Timeline fits nicely with a President Hillary Rodham Clinton at the end of the world.

[tx_eggman]

Does this mean the seven year tribulation has started

lions and tigers and bears ... oh, my

[RexBeach]

Doomed!!!!!!

Have these guys ever heard of the Little Ice Age?

Geesh.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Sometimes global warming is helpful. Such as if it hadn't been for the last global warming period, there would still be a glacier from Minnesota to New Orleans.

What a load of crap...

[Thom Pain]

British moonbats are still moonbats. They just talk funny.

Tony, you're a great leader in the WOT but you're not a climate expert. I would quiet down about this subject or you're going to end up looking stupid.

[PeteB570]

Tony B. needs to jump on down the page to the Mini Ice Age thread.

No sweat, in about 10 years things will start to cool down.

[Puppage]

Doomed!!!!!!

As doomed can be!

[not2worry]

Probably 3 years longer than what we are faced with being annihilated by the likes of AQ!

Right now I could give a frick about climate decisions when we got Nukes being developed in the ME.

IMHO, the politicians are fiddling while Rome is burning. Can't they smell the smoke from France, Denmark, Spain or the UK?

[HEY4QDEMS]

What a dumbass, he obviously is not paying attention to the other climate scientists.

None of them would say seven years because there is a good chance they might be alive when the deadline passes.

Wake up Tony, you should have said 70 years, soon enough to scare people yet late enough so you don't have to answer questions when your wrong.

Dumbass.

Coming Next: Scientist predicts 'mini Ice Age'

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1573488/posts

A Russian astronomer has predicted that Earth will experience a "mini Ice Age" in the middle of this century, caused by low solar activity.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov of the Pulkovo Astronomic Observatory in St. Petersburg said Monday that temperatures will begin falling six or seven years from now, when global warming caused by increased solar activity in the 20th century reaches its peak, RIA Novosti reported.

The coldest period will occur 15 to 20 years after a major solar output decline between 2035 and 2045, Abdusamatov said.

Dramatic changes in the earth's surface temperatures are an ordinary phenomenon, not an anomaly, he said, and result from variations in the sun's energy output and ultraviolet radiation.

The Northern Hemisphere's most recent cool-down period occurred between 1645 and 1705. The resulting period, known as the Little Ice Age, left canals in the Netherlands frozen solid and forced people in Greenland to abandon their houses to glaciers, the scientist said.

Why is it that politicians can forcast the weather 50 years in advance, but the National Weather Service can't seem to do so 7 days in advance?

[Semper Paratus]

In 1994 Ted Danson said the world had only 12 years left to save itself.

Just when I was starting to believe there was a GAS shortage.

[upcountryhorseman]

Better figure out how to control those volcanos! They emit most of the nasty gases.

[whitedog57]

China will NEVER cooperate. So what is the point?

[cinives]

temperatures will begin falling six or seven years from now

Now, isn't that convenient. We cripple the US economy and in 7 years, when it would happen naturally anyhow, the greenie socialists get to say see, it was because of us that the human race still exists.

What, they think we're that stupid ?

[rwfromkansas]

Actually, we are on a cycle that probably will lead to cooling within 10 years or so. Yes, global warming is real....but not even remotely close to as bad as the alarmists tell you.
