Thanks for asking that question. I'm looking for the answer now. In the meantime, here's more info about Dr Abdussamatov's work:
It took just six months for a warm and sunny Europe to be engulfed in ice, according to new research.
Previous studies have suggested the arrival of the last Ice Age nearly 13,000 years ago took about a decade - but now scientists believe the process was up to 20 times as fast.
Geological sciences professor William Patterson, who led the research, said: 'It would have been very sudden for those alive at the time. It would be the equivalent of taking Britain and moving it to the Arctic over the space of a few months.' Professor Patterson's findings emerged from one of the most painstaking studies of climate changes ever attempted and reinforce the theory that the earth's climate is unstable and can switch between warm and cold incredibly quickly.
His conclusions, published in New Scientist, are based on a study of mud deposits extracted from a lake in Western Ireland, Lough Monreagh - a region he describes as having the 'best mud in the world in scientific terms'. Professor Patterson used a precision robotic scalpel to scrape off layers of mud just 0.5mm thick. Each layer represented three months of sediment deposition, so variations between them could be used to measure changes in temperature over very short periods.
He found that temperatures had plummeted, with the lake's plants and animals rapidly dying over just a few months. The subsequent mini Ice Age lasted for 1,300 years and was probably caused by the sudden emptying of Lake Agassiz in Canada, which burst its banks and poured freezing freshwater into the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
Sadly for the AGW left, the climate cycles recorded in ice and sediment cores goes back millions of years, which is prima facie evidence that man has nothing to do with changing climate.
I’ve lived in Las Vegas for the past 11 years and this is the most rain by far in the time I’ve spent here. We usually get thunderstorms occasionally during the summer but not winter rains.
It’s coming. Far more deadly than warming.
Agreed. We are going to have many difficult years going forward. Just some final preps this summer here.
Really nasty this winter in the island Northwest. Twenty degrees below average today, still snowing in March. Some places just south of town, have five feet of snow piled up.
About ten years ago, I heard a radio show featuring a PhD climatologist from the University of Washington who predicted a new ice age instead of global warming. “How did the last ice age begin?” the the announcer asked.
“One day it just started snowing and didn’t stop.”
We've already set back a year's supply of staple foodstuffs, and are in the process of turning our whole back yard into food crops.
I also transformed our arsenal over the last year. I'm very happy with it now, but will continue stocking ammo until it's unavailable.
We've done a lot of other preps as well, but I sure wish I'd been aware of the coming solar minimum much earlier. My wife and I feel like we've been in a mad dash to catch up for a solid year. Still, we're a thousand times better prepared for this, than people who aren't paying attention at all.
Those folks are going to go through a horrific experience.
You know what the hardest part is about preparing for the coming freeze? Staying analytical, and avoiding the temptation to succumb to normalcy bias.
Little voice in the back of my mind keeps saying, "What if they're wrong? What if it just cools off a few years, then warms up again? Am I overreacting?"
Then I review the scientific literature, and that little voice shuts up.
Took my sled out for the last ride of the season today.
Time for the Ministry of Truth to purge all stories about global warming.
I just went and bought a v8 tahoe.
Doing my part.
You could run every car ever made all at once for decades and the difference would range from negligible to unmeasurable. Save your money to buy heating stocks ...
What’s really frightening, is that these mini ice ages (grand solar minimums) can literally start on a dime. I’m talking warm age to ice age in less than a year’s time.
Now be really frightened:
Some years back - perhaps in the early days for the internet there was a valid study published that the 2 KM high glaciers of the Ice Age formed in as little as 100 years ...
OT
I had a discussion here on a similar post a month ago in which I cited the Watts per sq/m and was rebuked that watts is incorrect usage of electrical measurement - so be prepared.
All of Wisconsin is just now about to leave the 10-15 deg below average temperature period and return to a normal average.
North Texas could become pretty tough, weather-wise.
Hope your aquifer/well is sturdy as well.
We are north Georgia and could shift normal crops to those normally grown in Wisconsin.
Plus the greenhouses ...
“We only have thirteen years left on Earth...” to redistribute money under the scam of global warming. By then it will be too obvious that it’s getting colder out.
HERESY, LOCK THEM UP!
Heretics! Deniers!
Principia Scientific is NOT a credible source.
“Says who? You? “
Yup.
And Dr. Roy Spencer, noted climate skeptic.
The “Slayers” as they are known, are fringe. In their efforts to refute AGW, they deny that a GHE exists, and use ridiculous non-scientific, non-physics rationales.
They give AGW skeptics a bad name.
“I find the information in post number four to be very credible.”
The Ludecke paper looks credible, the others I’m not sure. If arguing with Warmists, use the authors, best not to mention Principia Scientifica. Unless you enjoy being ridiculed.
