The Critical Importance of Solar Cycles - by Stephen Wilde | Solar Cycle 25
This site looks ahead to Cycle 25 because by the time it begins in the 2020s the climate effect of changes in solar activity will be clear to all. Modern and future sensing techniques will leave little room for doubts.

Indeed it may well be that by then and if the current trend in solar activity continues then we will be seeing significant global cooling which will render our current concerns laughable if we were not to be already crying as a result of the misguided energy policy changes put into effect from fear of CO2.

CO2 the beneficial gas must be distinguished from the harmful carbon particulates produced by fuel burning. The latter can be dealt with relatively easily. The former cannot be affected (if at all) without horrendous worldwide economic and social consequences which may well be all for nought.
EPA Suppresses Information Critical of Global Warming | All American Blogger
The bottom line, as many of us who have followed this issue well know, is that “global warming” is much more a political issue than a scientific one. True science does not support the conclusions drawn and supported by global warming pundits. The issue of global warming however, has been used to support policies which rapidly advance centralized control of energy industries by governments. Energy accounts for a large percentage of GDP – what better place for a government to expand not only its reach of power but its ability to redistribute capital as it sees fit. There are mechanisms in cap and trade which allow for the punishment of political enemies as well as the rewarding of political allies simply by deciding who gets offsets and how much. Unsurprisingly, the very organization that suppressed the information critical of the reason behind the bill will become the overseer of the bill’s carbon offset program.
[Evidently insane] TERI chief says Indian Army's biggest enemy is climate change
New Delhi, June 28 (ANI/ Business Wire India): Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Director General of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has warned the Indian Army that climate change could prove to be their biggest enemy, as melting snow could open a new passage for terrorists.

"Climate change poses new threats to India. Melting snows in the north open up passages for terrorists, just as melting glaciers affect water supply in the subcontinent's northern part, sharpening possibility of conflict with our neighbours. Changing rainfall patterns affect rain fed agriculture, worsening poverty which can be exploited by others," Dr. Pachauri said while delivering the keynote address at the convocation ceremony at the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering, Mhow.

He cautioned that climate change might force millions of 'climate refugees' across India's border, posing a new challenge to nations armed forces.

"Our defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding our borders against climate refugees, as rising sea-levels swamp low-lying areas, forcing millions of 'climate refugees' across India's border," he added.
