Sell your sailplane before 2030

Unless you have ridge or wave nearby.
A huge reduction in solar output is predicted to occur by then.

I think you may finde that it is all driven by the sun.

nah, i think i'll just keep trying anyway.

Thankfully, they mean sunspot activity, not heat output, though the lack of sunspots will likely cause some noticeable weather changes.

If things do get worse, then hopefully by 2030 we'll have got better at scratching around in weak conditions, so we'll be sorted.

You mean climate change is real??? And this one's got nothing to do with
AG driving his 20 SUV's around. Maybe he can buy all those carbon
credits back that he sold to some really really stupid people.

There may well be a connection: the Maunder Minimum, when there were very
few sunspots from 1645 to about 1715, coincided with the middle part of
the Little Ice Age (1350 to about 1850), during which Europe and North
America experienced very cold winters. However, as AFAIK there was no
good understanding of either IR or UV radiation during the Maunder
Minimum nor any reliable means of measuring the amount of solar energy
reaching the Earth, any association between the two events is at best
supposition, but should it happen again we are now well enough
instrumented to discover what, if any, mechanism connects the two.

If things do get worse, then hopefully by 2030 we'll have got better at
scratching around in weak conditions, so we'll be sorted.

Could be a problem if reduced solar energy stabilises the atmosphere. But
that seems unlikely, simply because I've never seen any reports of a
large drop in the population of raptors and other land-based soaring
birds during the Maunder Minimum. If soaring had gotten difficult then,
I'd have expected it to have affected birds that find food by soaring.

If anyone wants to dump a new condition Arcus I'll give you $10K for it....you deliver of course!!

Better look after that turbo David, it might come in handy when the rest of us can't stay up anymore

Surely having wingtips in two different time-zones will help you too, Colin :-)
