It was only thirty years ago that the concern among environmentalists was global cooling, with predictions of a New Ice Age descending upon us within the next century. Billions of people were expected to starve due to shrinking arable lands, and shorelines would recede, destroying pristine estuaries and other wetlands. However, this alarming movement dissipated under overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, leading environmentalists to shift their focus to global warming instead.

Thirty years ago, the environmental concern was global cooling, with predictions of a new ice age looming within the next century. It was feared that wooly mammoths would return, billions would starve due to shrinking arable lands, and shorelines would recede, destroying pristine estuaries and wetlands. Drastic government intervention was deemed necessary to avert this threat to all life on the planet. However, this alarmist movement dissolved under overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, leading environmentalists to shift their focus to global warming as the new narrative to achieve their political ends.

Despite the claims of global warming proponents, recent data indicate that the earth has not experienced overall warming since 2001. Lord Christopher Monckton reported that temperatures have been plummeting at a rate equivalent to 11 Fahrenheit degrees per century over the past few years, suggesting the earth is cooling faster than it was warming. John L. Casey, Director of the Space and Science Research Center, has stated that global warming is over and a new cold climate has arrived, driven by a significant decrease in solar activity. Casey notes that the solar wind is at its lowest level in fifty years, surface movement on the sun has slowed to record rates, and the prolonged lack of sunspots between solar cycles is about to set a one-hundred-year record. NASA forecasts that the upcoming solar cycle will be one of the weakest in centuries, pointing to a solar hibernation that could bring the coldest weather in over two centuries for several decades. However, these scientific observations are largely ignored by those pushing the global warming agenda, who have shifted their focus to climate change to maintain their push for legislation like cap and trade, despite nature's cooling trend.
