The global warming nuts will want to take some action immediately so they can claim credit for global cooling in ten years.

Don't worry, they already have that covered... They call it "Global Climate Change", and no matter what happens, as long as it changes, it's man's fault.

Oh look ... the cycle is starting to flip back to global cooling ... like it was in the 1930’s and the 1970’s. How marvelous.

On a semi-related note, I saw a program a couple weeks ago (either the Science or History channel, I can't remember which) that theorized most of the really big changes in climate over the earth's history were the result of continental drift blocking certain ocean currents.

Yep. When the ocean currents are able to run along the equator the Earth is a lot warmer.

If we get to voe for our choice, I’ll take the warming. We need to crank up CO2 production to keep pace with this ocean current stuff.

“There is also the issue of Solar Cycle 24 being off to a very slow start (last I heard), which may have a big (cooling) effect on our temperatures.”

Very astute point. Many Solar Scientists are worried about the current and possible future inactivity of the Sun’s sunspots. Most agree that the next Solar Cycle will be a low one, with some saying future activity could be as low as the Dalton or Maunder Minimum. (Both occurring during the Little Ice Age, especially the Maunder Minimum). I hope they are DEAD WRONG because this would be much worse than the Gorbal Warming junk tat we have been spoon fed for years.

I really, really like global warming and hope it continues for another couple decades.

I do too! Unfortunately it looks like I'm stuck in having to pursue it by moving south........

If hilary, obama, and McManiac would stop exhaling everything would be OK. I can almost guarantee it. Wanna buy some carbon credits? Haven’t got the forms made up yet but I’m working on it. Ain’t this fun?

Famed FReeprer Wilco200 predicts global warming in the northern hemisphere over the next six months, followed by six months of global cooling. Wilco200 will also go out on a limb and predict the exact opposite for the southern hemisphere.

How very George Carlin of you!

Turn your clocks back on Saturday AHEAD! Sorry

When you're retired time becomes irrelevant. I now find myself checking the calendar to find out what day it is. Fortunately I cross off the days each night before I go to bed because if I don't then I'm likely to think today is actually Monday.....

“I’m willing to make a big financial bet on it. In 10 years, I expect the globe to be somewhat cooler than it is now, because this ocean effect will dominate over the human-induced CO2 effect and I believe the solar effect and the land-use effect. I think this is likely bigger.”

Someone should explain to this individual that the "solar effect" is what actually heats the water on the planet. Ultimately the sun is THE driver for global weather not the water. At the moment the sun is very quiet, hence the unusually cold weather around the globe as of late.

This will stop nothing. Not the mercury laden light bulb fiasco, nor all the government intrusion, carbon taxes, food for fuel nightmare and all the rest of that crappola.

Of our 3 choices for President, all are gung ho on destroying the economy to “fight global warming”.

Bend over folks, you are about to have mercury light bulbs shoved up your rear end.

GeorgiaDawg — I am sitting here, having stayed home from work due to the weather predictions, watching snow fall. It has been snowing like h3ll for the past 5 hours and I betcha I have at least 10-12 inches of snow on the ground. Uh huh . . .GLOBAL WARMING!!

Here is the answer to man-made global warming fanatics in ONE GRAPH.

400 000 year  CO2 and temperature
Figure 5

Where are the human beings and industry: 120,000 years ago? ...250,000 years ago? ...310,000 years ago? ...and... 400,000+ years ago? that caused identical global warming???
Answer: There weren't any!!!

What do think the temperature declines represent???
Answer: Ice ages!!!

What do think comes next on the right hand end???
Answer: Another Ice Age!!!

.


Figure 1

Are ice ages a big deal?
Answer: Yes

Are they repeatable like clock work?
Damn Right!

.

For the above graph source (Figure 5) and an even more interesting larger version of the chart showing historical ice ages and ocean impacts (Figure 1), see http://icecap.us/images/uploads/McClenneyPart_I.pdf.
The other parts are:
http://icecap.us/images/uploads/McClenneyPart_II.pdf
http://icecap.us/images/uploads/McClenneyPart_III.pdf
http://icecap.us/images/uploads/McClenneyPart_IV.pdf
http://icecap.us/images/uploads/McClenneyPart_V.pdf
and the main source is the middle column of http://icecap.us/
(Parts I and II are tough going to understand but well worth the effort; I have some questions regarding Part III; and Parts IV and V are somewhat off the deep end. However, the latter do not impact the value and accuracy of Part I and Part II, and your reading and understanding of the first two parts is heartily recommended!

.

One more thing.....
What would be the impact of another ice age on Florida for example?
