How about this - it will either warm, cool or stay the same over the next X years. At some point, a trend will form that we’ll recognize, perhaps only after the fact. In the short term, it will look mostly like fluctuation around the mean.

Then we expect another Ice Age. Just looking at the historical data.

Note: there are more data points near the present, so the random variations and errors make it appear as if there was more short term variation than in the past, but it's just a density of samples effect.

So what do I do now?????????????????????????

Well life is gonna suck for a while. But look at the bright side. If there is another ice age there are some good things.
(1)A mile thick glacier will push New York into the ocean
(2)The drop in sea levels will put LA and SF way inland so nobody will want to live there.
(3)A mile thick glacier will push New York into the ocean
(4)We will get to yell TOLD YA SO at the global warmers before we freeze or starve to death
(5)A mile thick glacier will push New York into the ocean
(6)Russia & Europe will have it worse than us so the libs will finally stop trying to make us into a mirror of Europe.
(7) Oh and did i mention that a mile thick glacier will push New York into the ocean

There are no “climate experts”. They are all climate expert wannabees.

When they can accuratley predict the upcoming weekend weather on a Wednesday, I’ll reconsider my statement.

I wish they would make up their mind already..

Global warming, I’ll move north to retire. Global cooling I’ll probably stay at about the latitude I’m at now.

These people are so screwed up. Where did they get their degree, CLU, Chicken Little University?

It’s nature folks. Get a grip on you testicles and man up.

Coldest winters, warmest summers have been a fact of life since the beginning of time. Things change. Who knew?

“Someone needs to inform AlGore & the rest of the ‘nonprofit’ con men that ‘global cooling’ happens in the winter and ‘global warming’ in the summer.”

But if we said that we would be lying just like Gore.

I used to be mean but I saw very little fluctuation around me.

Indeed, I rarely even take today’s weather report seriously. The most accurate, up-to-date weather report is what you get when you stick your head out the window. As for climate, that’s what you get after observing the weather over a long period. If something like an asteroid or a volcano throws up a huge amount of dust and causes mass extinctions, etc, chances are I’ll be too busy to care about the um “climate”.

Get a rock and hang from a rope - then you can predict the weather!!!

If the rock is wet, it is raining.
If the rock is green, it rained a while ago.
If the rock is white, it is snowing.
If the rock is shaking, there is an earthquake.
If the rock is dry, the weather is fair.
If the rock is swinging, it’s windy.
If the rock is warm, the sun is out.
If the rock is not visible, it’s foggy.
If the rock is under water, there is a flood.
If the rock is gone, there is a tornado (Run!!)

Are these so-called ‘scientist’ the same people were calling for ‘global warming”? If so I wonder how they think anyone can take such idiots seriously.

The most uneducated person knows more then these clowns.

IT’S ALL ABOUT GETTING CONTROL and we don’t buy into ANY control.

Ice Ages mean less food than a Warmer Earth... Idiots in the MSM don’t have a brain in their heads.

And old farmer died who was universally disliked. At the funeral they wanted someone to say something, anything, nice about him. There was a long, awkward silence. Finally someone piped up - “Waalll - he weren’t as mean sometimes as he were most of the time”.

Texas will add 100+ miles to it’s incredibly fertile coastal plain. Same for Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, et al.
