before seen in the country’s history,” Green stated. He estimates that the nation would need an additional 684 TWh of electricity by 2050 to meet demand. Green believes Canada would need around 16 new nuclear power plant facilities, which he estimates would take 112 years to complete.
Wind power is not a reliable alternative. Canada would need to build 575 new wind-power installations, which would take an estimated 1,150 years to complete and 1 million hectares of land. Solar is not an option. Canada would need 840 solar generating stations and 1,680 years to complete by 2050. Green did not factor in the regulations and legalities in approving such projects.
Some have deemed the Paris Accord and other nations heightened pledges “emissions impossible.” There is no feasible way for nations to simply eliminate carbon emissions. Yet, that will not prevent governments from extorting the people for a scheme that is doomed to fail.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin found $20 BILLION in public funds that his predecessors from the Biden era of perpetual spending purposely wasted. Project Veritas first discovered the deliberate wasteful spending of the EPA through investigative journalism. A former EPA staffer called the agency’s spending under Biden akin to throwing gold bars off the Titanic. Zeldin is demanding that recipients return the “gold bars.”
“The “gold bars” were tax dollars, and “tossing them off the Titanic” meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it,” Zeldin shared on X after posting the “extremely disturbing” Project Veritas video. “[T]his scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposefully designed to obligate all the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.”
It is far easier to retain funds than it is to retrieve them. Zeldin recently saved the government $50 million on a grant to the Climate Justice Alliance, a group that believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine.” Why did a government agency provide this alliance with $50 million? A portion of the grant was intended for a CONCERT to promote awareness for climate change in Palestine. The group claimed the Trump administration is simply spreading “misinformation” that “aims to scapegoat non-white and non-rich people.”
Even the weather is racist and sexist, according to the far left. Everything can be chalked up to climate change. Hillary Clinton said that the weather was hurting women in Ukraine, so it is on course for a leftist agency to say they need funds to fight climate change in Palestine. It is absolute lunacy, but a portion of the population nods in agreement and believes that privileged Americans should pay to somehow fix the nonexistent situation.
Let’s take a closer look at this organization that claims a just transition cannot happen through charity alone. As noted on the group’s website: “We must organize to move money out of the old economy using both public and private vehicles. We must weaken the power of the speculative markets, extreme energy, worker exploitation, extraction and militarism while strengthening economic and political democracy, placing power in the hands of the people.” Do you see a conflict of government interest here?
The EPA is one of countless agencies that have been weaponized by the left. For years, the people have paid into these ANTI-AMERICAN agencies that were openly working against the democracy of America in favor of globalist pursuits. The show is over.

Only 10 of the 195 nations on board for the Paris Agreement have met the February 10, 2025, deadline to release their “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs). These NDCs are presented as detailed blueprints for how nations will continue cutting emissions to meet each five-year global stocktake (GST) goal. The problem is that 95% of nations have no plan in place.
The Paris Agreement began ten years and trillions of dollars ago, but no noticeable progress has been made. The United Nations admitted back in 2019 that the Paris Agreement or Accord was destined to fail. Even if every pledging nation met 100% of the UN mandates, they would still fall 2/3 short of meeting their targets. They admit that even if every country involved in those accords complied with their pledges between now and 2030, temperatures would still rise by 3 degrees Celsius by 2100. It is astonishing that nations continue to buy into this agreement that is destined to fail because the targets were created with no regard for naturally occurring weather cycles.
Yet, 195 nations agreed to continue tackling this losing battle. The GST is split into three phases: data collection, technical assessment, and consideration of outputs. Governments and climate scientists have compiled over 170,000 pages spanning over 252 hours of meetings and the final advice from the United Nations is always the same – nations are failing to meet their objectives.
Of the 10 nations who complied with the latest deadline, the US and UK were the only G7 nations to submit plans. The US submitted its plan before Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement. This is yet another example of how the US has been funding globalist initiatives.
Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Andorra, Ecuador and Saint Lucia also met the deadline, but the UN has warned that the UAE, Brazil, and Switzerland have plans that are “not compatible” with meeting the 1.5C target by 2035. The UN said that the UK is potentially on the right track if it agrees to INCREASE SPENDING to help other nations meet their goals, a role formerly filled by the US.
“Without dedicated efforts to ramp up finance, you’re not going to achieve the triple [renewable] energy target, so that’s definitely something that needs to be reckoned with in the global stocktake outcome,” the Centre for Science and Environment told Carbon Brief.
Anyone can make a pledge and pander to the climate social justice warrior crowd. That does not mean they intend to follow through. The pressure is placed on the nations who can pay up and are expected to cover the costs for others. Numerous nations who have been touting their lofty climate goals like Australia and Canada plan to release their GST plans after elections as it a bargaining chip. The goal can never be achieved but that will not prevent the United Nations from squeezing every last cent out of member nations.
There is still outrage surrounding the elimination of the EPA. People do not realize just how much money this agency blew through on absolutely nothing. Biden admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, the most expensive spending package in US history, was about CLIMATE CHANGE at its core and had nothing to do with inflation. Those at the EPA called the act “Biden’s climate law” and were eager to spend the proceeds. Efron told an undercover journalist that they were preparing to spend the money as quickly as possible right up until inauguration day.
The EPA was aware that Trump would likely eliminate their impractical agency. “We gave them [nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren’t [a government agency], they’re safer from Republicans taking the money away,” he said. The EPA awarded nonprofits between $50 and $100 million EACH toward the end of Biden’s presidency.
The Biden Administration effectively permitted this agency to “throw gold bars” off the edge of the Titanic and needlessly spend public funds. All of these investigations lead to the same conclusion. The government provides nonprofits with a large sum and those agencies then funnel the money to smaller agencies, whether its related to climate change or funding terrorism. This is precisely why Trump attempted to freeze all federal funds upon taking office.

COMMENT: Hi Martin,
In terms of trends determined by higher highs and lower lows, such as your analysis of the Democratic party in the US, stats like the crazy one below could probably tell a similar tale pertaining to the global warming fraud.
Just yesterday, a friend and I considered that winters in this part of Arkansas are colder than when I was a kid. While I don’t have the data to back it up, anecdotally, the winter trend is towards colder norms rather than warmer norms. Four years ago was a record low (in my lifetime) at 12 below.
Regards,
FA in Arkansas
REPLY: We have a lot of weather data, and this entire claim of global warming and that humans are the cause of climate change is not only stupid, it is arrogant. There is no evidence of what these people claim. The English Court ruled against Al Gore and his movie that his climate film presented nine ‘errors’and was thus inappropriate. The climate zealots want to ignore that ruling and pretend it never happened.
Here is the data from New York City with records back to 1869. There is a normal climate cycle, and nothing shows any dramatic change in trends. We are headed into colder weather, and let us hope that the rise in volcanic activity does not produce one or two VE7 eruptions. Our computer warns that we are also at rise of a rise in volcanic activity. That can block the sun and result in a volcanic winter, so you should have food stashed for crops will fail during a volcanic winter, and people will starve.
There is a cycle to everything, including climate!
