Climate
scientist Dr. Willie Soon
has urged his
fellow academics
to pay closer
attention to the sun's activity,
which suggests
several decades of
global cooling
rather than warming...
Speaking this week
with Alex Newman of the New American, Willie Soon,
a Malaysian astrophysicist and aerospace engineer,
said that,
"what we
predict is that the next 20-30 years
will be cold.
It will be
cold, so it will be a very interesting thing for the IPCC
to confront."
The sun is in a
"weakened state" and far less active than during the 1980s and
1990s, Soon noted, which should last until "around 2050."
"The whole
climate system is powered 99.1 percent by the sun's energy," he
stated.
Soon, a researcher
at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the
Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said that
global cooling is a far greater source of concern than
global warming.
"We will have a
lot more problems were the planet to cool rather than warm,"
Soon insisted.
Humanity can solve
a lot of problems including overheating, but the problem of a
"little ice age" like that of the 1700s,
"those problems
are much harder to solve," he said.
"If you want to
face a serious problem, worry about an ice age; never worry
about global warming," he declared.
Soon's warnings
dovetail with a report Wednesday
of billions of dollars of Chinese investment into elite American
universities to promote climate alarmism as,
"one of the
Chinese Communist Party's chief weapons against the United
States of America."
The report by
Jay Lehr and Tom Harris cites a 2019
letter from the general counsel of the U.S. Department of
Education stating that the government had uncovered $6.5 billion in
undeclared university funding, most of which came from China, in an
attempt to,
"project 'soft
power,' steal sensitive and proprietary research and development
data and other intellectual property, and spread propaganda
benefitting foreign governments."
"It makes
perfect sense that the Chinese Communists are manipulating fears
of a climate catastrophe to its advantage," the Lehr-Harris
report noted.
"The CCP wants
the U.S. and other nations to pass laws making energy and
manufacturing more expensive while they expand their economy,
take our industries and our jobs and do so with little regard
for the environment or human rights."
"It is a
strategic geopolitical tool used by China and other nations that
want to weaken America, and the 'freedoms' we enjoy," it said.
