Evidence that the planet is tip-toeing towards the onset of a new mini ice age continues to present itself following unprecedented ice storms in Kenya as well as Sydney experiencing its coldest August for 60 years. But don’t worry because according to the World Wildlife Fund, global cooling can just as easily be blamed on CO2 emissions as can global warming.
The cold snap arrives on the back of the Sun reaching a milestone not observed in nearly 100 years - the entire month of August passed without a single sunspot being noted.
Lack of solar activity in 2008 has coincided with evidence of a cooling trend across the world.
Earlier this year, China experienced its coldest winter in 100 years while northeast America was hit by record snow levels and Britain suffered its coldest April in decades as late-blooming daffodils were pounded with hail and snow on an almost daily basis. The British summer also left many yearning for global warming, with temperatures in June and July rarely struggling to get over 16 degrees and on one occasion even dropping as low as 9 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.
holy shit!...and it took almost 8 years for the bush administration to change their way of thinking about global warming...sure that will make you warm and cozy out on the african veldt...
ReplyDeleteThese are some strange times we're living in. We'd better buckle up 'cause I think it's going to be a bumpy ride.
ReplyDeleteCheck out spaceweather.com -- one of my favorites. The sunspot cycle is quite normal and there was actually one small one in August. I think the norm is an 11 year peak and we will be getting our sunspots back in a year or two.
ReplyDeletei think the chinese are responsible.
ReplyDeletethey're stealing all the warm weather.
I'll check it out Joy.
ReplyDeleteBilly, bush probably sold it to them behind our back.
Thanks Joy, I bookmarked that site, it's got tons of info.
