“These three factors suggest a cooling is about to begin. In fact, there are a number of measures, such as ocean heat content (which has not increased in the last 4 years), satellite-derived atmospheric temperatures, and ocean and land temperatures, which are all showing a cooling period over the last 5 to 8 years. It is possible either 1998 or 2001 will end up being the peak of this current warm cycle”.
For me this part of the article about possibly entering a cooling cycle was the most provocative. I’ve seen that discussed elsewhere and it’s far more alarming than increased warming if it’s true.
” I’ve seen that discussed elsewhere and it’s far more alarming than increased warming if it’s true.”
I’ve seen speculation about cooling. I’ve also seen what can be attributed to the last round of cooling. It’s not very pretty. Not to mention that it’s much more difficult for the planet to warm after cooling, than to cool after warming.
