Global Warming on Free Republic

Casey says the evidence is clear that the earth is rapidly growing colder because of diminished solar activity. He says trends indicate we could be headed for colder temperatures similar to those seen in the late 1700s and early 1800s when the sun went into a "solar minimum" — a phenomenon with significantly reduced solar activity, including solar flares and sunspot. .... If "Dark Winter" is right, that means the nation is busily preparing for the wrong calamity. "We don't have 10 years," Casey warns. "We've squandered during President Obama's administration eight years . . . and we didn't have eight years to squander." The worst of the cooling cycle, Casey predicts, will hit in the late 2020s and the early 2030s. Food riots will break out, demand for heating oil will spike, and the failure of the corn crop will put the squeeze on ethanol. He even predicts the United States will ban agricultural exports to feed its own citizens.

I was going to bring a 1/2 cord of wood in this weekend, but the water heater tank failed on Saturday and I was a bit distracted with that... that weather map saddens me.
I kid you not, the 7 day forecast at the National Weather Service website last Friday for 16407 showed every night and day through next Thursday as snow showers... not a single sunny or partly cloudy or rainy... snow... all snow.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!
Yelp, and it's all because of globull warming, caused by driving my 4x4, grilling red meat, using my fireplace, turning on my old fashioned 100 watt light bulbs, smoking cigars and breathing and farting.
My bad, sorry.
Or possibly the start of another non-mini Ice Age. We are, after all, around 12,000 years into the present interglacial, longer than their average length.
As is traditional, I responded without reading all the posts on the thread. You are quite right.
Casey seems to be suggesting that the sun plays an important,and perhaps even a pivotal,role in the earth’s climate/weather.He clearly hasn’t gotten the memo from algore,the Former Twelfth Lady and Princess Liawatha.
Actually, it gets this cold six weeks later than this.
“I also wouldn’t be surprised if a real ice age happens.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age
An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of Earth’s surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed “glacial periods” (or alternatively “glacials” or “glaciations” or colloquially as “ice age”), and intermittent warm periods are called “interglacials”. Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres.[1] By this definition, we are in an interglacial period—the holocene—of the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.[2]
Too much is being made of this “polar vortex.” It’s actually a bit more complicated than that.

Well, good. Now that some scientist has predicted it, we can look forward to 30 years of mild winters.
Funny license plate.
“He even predicts the United States will ban agricultural exports to feed its own citizens.”
If the present crowd in in office, they won’t.
??? Article fails to say what actions they should take?
Shun the unbeliever! Shun! Shun!!
It appears Time Magazine was right back in 1979. The great Global Cooling is here.
As suggested in that magazine, coal production must be increased immediately. This coal needs to be shipped to the Arctic and Antarctic such that we blacken down the stark white, highly reflective, landscape of those regions. As such, this should allow the Earth to retain more heat, reflect less of it, all in an environmentally responsible way.
Coal is such a seventies thing. We have oil rigs up there now. Just run some fire hoses out and hose down the ice cap.
(Sure glad the environuts didn’t get their way with that coal thing. How could anyone possibly think that would be a good idea!?)
