“Many paleoclimatologists, archeologists, and historians agree that there is a correspondence between the level of solar activity and climate. They also agree that humans do better in warmer times than in colder times. It is time for the “consensus” to face up to the historical and archeological facts.”

Very shocking, climate is variable over the years and it is mostly caused by Sol’s variability.  And people can grow more food in warmer times and live easier.

      No wonder you read Speculative Fiction. You lack
apparently the "lobes" for science and wish to push the blame
off on Sol Invitus.

     As as person who prizes the work done by the real climate
scientist i find your argument absurd. And your estimate of the
time the planet has been warming ridiculous. The Earth has been
warming since the last Ice Age.
     Crabs, lobsters and other sea food do very well with
sea water until it is heated to boiling.  You do not even have
to heat the coral near boiling and the coral is dying. Sea mammals
like Whales are suffering from nutritional insufficiency because
the food they depend on is dying.
      Humans can handle a bit of warmth though personally
beyond 70 degrees F makes me very uncomfortable but in areas
that have been hot but not too hot for humans people are dying
from the heat. Certain crops will not grow well in higher heat.
The soil where not flooded and being washed away is drying out.
      So I believe that human activity has contributed to the
release of gases which prevent the atmosphere from cooling
properly. Among those are Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
      When the glaciers of California or anywhere else
start growing again I would if then alive proclaim
victory over the Climate Crisis present and impending.

I have quite a bit of experience running forced flow and natural flow reactors.  Sol acts exactly like a natural flow reactor with both short and long cycles of variability.
BTW, come over here to southern central Texas (Houston area).  I have seen 113 F here on Labor Day weekend of 1999.  I have also seen 6 F here on Christmas Eve of 1989.  In all cases the humidity is quite high (40% to 95%) sine we only are 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, the world's biggest hot tub.
However it is rare for us to go above 105 F or below 20 F.  We air condition everything including our football and baseball stadiums.
Sorry about your bad ankle.  My 86 year old father now has a bad knee since he got run into by an idiot lady at a gas station on Monday while walking in to get his receipt.
