Sir Fred Hoyle Vindicated
(Via Dr. Benny Peiser of the GWPF)
According to new research to be published in Nature Geoscience (embargoed until 1800 GMT/10AM PST, Sunday 8 January 2012), the next ice age could set in any time
this millennium where it not for increases in anthropogenic CO2 emissions that are preventing such a global disaster from occurring.
The new research confirms the theory developed by the late Sir Fred Hoyle and Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe in the 1990s that without increased levels of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere ‘the drift into new ice-age conditions would be inevitable.’
Hoyle and Wickramasinghe published their controversial idea in CCNet in July 1999:

By Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe
[...] The problem for the present swollen human species is of a drift back into an ice-age, not away from an ice-age. Manifestly, we need all the greenhouse we can get, even to the extent of the British Isles becoming good for the growing of vines….
The renewal of ice-age conditions would render a large fraction of the world’s major food-growing areas inoperable, and so would inevitably lead to the extinction of most of the present human population. Since bolide impacts cannot be called up to order, we must look to a sustained greenhouse effect to maintain the present advantageous world climate. This implies the ability to inject effective greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the opposite of what environmentalists are erroneously advocating. …

fyi
Fat chance....The next ice age will come when it wants to.
I am sick of these faux and pseudo climate scientist.
104 Responses to Increased CO2 Emissions Will Delay Next Ice Age
Scripps blockbuster: Ocean acidification happens all the time — naturally
Cheers!
I somewhat doubt that all the CO2 we could possibly create would keep the next ice age from happening. But it is nice to see someone talking about the other side of the climate coin re CO2 for a change. Does anyone really think that 90,000 years of bitter cold and constant raging winds is going to be a good thing?
I seriously doubt it.
It’ll delay it by about, oh, a day at most.
We’ve been in an ice age for 3 million years or so.
What’s coming is the next glaciation.
And the trivial amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is not going to delay it.
Since there seems to be some confusion about all this, I’ll explain it for all you scientists and activists.
It’s going to get really cold. There will be really cool things to find on the beaches as the oceans recede. We’ll all be dead of old age by then, and so will be our grandchildren and theirs.
Oh, and if you believe we didn’t land on the moon, that the WTC was imploded, or that homeopathy works, take some Thorazine.
One thing liberals can all agree on: We’re doomed!!!!
Global Warming on Free Republic
Yeah. I remember Global Cooling in the 70s. An Ice Age was coming to kill mankind. But Global Cooling died it's death when the predictions (and computer models) failed.
After this it was Global Warming, there would be no polar bears, no snow in England and hurricanes galore hitting the United States. None of that happened, so Global Warming had to die.
Right now it's called Global Climate Change with warnings of Apocalyptic disasters in 2012.
But now, Possible Ice Age? Perhaps they are going to trot out Global Cooling again?
This reminds me of the Boy who Cried Wolf...
Actually, they can. Our present technology is adequate to allow us to "steer" comets to impact with the earth.
Major possible negative side-effects, of course, depending on where the comet impacts.
