Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists

A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.

There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered with ice compared to this time last year, they equivalent of almost a million square miles.

In a rebound from 2012's record low an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia's northern shores, days before the annual re-freeze is even set to begin.

The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year, forcing some ships to change their routes.

A leaked report to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) seen by the Mail on Sunday, has led some scientists to claim that the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century.

If correct, it would contradict computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming. The news comes several years after it was predicted that the arctic would be ice-free by 2013.

Boy these scientist are a fickle bunch, up one day and down the next...

It will be a thing to watch if we don't get any hurricanes this season. What will be their explanation?

I can't wait....

[xp38]

just like the weather in some parts

[sport]

They will say that it was because of Global Warming.

[Crazieman]

A forum I frequent that has a subset of true believers are quite depressed and are trying to explain it away.

[xp38]

A disturbingly abnormal period of calmness has emerged due to...

[spokeshave]

Not to worry...King Obama is on this....

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

“It will be a thing to watch if we don’t get any hurricanes this season. What will be their explanation?”

Well, typically in the past, it would be evidence of human-induced global warming. Now it’s evidence of human induced catastrophic climate change, with only the negative effects of a lack of hurricanes mentioned.

[Northern Yankee]

Yeah... I know. How pathetic they look.

[Sirius Lee]

It will be a thing to watch if we don't get any hurricanes this season. What will be their explanation?

NOAA will simply reclassify what constitutes a hurricane down to the level of a local thunderstorm and pronounce themselves right all along.

[Northern Yankee]

LOL...

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... the hits just keep on coming.

These global warmists are pathetic.

[Venturer]

These scientists are a bit like the weatherman on TV.

They cannot tell from one day to the next what is happening.

All of their instruments and all of their knowledge and they predict a clear day and it rains.

The best predictor is to look out the window when you get up.

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... and algore continues to get rich.

By golly he’s done it.

I don’t know how many of you here remember but there was an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies from the 1960s that reminds me of all this. I looked it up and according to TV.com it aired in 1964 and this is their synopsis

Granny Versus the Weather Bureau

Granny gets tired of the weather girl on TV saying that the weather is going to be clear when it is actually going to rain. She has ways to correctly measure the weather, mainly her weather beetle, Cecil. She confronts the head meteorologist of the U.S Weather Bureau but without luck. Jed goes down to speak to him and mentions the name “Daisy,” making Addison thinks he means Hurricane Daisy, and tells of the plan to get rid of her. After the misunderstanding it cleared up, Addison heads to the Clampett mansion to show a movie about how the weather is measured in modern times. But when the movie ends, it starts to rain, just as Granny predicted. The next day, the Weather Bureau receives many calls of complaint, and Addison guarantees that the weather prediction will be right from now on – Granny gave him tips and her weather beetle.

They will find some horrible situation on which to blame lack of hurricanes and sunspots. Perhaps the "excess ice" in the Arctic.

[Sub-Driver]

Well the excuse du jour will be “global warming messed up our global warming projections so we had to take that into account when projecting global warming.......”

[Cymbaline]

They will say that it was because of Global Warming.

And Bush's fault. And yours, because you don't drive a Prius or a Smart car.

[Smokin' Joe]

In the late 1970s there was talk of the next ice age. The we're going to boil in our own juices. Now an ice age...

Listen to grandpa when he tells you weather runs in 33 year cycles....and save everyone a bunch of chicken little crap.
