All kidding aside, we do live in the Pleistocene geological age having significant cold periods every 40,000 to 100,000 years, lasting between 7,500 to10,000 years. As part of the last period, we had the last ice age ending about 9,000 years ago.

Since then, we had periodic cooling periods (such as the agricultural disaster in the 1700s called the Little Ice Age. This cooling period started about 7,500 years ago reaching a low temperature of 0.5 Celsius (below freezing).

This followed warming periods such as 1000 A.D. when the Vikings farmed Greenland and before that during the Dark Ages circa 500 A.D. Thereafter, it got cold again (see above) where only recently the average temperatures went up again. Even if a cold period is near, man-made global warming will protect us.

On a more serious subject, and according to a Wall Street Journal article of August 1, 2022, we are facing a global energy crisis due to misguided environmental policies. The war in Ukraine only served as a trigger point to allowing to turn a crisis into a global disaster, following two decades of green energy policies such as neglecting nuclear power, closing coal mines and restricting oil production, all the while providing insufficient power plants. The inevitable result is a crisis in Europe (having been a Green leader).

The U.K., for instance, faces a wave of business closures for lack of energy. It is estimated, that close to 100,000 firms might face insolvencies.

Giving subsidies to people to help face their heating bills will only increase the national debt and further debase the value of the British pound.

Let's all learn from this.

On to good news: I just learned the polar bears, thought to be extinct due to lack of ice floats in the Arctic, have increased in numbers from about 7,000 in 1973 to about 40,000 today.

All the best to you.
