200 Year Cooling Cycle Begins

[stocks]

Global Cooling Started in 2003

It's not the "global" part that matters, it's the northern hemisphere (NH) cooling. The NH cooling will be more rapid that the SH.
The NH is where most people live and where most food is grown.

We have now had 16 years since 1997 with no net warming - and so might expect a sharp drop in a year or two - 2014/16 -with a net cooling by 2035 of about 0.35.Within that time frame however there could well be some exceptional years with NH temperatures +/- 0.25 degrees colder than that.

It seems reasonably probable - say 60-40 that the NH will cool by about .35 degrees by 2035.
We should be able to check the accuracy of this forecast by 2018 -20.

6) Global cooling will take place concurrently with that of the NH but because of the great extent of the southern oceans the global cooling will be significantly less - maybe +/- 50 % and there will also be considerable regional variability. in both hemispheres.

7) There is no reason to expect damaging global warming.Cooling is more likely .To prepare for it, all ethanol and biofuel subsidies and mandates should be abolished.Renewable energy and electric car subsidies are economically wasteful and accomplish nothing.There is no reason to control CO2 emissions, indeed some extra CO2, while having little effect on temperature, might aid farm productivity . 25% of the increased crop yields in the 20th century was due to the CO2 increase.

Did you know that "Plants grown with supplemental CO2 can produce up to 35% more flowers or fruit"?

There are growing numbers of "preppers" who are putting up backyard gardens and even hot houses.
Youtube has many "preppers" showing various ways to strive at self-sufficiency.
My current favorite is MHPGardener

It's kind of funny how many of us environmentally conscious "greenies" actually run CO2 generators to help our plants to grow.
CO2 Generators w/ Pilot Light Price: $345.95


Product Description
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is one of the easiest ways to accelerate plant growth. Plants grown with supplemental CO2 can produce up to 35% more flowers or fruit. A propane or natural gas CO2 generator is the most cost effective way to add CO2 to your environment. Many greenhouses use CO2 generators to boost CO2 levels safely and economically. C.A.P. has developed some of the safest and most reliable CO2 Generators. They are capable of producing between 3 and 26 cubic feet of CO2 per hour. C.A.P. manufactures 2 models, The GEN-1 and the GEN-2. The GEN-1 is recommended for small to medium size areas up to 15’ x 15’.

Continued Cooling May Jeopardize Climate Science And Green Energy Funding!

One of the world’s leading solar scientists, Habibiullo Abdussamatov, head of the Russian Academy of Sciences Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg and director of the Russian segment of the international Space Station, agrees that Planet Earth may be in for a long cold spell. He points out that deep cold periods have occurred five times over the last 1,000 years. Each is correlated with declines in solar irradiance, much like we are experiencing now.

Dr. Abdussamatov believes: “A global freeze will come about regardless of whether or not industrialized countries put a cap on their greenhouse gas emissions. The common view of Man’s industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect.” He predicts that a new Little Ice Age will commence around 2013/2014, the depth of the decline will occur around 2040, and a deep freeze will last for the rest of this century.

The last Little Ice Age, which occurred in the middle of the 16th century, wasn’t broadly regarded as a good time. That period lasting about 150 years, killed millions in Europe, ending soon after Washington’s troops suffered brutal winter temperatures at Valley Forge in 1777, and Napoleon’s experienced a bitterly cold retreat from Russia in 1812.

"I have warned ... that a triple crown of cooling would take over involving solar, ocean and the stochastic events."

Keep in mind that “climate” occurs over at least three decade periods and on a large scale. The 48 contiguous U.S. states we hear most about in the news only constitute about 1.58 percent of the globe. These changing climate and fluctuating weather consequences are driven primarily by natural changes in solar cycles, ocean temperatures, and “stochastic events” such as volcanoes, which I have labeled the triple crown of cooling. The first two occur on various long term cycles; decades in the oceans, and centuries with the Sun. The stochastic events are random wild cards.

The U.S., specifically the East Coast, faces a perilous time over the next several years. Consider that there were eight major hurricane hits on the coast from South Carolina northward between 1954 and 1960, and there were six hits from North Carolina northward in 1954 and 1955.

Right now we’re seeing the same kind of major events on a regional scale that occurred the last time the Pacific Ocean shifted its temperature phase from warm to cold when the Atlantic was in a warm phase, and globally, the Earth’s temps have fallen about 0.05° C in the last four years. . The European winters also look very similar now to those in the early 1950s. People familiar with circumstances during the Korean conflict can note that cold conditions that existed in the Far East were also comparable. Alaska has once again turned much colder, just as it did then when the Pacific temperatures cooled and sea ice expanded.

Here in the U.S., a drop in tropical Pacific temperatures causes less moisture to be present in the atmosphere than when that ocean is in its warming state. That causes conditions to be drier, especially near and east of the Rockies, as well as in the Deep South. This is when we see hotter, drier summers; winters tend be warmer earlier, and colder later.

We can also expect to witness increased tornado activity which is linked to the cold decadal Pacific shift and a cooling globe. This happens when cool air in northwest North America trying to find a pathway southeast collides with warm air coming from the south in a clash zone right in the center of our nation. The result is predictable… a fight is on.

Global Cooling Is Here

“German meteorologists say that the start of 2013 is now the coldest in 208 years – and now German media has quoted Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov from the St. Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory [saying this] is proof as he said earlier that we are heading for a “Mini Ice Age.” Talking to German media the scientist who first made his prediction in 2005 said that after studying sunspots and their relationship with climate change on Earth, we are now on an ‘unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop.’”

At first the current stall out of global warming was due to the ocean cycles turning back to cold. But something much more ominous has developed over this period. Sunspots run in 11 year short term cycles, with longer cyclical trends of 90 and even 200 years. The number of sunspots declined substantially in the last 11 year cycle, after flattening out over the previous 20 years. But in the current cycle, sunspot activity has collapsed.

The Little Ice Age, following the historically warm temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period, which lasted from about AD 950 to 1250, has been attributed to natural cycles in solar activity, particularly sunspots. A period of sharply lower sunspot activity known as the Wolf Minimum began in 1280 and persisted for 70 years until 1350. That was followed by a period of even lower sunspot activity that lasted 90 years from 1460 to 1550 known as the Sporer Minimum. During the period 1645 to 1715, the low point of the Little Ice Age, the number of sunspots declined to zero for the entire time. This is known as the Maunder Minimum, named after English astronomer Walter Maunder. That was followed by the Dalton Minimum from 1790 to 1830, another period of well below normal sunspot activity.

China may become top wheat importer after crops ruined

China's wheat crop has suffered more severely than previously thought from frost in the growing period and rain during the harvest, and import demand to compensate
for the damage could see the country eclipse Egypt as the world's top buyer.

Interviews with farmers and new estimates from analysts have revealed weather damage in China's northern grain belt could have made as much as 20 million tonnes of the
wheat crop, or 16 percent, unfit for human consumption. That would be double the volume previously reported as damaged.

Higher imports, which have already been revised upwards on initial damage reports, will further shrink global supplies and support prices, fuelling new worries over global food security.

Global Cooling Will Cause More Extreme Weather

Extreme weather comes from polar-tropics temperature differences, NOT global mean temperature.

On a cooler earth the temperature gradient from the tropics to the arctic circle is steeper.This creates instability and the jet stream swings further North and South

...with colder dryer air penetrating further South and warm moist air reaching further North, there can be enormous temperature and humidity contrasts in the narrow boundary between these masses as warm air is sucked in from the Gulf .

Conditions alomg such a boundary are ideal for developing the wind shear necessary for the tornado swarm development seen recently in Oklahoma.The blocking highs also push hurricanes to the east so that (eastcoast) hurricanes like Sandy are more likely to occur.

Grain harvest in Norway at 37-year low

“The main cause of the low volume of this year grain harvest is the effect of the cooling climate situation,” says Dag in Ringerike. (Ringerike is a municipality in Buskerud county, Norway.)

Climate pattern similar to the Maunder Minimum

What shocked me when I read this report is that Norway in June had only a 3-month supply of grain. A financial disaster, a geopolitical disaster, a climate disaster, we are not prepared. And we have a just in time food supply system that will mean empty shelves after seven days or some days more.

“As I have written before, our political, financial and bureaucratic class are living in a dream world and have no clue of what “real politics” are. Money and words cannot substitute food.

“Our military establishment now recognizes that this issue could be a potential problem, but our politicians do not. It was not an issue before the election in September.”

Cooling will accelerate as Atlantic cooling joins the Pacific cooling and, as the German and Russian scientists predict, the sun continues its dive into a Minimum

The United States has cooled for 18 years this winter. Every one of the 9 climate regions has a downtrend. We have broken all snow records. See the story on how this decade is already the snowiest ever for high impact east coast snows.

The recent cooling is related entirely to the cooling Pacific and is occurring despite the fact we have not had major volcanic activity since Pinatubo in 1991. As the other dominos fall and if a major volcano occurs, the cold we saw this past week will be commonplace and even more severe.

The government’s energy policy threatens to create great pain as we found in the EU where the renewable energy push has ben much greater and energy prices skyrocketed. They have had more severe winters the past 5 years with many pushed into energy poverty and a heavy death toll. The elderly living on a fixed budget and the poor will suffer the most.
