Cold is Coming
We need low-cost energy to survive the future cold. It will be wise for us to begin voting for people who will be realistic about nature and our climate.
The following article by me appeared in the Daily Interlake on Sunday, March 29, page C9.
Global warming is DOA
Through
March 15, 2009, 14 major weather stations in Alberta recorded their
lowest March temperatures since the 1880s.
Canadian weather stations broke records on March 10:
-
Edmonton International Airport reported an overnight low of -41.5 C, smashing the previous March low of -29.4 C set in 1975 by 12 C (22 F).
-
Lloydminster hit
-35.2 C breaking its old March record of -29.2 C.
-
Fort McMurray broke its 1950 record with a reading of -39.9C.
-
Cold Lake, Slave
Lake, Whitecourt, Peace River, High Level, Jasper and Banff, and
other communities recorded record cold temperatures.
Something is happening and it is not global warming. Global temperatures have been falling for at least the past five years according to NASA's weather satellites.
In
2008, Anchorage had the fewest 70 degree days since 1917. Alaska
glaciers grew for the first time in 250 years. Arctic sea ice has
grown this winter to an extent not seen since 1980.
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (of the northern Pacific ocean current) has entered its long-term low temperature phase. The present sunspot minimum mirrors the solar cycle that preceded the 100-year Dalton Minimum cold period of the 1800s.
The Leibniz Institute of Marine Science, the Max
Planck Institute of Meteorology in Germany, the University of
Wisconsin and several other scientists have forecast global cooling
for at least 10 to 20 years.
Don't worry about the polar bears or melting
glaciers. Worry about yourself. Your heating and electric bills are
going to skyrocket if we don't get moving fast on using our coal
energy to produce electricity with no restrictions on carbon dioxide
emissions.
Our problem is not global warming. Our problem is
the political agenda of the environmental groups that is trying to
restrict and tax our use of energy on the basis of their
pseudo-scientific delusion that carbon dioxide is heating our
planet.
We must become politically active now to stop the global warming political agenda or we will pay dearly for our loss of energy freedom (and heat) in the next 20 years.
The Montana phrase, "Cold
enough fer ya?" is
going to take on a whole new meaning.

Here is a

article by Per Strandberg, M.S., physics:
Unfortunately preparing for global cooling and its consequences
is something that the world is not doing, instead, because of the
current delusional state of climatology science which has been
distorted by an eco-fundamentalistic and political agenda, the world
is now preparing for global warming and is fighting the perceived
menace from increasing levels of greenhouse gases.
I find it scary that nobody is discussing the coming cooling except for a few
people active in forums dedicated to solar changes and solar
physics. It's a total news blackout, yet it is the most important
earth change that is about to happen in the near future.
Actually, it has already started in small scale. The signs of a
cooling world are all over, but nobody seems to be able to connect
the dots and link this to the current changes on the Sun.
A lot is happening with the climate right now. All important
temperature measurements on the Earth average temperature show a
temperature change of 0.5-0.7 temperature degree centigrade between
January 2007 and January 2008. The biggest change came last month.
You saw this vital climate news in the news media, didn't you?
Of course you didn't!
The reason for this not being news is because the temperature
change went the wrong way.
This temperature change if it stays, means that almost all
warming from the last 100 years has been wiped out.
The result of this global cooling which we are entering now and
the policies which the politicians are trying to implementing in
order to fight global warming will have devastating consequences.
The net combined result of this will be the maximal creation
possible of world-wide poverty, widespread famine and human misery.
This would be good thing for the environment as a large chunk of
people in poor overpopulated countries will die from starvation
which will result in reduced pressure on natural resources as it
will lower humanity's environmental footprint.
This is a good thing if you have a cynical mind. To put it bluntly.
Right now the prices of wheat and corn have reached record
levels. This is happening even before the effects from global
cooling have started to affect world-wide food production on a
large scale. Most of the cause for the current price increase is
bio-fuel production. This is a fuel production method
which when investigated by experts is shown not to reduce the total
amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, instead it is likely to
increase it.
The knowledge that we now are entering a period of severe cooling
has been known by solar physicists and the cause of this has been
known for a long time, but this has been censured by the
climatologist elite. This is even true today.
The news media don't report that the current solar cycle is of
record length, that the Sun's activity is extremely low and that
this is now initiating the return of The Little Ice Age, even when
the signs of cold weather are all over the world.
This global cooling of the Earth in the immediate future will
have big impact on human society and affect most people. The effects
will be devastating, yet nearly nobody knows about it.
I have created this manifest describing the action which should
be taken.
Global Cooling Emergency Manifest!
The Earth is now entering a phase with unstoppable and dramatic
global cooling which will initiate a new Little Ice Age within the
next decade. The cause of this cooling is the predicted and now real
reduction in solar activity that we now can see. These conditions
will persist during the next solar cycles.
This will have a devastating effect on agriculture, lowering food
production and increase the risk of widespread famine. This will
also increase the demand for fuel.
The world is misinformed and ill-prepared for this now imminent
and real climate change. This lack of information has been made
worse because of the perceived temperature increase which has been
expected due to current global warming alarm.
-
We demand that the IPCC meet in an emergency meeting to set up plans for the mitigation and adaptation from the effect of Climate Cooling.
-
We demand that all nations stop bio-fuel production using food crop.
-
We demand that the actions in the Kyoto protocol to be abolished.
-
We demand that emergency food supplies are built up in order to help ease future famine as a result of reduction in worldwide food production from global cooling.
-
We demand that plans are set up to meet the increasing energy demand of heating and transportation in a cooler world.
-
We encourage news media to report on the Sun's waning activity.
-
We encourage news media to inform the public that the current reduction in solar activity is leading to an unstoppable and prolonged world wide cooling event.
Research by Henrik Svensmark a Danish Physicist, suggests a strong link between solar activity, cloud cover and Earth's climate.
