Another Ice Age?
Time Magazine ^ | Jun. 24, 1974

Posted on 07/09/2009 6:38:30 PM PDT by South40

As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval.

However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing.

This is almost certainly the second summer of the second LITTLE ice age, i.e. LIA-II.

Real ice ages had cosmic causes, and there is nothing on the horizon which could cause such a thing at present.

And yet, the G8 just agreed they must stop Global Warming.

A fine collection of Galloping Neaderthals they.

Rule of thumb that will never fail you: They are always wrong.

Its been one seriously cool June and now July this year. Most nights are getting down into the 50s with an occasional 40s thrown in for good measure.

Last night I saw that prism effect in the clouds due to ice crystals in the atmosphere. I don’t usually see that during the summer.

I heard it was 1998 and not 2001. No matter the trend is down. The climate fluctuates without any help from man. Always has. Global Warming is a big con job to put money into the pockets of the manipulators and traders.

Watch this space and mark my words:

The Democrats will pass draconian Global Warming legislation, then next election will claim that the overall cooler temperatures were a direct result of the actions they took.
