Aren't we seeing this already?

I think the last 4 winters have been pretty brutal for England.

Oh boy, more ice skating on the Thames!

[NormsRevenge]

I’ve never skated under London Bridge.. Cool.

[GreyFriar]

Yes, but NASA and NOAA “scientists” keep changing the data to show the opposite.

OMG! Global Warming strikes again. Can’t you see that the freezing of Great Britain is proof the world is warming and reaching dangerous levels. {sarc}

A spokesman said: "A return to low solar activity not seen for centuries could increase the chances of cold winters in Europe and eastern parts of the United States but wouldn't halt global warming.

Of course not. The only thing that would prevent global warming would be all the LIPs (Low-info People) developing some common sense.

Now CO2 emissions will be seen as a form of neo-colonialism: Increased CO2 output may help the northern imperialistic nations stay warm, but meanwhile it will make the southern colonial countries hotter.

I guess it's time to check our privilege.

Oh No. Get out and run your SUV’s. We need to warm this place up.

In both 1821 and 1899, Galveston Bay froze solid. Jane Long, the Mother of Texas reported that in 1821, while she was trapped alone near the bay, she saw a full grown Black Bear walking on the ice. In 1899, people ice skated and there is a picture of a horse and wagon traveling on ithe ice so it was 4-6” thick. Can you imagine the caterwauling should these occurrences happen again?

Oh, so it IS the big, yellow orb in the sky! Glad someone finally admitted it.

The view that puny mankind can grossly affect the climate of an entire planet with our current level of technology is absurd. It is born of hubris, which itself is born of a lack of faith in G-d. That, and a total lack of scientific knowledge, scientific objectivity and common sense.

[TBP]

Either it’s global warming or it’s a Little Ice Age. The disasterphiles cannot just let the climate do what it does.

In Rochester NY we are. The worst winter in memory ... February the coldest month in history ... coldest spring in memory (and 6 weeks late) ... hard freeze in May the latest in history.
WTH is that globull warming stuff?

[bgill]

Wait. What? You mean we had a climate change 300 years ago?!? Wasn’t that before car exhaust and air conditioners polluted the world?

Looks like 10 and 6 meter DX will suffer. IIRC, if we had the Maunder Minimum today, amateur radio operators would lose long range comms on shortwave in the day and at night, most DX would take place on 160 and 80 meters.

On Youtube, there are videoes showing the harsh winter of 1962/63 in the UK. One is from the BBC, “snowy winter 60’s” where it shows home movies taken that winter set to the music of the time played by the noted BBC host, Brian Matthew, who, in his late 80’s, is still on the air today playing the same music. BTW, I liked the plethora of old UK cars like the Ford Corsairs, Prefects, Anglias and so forth.
