This guy will be called a blashphemer and accused of being in the pocket of Big Oil or Big Coal, I’m sure
Temperatures on Earth have stabilized in the past decade, and the planet should brace itself for a new Ice Age rather than global warming, a Russian scientist said in an interview with RIA Novosti Tuesday.
“Russian and foreign research data confirm that global temperatures in 2007 were practically similar to those in 2006, and, in general, identical to 1998-2006 temperatures, which, basically, means that the Earth passed the peak of global warming in 1998-2005,” said Khabibullo Abdusamatov, head of a space research lab at the Pulkovo observatory in St. Petersburg.
According to the scientist, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has risen more than 4% in the past decade, but global warming has practically stopped. It confirms the theory of “solar” impact on changes in the Earth’s climate, because the amount of solar energy reaching the planet has drastically decreased during the same period, the scientist said.
Interesting, if true. Something to think about. Especially since a rise in CO2 generally follows a rise in temperature. Perhaps Time Magazine will republish their 1974 issue saying that a new ice age is coming.
He also said that in 2008, global temperatures would drop slightly, rather than rise, due to unprecedentedly low solar radiation in the past 30 years, and would continue decreasing even if industrial emissions of carbon dioxide reach record levels.
By 2041, solar activity will reach its minimum according to a 200-year cycle, and a deep cooling period will hit the Earth approximately in 2055-2060. It will last for about 45-65 years, the scientist added.
You mean that the temps have stabilized? Well, hell, that wopping one degree of temp change over the past 100 years is a real killer, eh?
Maybe the climahysterics will take their own advice and stop driving those fossil fuel burners, so we do not have to listen to their whining anymore. And perhaps we could divest real environmental concerns from the silly global warming meme. That way, we could actually do something, rather then “making people aware.” Liberals: all talk, no action.
