Global Warming to Global Cooling?

5 January 2008

Last year, I had posted asking whether we were switching from global warming to global cooling. My post is here

Check out the first part of FoxNews Special Report with Brit Hume’s 4 January 2008 Political Grapevine segment:

The Heat Is Off

A researcher at Russia’s oceanology institute says global warming has peaked — and the planet is now headed for a cooling period that will last through the end of the century.

Oleg Sorokhtin is a fellow of the Russian academy of natural sciences. He writes in an article for the Russian news and information agency that a cold spell will set in by 2012. H believes an even colder period will begin as solar activity reaches a minimum in 2041 — and that it will last 50 to 60 years.

Sorokhtin says warming and cooling are entirely natural processes — independent of human activity. He says the current warming trend is due to changes in things like solar activity, ocean currents, and salinity fluctuations in Arctic waters.

Meanwhile, British weather experts say 2008 will be the coolest year since 2000 because of a drop in sea surface temperatures off the western coast of South America — known as La Nina. But they say this year will still be one of the 10 hottest years on record.

Trusting this scientist and probably others later in this new year, I may be right that the pendulum has shifted from warming to cooling, even though weather experts think it will be a hot year.  But, when have they be right in predicting the 3 day forecast let alone the 30 to 90 day forecast?

This may also confirm that Algore and his minions are truly spreading falsehoods about our impact on our climate.  Apparently, their religion may come to an end.

But, in the end, we must become better stewards of this earth.  How? By taking responsibility for our own actions.  However, this is something most of us do not do or may never do.
