We've been told for years that a 'scientific consensus' on a horrific future of heat and misery is enough to cause us to happily accept strict regulation and punitive taxes, 'for our own good', to save the planet.
I noted here a couple of years back that some scientists from the former Soviet Union had predicted the world would be COOLER in ten years (2015) than it is now (2005).
Over these past three years, at least, they've been proven right. Chicago reports the fewest 90 degree or more days in well over 100 years this summer. Likewise Juneau, Alaska, with the fewest 70+ days, even the fewest 65+ days in decades. Summer hasn't really taken off in the northern hemisphere.
Gore's crowd gets more shrill and demanding as the pressure of 'consensus' mounts-- the consensus that they're full of it.
Now a Mexican scientist has joined the Russians and formed a 'consensus' on the future, and
it isn't good.
A new ice age is coming, he warns. More than 50 years of considerably cooler temps are headed our way.
Most people don't think about this, but warmer weather opens up more agriculture, grows more food, as more land gets more sunshine during the growing season. Places that were too cool to grow temperate crops would be just right. Food supplies would increase.
But cooling? That would reduce, sometimes dramatically, the amount and the kind of food crops that will be harvested.
Gore's crowd had better get off his brand new 100 foot houseboat and pay attention. The party is over. Global warming, when this is said and done, will be the new GOAL of governments all across the world, and we'll all be THANKED for spewing carbon into the atmosphere. Assuming the Gore crowd is even right that CO2 causes warming; their silly movie does not mention that increased CO2 levels in history are LAGGING increased temperatures by almost a thousand years.
In fact, if it gets cold, we're probably not going to be able to do anything about it.
