Description:
Dr. Valentina Zharkova returns to share her findings, expertise, professional history as well as the way Solar Cycles operate and the science associated with them. Dr. Zharkova is the Emeritus Professor at North Umbria Newcastle and the owner and principal investigator at solargsm.com where she publishes scientific papers, media interviews and articles. She has a Phd in Applied Mathematics, in Astrophysics, in the area of Radiative Transfer and she leads critical investigations into energy particles and solar flares. There are few people on the planet with her extensive whole systems expertise in terms of what's really happening with the sun and the climate.
In this current interview, Kim addresses the fierce opposition Dr. Zharkova faces, including what factors she used to get the data that she amassed. You may be shocked to find out the bias of AI ecosystems and what they are specifically putting out. Kim asks Dr. Zharkova specifically to address what GROK says about The Grand Solar Minimum and about her work. She is one of the very few people on earth with the training and expertise to put together disciplines which are missing and ignored as part of Solar Science and Planetary Cycles related to both Cooling and Warming.
If in fact, more people would receive what she says, preparations for life on earth will be very different than anything we have ever heard before. Turn into the earlier interview Kim did with Dr. Zharkova in 2023 called The Elephant in The Climate Change Space.You will find out that what you are preparing for regarding warming is not only not happening but, information is being censored to prevent you from preparing for this specific Solar Cycle. Don’t miss this briefing update with the Copernicus of the modern day.

Key Points:
2015 Prediction Confirmed
• In 2015 she and her team predicted a 60% drop in solar activity starting ~2020, leading to a Grand Solar Minimum similar to the Maunder Minimum (1645–1715).
• This was derived from direct observations of the Sun’s solar background magnetic field (poloidal field) using principal component analysis — not modeling.
• The prediction is now unfolding exactly as forecast: solar cycle 25 is weaker than expected, and activity is already declining rapidly after 2024–2025.
Distinction: Sunspots vs. Background Magnetic Field
• Critics point to relatively high sunspot numbers in cycle 25 to discredit her.
• Zharkova explains: sunspots are produced by strong toroidal magnetic loops; the underlying poloidal (background) field is dramatically weakening → fewer flares, less overall solar output, even if sunspot count temporarily rises.
Natural Causes of Recent Warming
• Recent warming (especially in the Northern Hemisphere) is largely caused by Solar Inertial Motion(the Sun wobbling around the solar system’s barycenter due to gravitational pull of giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
• Using NASA’s own ephemerides data, she shows the Sun has moved closer to Earth in recent decades, increasing solar irradiance reaching the Northern Hemisphere by ~12 W/m² (far exceeding the ~3 W/m² drop expected during the Grand Solar Minimum).
• This ~2,100–2,200-year Hallstatt cycle explains past warming/cooling episodes without any human CO₂ involvement.
CO₂ and Anthropogenic Global Warming
• CO₂ increase lags temperature rise in ice-core and modern data (consequence, not cause).
• CO₂ contribution to greenhouse effect is already saturated; additional CO₂ has negligible warming effect.
• Human CO₂ is only ~4% of total; natural sources dominate.
Suppression and Censorship
• Her 2019 paper on solar inertial motion was retracted from Scientific Reports under pressure despite being correct.
• Google and AI systems (including early Grok versions) were reprogrammed after 2018 to downplay or misrepresent her work.
• Funding, careers, and reputations of dissenting scientists are systematically attacked.
What to Expect in the Coming Grand Solar Minimum
• Rapid cooling will become unmistakable after 2026–2028 as solar activity plummets.
• Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Canada, northern US) will be hit hardest (historical precedent: Maunder Minimum).
• Increased cloud cover, early/late snow, crop failures, energy grid strain/failures expected.
• Renewable energy (solar panels, wind) will drastically underperform in cold, cloudy, low-wind conditions.
• Blackouts, food shortages, and heating crises are likely as modern centralized systems are not designed for prolonged deep cold.
Practical Preparation Advice
• Stock non-perishable food (25-year shelf-life packs), alternative heating (wood/propane/kerosene stoves), cash, portable generators, independent water sources.
• Urban apartment dwellers are especially vulnerable (no heating, no water, no flushing toilets during prolonged grid failure).
• Return to decentralized, resilient living (gardens, local food, off-grid heat).
Broader Perspective
• Zharkova views the anthropogenic global warming narrative as scientifically flawed and politically/economically motivated.
• Sees the coming cold period as nature’s way of exposing the dogma — “We will need heating because it will be so cold.”
