Break out your swimsuit and your parkas boys, scientists have the climate covered from all angles.
Remember when it used to be simple with global cooling being the result? Then it was global warming? Those climate scientists are finally getting climate crafty by hedging their bets. Now if they would only become climate educated.

This must be the shotgun approach to climate model forecasting?

We are very likely in the second year of a second LITTLE ice age (the thing about sunspots). Real ice ages had cosmic causes and there is nothing like that on the horizon at all.

Money quote, buried at the bottom of the article. Classic libtardation:
"We could say that global warming could lead to a dramatic cooling," Patterson told LiveScience. "This should serve as a further warning rather than a pass."

From the article: ""We could say that global warming could lead to a dramatic cooling," Patterson told LiveScience."
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I saw a show on TV about a year ago that made the case that the earth is entering a mini-ice age. This documentation went on in some detail for about 55 minutes. Then the show did an abrupt about face and the last 5 minutes said this ice age is all being caused by global warming. Thank you and good night.

They are wrong a great deal of the time in predicitng tomorrow’s weather. Yet they expect us to bet our entire future, and that of our children and grandchildren on what they say the weather will be like in 50 or 100 years.
I’ll pass.

“People assume that we’re political, that we’re either pro-global-warming or anti-global-warming, when it’s really neither,” Patterson added. “Our goal is just to understand climate.”
Problem is pal, you all have taken a HUGE hit in credibility. Nobody is going to believe anything you have to say until you ALL pay penance.

I thought that dryas was cause when glacial lakes covering the Laurentian area in Canada and America suddenly broke, flooding the ocean in the area off eastern seaboard with freshwater, disrupting the thermohaline flow in the Atlantic. But, that was sudden, cold, fresh water. The greenland ice sheet is smaller, slower to melt, and in an already cold section of the ocean, thus negating the worse of the disruptions to the thermohaline system...
Oh, but they don't mention that at all in the article. Let me contain my surprise...
To: CSA Rebel
According to the climate prediction model I’ve developed I predict it will be getting colder if heads and warmer if tails, and my model has at least a 50% chance of being right. ;-)
To: wendy1946
Don’t worry be happy - likely not as bad as Younger Dryas - one theory for the origin if the fresh water is the an enormous slab of ice the size of Canada slid off the melting glaciers an landed in the Atlantic, also blocking the Gulf current.

Early in the history of mankind, when it would get very hot or very cold, they would claim the sun gods were angry.
This global warming is not far removed from worshipping the sun gods.

These poor bastards don't know whether they're coming or going yet we are supposed to take their word as if it were irrefutable and invest trillions on a junk science that would be the envy of P.T. Barnum.

Outside of Fredonia, NY you can drive away from Lake Erie up a road that runs up a series of stepped plateaus left by the last glacier as it receded. At the top of the last step the ice was over 5000 feet thick! And to think that all of that came about with very little human interaction.
