US Navy Physicist warns of possibly 'several decades of crushing cold temperatures and global famine'

By Retired U.S. Navy Physicist and Engineer James A. Marusek

2 Apr 09 – Excerpts: “The sun has gone very quiet as it transitions to Solar Cycle 24.

“Since the current transition now exceeds 568 spotless days, it is becoming clear that sun has undergone a state change. It is now evident that the Grand Maxima state that has persisted during most of the 20th century has come to an abrupt end.

“(The sun) might (1) revert to the old solar cycles or (2) the sun might go even quieter into a “Dalton Minimum” or a Grand Minima such as the “Maunder Minimum”. It is still a little early to predict which way it will swing. Each of these two possibilities holds a great threat to our nation.

“We are now at a crossroad. Two paths lie before us. Both are marked with a signpost that reads “Danger”! Down one path lies monstrous solar storms. Down the other path lies several decades of crushing cold temperatures and global famine.”

$160 a ton? Criminy I need to get that and a stove.

"The Ice Age is comin'
The sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river..."

Here's some help...

The “proto” sunspots were “magical thinking”. They didn’t happen. We are not yet into Cycle 24.

After some more searching, I rediscovered the name of the scientist who proposed the delayed ice-age theory — William F. Ruddiman. If you do a search on his name, and ice age, you'll find lots of articles about the subject.

Here are a some links:

He's actually saying that humans started to have an effect on climate about 8,000 years ago — with the beginnings of agriculture. The greenhouse gases we've put into the atmosphere since then have delayed the next ice age. Ruddiman estimates it should have started as much as 2,000 years ago.

Anyhow, this does offer an alternative theory. In a “debate” with a warmist, you could even concede that humans can effect climate. Then you could add: “And it's a good thing too, otherwise half the planet would be covered in glaciers right now.” That should leave the warmist flummoxed.

Big whoopee, I live in Alaska, I cherish cold weather.

There were MILLIONS of humans 5,000 years ago when they took actions to delay reglaciation of North America.

She is lovely.

But, I must have more help! :0)

Living for tens of thousands of years in a remarkably cold, dry climate left many of my ancestors immune to cholera, bubonic plague, etc. (about a dozen diseases).

I suspect my decendants will benefit.

Thank you. Prompted me to do a search. The following is from some worldhistory.com site. I didn’t realize there were that many folks around!

Global warming and getting rid of Carbon based emmisions is causing the earth to get cold ! Time to get Al Gore and Tar and Feather him

Fire up those carbon emissions to save the planet. Lets get cracking!

Quick everyone, go out and buy a SUV

[DBrow]

Excellent research, time wel spent. Thanks!

It would be nice to have a President educated in things involving science. Instead we have a liberally indoctrinated dunce

WASHINGTON (AP) - The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.
