Russian Scientists Forecast Global Cooling in 6-9 Years


Global cooling could develop on Earth in 50 years and have serious consequences before it is replaced by a period of warming in the early 22nd century, a Russian Academy of Sciences’ astronomical observatory’s report says, the RIA Novosti news agency reported Friday.

Environmentalists and scientists warn not about the dangers of global warming provoked by man’s detrimental effect on the planet’s climate, but global cooling. Though never widely supported, it is a theory postulating an overwhelming cooling of the Earth which could involve glaciation.

“On the basis of our [solar emission] research, we developed a scenario of a global cooling of the Earth’s climate by the middle of this century and the beginning of a regular 200-year-long cycle of the climate’s global warming at the start of the 22nd century,” said the head of the space research sector.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov said he and his colleagues had concluded that a period of global cooling similar to one seen in the late 17th century — when canals froze in the Netherlands and people had to leave their dwellings in Greenland — could start in 2012-2015 and reach its peak in 2055-2060.

huha! which is it going to be? warming-1; cooling-2; warming and then cooling-3:icon_boun

[Jared Moya]

Considering we are still in the thawing period that followed the ice age, i.e. warming period, my money's on another ice age.

[Atasas]

None of it is any much nicer, just an empty talk as nothing is going to be done about it.. and not excluding myself. Just got to consider to move to africa

[Neildo]

time to move to the equator, amirite?

My generation will live what i call

The "Resource Wars"

[shawners]

I like to shave with hot water, then put some aloe or aftershave on me for a cool down. I think those work best.

Hurry! Loot while you can before its all gone! Screw our kids! Screw the future!

Uh yah. Weve made great strides since the first Earth Day in the 1970s here in the US, it's backward 3rd world countries like Malaysia and Sumatra, and now even China with its record pace of industrialization. Lets hope they get their act together eventually. I just thought it was interesting that scientists do disagree on global warming, and that the whole notion of a "consensus" in science alone should give people pause. I mean what is a "consensus" when it comes to science? The deabte on global warming has been hijacked into being a political tool to bash the republicans as being anti-environment.

Well Bush is anti-environment, and he is republican :P
Lol

I still don't buy the man-made global warming bullshit, for the most part it all has to do with volcanic flows beneath the ocean floor.

Warm the ocean, change the climate.

And vice versa.

Amen, plus considering that we were previously in an ice age, ever since then has been global warming. Also, as long as you drive around in a car that burns fossil fuels and consume products also made from fossil fuels please dont whine and complain.
