Is This The Beginning of Global Cooling?
Many scary stories have been written about the dangers of catastrophic global warming, allegedly due to increased atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from the combustion of fossil fuels. But is the world really catastrophically warming? NO. And is the warming primarily caused by humans? NO.
Since just January 2007, the world has cooled so much that ALL the global warming over the past three decades has disappeared! This is confirmed by a plot of actual global average temperatures from the best available source, weather satellite data that shows there has been NO net global warming since the satellites were first launched in 1979.

Since there was global cooling from ~1940 to ~1979, this means there has been no net warming since ~1940, in spite of an ~800% increase in human emissions of carbon dioxide. This indicates that the recent warming trend was natural, and CO2 is an insignificant driver of global warming.
Furthermore, the best fit polynomial shows a strong declining trend. Are we seeing the beginning of a natural cooling cycle? YES. Further cooling, with upward and downward variability, is expected because the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has returned to its cool phase, as announced by NASA this year.
Global warming and cooling have closely followed the phases of the PDO. The most significant pattern of PDO behavior is a shift between “warm” and “cool” phases that last 20 to 30 years. In 1905, the PDO shifted to its “warm” phase. In 1946, the PDO changed to its “cool” phase. In 1977, the PDO returned to its “warm” phase and produced the current warming. In 2007-8, the PDO turned cold again, so we can expect several decades of naturally-caused global cooling.
Some scientists are predicting that this cooling will be severe, and is a greater threat to humanity than global warming ever was. Meanwhile, politicians are still obsessing about global warming.

There’s a book that was just published called The Last Centurions by John Ringo. It’s fiction, but the premise of the novel is Bird Flu becoming a pandemic and a mini-ice age starting.
There’s a lot of politics in this. The author wrote it last year when it was thougth Hillary Clinton was a near shoe in for the presidency.
Interesting if scary read.
I haven’t seen any livestock yet but the neighbourhood pets are starting to “winter up.” For those of you who haven’t been in cattle producing areas, that is an indicator of what winter will have in store. Even the Farmer’s Almanac has come out and said it may be a hard winter. My Setter is getting more hair already. Folks, it may be a tough one.
Get the book THE POLITICLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND ENVIROMENTALISM its a very good tell all of the truth that the mainstream left-wing news media will never tell
There can’t possibly be global cooling. History (as marxists posit) only works in one direction, global warming, dictatorship of the proletariat. Both are inevitable. And the fact that you observe global cooling only means the world is really really really heating up and the only thing that will save the world and human kind from global warming (hell in the liberal and atheistic lexicon) is total government control of all means of production and consumption. Yep, you guessed it Marxism/Stalinism. How brilliant that all avenues lead to communism.
And what have the politicians done to prepare governments and the people for cooling, specifically in food and energy supplies?
Looking at the sun, the suns activity is declining. Spotless Sun: Blankest Year of the Space Age

Also:
“Coinciding with the string of blank suns is a 50-year record low in solar wind pressure, a recent discovery of the Ulysses spacecraft.”
The Hansen gang in NASA must hate this data.
Lower solar winds, allows more ionizing cosmic radiation, more cloud cover, more albedo, lower temps.
Nice to see you deleted my comment. I see why you hate the ACLU so much if you can’t stand free speech when it points out the flaws in your arguments.
