Massive evidence is emerging that we may well be headed toward a sudden Ice Age. We may need all the greenhouse gasses we can throw up in order to mitigate some of the potential damage. A new sudden Ice Age would leave all the world's harbors landlocked with catastrophic economic consequences. This year we have a dramatically cooler atmosphere combined with dramatically warmer oceans. This is a perfect recipe for massive evaporation and record snowfalls all over the world.

Too much global warming can cause global cooling! </gorebot>

Yikes!

Something the ‘warmers’ have never considered: An Ice Age Cometh.

No, I look forward to the mini-ice age this is describing.

New England states, along with Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, will all get hit hardest. These states are the ones that have more liberals than most and they are the ones that have sent us backwards with “global warming” for years.

I want to see every liberal recant and then commit hara-kiri.

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.

Maybe the Goracl;e and his Gorons will finally shut up!

[Not now, Not ever!]

Now will NASA throttle Hansen?

"A new sudden Ice Age would leave all the world's harbors landlocked with catastrophic...."

The article speaks of a Maunder Minimum type cooling, not a new "sudden Ice Age". Even at the height of the last ice age latitudes up to 38 degrees were free of glacial ice. Snowball earth was 600 million years ago and is not likely to be repeated over the next few election cycles.

"A new sudden Ice Age would leave all the world's harbors landlocked with catastrophic economic consequences."

That's funny. My first American ancestor landed on the northeast coast on a tall wooden ship in 1669. He did very well with farming after that.

“the Sun will be devoid of sunspots in five years time”

In case nobody is looking the Sun IS devoid of Sunspots and has been for the last 41 days, and there are none predicted any time soon. The “Gore Minimum” is upon us! I hope him and his carbon footprint go bankrupt and never show their face in public again. Pseudo science nitwits!

[snowsislander]

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.

From NASA's site:

Solar Cycle 24 is overdue to ramp up. If we don't see significant sunspot activity by New Years, then it looks like we are in a minimum.

bump for a careful read.

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.
