Earth is currently experiencing a "cosmic (gamma) ray maximum". Factoring in the increased water vapour nucleation this will cause, resulting in increased cloud cover, and increased and larger volcanic eruptions, putting more aerosols and dust in the upper atmosphere, I agree the cooling could be much deeper. I noted in yesterday's radio interview of Zharkova, she mentioned current investment in Africa to grow vegetable and grain exports to Europe and North America, based on the premise that the coming cooling is upon us. China has been buying and planting agricultural land in Africa for some time now, shipping produce and grains back to China, no doubt because they are aware that no Chinese dynasty has survived a cool period, and hope to survive by shipping food back to China. This thread should also consider discussing how this will impact economies, stock markets, investment and disinvestment etc. This certainly appears to be a slow motion black swan that will at best, be very very disruptive. There are also geopolitical implications, and an increased chance of a major war.

I'm going to remind once again that these are "solar only" data points. I noted that from Zharkova's paper.. HOWEVER, it's STILL plausible that the magnetic field changes we're seeing on Earth, as well as the Sun, are both due to Jovian planetary positions that we don't yet have a grasp of. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the relative closeness of Jupiter this time around, is having an impact on Earth's magnetic field as well, pushing it across the poles into Siberia towards a potential excursion/reversal. We'd have to see some computer modeling of historical planetary positions going back to 1850 when the Earth's magnetic field starting decreasing dramatically. And could we go back 780,000 years in planetary modeling to compare potential positions to the last reversal? Either way, and chicken or egg arguments aside, the paper provides a peer-reviewed assessment that we're on the verge of a multi-decade GSM that we're not even remotely prepared for. Hawk
