Albedo:

Earth’s atmosphere is constantly working to balance Earth’s “Energy Budget” – the amount of shortwave radiation energy from the Sun entering Earth’s atmosphere versus the amount of longwave (infrared or thermal) radiation energy reflected back into space. Earth’s “albedo,” the fraction of sunlight reflected back into space, reduces the amount of radiation that reaches the surface of Earth. NASA has, since year 2000, observed a decrease in the Earth’s albedo due to reduced global cloud cover.

Radiative Forcing:

An imbalance in the Earth’s “Energy Budget” is called “Radiative Forcing” or “Solar Forcing.” From about 1950 through 1980 there was evidence for a widespread decline (called “dimming”) of surface solar radiation (hence the “global cooling” warnings of the 1970s) followed thereafter by a partial recovery (called “brightening”) of surface solar radiation (hence the “global warming” warnings since 1980).

A New Study

Ned Nikolov, a physical scientist, and researcher affiliated with Colorado State University, and Karl Zeller, a retired U.S. Forest Service meteorologist published a study on August 20, 2024 that finds that recent warming is not the result of increasing CO2. After analyzing satellite data, the two researchers postulate that the Earth has warmed because it has been absorbing more sunlight because of reduced cloud cover.

The two researchers have called for large-scale interdisciplinary research into the physical mechanisms controlling the earth’s albedo (energy imbalance) and cloud physics, insisting that they are the real drivers of climate on multi-decadal time scales.

Stay Tuned

Are these researchers correct? If so, how many trillions of dollars have been spent globally on climate studies, their politicization, the attempted global destruction of the fossil fuel industry, and associated CO2 sequestration? Will there be any accountability for the globalist Klause Schwab, his World Economic Forum, or the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) if these researchers are correct and Anthropogenic (caused by humans) Global Climate Change is a myth?

Could Volcanic Activity cause another “Little Ice Age”

The Late Antique Little Ice Age was caused by a series of volcanic eruptions in 536 AD, 540 AD, and 547 AD that threw large ash clouds into the stratosphere, causing the sun to appear dark. That period of global cooling lasted until 660 AD (about 120 years) in western Europe and until 680 AD (about 140 years) in Central Asia. Study suggested a global cooling of 2 degrees Centigrade (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) during that time frame.

What About the Future of Electric Vehicles?

If reduced global cloud cover is proven to drive global warming, who will want to drive Electric vehicles that weigh enough to cause extremely rapid tire wear, and whose replacement battery cost could send your child to college for a year? And will we ever trust government to perform due diligence and avoid its next global hoax?
