Real Change IS Coming

The solar weather report today is not good, it's been this way for over a year. The sun is eerily quite. There is no solar weather, to speak of. If solar cycle 24 does not start soon, the Earth could quickly sink into another Ice Age - and actually we are about due for one. Over time, interglacial periods, like the one we are in now, last on average about 10,000 years -- We are at 11,000 and counting. Yes, that means the normal state of the planet Earth is mostly a snowball.

Unfortunately, carbon dioxide reductions will have exactly the same impact on the coming and perhaps imminent Ice Age as human-generated carbon dioxide had on the interglacial warming -- Namely, zero, nada, none. Well, except the higher CO2 levels may help with crop growing on the remaining usable land, good if you like to eat.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom of the day, the real danger facing humanity is not global warming, but more likely the coming of a new Ice Age.

What we live in now is known as an interglacial, a relatively brief period between long ice ages. Unfortunately for us, most interglacial periods last only about ten thousand years, and that is how long it has been since the last Ice Age ended.

How much longer do we have before the ice begins to spread across the Earth’s surface? Less than a hundred years or several hundred? We simply don’t know.

Even if all the temperature increase over the last century is attributable to human activities, the rise has been relatively modest one of a little over one degree Fahrenheit — an increase well within natural variations over the last few thousand years.

While an enduring temperature rise of the same size over the next century would cause humanity to make some changes, it would undoubtedly be within our ability to adapt.

Entering a new ice age, however, would be catastrophic for the continuation of modern civilization.
Mankind seems destined for reasons of enslaving people to world socialism, to head in the exact opposite direction. Who says lemmings are stupid, humans are smart. An new ice age, or even significant cooling, will have devastating effect on world food supplies. History is your freind, read history not Al Gore propaganda. The propaganda is only enriching him, not doing a damn thing for the Earth, it's people or it's ability to resist ustoppable climate change.
NASA has predicted that the solar cycle peaking in 2022 could be one of the weakest in centuries and should cause a very significant cooling of Earth’s climate. Will this be the trigger that initiates a new Ice Age?

We ought to carefully consider this possibility before we wipe out our current prosperity by spending trillions of dollars to combat a perceived global warming threat that may well prove to be only a will-o-the-wisp.
Is socialism so important to the left that it will take mankind down with it? Probably, these ideology driven control freaks see mankind as the enemy of nature, and HE needs to be stopped.

With proper planning, resource allocation to finding new ways to grow crops in less favorable growing areas, mankind could weather the change. With ignorance, anything can happen.

BTW, for those worried about the oceans rising, they rose 400 feet since the end of the last ice age 11,000 years ago, they will likely recede by a similar amount when the next full fledged ice age hits.
