I'm positively gleeful about the prospect of runaway global warming - anthropogenic (i.e., man caused) or otherwise. You see, we've got the solution to global warming. It's air conditioning. Eureka - the future is bright!
But what if it doesn't get warmer? What if it gets colder?
If some solar physicists are correct, the sun's magnetic activity may impact world temperature more than man-made greenhouse gases. And the sun's magnetic activity appears to be slowing.
For more than 200 years, scientists have noted a correlation between sunspots (areas of intense magnetic activity) and temperature, even if they weren't quite sure how sunspots affected climate. In 1801, the "King's Astronomer," William Herschel, noted a relationship between the number of sunspots and the price of wheat. Fewer sunspots meant colder temperatures, less wheat production, and higher prices.

Global cooling is possible.
Global taxation is definite.
I predict, here and now, that over the next 10 years the global climate will vary.
It was colder this morning. Frozen actually, and all the deciduous plants are suffering, even the paper birch looking kind of in shock. Unusual by the 30 some years I personally know of here.
I can see it now: People freezing with all that oil and natural gas right under their feet. People had better get some common sense in their heads instead of pure indoctrination.

This is all it has ever really been about. Period.
I’ll up that to 20 years, ah heck make it a hundred years.
We have had a particularly cool Spring here in MD. So much so, I told my wife that if it doesn’t warm up soon, I am going to keep my car running in the driveway.
Pretty soon we will be giving carbon credits for people to CONSUME gas. We will need more CO2 in the atmosphere to keep it warm.
And when all is said and done, COLD is the FINAL state of all......
What if? It already is colder. We’re still waiting for summer to start in Minneapolis!

We aren’t approaching a minimum. We’re already in one.
We’ve been cool and WET in Howard County MD. The wet is good, we finally are through with last year’s drought...but summertime should be in full force by now.
It’s all about your Globalness. It’s about raising the cash.
Whatever climate, political or otherwise their goal is to justify a final Global authority over the whole world.
There is a spirit out there that wants to rule the whole planet. All at once.
Let it rip.
In the end, after quite a struggle and a lot of delusions.
God has other plans and will marvelously save Israel.
Ah, we'll stay nice and toasty in our homes as we starve to death because of cold-induced crop failures. I feel better already.
Excellent point. I live in the Low Desert, and almost every summer a few unprepared souls are found dead from exposure in remote areas -- but often with untouched bottles of water or soda in their vehicle. Why didn't they drink the soda? Who knows?
But it's eerily apropos of our energy crisis today, isn't it?
I get confused by these guys too. We are in a minimum. However, the next cycle was supposed to kick off earlier and hasn’t really got going yet, although I believe there have been a few sunspots for this new cycle (there is an overlap). Some models from years ago predicted it would get going in the spring of 2007. Then they changed it to February 2008.
So - some believe that this indicates that the maximum that we will be heading into will have fairly low sunspot numbers. (So - a minimum maximum??!!). I think that is the key - although I think it would take two or more of these cycles (11 years per cycle) with low numbers to bring about severe cooling.
You mean to tell me that the SUN has some effect on Warming the Earth!
The next thing you'll tell me is that 99.999999998% of the earth's weather comes from the solar energy, (the rest comes from those close stars! Maybe!). furthermore ALL of the Earth's energy sources, be it oil, coal, gas, tidal and geothermal energy comes from the SUN!
By Gosh and By Golly! Someone should pass me the Oscar Meyer Weiners!
And I’ll bet that you didn’t need billions of dollars in tax money and years of government funded research to come to that conclusion!!! :)

That is why I would not be surprised to see Obama elected. Part of God’s plan. Free will on our part. Why the US is not in Bible prophesy as a viable nation.
