The whole global climate thing simply doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, we’ll adapt. Some people will lose money and some will make money. But, here’s the big point; humanity has zero influence over the climate. The sun is 1.3 million times larger than the Earth. We’re all microscopic nematode sh*t in comparison.

The “Little Ice Age” refers to a period during the 1600s

While there is plenty of disagreement as to exact dates, no one thinks that the Little Ice Age was confined to the seventeenth century. Many would say that the years 1300 to 1850 were brackets for this climactic event.

Exactly! I’ve yet to hear what the optimal global temperature is.

Once the oncoming ice age becomes undeniable, can’t wait for the spin doctors to tell us why Obama’s executive orders on global warming were a good idea after all.

Seriously, these people will be pushing global warming until the Arctic ice sheet envelopes Harvard Yard.

42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life but I guess I wouldn’t suggest it as the optimal global temperature.

They will tell us that Obama was responsible for the polar ice to reform.

Sunspots have been very active this month. Probably the highest they’ve been this max. I thought we had passed the max.

I didn’t know this but the final and last book of the series was published back in 2009.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy

It was announced on 17 September 2008 that the author of Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer, had been commissioned to write the sixth instalment entitled And Another Thing... with the support of Jane Belson, Adams’ widow.[20][21]

The story begins as death rays bear down on Earth, and the characters awaken from a virtual reality. Zaphod picks them up shortly before they’re killed, but completely fails to escape the death beams. They are then saved by Bowerick Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged, whom they agree to help kill. Zaphod travels to Asgard to get Thor’s help. In the meantime, the Vogons are heading to destroy a colony of people who also escaped Earth’s destruction, on the planet Nano. Arthur, Wowbagger, Trillian and Random head to Nano to try to stop the Vogons, and on the journey, Wowbagger and Trillian fall in love, making Wowbagger question whether or not he wants to be killed. Zaphod arrives with Thor, who then signs up to be the planet’s God. With Random’s help, Thor almost kills Wowbagger. Wowbagger, who merely loses his immortality, then marries Trillian.

Thor then stops the first Vogon attack, and apparently dies. Meanwhile, Constant Mown, son of Prostetnic Jeltz, convinces his father that the people on the planet are not citizens of Earth, but are, in fact, citizens of Nano, which means that it would be illegal to kill them. As the book draws to a close, Arthur is on his way to check out a possible university for Random, when, during a hyperspace jump, he is flung across alternate universes, has a brief encounter with Fenchurch, and ends up exactly where he’d want to be. And then the Vogons turn up again.

Just when human technology has advanced to the point where we could save earth from the deep freeze we were ruled by idiots.

Deja vu, all over again...Reminds me of when I was a Geology undergrad in the 70s. The big hype was the coming ice age, back before global warming got to be the ticket.

It's a 33 year cycle...
