And we are overdue for the onset of a new Ice Age....
That's worse news than any news that we are warming up.
Although I think that we have been in a Global Warming streak over a couple of decades (not "Anthropogenic Global Warming, however...), I believe that we're going to see a decade or more of colder winters (and perhaps cooler summers) which is not necessarily good news, but "it happens"... regardless.
After that we'll probably go into a swing back up to Global Warming again.
I say that on the basis of the low sunspot activity that we've had and how that affects the climate (you can see it in the video documentary above).
You'll also note that other scientists have attributes some climate changes to the ocean currents, and that could very well have an additional effect, along with the sunspot activity.
The other article above also notes the effects of volcanoes on the planet's weather systems. Those are all factors -- and none of them are factors related to the human beings on this planet.
Thanks for pinging me to the thread, and that other FReeper article you linked to is good. Thanks for that.
Not to worry! We can just follow Jimmy Carter's advice and put on a sweater.
