Solar Cycle 25 has arrived and Solar Cycle 24 was officially the 4th-smallest intensity since regular record-keeping began with Solar Cycle 1 in 1755. It was also the weakest cycle in 100 years. But was Solar Cycle 19 the one which sealed our fate on this planet?

September 15, 2020 - The solar minimum between Solar Cycle 24 and 25 - the period when the sun is least active - happened in December 2019, when the 13-month smoothed sunspot number fell to 1.8, according to the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, co-chaired by NOAA and NASA. We are now in Solar Cycle 25 with peak sunspot activity expected in 2025, the panel said.

Solar Cycle 24 was average in length, at 11 years, and had the 4th-smallest intensity since regular record-keeping began with Solar Cycle 1 in 1755. It was also the weakest cycle in 100 years. Solar maximum occurred in April 2014 with sunspots peaking at 114 for the solar cycle, well below average, which is 179.

Solar Cycle 24’s progression was unusual. The Sun’s Northern Hemisphere led the sunspot cycle, peaking over two years ahead of the Southern Hemisphere sunspot peak. This resulted in solar maximum having fewer sunspots than if the two hemispheres were in phase.

Solar Cycle 25
For the past eight months, activity on the sun has steadily increased, indicating we transitioned to Solar Cycle 25. Solar Cycle 25 is forecast to be a fairly weak cycle, the same strength as cycle 24. Solar maximum is expected in July 2025, with a peak of 115 sunspots.

“How quickly solar activity rises is an indicator on how strong the solar cycle will be,” said Doug Biesecker, Ph.D., panel co-chair and a solar physicist at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center. “Although we’ve seen a steady increase in sunspot activity this year, it is slow.”

The panel has high confidence that Solar Cycle 25 will break the trend of weakening solar activity seen over the past four cycles. “We predict the decline in solar cycle amplitude, seen from cycles 21 through 24, has come to an end,” said Lisa Upton, Ph.D., panel co-chair and a solar physicist with Space Systems Research Corp. “There is no indication we are approaching a Maunder-type minimum in solar activity.”

“While we are not predicting a particularly active Solar Cycle 25, violent eruptions from the Sun can occur at any time,” Biesecker added.

Solar cycle prediction gives a rough idea of the frequency of space weather storms of all types, from radio blackouts to geomagnetic storms and solar radiation storms. It is used by many industries to gauge the potential impact of space weather in the coming years.

What is really causing climate change?

Our climate is changing, no two ways about it, it's getting hotter but the paradox is, it's getting colder too and wetter, and dryer, however, the constant is, it's become more extreme. We are warned our use of CO2 is causing Global Warming, our use of Greenhouse gases is not sustainable and carbon dioxide is killing the planet but is that the case?

Something happened on the 24th and 25th of December 1957 which defies logic, defies physics. The story begins with a report from SAO/NASA data system (ADS). Thomas Cragg wrote:

During 1957, observations of the Sun were made at Mount Wilson Observatory in Washington on 310 days of that year. Not since 1941 have solar observations been possible on as few days in one year as in 1957. 

The total number of sunspot groups observed at Mount Wilson in 1957 was 855, the largest number ever observed in one year. The previous record was 633 in 1947.

SAO/NASA data system (ADS) claimed, "without question, we are witnessing the greatest sunspot activity ever recorded." SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

The period described above was solar cycle 19, the nineteenth solar cycle since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. Solar cycle 19 lasted 10.5 years, beginning in April 1954 and ending in October 1964. The number of sunspots witnessed on the Sun during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1957 (503), alarmed scientists so much at the time, that an International Geophysical Year was declared at the peak of this solar cycle to bring the Russian and US scientists onto the same page after the cold-war silence. Curiously, President Eisenhower went on to authorise the opening of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in July 1958. The Space Race Began. Two days after the United States announced its intention to launch an artificial satellite, on July 31, 1956, the Soviet Union announced its intention to do the same. Sputnik 1 was launched on October 4, 1957, beating the United States and stunning people all over the world. It was the year 1958, to be precise, when NASA first observed that changes in the solar orbit of the earth, along with alterations to the earth’s axial tilt, In the year 2000, NASA did publish information on its Earth Observatory website about the Milankovitch Climate Theory, revealing that the planet is, in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that have absolutely nothing to do with human activity. But this information has yet to go mainstream, see the report on Earth Observatory Coincidently, Milankovitch died in 1958. The maximum sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 503, on Christmas Eve and Day 1957 (the highest on record). Intense red aurora displays frightened people in Europe on 11 February 1958 and were visible from many US cities as far south as the 40th parallel. This geomagnetic storm caused a radio blackout over North America. Aurora displays were visible over New York on 13 November 1960 and 1 October 1961.

"Gigantic explosions on the sun"

So what does all this sunspot activity have to do with our use of CO2, which we are told is causing Global Warming, or, our use of Greenhouse gases which we are constantly being told ad nauseam, is not sustainable and carbon dioxide is killing the planet you may well ask? Could it be CO2 use, and indeed, geoengineering for that matter is just a sideshow imported by such organisations (NASA for example) to deflect and protect the public from an incredible unavoidable disaster waiting for all of us in the future. 

What if I was to prove to you something happened on the 24th and 25th of December 1957 which defies logic, defies physics and I have found incredible and irrefutable evidence that climate change is real and is undoubtedly linked to the Sun.

A fellow acquaintance wrote to me this morning asking, "Hello, Gary, I hope you are not done investigating yet." "For the record, the mathematical odds of the Earth changes that are occurring at this exact moment in the planets' 4.5 billion year history (in perfect synchronization with human activity) being caused by anything other than human activity, is a statistical zero." That is a good point but, if I were and tell you that is what exactly has happened and I am going to do my best to prove it to you--even as crazy as it may seem.

If you look at the graph below, the one titled Number Of Recorded Natural Disaster Events Since 1900, by Our World In Data. The graph shows a sudden spike in the early 60s and toward the end of the record-breaking Solar cycle 19. The spike is quite pronounced and is clear to see. Ladies and gentlemen, this same spike is to be seen on other graphs, major earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floods, cyclones natural disasters global temperature rise and...CO2 rise, all spiking after the record-breaking Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1957 solar activity!

What is really causing climate change? Our climate is changing, no two ways about it, it's getting hotter but the paradox is, it's getting colder too and wetter, and dryer, however, the constant is, it's become more extreme. We are warned our use of CO2 is causing Global Warming, our use of Greenhouse gases is not sustainable and carbon dioxide is killing the planet but is that the case?

Now for more graphs, below, you would expect this one to be similar to the one above and it is, a clear spike in 1965 leading to a massive increase of people affected by natural disasters.

Again below, a huge spike begins in 1964.

It is heat that causes a rise in CO2 levels, which in turn causes more heat, which causes more CO2 but the trigger is heating, which came from the incredible solar activity of sunspot cycle 19, which caused the initial warming followed by the rise in carbon dioxide, CO2, see the graph below.

No slow down in global warming! How can we stop the power of the Sun? We can't, try and cool down the planet? Geoengineering is not a weapon, it is man's futile and desperate attempt to stop the warming by spraying the skies and is a hopeless sideshow.

We cannot stop the wildfires in Australia, how will we stop the power of our Star? Our oceans are in a state of peril, coincidently, 1959 was the start of the demise of our fish stocks. It was reported by The Big Wobble at the end of last year: The enormity of the problem is hard to get one's head around: Untold millions of tons of wildlife died in 2019 from natural disasters, extreme weather events, disease, famine: Radiation officially reported. We have already been warned a couple of years ago that by 2020, there will be a 70% decline in all wildlife since 1980, 1980, was just 20 years after 1960. The number of species dying across the planet is unprecedented and I believe unstoppable.

And 1960 showed was the beginning of a huge spike in State-Based Conflicts.

And then 1960 was the beginning of a huge spike in nuclear warheads.

As well as a sharp spike in Nuclear testing.
MAJOR QUAKES HAD A HUGE SPIKE AT THE END OF THE FIFTIES!

Another video from Douglas Vogt's series, this one showing a sudden rise in sea and earth temperatures after Christmas Eve 1957.

So what's happening? Douglas Vogt believes the Sun will NOVA, causing a polar flip in or around 2045. A solar outburst, a micronova, a blast of solar wind so strong as to make the earth flip. According to the experts, these "flips" happen roughly every 12,000 years and, Douglas Vogt claims the next flip will happen in 2046. (End Times?)

Is man really melting the ice-caps? Is man causing the crippling droughts around the world, the record flooding, heat, cold and snow-fall? Or is it something much more powerful, our Sun? Does the stats given above show climate change began after Christmas 1957 and is continuing uninterrupted despite mankind's futile attempt to stop it?

I want to add some Bible text below, I really wanted to keep religion out the argument but my conscience won't let me so please indulge me.

King James Version (KJV) In Matthew 24, Jesus tells his disciples what to look for before His second coming. 

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Big clue here, heaven and earth will pass away!) 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.

I would like to offer a theory, I believe in Matthew 24, Jesus was referring to 1914: 1914, was the beginning of sorrows. You shall hear of wars (WWI and WWII) and rumours of wars, (The Cold War and now Iran). For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

A huge earthquake is mentioned many times in the Bible just before the Day Of The Lord and I always pondered on the size of such an earthquake, what force could produce something like this? What force could move every mountain and every island on our planet?

Is Revelation 6 describing what happened on December the 24th 1957?  (KJV) 

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and the name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The Sixth Seal A Great Earthquake

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (melting?)  13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of His wrath has come; and who shall be able to stand? (What is being described here? A magnetic flip from a micronova? or something even bigger?)

• The Bible says there will not be another worldwide flood. God promises Noah after he came out of the ark there would be no worldwide flood ever again. See Genesis 8:20-22. (A Micronova would cause another global flood) 
• The Bible part of this article is a theory of mine and nothing more: No one knows the time of the end, not even the Son  See Matthew 24:36-44. Those who claim to know therefore are to be ignored. See Matthew 24:3-8 and Matthew 24:23-28.
•  Is the data above proving the existence of a "God Clock," showing an increase in surface temperatures, CO2 levels, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floods, cyclones and natural disasters all appear to spike after Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1957, you would come to the conclusion then, of a Devine intervention, A "God Clock." which started ticking down in 1957.
