Hey--I got your global warming...... right here...

From here:

Scientist predicts 'mini Ice Age' ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A Russian astronomer has predicted that Earth will experience a "mini Ice Age" in the middle of this century, caused by low solar activity.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov of the Pulkovo Astronomic Observatory in St. Petersburg said Monday that temperatures will begin falling six or seven years from now, when global warming caused by increased solar activity in the 20th century reaches its peak (ital. added), RIA Novosti reported. (ed. note: Much like SUVs are causing the ice caps on mars to melt)

The coldest period will occur 15 to 20 years after a major solar output decline between 2035 and 2045, Abdusamatov said.

Dramatic changes in the earth's surface temperatures are an ordinary phenomenon, not an anomaly, he said, and result from variations in the sun's energy output and ultraviolet radiation.

The Northern Hemisphere's most recent cool-down period occurred between 1645 and 1705. The resulting period, known as the Little Ice Age, left canals in the Netherlands frozen solid and forced people in Greenland to abandon their houses to glaciers, the scientist said.

I'm still waiting for more enviro-whackos to say that the onset of global cooling is caused by global warming. Or that excessive green house gases are causing "low solar activity."

When the concept of human-caused global warming is ultimately disproved by history, what will be the next thing to which they will hitch their agenda?

How about the very real fact that socialism, guised as chicken little pseudo-scientific rhetoric, is damaging to the human condition.
