Longer term Solar Minimum could lead to Little Ice Age

Ice Age Now ^ | August 15, 2009 | Robert W. Felix

“For what it is worth, from today’s spaceweather.com:

QUIET SUN: According to NOAA sunspot counts, the longest stretch of spotless suns during the current solar minimum was 52 days in July, August and Sept. of 2008. The current spate of blank suns is putting that record in jeopardy. There have been no sunspots for almost 42 days and there are none in the offing. Deep solar minimum continues.”

“You are absolutely correct. Even with a mini ice age, we would be praying for global warming.”

Amen

How do we get more coast?

It's here....link to video of snow in Wyoming in August:

Time to fire up the SUV in a warming effort.

I've been toying with getting a bumper sticker that reads:

CLIMATE CHANGER

I would run mine more,...but the high price of gas has me restraining myself.

The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975

Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. It may look foolish today, but in fact world temperatures had been falling since about 1940. It was around 1979 that they reversed direction and resumed the general rise that had begun in the 1880s, bringing us today back to around 1940 levels. A PDF of the original is available here. A fine short history of warming and cooling scares has recently been produced. It is available here...

How long ago and who was it built the wharf on Easter Island...when ocean-level was how many feet higher...?

*sheesh*
It’s about time the alarmists got a chance to cool their heels....

I think we are definitely in the beginning stages of a solar minimum and as bad as it may get, we should start calling it the “Gore Minimum”. The dirty bastard deserves to have it hung around his neck like an albatross.

Bravo!

[WildWeasel]

Why would he pay? The Earth is cooling as predicted due to lower output by the Sun and is being labeled as the reason..

He should collect, not pay.

Thanks Fred Nerks.

It’s just too bad they aren’t going to drown when the sealevel rises 100 feet. ;’)

[Monkey Face]

Don’t hold your breath. They may all go down to the beach to see what’s going on...

Real ice ages had cosmic causes; there is nothing like that on the radar screen at present. LITTLE ice ages are caused by ordinary variations in the suns output and the evidence indicates that we’re in the second summer of a second little ice age now.

LOL! My Dad told me that the Ice Age folks would follow the Fire Age folks.

Said he has seen it before to many times.

Thanks for the ping. I often go to icecap.us along with a number of like minded sites.

"...there is a very well written feature-length article by astronomer Emeritus Dr. William Livingston..."

Wonder if anyone has come up to him and said, "Dr. Livingston, I presume?"
LOL!
