Russian Scientist: 'We should fear a deep temperature drop -- not catastrophic global warming'

Mankind should fear governments, not climate.

[silverleaf]

the Russians should fear it more than us. How many degrees can the earth lose before there are no grain crops in Russia?

Want to proove that CO2 is a farce!???

Ask a bunch of scientists what they would do to reverse global cooling if it ever occurred.

Odds are they would come to the consensus that CO2 would not be a significant tool.

Thanks. Interesting point!

[Thermalseeker]

Odds are they would come to the consensus that CO2 would not be a significant tool.

Or at all useful based on ice core data. Ice core data shows C02 rise follows temperature rise, not the other way around.....

This scares the crap out of me.
Time to buy more rice!

Mankind should fear governments, not climate.

Zactly!

Cooling could be really, really bad. Consider New York City under the ice - Long Island is a terminal moraine. How about the most fertile farmland in the country either under ice or tundra. How about humanoid settlement in Britain has never made it through an ice age?

Still, if the pattern of the past revealed in the ice cores holds, we're not yet to the next interglacial maximum.

We will beg and pray for global warming if we end up with global cooling.

This is an excellent paper, but it won’t matter. Global warming isn’t about climate, and it isn’t concerned with the welfare of mankind. It is a scheme to transfer wealth and power to centralized rulers, increasing their ability to rule and the dependency the ruled will have on them. Our Founders had a vision of a new world order based on liberty, freedom and individualism. It was the freeing of man to achieve his greatness, the antithesis of the old world concept that there were rulers and the ruled. The new regime has a very different agenda, a different vision that sees the necessity of a new, enlightened ruling class, and it is them. Global warming is a way to transfer power from the old world to their new world vision. They don’t care if the ruled are cold or hot, dead or alive, as long as power and wealth continues to be theirs.

Ice core data shows C02 rise follows temperature rise, not the other way around.....

Am I the only one who struggles with a theory that includes effects that precede the cause? How is it that the warmth comes first and the CO2 that causes the warmth follows it?

It would seem much more reasonable to conclude that the rise in CO2 is an effect, like the carbonation leaving your diet Pepsi as it reaches room temperature. But that would leave you to search for a reasonable explanation for the global temperature rise, something like the variations in the amount of solar energy being emitted.

But then no one could blame mankind, and that is unacceptable.

Of course, Texas, Louisiana, et al, will add 100 miles more or so of land as the Gulf of Mexico recedes (the water is locked up in the glaciers).

Imagine Galveston 100 miles inland. Lots of very productive cropland possible on what used to be ocean bottom.

[darth]

The CO2 could be released from tundra that is thawing as the Earth warms.

The chill is on.

Ice ages can occur in as little 20 years and last hundreds of years.

That’s a good point, when we get deep into the next ice age a lot of continental shelf will be land again. Many of us think there’s going to be some good archeology done in the future on the shelf around the world.
