Millions will starve if we do nothing to prepare for it (such as planning changes in agriculture to compensate)

I agree that we are headed for 800 years of cooler weather (I show the temp graphs below that show the ~sinusoidal variance of climate temperature over the last 1000 years) but the LAST thing I would do is invite Government to do anything about it. Get the Government out of the way!

Then we got jipped. Only a century of warming, where in the past they got several centuries of warm temps between cooling periods

But it doesn't really matter, even during the Little Ice age there were still El Ninos & heatwaves, the AGW crowd will just highlight those and no matter how cold the actual temps get they will just continue to "Hansenize" the data to show it getting warmer & warmer. Just look at last month, even with a massive La Nina sitting out there in the pacific they claim March 2008 was globally the 2nd warmest month ever.

I read this guy's entire article, and I felt that his hype was just as catastrophe-oriented as the global warming hype. The reason humans are still around is because we adapt to our changing environment. That being said, I have read similar articles on the effect of the sun (sunspots) on our climate (without the hyperbole), from several different sources, so I am tending toward agreeing that we are probably cooling.

What I am much more worried about is how quickly the ethanol boondoggle has affected our food supply and distribution. Will anyone have the guts to stand up and say "whoah!, we missed something here and we need to take a step back"?
