Fallen Angels is just a book

Crippling blizzards, snowstorms and sub-zero temperatures threaten a yearly dose of Arctic misery for the next FIFTY YEARS at least - and possibly decades more.

Climate experts warn a rare pattern of water cooling in the north Atlantic will trigger a chain reaction of events leading to a "fully-blown ice age".

The say the UK is on alert for a "serious climate situation" with regular winter whiteouts pushing emergency services to the limit.
All of which can be fixed with higher taxes, a carbon tax, more government, global government, and more UN bureaucracy. Hey, I'm just getting ahead of the argument here...

#5  Could this be the same UK Met Office that only a few years back was predicting snow was a thing of the past in Britain? (just before they had a king hell winter, if memory serves)

Snark aside, give them credit for paying attention to the Sun, something most climate models ignore. (for non-science types, the Sun is that yellowish thing in the sky that swings the temps about 30F each day)

If we look back a couple million years, Earth's climate has been quite regular - about 100,000 years of glaciers interrupted by about 10,000 years of warm, followed by another 100,000 years of cold, and so on. Like day following night, but on a geological time scale.

An interesting aspect of this cycle is that the climate has never gotten 'stuck' in one phase despite changes in the composition of the atmosphere. This is contrary to the claims of strong positive feedback mechanisms from the alarmists who insist our climate is prone to run away towards extremes.

In case you were wondering, the last warm period started about 12,000 years ago.

#4  I read the book. It's downright eerie how prescient it was.

Currently reading Mark Steyn's "A Disgrace to the Profession" which is, of course, all about the execrable Michael Mann. Pretty ballsy to publish something like that in the middle of a defamation lawsuit by the aforementioned Mann, but Steyn is no shrinking violet.

#2  I predict that temps will go up, until they go down.

#1  Predicting the future is hard, because it hasn't happened yet.
