Global Cooling Comin’ Our Way — Real Soon?

That’s the prediction of the Old Farmers Almanac:

The Old Farmer’s Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.

Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.

“We at the Almanac are among those who believe that sunspot cycles and their effects on oceans correlate with climate changes,” writes meteorologist and climatologist Joseph D’Aleo. “Studying these and other factor suggests that cold, not warm, climate may be our future.”

It remains to be seen, said Editor-in-Chief Jud Hale, whether the human impact on global temperatures will cancel out or override any cooling trend.

“We say that if human beings were not contributing to global warming, it would become real cold in the next 50 years,” Hale said.

I’d bet that the OFA’s track record is better than that of the scientific “consensus”. What say you?

    From what I’ve read there is no doubt about it. People should understand that there will not be an ice age but there will a greater number of cold and long winters. If it is severe enough we may also have many cool and wet summers like those that were prevalent in Europe during the little ice age. It could make a little global warming seem not so bad after all.

    If anything the consensus is against it. Go to ttp://www.oism.org/pproject/

    As a scientist and a signer of the Oregon Petition, it is remarkable how silent many of the warmies are these days.
