Famed Hurricane Forecaster William Gray Predicts Global Cooling in 10 Years Expert states ocean cycles will have a more profound effect on climate than CO2; criticizes James Hansen's climate models.

It turns out Al Gore was wrong. The scientists aren’t all in agreement on global warming; thus there is no “consensus.”
Prominent hurricane forecaster Dr. William M. Gray, a professor at Colorado State University, told the audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 4 in New York that a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures related to the salinity (the amount of salt) in ocean water was responsible for some global warming that has taken place. However, he said that same cycle means a period of cooling would begin within 10 years.
“We should begin to see cooling coming on,” Gray said. “I’m willing to make a big financial bet on it. In 10 years, I expect the globe to be somewhat cooler than it is now, because this ocean effect will dominate over the human-induced CO2 effect and I believe the solar effect and the land-use effect. I think this is likely bigger.”
Gray, 79, wasn’t sure if he’d be around to see his prediction come true.
“I may not be around by that time,” Gray said. “But, I’ve asked some of my students to put dandelions on my grave if that happens.”
Gray criticized NASA scientist and global warming alarmist James Hansen, calling him “the most egregious abuser” of data. According to Gray, Hansen’s alarmism is exaggerated because the models he uses to predict the increase in global warming count on too much water vapor in the atmosphere.

Everyone knows Gray is bought and paid for by big oil.
/s off
Heck no! This doesn’t go along with the MSM & Hollyweird’s socialist agenda.
There might be a consensus among scientists. They might agree that they like bagels toasted and with butter and jam even if their doctors tell them to cut out the fat. But that isn't science. Science is not run by consensus. Neither is mathematics, which is an even more obvious example.
Famed FReeprer Wilco200 predicts global warming in the northern hemisphere over the next six months, followed by six months of global cooling. Wilco200 will also go out on a limb and predict the exact opposite for the southern hemisphere.

What a great idea! I hope someone takes hime up on it...
DOH!
All rational scientists agree with Al Gore. The test of whether a scientist can be counted as rational or not is whether he agrees with Al Gore or not. < /sarc>
Doubtful, although I hope he's wrong. I really, really like global warming and hope it continues for another couple decades.
On a semi-related note, I saw a program a couple weeks ago (either the Science or History channel, I can't remember which) that theorized most of the really big changes in climate over the earth's history were the result of continental drift blocking certain ocean currents.
yea, well, let’s hurry up and get started with it already..28 degrees outside, sleet and freezing rain followed tomorrow by 3 inches of snow..
any more of this “global warming/climate change” stuff and we’re gonna freeze to death..
Global warming is causing global cooling in an effort to trick us! That bastard!
Where’s a lawyer when ya need one, eh? :)
bookmark for later
If he’s the guy I’m thinking of, he’s no small potatoes as far as meteorology is concerned.
I have a video he’s on where he talks about a hurricane hitting NO and he was pretty close about the scenario that ended up happening with the levees breaching when Katrina hit.
No, it won't make the evening news - when the LIBERAL GODS are wrong, the story just quietly goes awa
(:^o)
I’m not too up on this scientific stuff but does this mean the U.S. might come out ahead by selling carbon debits?
Can I get in on it? I never believed the GW crap anyway and we really could use the money.
No, it won't make the evening news - when the LIBERAL GODS are wrong, the story just quietly goes away
Is there a conservative trial lawyer out there who is eager to take some of Al's and George's (Soros) money?
Gray sounds like one of those crazy round-earthers. Obviously needs more calibration.
I just shoveled a bunch of global warming out of my driveway this morning.
Boy, I sure did enjoy the 50’s yesterday. Those that don’t want global warming can move to the Antarctic.
Me? I’ll take global warming. Bring it on!
The global warming nuts will want to take some action immediately so they can claim credit for global cooling in ten years.
RoadKingSE was wondering if famed Freeper wilco200 always refers to herself in the third person.
Did it make the news when James Hansen had to correct his U.S. temperature data for bias back in August of 2007 and the corrected data showed that in the USA that 7 of the hottest 11 years all occurred before 1955!
“Gray, 79, wasn’t sure if he’d be around to see his prediction come true.”
The alarmists are hoping for the death of the disciplined scientists so they can be replaced with the indoctrinated, politically correct scientists.
I’ll tell you what, I’m not a lawyer, but I’ll bet anyone who invested in any of those deals that Gore’s been peddling might have a case. The Feds oughta be sniffing around this, too, but I bet they won’t.
“yea, well, let’s hurry up and get started with it already..28 degrees outside”
Patients my friend. By the middle of May, these days will be a disatnt memory.
Turn your clocks back on Saturday and feel that Spring shine in!
There is also the issue of Solar Cycle 24 being off to a very slow start (last I heard), which may have a big (cooling) effect on our temperatures.
Well, my county has had 2.5 inches of rain—basement flooded due to sump pump being blocked by a piece of floating wood that once was part of a shelf for plastic bins of stored stuff. I turned off the main, unblocked the pump, turned it back on and got the water out. Cleaned all the storage bins, stuff inside was dry, thank heaven.
Then, 6 inches of snow so far today. *sigh* I would love to have some serious global warming. Okay, maybe just the northern hemisphere. All right, just my county. But, could it be quick, please?
Spring cannot come soon enough for me.
“RoadKingSE was wondering if famed Freeper wilco200 always refers to herself in the third person.’
Only when predicting weather
Turn your clocks back on Saturday
AHEAD! Sorry
Spring cannot come soon enough for me.
Ditto.
Interesting. When this guy predicts an above average hurricane season - as in the past two years - and is wrong, he gets ripped here for creating hype. When he predicts global cooling, his predictions are eagerly accepted.
Nope, nor will my concept of Global Moderation (tm). The concept that the Earth Heats up, Cools, Heats, Cools etc over decades. That oughta p*ss off Al Friggin Gore.
Oh look ... the cycle is starting to flip back to global cooling ... like it was in the 1930’s and the 1970’s. How marvelous.
Yep. When the ocean currents are able to run along the equator the Earth is a lot warmer.
“Al Gore is the Chairman and majority stock holder in the largest “carbon credit” selling company in the world Generation Investment Management.”
WTF!!! This was all about bilking money to line his pockets.
You may be on to something here....... LMAO
If we get to voe for our choice, I’ll take the warming. We need to crank up CO2 production to keep pace with this ocean current stuff.
Very astute point. Many Solar Scientists are worried about the current and possible future inactivity of the Sun’s sunspots. Most agree that the next Solar Cycle will be a low one, with some saying future activity could be as low as the Dalton or Maunder Minimum. (Both occurring during the Little Ice Age, especially the Maunder Minimum). I hope they are DEAD WRONG because this would be much worse than the Gorbal Warming junk tat we have been spoon fed for years.
(:^o)
I do too! Unfortunately it looks like I'm stuck in having to pursue it by moving south........
