Global Warming Alert: "Mini Ice Age" on the Way

Yes this is just what they predicted when they changed all their predictions to match recent weather patterns.

Winter is coming.

Humanity is facing a long, cold winter which could see temperatures across the planet plunge to depressing lows.
That's the warning from a Nasa scientist who fears sunspot activity on the surface of our star has dropped so low that it could herald the arrival of a uniquely grim mini Ice Age.
'We see a cooling trend,' Martin Mlynczak of Nasa's Langley Research Center told Space Weather. 'High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy.
'If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.'

I forget who said it (apologies), but one of the greatest bits of snark ever written on this blog went something like this:

"If only there were some... external factor that could account for the variations in global temperature. Such a hypothetical external factor would have to be very large, though -- on the order of magnitude of our own Sun."

Holy shit last winter here was so cold I almost gave up my nightly walking. One night set the all time record for cold (It got down to -20 or -25 in the middle of the night). I went out when it was only around -12. It was like that all winter, not quite that cold but the coldest I could remember.

53 One look at the Vostok Ice Core data (which the Global Warming nuts always loved) is enough to tell you everything you need to know about the Earth and our climate. There is a clear climate period of about 100,000 years and we are currently at the unstable peak of the latest one. The next move is down. WAY DOWN. Over the next thousand(s) of years. I wish Global Warming were true, because we friggin need it!

101 It's been blatantly obvious to any layman who cared to read up on the topic that there was a good chance this was coming for, oh, nearly 20 years now. Those in various fields have known for far longer.

What I have to ask, though, is how fucking stupid did the left need to be in order to buy in so much to the anthropic global warming scam. And make no mistake, it is a scam - a very calculated, deliberate scam. Dozens of high profile researchers were in on it and cooperated with various lefty orgs to make it into dogma.

Those people were otherwise not stupid; they knew it was a scam. They discussed the scam among themselves (we know this from leaked emails). I can only assume that they bought into their own bullshit too much.

"Perhaps the most famous period of low sunspot activity was the Maunder Minimum of the 17th century. During that time, there was a 'little ice age' when the Thames froze over, although researchers believe that global warming will stop this happening again."

Bingo!

I wrote a DEVATSTING post about this:

https://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/01/31/ the-coming-of-the-new-ice-age- end-of-the-global-warming-era/?singlepage=true

"I just finished reading a terrifying new book about climate change. I learned this:

• Climate change is happening faster than we realize and it will have catastrophic consequences for mankind.

• There's very little we can do to stop it at this late stage, but we might be able to save ourselves if we immediately take these necessary and drastic steps:

- Increase our reliance on alternative energy sources and stop using so much oil and other carbon-based fuels;
- Adopt energy-efficient practices in all aspects of our lives, however inconvenient;

- Impose punitive taxes on inefficient or polluting activities to discourage them;

- Funnel large sums of money from developed nations like the U.S. to Third World nations;

- In general embrace all environmental causes.

You of course recognize these as the solutions most often recommended to ameliorate the looming crisis of Global Warming. But there's a little glitch in my narrative. Because although the book I read was indeed about climate change, it wasn't about Global Warming at all; it was instead about "The Coming of the New Ice Age," and it isn't exactly "new" — it was published in 1977.

The Solution Remains the Same

As many other pundits and analysts have pointed out, in the mid-to-late 1970s we endured a massive "climate change scare" that was the exact opposite of the one we're enduring now. Back then, the media and activists trumpeted the arrival of a new ice age, with the specter of ice sheets and glaciers covering half the northern hemisphere, and brutal winters in the remaining ice-free zones.

The fact that the media and popular culture and academia have veered from one panic-inducing disaster scenario to another one which completely contradicts the first one is funny enough in its own right. But reading The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age opened my eyes to an even more significant aspect of this serial crisis-mongering:

The "solutions" prescribed to solve both Global Warming and the looming Ice Age are exactly the same.

In both cases, proponents of the theory-du-jour say that in order to stave off disaster, we must reverse the march of civilization, stop our profligate use of carbon-based fuels, cede power and money from the First World to the Third World, and wherever possible revert to a Luddite pre-industrial lifestyle.

I realized: The solution (commit civilizational suicide) always remains the same; all that differs are the wildly divergent purported "crises" proffered up to justify the imposition of the solution."

Yep. The Left are self-hating nihilists.

The original is a classic and holds up very well. Ediie Murphy in his prime (along with Trading Places and 48 Hours). Perfect plot and villain. The sequels all sucked since the tension with the BHPD was gone and that wa a driving force in the original. Plus, Lisa Eilbacher was a major cutie.

211 63 I was told on the news the other day that scientists *just* discovered the ozone layer is "repairing itself" because we stopped using hairspray 30 years ago. They are utterly shameless.
Posted by: ... at November 16, 2018 04:13 PM (uEbPt)

Gotta respectfully disagree. That could be entirely legitimate. Ozone depletion from chlorofluorocarbons was entirely plausible scientifically, as the photolysis of CFCs does lead to chlorine atoms in the laboratory, and chlorine atoms do catalyze the decomposition of ozone to oxygen molecules, again in the laboratory.

The crucial word in the above sentence is "catalyze." Unlike global warming through the greenhouse effect of CO2, which presumably would be stoichiometric (meaning that a doubling of CO2 partial pressure would double the effect), even a small partial pressure of Cl atoms could have that effect. (Think dropping a lit match into gasoline; there's no point in dropping TWO such matches.)

So the science behind concerns about the ozone layer was entirely plausible. Similarly, with the reduction in use of CFCs, if the resultant partial pressure of Cl atoms were low enough, the ozone layer could regenerate faster than its catalytic decomposition (ozone results from UV photolysis of O2 in the upper atmosphere).

So I wouldn't ding scientists for this one. Everything they said is plausible and reasonable. Now the question is quantitative: how MUCH effect did CFCs have then, and now, and is it enough to account for the difference? I have no idea.

219 Just go to Wiki and look up "Ice Age".

The natural state of the earth is actually to be in an ice age.

For about 20K years we've been in a slightly warmer "interglacial period" in the middle of the 4th great ice age that we know of.

Yes, you read that correctly. Technically we are in the middle of one, but just in a slightly warmer period.

Not coincidently, this slightly warmer period perfectly tracks the rise of organized civilization, agriculture and language development.

Writing a very physically distinct character does make the movie hard to cast.

The Monster Hunter books would be very hard to make just from the required special effects needed.

The fact that the title charter is a six foot six, three hundred pound mixed race math genius might be a challenge to find.

Guess it is a good thing that the author is a 2nd amendment supporter so his books will likely never be made in to movies.

Sunshine is a GREAT movie! Inadvertently. The visuals are awesome, but the great part is that it details why you never want to take any lefties on critical missions.

I loved the part when the girl is whining about how she worries that everyone thinks she's an idiot for wanting to change the trajectory and head back to the old ship to save a person or two, the lefty physicist (yeah ... he wasn't much of a physicist, but ...) tells her that she was correct and then, BOOM!

Ordinal directions are a tool of the the imperialist white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriarchy, which blend the intercourse of the liminal zones to the point of negating the polarity of the multipoles that make up identity's peripheral metropole - and thus, following a post-Marxian version of Hegel, its metropolitan periphery, itself so analogically akin to the socio-economic-geographic-institutional-professional-cultural point we occupy in n-dimensional identity-space.

Ever see how they change the location of some 'Tropic' delineating sign that indicates where the sun is exactly overhead at a certain date every year? By moving it about a quarter mile further south, year, after year, after year.

Which to us in the northern areas of the USA is like us moving a quarter mile closer to Canada's climate... once again, year, after year, after year.

At one point, we were admonished not to use the word "cocksucker" in comments because it impacted the ad revenue. Apparently, ads for dick pills and Albanian Midget Mail Order Brides don't pay much.

At the same time, Teh Ewok made a pledge to stop using the word in his posts at the same time, preferring to substitute the ad-neutral euphemism "cockholster".

Of course, that went over about as well as could be expected, because.... Horde.

528 At the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry there's a whole giant exhibit showing how glaciers have melted since the 80s. The whole thing is romanticized... like we're supposed to miss the fucking ice. They actually have a great, giant piece of ice in the exhibit that you can touch and watch it slowly melting.

Anyway:

1) I'm not a glacierologist, but I assume that these things have been melting for 10,000 years. There's nothing special about the state they were in in 1980. Were no adults available to tell this to the children who made the exhibit?

2) And didn't the site of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry used to be under a mile and a half of ice? Why aren't we romanticizing *that* glacier?

Movies are possibly even worse than the books.

They're very formulaic and not in a good way. It doesn't help that the author is a Brit and a pothead and doesn't bother doing too much research on the US Military despite Jack Reacher's background as a MP being his central, defining justification for badassery.

Jack Reacher is supposed to be 6' 6" tall, not Tom Cruise tiny.
Posted by: rickb223 at November 16, 2018 05:17 PM (9vbJt)

Yup. And it's a problem. Though Cruise does good intensity, at least in the first movie. Until I walked out. I mean, I assume he kept the intensity at that level for the rest of the flick.

Thinking back to the books, though. I don't recall Reacher's size actually affecting anything, plot-wise. It never made any bad guys change their mind about him. It never intimidated government-types into leaving him alone. It's a character trait, but sort like how James Bond was originally supposed to look like Hoagy Carmichael.

that climate is too complex a phenomenon for them to analyze with any degree of certainty. They are like a bunch of monkeys trying to reverse engineer an operating system by typing randomly on the keyboard.

The backpedaling they do is amazing. Admit nothing. Always double down.

- first the icecaps would be gone within a few years. Then, after getting their ships stuck in the ice a few times, they admit the icecaps are expanding, but because the melting ice caused elevations to collapse, thus broadening the area.

- then ... within a few years we will have NO winters. Then end of snow. Then they admit, well yes, winters ARE getting colder, but that's because it's getting so warm at the poles that it weakened the polar vortex and allowed the cold air to escape, mumble, mumble...

- lately they've been making all sorts of vague, usually incorrect claims and insinuating it leads to global warming. Worldwide decreases in insects and vertebrates by 40%(!), loss of crops, hurricanes, tornadoes, sunken Hawaiian atolls, flooding in Venice, etc. Most of it chicken little nonsense.

666 The ratio of natural forces vs the effect of human activity is enormous. I'm not a climate change denier. Climate has been changing ever since the earth was a slightly higher density region in the swirling dust cloud around our proto-sun. The magnitude of the signal of natural forces pretty much makes the noise of human action almost entirely invisible.

And, if you're talking about dealing with global warming, global cooling, or any other modestly gradual change, capitalism is the best. I mean, the amount of money it would take for the government to make the temperature go up or down by 1 degree would be far, far more than what it would take for individuals to move 1 mile inland because flooding has become a bit too common. Best of all, you don't need to raise taxes for people to seek more favorable environments for themselves.

And in order to warm the Earth throughout the year, it would have to be located somewhere very near the center of the Solar system. But 97% of Hollywood astrologers point out the flaw in this right-wing conspiracy theory: that this is where the Sun is already located, so it would be impossible for such an influence to be located there, you knuckle-draggers!

677 If you look on wattsupwiththat, the worlds largest climate website, you will see multiple threads about this sort of thing. On those threads, an actual solar scientist has shown (multiple times) that the sun has repeatedly gone through extended quiet and active phases, and the Earths temperatures have not changed in phase, or even near in phase, with that. The Earth seems to ignore what the sunspots are doing.

If the sunspots caused temperature difference, we would see regular swings in temperature every 11 years, when the sun increases or decreases activity, at the very least. We do not.

The only possible place where there might be any correlation was during the "mini ice age", when the sun was quiet multiple times and at length, as in over 100 years all told, or more. So, wait 100 years, maybe something will happen.

Meanwhile, about actual ice ages, which DO happen, it depends on the Earths "progression" around the sun, how it is tilted relative to the sun. It is now tilted for cooling and ice age, expected any time in the next 3000 years. So, we need to avoid this, drive a bigger car.
