Grand Solar Minimum Climate Change Round Table Discussion Lesson

With the Oregon School Board stating it has no strategy for revising it's "Climate Justice" curriculum, and writes in Oregon School Board RESOLUTION No. 5272 that all discussions are welcome to form a Resolution to Develop an Implementation Plan for Climate Literacy. Hijacked by the global warming, anti-business, 15th century dogmatic book banning lobby, which includes heretical phrases such as "May, Might, Could" in the role of our Sun as driver for Earth's climate. I offer this Round Table Lesson on other causes for climate change on our planet for discussion in all Oregon School Classrooms. Topic includes what should happen to Earth's climate based on past climate records in cycles such as sunspots, oceanic cycles, and also rotation around the sun cycles.
