Dearth Of Sunspot Activity To Herald New Ice Age?

August 14, 2008 A top observatory that has been measuring sun cycles for over 200 years predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next two decades as solar activity grinds to a halt and the planet drastically cools down, potentially heralding the onset of a new ice age. Observatory predicts two degree drop in temperatures over next two decades as solar activity dwindles While the mass media, Al Gore and politicized bodies like the IPCC scaremonger about the perils of global warming and demand the poor and middle class pay CO2 taxes, both hard scientific data and circumstantial evidence points to a clear cooling trend. Following the end of the Sun’s most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now plummeting. China recently experienced its coldest winter in 100 years while northeast America was hit by record snow levels and Britain suffered its coldest April in decades as late-blooming daffodils were pounded with hail and snow on an almost daily basis. The British summer has also left many yearning for global warming, with temperatures in June and July rarely struggling to get over 16 degrees and on one occasion even dropping as low as 9 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.. » read more

Climate Change Killed Thousands of Trees

August 11, 2008 Drought, heat drive vegetation upslope in mountains east of Orange County Climate change has killed thousands of trees and forced native plants to retreat to higher elevations on a Southern California mountain range, the dramatic results of a new study by UC Irvine climate scientists show. And while it remains unclear whether localized changes in climate or global warming is to blame, the study paints an ominous picture of what might be in store as planetary temperatures continue to rise. The findings could have profound implications for many outdoor activities, and for the management of Southern California's wild lands. "It's hard to say what this wouldn't impact," said Anne Kelly, the study's lead author and a UC Irvine graduate student in Earth System Science. "Recreation, land management, fire abatement: anything that has to do with nature is going to be affected by this.. » read more
