Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
Pravda ^ | 1/11/09 | staff

Posted on 01/11/2009 7:10:15 AM PST by xtinct

The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.

Soviet (and now Russian) scientists have long held this view. I don’t believe they give much credence to the West’s theory of AGW except where it can be used as propaganda against the West.

...on the other hand, when has Pravda been considered a reliable source? Oh, wait... AP, NYT, Wash Post, Time, Newsweek...I guess it is at the same level of credibility

Strange how one-sided propagandists always seem to lose credibility... Even if they were telling the truth, we would doubt them. Is the New York Times this blind?

“What do you suppose really goes through algores mind when he hears this stuff? “

He thinks, “Good thing we changed it to ‘Climate Change’ so we could cover our bases.”

Pravda: just another msm now.

The key word is Climate Change that way they can cover both bases.

“ICE AGE!!!!!!!!! AND GLOBAL WARMING IS THE CAUSE OF IT!!!”

Wrong, Bush is the culprit of all evils the world has ever known and will ever know. You’re right though, even when things cool off (like this current year for instance), the lefties just adjust their lingo a bit and say it’s due to ‘climate change’ and leave out the warming bit. Who cares about little things like facts and evidence - when you can, for instance, elect a president with no public record and no public records. If I were a leftist, why should I give a flip about the facts of anything? All that matters to these freaks is spin.

To put a slightly more positive spin on this - at least the lefties favorite authority - the commie papers - are going under in the droves. Now even they will have a hard time getting out a unified deception (er, message.)

Imagine a 30’ deep glacier covering NY city. What other proof do we need that there IS a God!

What do you suppose really goes through algores mind when he hears this stuff?

GBA: Great question. I’m impressed that he was able to convince so many to buy into the global warming thing, literally buy into it.

That has got to be a measure for how totally ignorant the American (and world) public is.

I'll have to pull out my 4 inch refract or and have a look. But as of 3 days ago. No viewable sunspots, now if you are a NASA satelite you might be able to detect a tiny spot here and there, however that is not (IMHO) a viewable sunspot.

Yankees?
Well- I like blond nordic types,so an influx of gorgeous blue eyed men would not be a bad thing- and if they bring clams with them they can make me lots of chowder. I’ll teach them how to make gumbo and we’ll bake a lot!

I believe it was a money grab from the git go. Tell enough stupid people something, scare them, then offer them absolution via green living, then market the green products, eureka! fortunes for the fortune tellers, poverty and discomfort for the stupid and even those who know better are required to share in it.

There were sunspots last year too. There just haven’t been daily sunspots last year, but that may change soon. Why bother pulling out a scope when you can access SOHO online?

Wow, I clicked the link and started reading the story. Then I noticed the photo galleries - this is NOT your father’s Pravda! If you start feeling a chill because of the coming cooling, click those galleries on because there are some HOT photos. Most be the Commie plot to weaken our morals-—
