Which is why the die hard leftists are trying to grab as much power as quickly as possible using Algore's hoax -- before people get wise to it.
A fairly cold spell will set in quite soon, by 2012. Elsewhere, the paper says we will have a cold spell in 100,000 years.
The second point is ridiculous. Roughly every 100,000 years for the past million years, the earth has gone through an Ice Age/warming cycle. The Ice Age generally lasts about 80,000 years, the warm spell about 20,000. We are close (a thousand years or two) to the end of our latest warm cycle. These changes seem to come rather quickly. Are they caused by major disasters? I have been looking as have others. After Toba volcano 74,000 years ago, there was a significant downturn in the most recent ice age. After Sakara-jima volcano 22,000 years ago there was a further downturn. Toba left a crater 18 by 65 miles. Sakara-jima left a crater 15 miles in diameter. There is a recent FR thread about a possible meteor strike about 13,000 years ago which may have caused an abrupt regression in our most recent warming phase called the Younger Dryas.
There must be many other events out there. The Yellowstone Caldera event around 600,000 years ago may have triggered the Ice Age of that period. Yellowstone has been heating up a bit recently, is it due for another major blow? Meanwhile, we need to give serious thought to reducing the world population, before nature does it for us and much more cruelly.
