Old Farmers Almanac: Global cooling may be underway
By David Tirrell-Wysocki, Associated Press Writer
DUBLIN, N.H. — The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.
Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.
"We at the Almanac are among those who believe that sunspot cycles and their effects on oceans correlate with climate changes," writes meteorologist and climatologist Joseph D'Aleo. "Studying these and other factor suggests that cold, not warm, climate may be our future."
It remains to be seen, said Editor-in-Chief Jud Hale, whether the human impact on global temperatures will cancel out or override any cooling trend.
"We say that if human beings were not contributing to global warming, it would become real cold in the next 50 years," Hale said.

I have heard the same prediction from another source on PBS - interesting premise for cyclical ice-ages, and not without historic proof.
It's still not a valid reason to shit in our own house...

Or live in a mud hut eating roots and berries...if it stays warm enough for the plants
to have bloomed! Cooling periods have not been good to the human species.
Talk about population control! That will thin us out, big time!

Well, if that's the case, then maybe now we won't have to hear anymore global warming bullpucky from Al Snore.

Yep, I suppose. And the next thing we'll hear is his speiling about "global cooling," and he'll be trying to bleed us dry on that one as well.

Hey, are you guys getting what I'm getting here?
We might actually be able to counter act "Global Cooling" by spewing out a little more green house gases?
Or at least just keep up what we've already been doing? :banana:

Is there no way to discuss pollution and the footprint of Mankind on this world without getting into childish name-calling?
God, we must look stupid from space!

Look everyone,
The Loony Left has caught on to the fact that the earth is shifting into a cool down, that's why they don't call it "Global Warming" anymore, they call it "Global Climate Change"...

You know something I don't think they get?
Weather and Climate never stay the same, over the course of time.
Hey, how's this? - Nightfall causes Global Cooling and Sunrise causes Global Warming. :lmao2:

:lmao2: :lmao2: Now that's funny! LOL! Some people just can't comprehend that. :banghead:
Hey, here's another one to ponder. It's called "global dimming." The diminishing of light. I wonder when he'll start yapping about that one. What an idiot!
