Global Warming - A New Ice Age?
Somehow, I doubt we are ready for this...
Alan Caruba writes at the American Spectator:
"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.'"
