So now the administration that is all about science had better take notice. The disaster that is Texas and the other central states can almost be blamed on Al Gore, AOC and the other Green New Deal science deniers.
After being left with the best energy position of any recent outgoing administration, they don't have enough energy to keep people warm because too much emphasis has been placed on renewables, and it is not going to get better by itself.
Sure you can blame it on a polar vortex that broke apart and moved south, but there is more to come. We entered into a Grand Solar Minimum in 2020 and there have been many science articles explaining, describing, and warning of what a solar minimum is, but our political house has been asleep with their own fears of global warming.
They blamed and are blaming global warming on carbon dioxide which has little or nothing to do with the climate, nor "greenness" of the planet. In fact seventh grade science teaches us that there is an oxygen, carbon-dioxide cycle that has been occurring since the beginning of time. Living animals use oxygen and give off carbon-dioxide. Plants use carbon-dioxide and give off oxygen. Nurserymen pump carbon-dioxide into their green houses to make plants grow better and become greener. The more carbon-dioxide we have on the earth, the greener it is.
In a solar minimum there are less sunspots on the sun, and close to none now. Sunspots cause the sun to give off more energy. The sun is now giving off less energy.
There are two more kinds of events that occur regularly just as the pandemics that government should prepare for: Volcanic eruptions such as the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1816 which caused an almost entire year of winter. An eruption on that scale would block out the sun and all solar electric panels would be useless as they are now for the entire year. We now have many eruptions that could send particles into the atmosphere keeping the solar minimum diminished solar energy to a lower level. Those volcanic eruptions can increase.
We could also have a Tunguska event. The Tunguska event was the largest meteor impact in history. It occurred in 1908 and also caused a cloud of debris to cover the earth which also lowered the amount of sunlight that reached the earth.
As in our current winter, carbon based energy, such as natural gas, oil and gasoline are our best defense against these kinds of disasters, and they keep our green plants growing, producing food.
