The global warming theory is going into the freezer, some climate experts say.
The first half of this year was the coolest in at least five years, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). And the global warming that has taken place during the past 30 years is over, says geologist Don J. Easterbrook, a professor emeritus at Western Washington University.
Easterbrook, who has written eight books and 150 journal publications, predicts that temperatures will cool between 2065 and 2100 and that global temperatures at the end of the century will be less than 1 degree cooler than now. This is in contrast to other theories saying that temperatures will warm by as much as 10 degrees by 2100.
In March, Easterbrook said he was putting his “reputation on the line” by predicting global cooling.
“The average of the four main temperature measuring methods is slightly cooler since 2002 [except for a brief el Niño interruption] and record breaking cooling this winter. The argument that this is too short a time period to be meaningful would be valid were it not for the fact that this cooling exactly fits the pattern of timing of warm/cool cycles over the past 400 years,” Easterbrook wrote on March 1.

Well..at least we still have climate change.
Proof that Al Gore and the conservation terrorist have pulled the wool over most eyes and scammed many.
Shameful humans
if global cooling were to start,
the tv producers would have tv viewers
onto a new global disaster,
making your head spin.
What, this guy doesn’t have email??!?
Doesn’t he know the scientific debate is OVER?
There’s always *someone* who doesn’t get the word.
;-)
Just over a short period of time (70 years) I have seen it all as far as minute weather fluctuations. What a great experience. Thank you God for showing me the best of your creations.
To you all, we are entering into a small ice age.
It’s time to begin releasing more greenhouse gases.
Ah, yes, that kind - for those who live to accept guilt and embrace duplicity.
the last time anybody ever went for more than about a month without seeing sunspots was in the 1600s just before the little ice age. This could be God’s plan to make demoKKKrats look stupid.
Maybe even liberals will wake up now. When you put a sweater on when you used to go swimming... it's time to join another cult. The Church of Global Warming has gone defunct.
You again!
I thought I told you a month ago to stop using the same picture of the sun. Now go outside and get a new one!
Ain’t you got the word that changes in solar brightness don’t affect da temperature here on earth. And Ah got me data all da way from from 1970 up to 1975 dat proves it too!
Alaska and Penn, Indiana and Ohio tell the same type of stories.
It’s really a little more recent than that: 1913 (when temps were about the same as now) had a month with no sunspots.
Every month between 1913 and now? Spots.
Note that temps rose from 1890 to about 1940, then fell from 1940 to 1975, then rose from 1975 to 1998....
Now they are on the way back down again. Maybe.
He’s a professor “emeritus” so he has no further need for federal grants.
Algore and Tiny Tommie are both deeply saddened.
Liberal reply- where are the sources? Was there a consensus?
