Some correlations...from Watts Up With That?:

What in the world is going on with global temperatures?

Multiple indicators show global temperatures headed down this month, and fast.

by Joe D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow

As shown above (see the datapoint in the square box), the UAH AMSU daily temperatures are the coldest for the globe at 600mb of all the years tracked since 2002 (warmest 2010, previously coldest 2009).

The new Dr. Ryan Maue reanalysis based global temperature anomalies has declined dramatically this month – almost a full degree Celsius!

Forecasts for temperature 8 days in advance are appended to the reanalysis values.

Is this a reflection of the stratospheric warming pushing the cold to middle latitudes?

The cross section suggests that initial warm burst has ended. Often they repeat as the cold reloads and dumps again.

The article title speaks of a 4.7 degree C drop in temperature in the next decades. That is close to 7 degrees F. The drop during the Maunder Minimum, “Little Ice Age” was nowhere near that severe. Here is a world map showing temperatures during the MM. You will see that the cold areas of North America and Europe were .7 degrees C and perhaps slightly more. This is around 1.5 degrees F.

Don’t believe this alarmist fertilizer. The only way we are going to have that huge a drop is with a major volcano like Tambora or Toba, or a giant meteor strike.
