| h/t Instapundit "The New Little Ice Age Has Started." This is the unambiguous title of a new study from one of the world’s most prestigious scientific institutions, the Russian Academy of Science’s Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg. "The average temperature around the globe will fall by about 1.5 C when we enter the deep cooling phase of the Little Ice Age, expected in the year 2060," the study states. "The cooling phase will last for about 45-65 years, for four to six 11-year cycles of the Sun, after which on the Earth, at the beginning of the 22nd century, will begin the new, next quasi-bicentennial cycle of warming." Lets not cut carbon emissions? |

| #11 Or, we could just lower the ocean. Climate change created the Bahamas - they were once coral reefs. There are ancient beaches in California, 300 feet above sea level. Climate changes; get used to it! |

| #9 The paleo reconstructions (ice cores etc) show large and rapid climate changes over time periods as short as 10 to 20 years. And no one knows why. It might be solar activity as these Russians think, but that would mean solar variability is much larger than we currently understand. |

| #8 Carbon credits are, and always were, a huge moneymaking scam, Darth. If we were to scrape that basement to find out who was behind them, we'd find some pretty big rats. Most of the early 'advocates' got in and cashed out fairly quickly before the Ponzi Scheme became apparent to the masses. |

| #7 New Ice Age? Does that mean we should pump much more CO2 into the atmosphere? Get rid of those wind turbines and solar farms and replace them with dirty coal? |

| #6 Think I prefer warming, thank you very much. |

| #5 We can't control the climate, despite what the libtards say. We can only adjust. Studies into how we can adjust the best would be much better serving to humanity than carbon credits. |

| #4 Throw another log on the fire! |

| #3 WE don't need more cows.... just feed them more broccoli! |

| #2 So should we set up something like the Fed, only for global temps instead? Cows! We need more cows! |

| #1 We should be focusing our attentions and research on any climate swings and what it would take to mitigate the effects. Like what food grows better where? What strains are resistant to drought, heat and cold? How could populations be moved if necessary? Carbon reduction fights... sorry... capitalist reduction fights and socialist movements are not the answer. |
