1912-1917 was the coldest 6 year period in the United States since 1900.

Wonderful, I want to go warmer climes.

......the effects of manmade global warming are marginally reduced,......

They can’t bear to let it go. Chicken Little still rules the minds of the grant receivers. The quantity is .3 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no way at all that a calculation can read that variation with any believable accuracy.

The author’s “three tenths of a degree at most” is completely without basis. In fact, the great bulk of evidence is that the sun’s current activity will reduce the temperature by about 0.75C or so which is equivalent to 1.3F. I am much more confident in making that guess for the climate over the next 10 years than mr algore can possibly be in pretending to support the fool IPCC predictions are accurate.

"So, in 3 years when we find out that we are actually 1 degree cooler than we were 100 years ago, will we suddenly have to do other things, and "create" new technologies, and be taxed more to implement these things and technologies, to overcome all the over compensating we're doing now?"

No, no! Gorebull warmscamming is only resting right now. Remember, that's what the experts in the scientific consensus said when the earth started cooling. So we have to have all the solutions to the problem in place before it starts up again. Send all your money to algore and zero hussein right now, before it's too late!

No sunspot to heat up the earth. No global warming. Here comes global cooling.

We are after all a bit overdue for the beginning of the next ice age. Invest in polypropylene shares.

I think the Maunder minimum lasted about 200 years. Then there were the shorter Sporer and Dalton minimums. Altogether there was a 400 to 500 year period of coolish temperatures. It was enough to destroy the Viking colonies in Greenland as they did not adapt the survival mechanisms of the Esquimos. See the book “Collapse” for details.

The period 1912-1917 followed the great Katmai eruption in 1912. I just finished read “Shakleton”, about the explorer’s heroic failed Antarctic expedition in 1914. By that time the great atmospheric ash load from the Alaskan volcano was able to drift all the way down to the lower Southern Hemisphere. His ship got frozen into the winter ice about 40 miles short of the land goal because winter hit early that year.

We had some nasty weather in the early and mid 1990’s thanks to the much smaller Pinitubo eruption. I think the biggest eruption prior to that was the great Tambora eruption in 1815, which caused the “year with no summer” throughout New England and other places.

All things are relative. Daytime temps are approaching or sometimes exceeding 40 degrees, sun is shining, snow is melting fast (slushy) and it’s actually possible to cross a parking lot walking mostly on pavement!

“All things are relative.”

You’ll notice I picked a day-old temperature that was well below average. The day I posted things were about average! Hey - if the global warmists can look at the weather and call it “climate” - so can I!

But yeah - glad it is warming up. I was up in Tok this fall and had beautiful weather working outside. The following week it started snowing. Saw it got down to something like -78 degrees straight temperature or something this winter there. That’s crazy!
