Going Down?
Some climate scientists are now predicting a few decades of global cooling.
Quote:
It’s not exactly Copenhagen or Kyoto, but the 700 scientists attending the fourth International Conference on Climate Change, sponsored by the Heartland Institute, had some chilling news of their own in the most liberal sense.
“Global warming is over — at least for a few decades,” Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, told the gathering. “However, the bad news is that global cooling is even more harmful to humans than global warming, and a cause for greater concern.”
Looking at much reduced sunspot activity and considering that the sun is our overwhelmingly largest source of heat, a cycle of global cooling is plausible. Let’s hope that doesn’t give new opportunities for climate “scientists” to embezzle more taxpayer funds.
