Sac has a great thread on farming tips during the Solar Minimum that we're plunging into, here: https://offthegridforum.com/index.php?threads/farming-tips-for-the-solar-minimum.32/
I had been meaning to start a thread on "tracking the changes" as we enter the next minimum. Whether it's like the Maunder minimum or the lesser Dalton minimum is unknown, but what we do know is that far northern and far southern growing areas are going to be offline for a couple of decades, leading to greatly increased food prices due to a shortened supply. What the climate is a couple of states north of you is going to be your climate. It's going to have a significant effect on all of us!
Essentially, we're looking at greatly decreasing sunspot activity, which cools the earth, tends to set off volcanoes and earthquakes, and leads to crop failures globally.
Thus, this thread. Let's track this thing.
A couple of great YouTube channels:
Adapt2030 - Monitoring and Tracking the Minimum
Suspicious0bservers - A great channel with material on solar minimum and space weather effects on earth
A great interview with Adapt 2030 and John Casey on the Grand Solar Minimum we're approaching:
A great interview with Ben Davidson of Suspicious0bservers. I know nothing about the producer "Guns and Butter." But Ben is spot on, and this interview goes into the weakening magnetosphere, the solar minimum, and the effects of them such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and food production.
Around here, we had much colder temperatures for much longer than usual. We had less precip, which is concerning.
We've had incessant winds, too. Far more windy days and stronger winds than usual. Could be due to changing jet stream patterns.
