On a positive note: NEW SKIS!
. Near future/alternate future in which anti-technology forces control Earth
So to turn AGW socialism on its head, the proper response to cooling would be to burn more fossil fuels.
I sure have this winter. It's been pretty cool here in VA.
I’d bet muslims hated it when America landed on the Moon.
Isn’t that an offence to their Moon god? And their stupid waning crescent flags?
I sure hope so.
Great. If it lasts as long as the last one, I’ll be living out the rest of my life with frigid, artic winters and cold, slushy springs.
Someone needs to crank up the coal-burning power plants and take all the carbon scrubbers off the smoke stacks and pray to Gaia that “man made” global warming is as effective as the Enviro-zealots claim it to be.
This is not on accord with the predictions of the Profit Algore.
Therefore it must be wrong.
Ummmm .... is this Casey’s opinion who is only a NASA consultant or is this NASA’s opinion? I think the headline might be misleading.
Twenty-nine more winters like this in soviet Red England??? Biting my tongue...
I have followed what solar scientist have been saying for years. They were predicting a new Maunder Minimum back in the early 1990’s.
"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything."
I guess the sun didn't get the email.
The Little Ice Age of the 1600s and 1700s has been edited out of Wikipedia on purpose, as was the Medieval Warm period around 1000.
That it was much colder and much warmer than today in recorded history is contrary to the “it’s getting warmer, all industrialization’s fault”.
More damning is the deliberate alteration of weather station data to fit the warming trend of models, rather than admitting the models are wrong
The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever

Bookmarked.
Yes, there were quite a few stories on the coming ice age. I do not recall any of them blaming man’s activities for the coming ice age.
Everyone recognized it as a natural cycle, back then.
I’m old enough to remember the doomsday predictions of the Club of Rome. Back in the late sixties and early seventies, they commissioned computer modeling of world resources and demographics, and concluded that world government was essential to mitigate the certain doom that awaited humanity. Lots of people were impressed back then by any study that used a computer: the doomsday predictions were the settled science of advanced computer models.
That makes me old enough to remember also Paul Ehrlich’s original doomsday predictions.
The people who believe this stuff are typically secularists who scoff at the religious. Most are too dense to see that they are just as superstitiously absurd as are members of the doomsday cults that predict that the end of the world is around the corner. Of course, there are a few who know exactly what they are doing.
It’s not surprising to the objective observer that their prognostications fail to materialize. And it’s not surprising that a charlatan would behave like the Wizard of Oz, pretend that he remains a wizard, and proceed to make new predictions. The amazing thing is that these charlatans routinely get a free pass when their predictions fail. The credulity of their believers defies rational explanation. It really does seem like universal doomsday fears are hardwired in the psyche of a large fraction of humans.
When?
I think some were blaming “pollution”.
