Same dire predictions, same cast of characters... only the direction of temperature has changed. What frauds they all are

Perhaps, but perhaps not. The evidence has been grownig for some time that earth's climate often takes extreme swings. And the ones to COLD seem to happen pretty quickly.

I suppose since I'm in San Antonio, I should welcome some cooling, but likely as not it will come at the expense of even less rain. Meanwhile the soil in most tropical and near tropical regions is the pits, compared to the "good stuff" left over as a result of the last ice age, which. It often shallow and alkaline, or depleted as a result of being sapped by the trees of the "rain forrest" (aka jungle), but would have the distinct advantage of not being under the ice, should another ice age approximating the last several come upon us.

Actually, I think the case for Global Cooling is much better than Global Warming. Interglacials run about 10,000 years and the one we're in is already past that mark. Odds are, the ice is coming, unless, of course, the extra carbon dioxide we're pumping into the atmosphere turns out to be a boon to mankind. But who can know? Certainly not the general public, which is spoon-fed politically charged bits of junk science from "scientists" motivated by pure left-wing politics.
