Climatologists and meteorologists are familiar with the last Mini Ice Age (MIA) that occurred between 1350 and 1850 AD. It is also referred to as the Little Ice Age. Suffice to say it was cold and, as such weather cycles tend to do, it altered history in a variety of ways.
The
failure of crops was one aspect of the cold spell and in France the revolution
that overthrew the monarchy is attributed to the unhappiness of its citizens,
but famine in the northern hemisphere was widespread. In the United States, it
is best recalled for the horrid winter our revolutionary war soldiers spent at
Valley Forge. At one point during the cycle Americans spent what they called “a
year without summer” when the weather remained too cold to plant crops.
Since
climate is cyclical, it is not surprising that the MIA followed the Medieval
Warm Period, also known as a climate optimum. Crops flourished, empires rose and
declined, and neither cycle had a thing to do with so-called greenhouse gas
emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and everything to do with what was
happening on the sun.
As
spring arrives in the U.S., there was also a broad band of snow storms that
comes with it.
One of
the world’s most respected long-term climate forecasters is Piers Corbyn, an
astrophysicist whose expertise is relied upon by corporations and others who
need to know what the weather will really be as opposed to the criminally
false claims about global warming. His website, WeatherAction, is well worth
visiting.
In his
own words, “WeatherAction is involved in the Global Warming/Climate Change
debate where we point out that the world is now cooling not warming and there is
no observational evidence in the thousands and millions of years of data that
changes in CO2 have any effect on weather or climate. There are no scientists in
the world who can produce such observational data. There is only effect the
other way, namely that ocean temperatures control average CO2
levels.”
Recently
Corbyn announced that “The CO2 story is over. It has been pointing the world in
the wrong direction for too long. The serious implications of the developing
mini ice age to agriculture and the world economy through the next 25 to 35
years must be addressed.” World cooling is now locked in says Corbyn, citing the
decrease in average solar activity and a jet stream that is often further south
than normal, resulting in extreme weather events.
Following
in the heels of Corbyn’s forecast was the release of a new report by Dr.
David Whitehouse, published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and
what makes it fairly extraordinary after decades of global warming propaganda is
that he concludes that there has been no statistically significant increase in
annual global temperatures since 1997. That’s seventeen years of atrocious lies
about a warming earth.
The irony
that Dr. Whitehouse includes in his report is that the atmospheric composition
of carbon dioxide has increased during that time from 370 ppm to 390 ppm. So,
everything you have been told about carbon dioxide emissions and those of other
so-called greenhouse gases “causing” a warming earth is just lies, lies, and
lies.
“If the
standstill (lower temperatures) continues for a few more years,” wrote Dr.
Whitehouse, “it will mean that no one who has just reached adulthood, or
younger, will have witnessed the earth get warmer during their
lifetime.”
Now here’s
the kicker. The President of the United States, according to a recent Business
Week article, “is preparing to tell all federal agencies for the first time
that they should consider the impact on global warming before approving
projects, from pipelines to highways.” The result “could be significant delays
for natural gas export facilities, ports for coal sales to Asia, and even new
forest roads, industry lobbyists say.”
“In taking
the step,” said Business Week reporter Mark Drajem, “Obama would be fulfilling a
vow to act alone in the face of a Republican-run House of Representatives
unwilling to pass measures limiting greenhouse gases.”
The
President, as usual, is lying through his teeth. There is no global warming or,
as it is more frequently called these days, climate change unless you include
a colder earth in that change.
The result
will be four years of a second term in office during which Obama and his minions
will do everything they can to slow what little is left of the U.S. economy,
currently growing at a rate that requires a microscope to
detect.
For the
rest of us, the Mini Ice Age has arrived.

Funny, these same idiots claimed that the next ice age was coming way back in 1976. Global warming didn't sell and now they are back to the ice age... Well, guess what? This earth has encountered at least 6 ice ages before, and we, were not here and not responsible for them. Ask your global warming dolts about that...
crickets... :)
