Famed Hurricane Forecaster Predicts Global Cooling in 10 Years

Ahahahahah.. A bold prediction coming less than 6 months after he
predicted a record hurricane season for last year.
===========================

Maybe beacuse its true.

Report: Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling (Daily Tech -
February 26, 2008)

Excerpt: All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's
GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past
year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. A compiled list of all
the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C
up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming
recorded over the past 100 years.

That is a flat-out lie, and you know it.

All in one year time. For all sources,
it's the single fastest temperature change every recorded, either up or
down. [.] Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has
exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first
snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50
years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began.
Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas,
Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland,
Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on. No more than anecdotal
evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard
scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley,
NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the
past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Forget Global Warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age (Canada's National Post -
Feb. 25, 2008) Excerpt: Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia,
Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966. The U.S. National
Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns
suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According
to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the
1901-2000 (20th century) average." China is surviving its most brutal winter
in a century. Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so
long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks without
electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy
to repair them. And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so
hysterically last fall had melted to its "lowest levels on record? Never
mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is
anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.
The ice is back. Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice
Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not
only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at
this time last year. [.]Last month, Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian
Academy of Natural Sciences, shrugged off manmade climate change as "a drop
in the bucket." Showing that solar activity has entered an inactive phase,
Prof. Sorokhtin advised people to "stock up on fur coats." He is not alone..
Kenneth Tapping of our own National Research Council, who oversees a giant
radio telescope focused on the sun, is convinced we are in for a long period
of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon. The last
time the sun was this inactive, Earth suffered the Little Ice Age that
lasted about five centuries and ended in 1850. Crops failed through killer
frosts and drought. Famine, plague and war were widespread. Harbours froze,
so did rivers, and trade ceased. It's way too early to claim the same is
about to happen again, but then it's way too early for the hysteria of the
global warmers, too.

Arctic Sea Ice Sees 'Significant Increase' in Size Following 'Extreme Cold'
(Canadian Broadcasting Corporation -CBC - February 15, 2008)

Excerpt: There's an upside to the extreme cold temperatures northern
Canadians have endured in the last few weeks: scientists say it's been
helping winter sea ice grow across the Arctic, where the ice shrank to
record-low levels last year. Temperatures have stayed well in the -30s C
and -40s C range since late January throughout the North, with the mercury
dipping past -50 C in some areas. Satellite images are showing that the cold
spell is helping the sea ice expand in coverage by about 2 million square
kilometres, compared to the average winter coverage in the previous three
years. "It's nice to know that the ice is recovering," Josefino Comiso, a
senior research scientist with the Cryospheric Sciences Branch of NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, told CBC News on Thursday. [.]
Winter sea ice could keep expanding. The cold is also making the ice thicker
in some areas, compared to recorded thicknesses last year, Lagnis added.
"The ice is about 10 to 20 centimetres thicker than last year, so that's a
significant increase," he said. If temperatures remain cold this winter,
Langis said winter sea ice coverage will continue to expand.

Ice between Canada and Greenland reaches highest level in 15 years
(Greenland's Sermitsiak News - February 12, 2008)

Excerpt: Minus 30 degrees Celsius. That's how cold it's been in large parts
of western Greenland where the population has been bundling up in hats and
scarves. At the same time, Denmark's Meteorological Institute states that
the ice between Canada and southwest Greenland right now has reached its
greatest extent in 15 years. 'Satellite pictures show that the ice expansion
has extended farther south this year. In fact, it's a bit past the Nuuk
area. We have to go back 15 years to find ice expansion so far south. On the
eastern coast it hasn't been colder than normal, but there has been a good
amount of snow.'

New Peer-Reviewed Study Shows Arctic COOLING Over last 1500 years

(Study published in Climate Dynamics, and the work was conducted by Håkan
Grudd of Stockholm University's Department of Physical Geography and
Quaternary Geology - Published online: 30 January 2008)

Excerpt: "The late-twentieth century is not exceptionally warm in the new
Torneträsk record: On decadal-to-century timescales, periods around AD 750,
1000, 1400, and 1750 were all equally warm, or warmer. The warmest summers
in this new reconstruction occur in a 200-year period centred on AD 1000. A
'Medieval Warm Period' is supported by other paleoclimate evidence from
northern Fennoscandia, although the new tree-ring evidence from Tornetraäsk
suggests that this period was much warmer than previously recognised."
"The new Torneträsk summer temperature reconstruction shows a trend
of -0.3°C over the last 1,500 years." Paper available he & Full Paper
(pdf) available he (LINK)


As the paper makes clear, this only addresses summer temp. and only
for that one place.

Secondly, their reconstruction depends heavily on mathematical models,
including "low frequency analysis." I thought you denialists
dismissed all models.

Antarctic Summer Thaw 'Later Than Normal' (AccuWeather Global Warming News -
February 6, 2008)

Excerpt: Actually, the summer thaw down there was later than normal, and
NASA believes that La Nina might have something to do with that. Usually,
the breakup of fast ice around the Antarctica Peninsula occurs in early to
mid-December, but this area was solidly frozen well into January. By the
way, according to the Polar Research Group at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, the current southern hemispheric sea-ice area is at 2.9
million sq/km, which is about 400,000 sq/km greater than the normal level
expected for this time of year, or slightly above-normal. Based on the
latest trend on the chart, it appears that the southern hemispheric sea-ice
area could be right at normal by March.

Global warming sceptics bouyed by record cold (UK Telegraph - February 26,
2008)

Excerpt: Global warming sceptics are pointing to recent record cold
temperatures in parts of North America and Asia and the return of Arctic Sea
ice to suggest fears about climate change may be overblown. According to the
US National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the average temperature of the
global land surface in January 2008 was below the 20th century mean
(-0.02°F/-0.01°C) for the first time since 1982. [.]Asked about the Arctic
ice cover, Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service
in Ottawa, told the Post the Arctic winter had been so severe, the ice has
not only recovered but was actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than
the same time last year. "

GLOBAL WARMING? IT'S THE COLDEST WINTER IN DECADES (UK Daily Express - Feb..
18, 2008)

Excerpt: NEW evidence has cast doubt on claims that the world's ice-caps are
melting, it emerged last night. Satellite data shows that concerns over the
levels of sea ice may have been premature. It was feared that the polar caps
were vanishing because of the effects of global warming. But figures from
the respected US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that
almost all the "lost" ice has come back. Ice levels which had shrunk from
13million sq km in January 2007 to just four million in October, are almost
back to their original levels. Figures show that there is nearly a third
more ice in Antarctica than is usual for the time of year. The data flies in
the face of many current thinkers and will be seized on by climate change
sceptics who deny that the world is undergoing global warming. [.] Central
and southern China, the USA and Canada were hit hard by snowstorms. Even the
Middle East saw snow, with Jerusalem, Damascus, Amman and northern Saudi
Arabia reporting the heaviest falls in years and below-zero temperatures.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan snow and freezing weather killed 120 people.
