🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷That was quick: Trump calls off Iran strikes hours after threatening them

Just hours after promising massive strikes on Iran and even talking about taking Kharg Island, Donald Trump announced that the operation had been canceled because negotiations had reached Iran's top leadership.

According to Trump, the broad outlines of an agreement have already been approved by all parties involved, while the US naval blockade will remain in place until the deal is finalized.

There is no climate emergency. There are warming cycles roughly every 1,000 years, corresponding to the Eddy/ Halstatt Solar Cycle of 980-1,000 years.

How Solar Cycles explain climate change

THE LITTLE ICE AGE

The real reason why climate has been warming of recent is entirely natural: it is because we are still emerging from The Little Ice Age. See painting of a frozen over Thames by Graham Turner. In the winter of 1683/84, the ice was almost a foot thick and the Thames remained frozen for weeks. Boats were fitted with skates and stalls set up with food, shops and games. The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of significant regional cooling, particularly in Europe, characterized by harsh winters, and expanded glaciers. Winter temperatures in Europe dropped as much as 2°C below modern averages.

The event lasted from roughly 1300 to 1850, spanning nearly 500 years. It is generally divided into phases: an initial cooling around 1300, a slightly warmer period in the 1500s, and the coldest interval between 1645 and 1715 (known as the Maunder Minimum). The LIA was primarily triggered by the Grand Solar Minima, which caused reduced solar irradiance, and therefore cooling. We are still emerging from the Little Ice Age, and that is the only reason some areas are warmer than centuries ago.

This has very little to do with CO2 and everything to do with the Sun. To put it simply, both the activity of the Sun and the Sun-Earth distance changes, and this modulates the amount of both solar irradiance and solar radiation, which affects clouds, and this combined change is what leads to long term changes in climatic temperatures. It's definitely not CO2 causing any of this.

There is nothing unusual about the recent "global warming". It is what happens in all warming cycles, and not dissimilar to the initial warming after the Little Ice Age, which we are still emerging from today, and that is why we are in a warming trend, not "CO2".
