Rather than spiraling into a meltdown, we may be heading into next ice age
The U.S. National Solar Observatory, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and astrophysicists across the planet report that the nearly all-time low sunspot activity may result in a sustained cooling period on Earth.
Many reputable scientists have been warning for decades that we are nearing the end of the 11,500-year average period between ice ages. And the last similar crash in sunspot activity coincided with the so-called "Little Ice Age" in the 1600s that lasted nearly a century.
What happens during a "Little Ice Age?" Food-producing land becomes scarcer, food-growing seasons become shorter, and the world becomes a much more arid and less hospitable place. Think food shortages and the social unrest that follows.
Ice age threat should freeze EPA global warming regs
The forces at work behind the global warming regulatory regime have, at worst, covered up, ignored and manipulated climate evidence to make the case that humans cause global warming and therefore humans should be punished.
At best, the mainstream scientific community is continuing to weigh the climate data as it becomes available. Caught in the flux are millions of Americans suffering under an economic tsunami that is anything but a theory.
Despite increasing evidence that "global warming" climate change is not the unified scientific theory it has been promoted to be, vested interests continue to push for stringent limits on carbon dioxide emissions.
Certain investment banks and trading houses that stand to make billions on so-called "carbon credits," and the environmental sociologists who have as a stated purpose to change our way of life, are a powerful bloc.
In the Obama administration, this cabal has a willing "big stick" in the form the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which has enacted draconian measures that will, by President Obama's admission, make energy costs "skyrocket."
The EPA regulations were enacted this year without congressional approval as required by the Clean Air Act and other laws. Estimates put the economic damage of these regulations at $1 trillion over the next 20 years, with a loss of between four and 10 million jobs.
Moving forward with global warming regulations is truly "absurd."
A load of codswallop. The suns radiant output is greater at the peak of the Sunspot activity, but only by about 1% more than the output at the sunspot minimum.
The little ice age was a generational period of cooler weather in the mid to late 17th century. Soon after in the early 18th century there was a generation period period of warm weather that wasn't surpassed until the 20th century. 1980 onwards is period of warmer temperatures that there is no equal to in the instrumental record going back to the mid 17th century.
According to Arrhenius once CO2 reaches 560 ppmv then a future ice age is ruled out.
I've still got a book from 1968 purchased in SouthLand news agency on the geological history of the earth. It states quite clearly that due to industrial activity and increasing CO2, the Earth will be getting warmer in the centuries ahead. The book cost $6....big money in them days.
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!! You are no longer customer, you are property!!!
I'm a fence sitting pussy when it comes to climate change.
But how come the beaches are still the same? There's still exactly the same amount of metres of sand before you get to the water.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.

They hired elves who come out at night and put sand on the beach.
But seriously suburban beaches that lose sand because it's not replaced by erosion get sand pumped to the beaches periodically to top them up. They been doing that for over 30 years.

Huh? If there was some really bad climate change going on the water would be half way up the beach by now, and it isn't. There's no trucks that come along and dump sand. They're still the same old beaches they always were.
Also, you've got to take into account that unis have been exposed, they want lots of Chinese students for the money, so why should I not believe that these pro climate change scientists are also trying to justify themselves for the money?

As i have said before, i was in London at a lecture at a university, the professor who was talking about a similar subject said we should already be entering an ice age, he said you can set your watches by them. Peter from Perth

Not trucks. A sea going dredger that sucks sand from the shipping channels of say, Port Phillip bay, dumping the sand via tubes on the beaches.

no, codswallop is when you post big rants without any links to back it up. like you do all the time.
I am the love child of Tony Abbott and Pauline Hanson

On the Gold coast they just pump the sand they dredge out of the Tweed river a couple of hundred metres off the beach they want to replenish. I'm told that it works like a charm.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever?
