Some very good points concerning how a drastic Solar Induced Global Cooling Period might help prevent the Draconian Economic Controls many of the Global Socialists are now proposing. There is however one major overriding factor that will make the AGW crowd more or less obsolete rather quickly. If cooling continues and intensifies, Weather Driven Migrations will spark Regional Wars. My guess is the Chinese will make a move southward. They have over a Billion mouths to feed. Russia will also make a move south toward the Middle East and toward Western Europe. These moves could begin to occur within 2-3 Northern Hemisphere winters if cooling continues to worsen. In the short term the North Koreans may rush south for food. These are worse case scenarios, but scenarios that should be considered nonetheless.

Speaking of Russia and China.

Village in western Kamchatka stranded by heavy blizzard

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, February 14 (Itar-Tass) - The village of Oktyabrsky with a population of 3,000 in the western coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula was stranded from the outside world by a heavy blizzard. The traffic to the village was closed for all types of transport, Itar-Tass learnt from a man on duty at the Kamchatavtodor Company.

“There is zero visibility” on the highway, linking the village with the district centre of Ust-Bolsheretsk and the rest of the Kamchatka Territory, the source said. Wind gusts reach 30-35 metres per second. Similar weather conditions were registered in the Sea of Okhotsk, bordering Kamchatka, as well as in the southern tip of the peninsula.

The situation may deteriorate there over the next few hours, warned the Kamchatka weather centre. Wind gusts may reach a gale force of 40-45 metres per second. All appropriate services received warnings of stormy weather.

The south of Kamchatka is battered by a cyclone which approached from the Pacific. Gradual weather improvement is expected in the morning of February 15.

How is starvation any change for NK? The NK army would never let them leave ... though they might start a BBQ if things get bad enough.

BTW ... I said it before and I’ll say it again, it was the little ice age that helped to spawn all this socialist crappola so I’m pessimistic that it will get any better if things get cold again. I would predict calls for enhanced UN power to deal with uprooted people all paid for with direct taxes in the vein of the Law of the Sea fiasco.
