During a grand solar minimum?

Some people think everything they disagree with is propaganda.

Aimed at me or not, that's dismissive of free-thinkers as well as the power of propaganda.

The solar minimum has to do with sunspot activity, not the output on the electromagnetic spectrum. The sun puts out more power during the solar minimum than the solar maximum. The phenomenon is poorly named.

Actually, it's all electromagnetic-related...

 

Solar minimum is the period of least solar activity in the 11-year solar cycle of the Sun. During this time, sunspot and solar flare activity diminishes, and often does not occur for days at a time. The date of the minimum is described by a smoothed average over 12 months of sunspot activity, so identifying the date of the solar minimum usually can only happen 6 months after the minimum takes place. Solar minimum is contrasted with the solar maximum, when hundreds of sunspots may occur.

Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. Sunspots usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity. Their number varies according to the approximately 11-year solar cycle.

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot

 

A solar flare is a sudden flash of increased brightness on the Sun, usually observed near its surface and in close proximity to a sunspot group. [...]

[...] Although originally observed in the visible electromagnetic spectrum, especially in the Hα emission line of hydrogen, they can now be detected from radio waves to gamma-rays.

Flares are closely associated with the ejection of plasmas and particles through the Sun's corona into outer space; flares also copiously emit radio waves. [...] High-energy particles, which may be relativistic, can arrive almost simultaneously with the electromagnetic radiations.

That's just scientism. We're talking about real science here Jason.

Change my mind. I see no citations, links, sources, etc. I read the OP who is "no astronomer" and has his observational testimony along with unverifiable hearsay, from a week old SaidIt user who could have been on drugs for all we know. They seem rational, but to your comment, I see no "real science here" - I just see hypothesizing.

Yeah you want me to condense thousands of papers' worth of knowledge about astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, anthropology, paleomagnetism, geology, meteorology and a dozen other fields for your quick and easy perusal. It isn't going to happen.

But luckily for us both, Ben Davidson has already done all that work. Go ahead and LEARN SOMETHING from the channel Node linked you.

Or just take my very very condensed version of it: We have an Extinction Level Event during our lifetime. All that agenda 2030 crap is just more distraction to keep you busy so you miss the big picture.

You're being disingenuous and hyperdramatic. Just explain in a sentence or few with a link or few. If this is so obvious then I'm sure someone somewhere has encapsulated it in a good nutshell or few worth digesting.

But luckily for us both, Ben Davidson has already done all that work. Go ahead and LEARN SOMETHING from the channel Node linked you.

As I stated, I'm already subscribed and have shared some on SaidIt over the last few years. He doesn't nutshell much, nor am I fully clear what the future holds according to him, nor is he crystal clear either.

Or just take my very very condensed version of it: We have an Extinction Level Event during our lifetime.

That's certainly possible and plausible on many fronts. You've condensed it, but aren't at all clear.

All that agenda 2030 crap is just more distraction to keep you busy so you miss the big picture.

As a good truth-seeking skeptic, I'm open to this possibility. But I need more to go on to even understand your stance, much less decide how much credence I want to give it.
