Thank you for your comment, I deeply appreciate your openness for other people's opinion and I am surely interested to hear your thoughts about it.

I am absolutely convinced that the cycles in the sun activity have undoubted influence on the earth's climate. Many previous climatic changes have been exactly correlated to those changes. It is indeed true, that the sun is decreasing in activity and that, according to these cycles, we would enter a cooler climate again. But the thing is that current trends in mean global temperature cannot be explained by the solar activity. There is an interesting study about this where they address the opposite trends between solar trends and global air temperature. here is a link to that article.

So other forcings must be at play in order to explain current measured global trends. But then why do you think that we will still head towards a cold period?

And indeed depending on the expected future, different strategies will be best. While living off-grid is not necessarily ideal for the future I foresee, being independent and not relying on other large corporations is a lifestyle I can only endorse!
