With 2019 being the hottest summer in Alaska's history, and this year Texas freezing over, the evidence for climate change being real is getting hard to ignore.

Wait, what happened to global warming?

The most notable event of XX century's life of the Sun has been an irregularly high level and a century-long growth of the solar radiation flux (the TSI). A similar increase of the solar radiation flux as in XX century has not been observed for more than 700 years. However, its effect ? the observed global warming ? is not an abnormal, but a regular and natural event for the Earth. The climate of the Earth have always been periodically changing and our planet have already experienced several global warmings, similar to the one we observe. The global warmings have always been followed by deep coolings within regular 2-century cycles. Neither a deep cooling nor a global warming cannot last longer than they are permitted by the corresponding 2-century variations of the size and luminosity of the Sun.

The observed global warming of XI–XIII centuries within the period of a long-term increase in the TSI and sunspot activity, called "a Little Climatic Optimum", which is similar to the observed global warming or even more intensive, caused serious climate changes. In the middle ages vineyards were cultivated in Scotland, Greenland justified its name and was inhabited by Normans in the end of X – beginning of XI century. Europe enjoyed an economic growth which gave rise to Renaissance, middle Asia went through the best period in its history. The last global decrease of temperature (the most cold phase of the Little Ice Age) was observed not only in Europe, North America and Greenland, but also in any other part of the world during the Maunder minimum of sunspot activity and of the total solar irradiance in 1645–1715 years. All channels in the Netherlands were frozen, glaciers were taking over the Greenland and people were forced to leave their settlements, inhabited for several centuries. The Thames river in London and Seine in Paris were frozen over every year. The humanity has always been prospering during the warm periods and suffering during the cold ones. The climate has never been and will never be stable.

February 1895
Coldest temperature: 10° on 2/8
Nights at or below freezing: 12 over the course of 2 weeks

February 1895 was a memorable cold snap, with 4 daily records still standing today. But what set 1895 apart for Houston was our greatest snowstorm of 20 inches, which we conveniently wrote about back in 2017!
