On the heels of the pronouncement by one of the gurus of global warming that any decrease in the earths temperature could be a thousand years away, another scientist has stepped forward with the warning that a new Ice Age could be right around the corner. Professor Tim Flannery, the head of Australias Climate Change Commission, sparked the latest scandal in the global warming community when he recently declared, "If the world as a whole cut all emissions tomorrow, the average temperature of the planet's not going to drop for several hundred years, perhaps over 1000 years." As reported previously for The New American, Prof. Flannery has endeavored to ameliorate the effects of his comment by claiming that temperatures would begin to drop by the end of the century, but his millenarian prognostications served to highlight the ineffectiveness even insignificance of the proposed draconian reductions in the worlds industrial activity.

As the global warming theory has withered under public scrutiny in the aftermath of the Climategate and Glaciergate scandals, the theorys proponents have been dashing around looking for a way to push their agenda. Last year, Holdren tried to adjust the language of the climate change debate by promoting a new terminology of global climate disruption. The cultivated ambiguity of Holdrens new phraseology permits virtually any anomalous weather activity to constitute proof of their theoryrendering the theory incapable of being falsified, which is usually a fine indicator of pseudoscience.

Now we are back to the popular science 1974 ice age predictions.

As have I since about 2000 or so! I just hope I’m wrong and it is only a minor cooling, and not a REAL ice age that we are overdue for.

Absolute rubbish...al Bore said we would die suffocating due to the extreme heat of global warming.

How even a dime is spent on this climate lunacy is beyond me.

I remember he said that on "In Search Of" IIRC. BTW, I live just west of Pittsburgh, the glaciers got so close to me that if they had cars and highways then, I could take a 15 to 20 minute trip North on I-79 or Route 19 and see them. They got as far as Ellwood City past the I-80 corridor. It would be kind of cool, if I had a wife and kids, take them up there for a picnic. B-)

I am in Texas too, and I vote for global cooling! I don't know how much more heat I can stand. You want bananas? Even Houston has too much winter to grow bananas, stop and think how long summer would have to be to grow bananas in Dallas.

Here in Wisconsin the Woooly Mammoths, Woooly Rhinos, and Sabertooth are returning. Gotta get new loads to bring them down. Can see the Ice Cap in the far distance ... getting closer.
