Russian scientist predicts global cooling

MOSCOW, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A Russian scientist predicts a period of global cooling in coming decades, followed by a warmer interval.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov expects a repeat of the period known as the Little Ice Age. During the 16th century, the Baltic Sea froze so hard that hotels were built on the ice for people crossing the sea in coaches.

The Little Ice Age is believed to have contributed to the end of the Norse colony in Greenland, which was founded during an interval of much warmer weather.

Abdusamatov and his colleagues at the Russian Academy of Sciences astronomical observatory said the prediction is based on measurement of solar emissions, Novosti reported. They expect the cooling to begin within a few years and to reach its peak between 2055 and 2060.

"The Kyoto initiatives to save the planet from the greenhouse effect should be put off until better times," he said. "The global temperature maximum has been reached on Earth, and Earth's global temperature will decline to a climatic minimum even without the Kyoto protocol."

Why is reducing CO2 a good thing?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I knew it! Those darned Vikings in their gas-guzzling ships started the Little Ice Age!

[AmericaUnited]

Reducing CO2 is surely something good

You're obviously not a vegetarian. Or for that matter a meat eater (since many animals eat plants), or for that matter a thinker...

[EQAndyBuzz]

Putin's Fault!

[marvlus]

Increasing CO2 is good for plants. Plants are what we eat. Don't you like plants?

Increasing plants is good for animals. Animals are what we eat. Don't you like animals?

Ah - I knew it, Global warming and PETA are related!!

"The Kyoto initiatives to save the planet from the greenhouse effect should be put off until better times,"

Definitely!

Global Cooling! Yikes. I already live where it is far too cold. Its all AlGore's fault.

I guess parkas will be in year round.

yes...its a rerun of the That 70s Show! :)

Algore is even more a communist than the communists.

Reducing CO2 is surely something good.

Why would you want to do that? We are near the lowest CO2 levels in the history of the planet.

Where did this chart come from ?

Hang on. I've got to find the link.

Say, where are all of those devastating hurricanes that were predicted?

The lack of devastating hurricanes is yet another sign of global warming!

I went in China some month ago, and in many big cities pollution, due to CO2 (and other chemical substances), is really unbearable.

A co-worker was born there and moved here as a child in the 90s. She went back to her parent's village a year ago and was aghast at the pollution.

It sounded like all the vile stuff we got rid of years ago, soot, particulate, etc.

And not just the air, industrial waste, sewage, etc was all dumped in the rivers.

No kidding.

After this horribly hot summer, Texans can't wait for the Little Ice Age to commence.
