•• That is nothing more than enviro-fascist propaganda
Nothing factual there.
•• SSSsssuuuuurrree! The iceman cometh. 12,000
years since the end of the last age ~~ that makes
itn due.
•• First of all, not one of those explanations has stood
up in real time. Computer modeling gives one
BSI = BSO
•• Arrogant nonsense!!! The Earth and the rest of
the Solar system is controlled by the sun. To even
imagine one can control the sun in any way is stupid
•• More stupid nonsense!!
IT'S GLOBAL COOLING... AND IT'S DEADLY
By: Phil Brennan
Unless you've been living in an igloo in some desolate
arctic region bereft of any form of communication with the
outside world it should become obvious that the world has
been undergoing some pretty violent episodes of extreme
weather, destruction by fire of vast forest areas, and
incredible amounts of rainfall resulting in floods of an
unprecedented magnitude from Texas to England and just
about everyplace else.
If you've been following my series on global cooling
starting in 1997, none of this will come as a surprise.
These are all symptoms of an approaching ice age -
symptoms, the record shows, present prior to the
onset of all previous ice ages.
Before I get further into this, let me make it clear that I am
not predicting the sudden appearance of great sheets of
ice descending on the northern U.S. And Europe and
burying New York under a few miles of ice in the near
future - that's 30,000 years away and doesn't concern us
- at least those of us who don't plan to be around then.
What concerns me, and should concern you, is the period
that precedes the onset of glaciation. As I wrote back in
1997* and have harped on ever since, is the fact that the
historical records show that the period between the switch
from interglacial interludes and the return of glaciation is
about 20 short years.
Moreover, as the earth proceeds through that 20 year
period, all hell breaks loose, with each year getting worse
and more violent than the previous one. Mother Nature
appears to go more and more berserk each year and by
the time that glaciation begins to set in Mother earth and
its inhabitants- us - are devastated - if still alive - to say
the least.
Do I have your attention now?
Before you accuse me of being a demented alarmist take
a look at some facts. In my 1997 series, The IceMan
Cometh, I wrote of studies by Dr. George Kukla a member
of the Czechoslovakian Academy of Sciences and a
pioneer in the field of astronomical forcing.
I explained that in the early 1960s, Dr.Kukla and Julius
Fink examined glacial loess deposits and found evidence
of ten ice ages in the samples. Later, in 1977, the journal
Quaternary Research published their findings in an article
"Pleistocene Climates in Central Europe: At least 17
Interglacials after the Olduvai Event."
Now comes the Financial Post's Lawrence Solomon with
a piece "Forget Warming - beware the next new ice age,"
in which he discusses Dr. Kukla's warnings harking back
to the 1970s and his present contentions.Solomon himself
is executive director of Urban Renaissance Institute and
Consumer Policy Institute, divisions of Energy Probe
Research Foundation. He has recently written about and
identified many scientists who deny the claims of Al Gore
and his chums who claim fasely that all reputable
scientists say the science is settled and that's it!
Before I cite Solomon's article I want to dispel any
questions skeptics might have about Dr. Kukla and
his solid credentials. According Solomon Dr. Kukla
is a micropalentologist and Special Research
Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
of Columbia University, and is a pioneer in the study
of solar forcing of climate changes. He was the lead
author of the scientific paper that first supported
Milutin Milankovic's theory of glacial cycles by
investigating the stratigraphy in deep-sea sediment
cores from the southern Indian Ocean. In the cores
were clear imprints of Milankovic's proposed cycles.
In his paper he wrote, "We are certain now that
changes in the Earth's orbital geometry caused the
ice ages. The evidence is so strong that other
explanations must now be discarded or modified." Prior
to joining Columbia in 1971, he had published landmark
studies in Czechoslovakia, where he was a member of
the Czechoslovakian Academy of Sciences.
O.K. Here's what Dr. Kukla says now. He maintains that
the record clearly shows that global warming always
precedes an ice age. That makes the current period of
global warming a mere blip that constitutes additional
indication of the ice age to come.
He insists that the fundamental issue here could not be
more clear: For millions of years, the geologic record
shows, Earth has experienced an ongoing cycle of ice
ages, each typically lasting about 100,000 years, and
each punctuated by briefer, warmer periods called
interglacials, such as the one we are now in. This
ongoing cycle closely matches cyclic variations in
Earth's orbit around the sun.
"I feel we're on pretty solid ground in interpreting orbit
around the sun as the primary driving force behind
ice-age glaciation. The relationship is just too clear and
consistent to allow reasonable doubt," Dr. Kukla said.
"It's either that, or climate drives orbit, and that just
doesn't make sense."
In 1997 I wrote about the 20 year period between
interglacial periods and glaciation. I quoted paleologist-
pollen specialist Genevieve Woillard as writing in a 1979
Nature article about that period. She wrote that the only
real question remaining is how long it will take for the
glaciation process to set in.
Woillard reported on her studies of pollen samples in a
lake bottom in South Vosges, France. She wrote that at
the start of a number of past glacial periods, the
vegetation changed from temperate zone trees to
subarctic needle-bearing trees in a period of 150 years
plus or minus 75 years. The change was one of gradual
deterioration until the last 20 years. During that final
score of years, the type of vegetation completely changed.
What her studies, and those of other paleoclimatologists
who have examined past ice ages show, is that the
transition between interglacial and glacial periods is one
of increasing violence -- more volcanic eruptions, storms,
earthquakes and other natural disasters.
To sum up, here are a few facts - that's facts, not the
computer models (guesses) that pass for evidence in the
global warming community:
For at least the past five million years, the earth has
experienced ice ages lasting 90,000 years or so, followed
by interglacial periods like the present one that last about
12,000 years.
The last ice age ended 12,000 years ago.
Every time the atmospheric levels of CO2 have exceeded
300 ppms an ice age has occurred. Those levels now
exceed 400 ppms.
The transition period between ice ages and temperate
climates is about 20 years and that period is one of
increasing violence.
Galciation is an acceleration of the normal process of
using evaporated water to carry heat energy from the
warm zones to cold zones. The effect of an increase in
atmospheric greenhouse gases such as water vapor - the
real grenhouse gas - is to increase cloud cover over polar
latitudes. The clouds have a cooling effect as well as
providing the snow for glaciation. The energy is dissipated
in arctic space. Spring and Fall seasons get shorter and
shorter until all that's left is winter.
To get to the point of all of this, let me quote what I write
back in 1997 about the opinions of former government
scientist Dr. George Kaplan, the real historian of the
global warming/global cooling dispute.
"Has the warming theory 'campaign' been the last stand
of an arrant scientific ideology?" he asked "Such a
hypothesis can be acceptable to some, but the obvious
failing of the theory in the face of global catastrophe
argues for a more substantial motivation.
"It would pay to investigate this motivation further to
consider whether politics has been responsive to poor
science or whether economics and politics have made
false tools out of science for narrow interest.
"If the latter is true the manipulation and subversion of
the truth seeking apparatus by political and private
interests is, in the present situation, of such extreme
malevolence that it ranks as the greatest malfeasance
in history."
Exactly.
In short, what Al Gore and his supporters are doing is
nothing short of criminal . At a time in the world's history
when mankind faces a catastrophe unlike anything in the
entire history of humanity (all human history from Adam
and Eve to the present has taken place in the last 12,000
years) the Goreites lull us into a false belief that global
warming is not only happening, but can be prevented. This
at a time when what we should be doing is getting
spiritually prepared for what may well be the end of an age,
if not of the world. If the past is really prologue, the next
five years is going to be something close to a gradually
occurring Armageddon.

The evidence from Mars destroys the notion that
humans are responsible for warming Earth. Mars
has global warming, but without a greenhouse
and without the participation of Martians.
