Some Russsian scientists are predicting this will last for 200 years. My question is how would they know if the period of reduced solar energy will last for only 200 years? Why not 10 or 12 thousand like the major ice ages?
I guess it doesn't much matter the length. If it's cold during your life and your children's life, all you can do is deal with it.
Yup, just like last year and the year before. Oh, and once again, this hurricane season will be the worst we’ve ever seen.
Fine by me. Love the cold.
Could sleep in mid 40 degree outside and be comfortable.
I can’t say that The Farmer’s Almanac has a strong statistical association with predictive weather patterns, but NOAA isn’t much better.
OOPS!
The Russians have been running their weather war machine for decades. The “Russian Woodpecker” continued during the worse part of their economic collapse. Meanwhile our “HARP” system seems quiet. The Russians would have a better outlook on weather than our Gore Bull warming cult.
And people thought that when Obama talked about this being the time that the seas receded and the climate change began to reverse, he was just blowing smoke....
Cold in winter?? Who would have thought.
Normally August here in Ga. is HOT so far it’s
hardly broken 90 this week in the low 80s and
60 last night. I love it and hope for a cold
and early winter.
It’s orbital mechanics (of planets) and plasma currents in the sun. The lower the solar currents the lower the solar output. From what I’ve read the sun’s wobble and currents will be very low for the next several decades. This is the first I’ve read of a 200 year duration.
Obviously, they don't, but their theories are probably based on ice cores and tree ring samples, coupled with solar historical records, such as they are.
Granted, there's a lot of extrapolation done from the relatively shorter solar cycles.
Warm globally, cool locally!!!
If the quoted 80% correct prediction rate is accurate, that’s 5x what the locals can boast. Isn’t the “European Model” more accurate than the “US Model”?

2013: Man-made Global Climate change is the reason we have fewer hurricanes and colder winters.
In deep Mississippi, my red oaks are shedding leaves a month and a half early.
