CHICAGO – A new "Little Ice Age" could begin in just four years, predicted Habibullo Abdussamatov, the head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia.
Abdussamatov was speaking yesterday at the Heartland Institute's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago, which began Sunday and ends today.
The Little Ice Age, which occurred after an era known in scientific circles as the Medieval Warm Period, is typically defined as a period of about 200 years, beginning around 1650 and extending through 1850.
In the first of a two-part video WND recorded at the conference, Abdussamatov explained that average annual sun activity has experienced an accelerated decrease since the 1990s. In 2005-2008, he said, the earth reached the maximum of the recent observed global-warming trend.
In Part 2 of the video, Abdussamatov further explained that through 2014 the earth will go through a series of unstable variations in which global temperature will oscillate around the maximum reached in the years 1998-2005.
In 2003-2005, Abdussamatov predicted a reduction of sunspot activity that would reach a new minimum in 2042, resulting in a deep global temperature minimum in the years 2055-2060.
"My predictions are looking better and better with each passing year," Abdussamatov declared.

Well, so much for the world ending in 2012.
Good one!
Except for the volcanos is Iceland, I wouldn’t give a kopeck for his prediction.
Ping.
Actually it is going to begin on August 17, 2014, at 11:33pm.
He's been busy getting fake doctorate degrees at my alma mater. Which, in a way, is a good thing. Now I don't have to feel guilty about not giving them money.
I just added that to my Outlook calendar.
I would like to see a wrestling match between this Russian and Al Gore. ;0)
There isn't even a real consensus with respect to the cause of the either the last major ice age, or the little mini ice age in the second millennium AD. People have pegged everything from solar activity to ocean currents to subtle shifts in the earth's tilt or orbit of the Sun. Until someone knows conclusively what cause the last ice age(s), they won't have ANY idea when the next one is coming.
Is that GMT?
The climate gets warmer, it’s our fault
The climage gets colder, it’s our fault
The only way to fix it is to have various left wing, big government organizations spend billions or trillions of dollars.
They say they have to fix it for our own good. They guilt gullible idiots into voting them. Then they rewrite the rules to take whatever they want from us and spend it however they see fit. It’s the very nature of statism and this very method runs true through every cause du jour whether it’s Global Warming, Health Care, Immigration etc...it’s always the same.
It’s our fault and they’d be able to fix it if they only had more of our money. I’ll never understand why anyone anywhere does not understand this basic truth.

100,000-Year Climate Pattern Linked To Sun's Magnetic Cycles:
ScienceDaily (Jun. 7, 2002) HANOVER, N.H.
Thanks to new calculations by a Dartmouth geochemist, scientists are now looking at the earth's climate history in a new light. Mukul Sharma, Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth, examined existing sets of geophysical data and noticed something remarkable: the sun's magnetic activity is varying in 100,000-year cycles, a much longer time span than previously thought, and this solar activity, in turn, may likely cause the 100,000-year climate cycles on earth. This research helps scientists understand past climate trends and prepare for future ones.

These people need to get their act together. Is it getting hotter or colder?
Where is Al Gore when you need him.
When can we start panicking over this latest “prediction”?
It is getting hot(ter) in the summer.
It is getting cold(er) in the winter.
Same as always. These predictions aren’t worth the
paper or cyber space they’re written on/in!!
In other words...it goes up...it goes down....
Completely random...
Can't let a good crisis -- real or imagined -- go to waste!
Gee, and the mini Ice Age predicted in the 1970’s was soooo horrific, we just finished thawing out here....(laughing)
We are in a sun spot low. Here is the past few years and the predictions for the next few years.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
