14 Sep 08- Excerpts: “As the global warming hoax begins to lose its
power to influence public opinion and policy, the Greens are not likely
to be heeded for a long time to come because they were right about an
Ice Age and lying through their teeth about global warming.
“Scientists and laymen who follow the Ice Age cycles have been warning
that, if not a full-fledged Ice Age, at the very least a Little Ice Age
comparable to one that lasted from 1300 to around 1850 is on its way
“Amidst all the media coverage of Hurricane Gustav and the Republican
Convention, a report in DailyTech.com was not likely to get much
attention, but it forecast a very cold world in the years to come. The
Earth has already started to cool and scientists date the change from
1998.
“Headlined, “Drop in solar activity has potential effect for climate on
Earth”, the news is that, for the first time in 100 years, “an entire
month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted.” The
author, Michael Asher, noted that “The event is significant as many
climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity—which determines the
number of sunspots—is an influencing factor for climate on Earth.”
(Caruba goes on to talk about my book and this website here …
which I
rather like.)
“As the DailyTech report notes, “In the past 1000 years, three previous
such events, the Dalton, Maunder, and Sporer Minimums,” of reduced
sunspot activity, “have all led to rapid cooling,” adding that, “For a
society dependent on agriculture, cold is more damaging than heat. The
growing season shortens, yields drop, and the occurrence of
crop-destroying frosts increases.”
“An article by William Livingston and Matthew Penn of the National Solar
Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, “Sunspots May Vanish by 2015”, predicts
that sunspots will disappear completely. “Such an event would not be
unprecedented, since during a famous episode from 1645-1715, known as
the Maunder Minimum…” That solar cycle “was shown to correspond with the
reduced average global temperatures on the Earth.”
“In other words, it’s going to get COLD.
“The Little Ice Age had an effect on history as you might imagine. The
French Revolution is attributed to it insofar as the cost of bread rose
as wheat crops failed. Riots followed. Similarly, Napoleon’s invasion of
Russia met with defeat thanks to a winter that killed thousands of his
troops. In America, it was reflected in the travails of Valley Forge.
(Here he mentions IceAgeNow.com again.)
“Even the venerable Old Farmers Almanac is making news these days
forecasting a far cooler winter and suggesting that the Earth is already
in a cooling cycle.
“No doubt some diehard Greens like Al Gore will continue to spout
nonsense that the cold weather is due to global warming, but it has to
do with the Sun that’s gone quiet. It’s not myth. It’s reality.”
