It will be extremely interesting to me if cooling begins to happen on a global scale. It could very well be that we have shifted the world hotter, so this time the cooling is less and the next warming cycle is hotter. But if we have a decade(s) of global cooling trust in our scientists and institutions will be so absolutely, impossibly damaged that the commentary will be very interesting to observe objectively.
- chrisco255 7y agoI wouldn't suppose that the cooling will be any less. Heat dissipates very quickly in the atmosphere. CO2 can't store heat but for microseconds at a time. The oceans, well they can store heat for much longer periods and that's why the Multi-decadal oscillations occur. The massive heat content of the oceans shift climate systems in dramatic ways. But in the event of a Multi-decadal decline in solar energy and shift in oceanic oscillations, CO2 is powerless to stop that effect.
