Good News? Bad News?

I have been struggling to get my mind around the “happening” of Climate Change. See, I am even getting the words right. We used to call it “global warming,” because Algore has finally convinced us that we are all going to burn up in the coming years. I am almost to belief, considering the fact that the temperature outside is over 100 degrees.

Then, all of a sudden, I am back in the conundrum. I just can’t get my mind settled.

Might want to start stockpiling those down jackets: The sun could nod off by 2030, triggering what scientists are describing as a “mini ice age.” Professor Vlentina Zharkova of Northumbira University presented the frigid findings at the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales. Modern technology has made us able to predict solar cycles with much greater accuracy, and Zharkova’s model predicts that solar activity will drop by more than half between 2030 and 2040. We predict that this will lead to the properties of a ‘Maunder minimum‘,” said Zharkova. The Maunder Minimum is the title given to periods of time when sunspots are rare. It last occurred between 1645 and 1715, when roughly 50 sunspots were recorded, as opposed to the standard 40,000. That time was marked by brutal, river-freezing temperatures in Europe and North America. (Huffington Post)

Just when I was getting ready to purchase my beach attire, it look like I will need a new Parka. I don’t know whether to buy more air conditioning for my cabin in the woods, or invest in a bigger wood stove.

I suppose I could just believe God – you know, the One who said we will always have Summer and Winter, Springtime and Harvest. But then, all I would have is PEACE.
