The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.
Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in
summer by 2013.
According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.
The scientists’ predictions also undermine the standard climate computer models, which assert that the warming of the Earth since 1900 has been driven solely by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and will continue as long as carbon dioxide levels rise.

I’m getting an urge to go buy one of those bombardier multi-passenger enclosed vehicles before the price shoots up . .I also need a new furnace and it seems with a/c for one of those high efficiency eco-friendly ones I’m possibly looking at around $12,000.00 . A standard one without the a/c , which i only used half a dozen times last summer is around $4,000.00 . Maybe i ought to put that 8 G into the bombardier , with an extra heater .
Scientific credibility is in the tank, why should we believe any of these guys?
