UPDATE! “Arctic outbreak kills dozens… “
===============================================
Some impressive winter events have been taking place all across the northern hemisphere lately. Especially eastern and southeastern Europe have been pounded by massive snowfalls and tremendously cold temperatures. Turkey has been buried by heavy snows and extreme temperatures have gripped the entire USA and vast areas of Russia.
The global warming climate appears to have been hacked by natural factors.

- In Russia Moscow celebrated the coldest orthodox Christmas in 125 years.
- Snowfall paralyzed the city of Istanbul, Turkey.
- Massive snow falls across the Balkans, Italy and Greece.
- Dozens of Europeans have since frozen to death.
- Northern Albania villages have been cut off by 120 cm of snow.
- A temperature of -62°C (-80°F) was recorded in Chanty-Mansijsk (Russia).
Arctic conditions spread deep into the Mediterranean
These are all odd events when considering the “consensus” forecasts made 15 years ago, which warned that snow and ice would become rare.
In fact many scientists warned that Mediterranean conditions would spread into northern Europe. Lately, however, just the opposite has happened: Arctic conditions have plunged down into the Mediterranean!
Even worse, there is no end in site for the harsh European winter conditions, German mass circulation daily Bild writes here.
Warning of an impending ice age
So in the face of all the earlier global warming predictions, it is now only ironic that yesterday the German-language Pravda TV site here published an article warning of an impending ice age. The article cites Yale scientist Wei Liu and a recent paper he published on the “overlooked possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation“. Should the ocean heat conveyor collapse, then there would be “a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland.”
Note: Pravda is a rebel-type German site, and so could be viewed to be in similar ranks as climate alarmist sites, but with an opposite view. A collapsed AMOC is still speculative.
Useless models
The Pravda report summarizes Liu’s paper as follows:
CO2 has nothing to do with it, rather the influence of the sun is the dominant factor: less sunspots (Climate: solar physicists project global cooling (video)), weakening of the earth’s magnetic field, impact on the jet stream are decisive factors that can quickly lead our climate into an ice age (Scientists: Consensus 2016: the climate models are useless (Video)).”
Pravda also describes how some experts say today’s climate models fail to take the known ocean and solar factors in account.
UPDATE:
Snow forecast for Europe for the next 10 days!:
Note how far south that snow cover reaches, all the way deep into the Mediterranean – covering Sicily, Greece, southwestern Turkey and North Africa.
Question to radio Jerewan:
Is it true, that Scientists Now Warn Of A New Ice Age?
Answer:
In principal, yes.
But it were not scientists, but my brothers 3 year old son.
and he was not warning of anything, but crying about it.
And it was not a new ice age, but a cone of strawberry ice.
But the rest of the story is fully true!

PS: are there english versions of these jokes?
@ sod
Squirrel!
Typical response of a diseased mind to truths calling out their lies. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
“Typical response of a diseased mind to truths calling out their lies. Deflect, deflect, deflect.”
this article is so bad, that it was simply asking for a radio Jerewan response.
There is absolutely no truth in it and neither a single fact. So in fact my response was right on target.
But you folks are always wrong, so possibly we should respond more often with radio Jerewan jokes:
Question: can we start eating the mushrooms again after Tschernobil accident?
Answer: In principal, yes. As long as your toilet is not linked to the public sewer system.
Question:
“But you folks are always wrong”
SOD drops all pretense of being interested in science.
Sod, hopefully your balls will freeze and fall off when this hits. Anything to shut your endless crap up.
One person put carbon dioxide pollution in perspective…”They’ve turned the very loving, warm breath that you breathe on your child’s cute little face, into a pollutant.”
Another distraction for you sod,
And here is one that has been falsified in just a year and a half. In early 2009,Stephen Chu, Obama’s always loudly proclaimed, Nobel Laureate who can’t be doubted when he talks of climate, because he got a Nobel in an entirely unrelated field, i.e. in high temperature superconduction, said this about global warming and the California snowpack:
Chu recently told the Los Angeles Times that global warming might melt 90 percent of California’s snowpack, which stores much of the water needed for agriculture. This, Chu said, would mean “no more agriculture in California,” the nation’s leading food producer. Chu added: “I don’t actually see how they can keep their cities going.”
No more lettuce for Los Angeles? Chu likes predictions, so here is another: Nine decades hence, our great-great-grandchildren will add the disappearance of California artichokes to the list of predicted planetary calamities that did not happen. Global cooling recently joined that lengthening list. George Will, “Dark Green Doomsayers,” Feb 15, 2009.
Well, just 2 years later we find that the snowpack holds more water than at anytime in the past 17 years. But of course, we all know that the alarmists now say warming is cooling and much snowfall is to be expected on a hot earth.
But we are told that we should never doubt the proclamations of a Nobel Laureate, even if he is pontificating about things outside his field of expertise. After all, his is the CONSENSUS view.
Oh no! Now we have anthropogenic sun-spot depletion brought on by all those solar energy plants using up the sunspots.

Check out the abstract in Liu’s paper at http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/1/e1601666.full
“Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are moderate in most climate model projections under increasing greenhouse gas forcing. This intermodel consensus may be an artifact of common model biases that favor a stable AMOC. Observationally based freshwater budget analyses suggest that the AMOC is in an unstable regime susceptible for large changes in response to perturbations. By correcting the model biases, we show that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990 level. Compared to an uncorrected model, the AMOC collapse brings about large, markedly different climate responses: a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland, and a significant southward rain-belt migration over the tropical Atlantic. Our results highlight the need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models and the importance of reducing model biases in long-term climate projection.”
Wake me up 300 years after the doubling happens.
So the AMOC has run amok?
the paper says the opposite of what is claimed about it.
The cooling (in specific places) is a side effect of CO2 and will happen pretty far in the future.
“The cooling (in specific places) is a side effect of CO2 and will happen pretty far in the future.”
You say warmunists say that CO2 will COOL “Certain” places?
How does this work, sod? We know that CO2 is well mixed. Please explain how CO2 COOLs the surface, assuming standard warmunist theory.
“The cooling (in specific places) is a side effect of CO2”
Right.
So at first CO2 warms the planet and it now COOLS it?
“The cooling (in specific places) is a side effect of CO2”
And it EXACTLY CANCELS any warming from CO2
That must be the case, because EVERYONE knows that there is absolutely zero CO2 signal in any real climate data.
Its GREAT to see you getting on bard, sop, with the realisation that CO2 has absolute no effect on the global temperature.
ps..
Have you managed to take even one of your feet out of your gob yet ?????
You must be getting very comfortable with that position.
Well, one of the “scares” has been that the conveyor belt will collapse SOON. This paper (admittedly it is just more modelling) says “not for 300 years.”
“Well, one of the “scares” has been that the conveyor belt will collapse SOON. This paper (admittedly it is just more modelling) says “not for 300 years.”
no, that is NOT what it says.
The paper says that some model run (which they say might show a model bias towards stability) might lead to the CO2 effect leading to some cooling effect in 300 years.
http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/1/e1601666.full
this nuanced message is translated here to: New Iceage! Models fail! No CO2 effect! No problem for 300 years!
in the real world, the paper does: confirm the CO2 effect. Mentions a side effect (regional cooling ) in some model results. Warns that models are too stable (bad news for folks here, you claim, the opposite!) and does NOT rule out an eralier conveyor belt collapse.
Ah. So warmunism predicts EVERY possible outcome again. Just run the computer often enough, I see. So warmunism has NO predictive skill. What we always said.
Pack up your things, you’re FIRED. Find a warmunist oligarch who pays you AFTER we have shut down his tax-evasion foundation.
“Warns that models are too stable (bad news for folks here, you claim, the opposite!)” – sod
Bad News? What are you blathering about?
If models are stable, they aren’t real. If they are unstable, they’re output will be wrong, or, if right, that will only be by accident.
Models can’t forecast the future. Period.
And, you can’t bring a proof from a paper about something that hasn’t happened yet.
I visited the arctic museum in St. Petersburg Russian about 11-years ago. A talk was being given on the solar influence on our climate. They were debunking the CO2 causes.
A big part of the world is starting to understand, that Russia is an ultimate source of a lot of fake news.
What interests could gas supplying Russia have, to talk down climate change and CO2?
Yeah, it must be an interest in pure science!
A big part of the blogosphere well aware that people like sop, appell, etc etc are parrot minded monkeys, spreading fake news from the AGW priests.
So brain-washed with the Klimate Kool-Aide that they are unable to form a rational though, bending every little point into FAKE NEWS to support their irrational belief in their baseless AGW religion.
A Part of the world also understands that Russia can not afford to get it wrong. They would be among the first to feel the impacts of a worsening (cooling) climate. So of course they would be considering other factors not just the west’s foolishness about Co2.
Pure Science, eh sod?

73. “The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change….There will be more police cars….[since] you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”
Dr. James Hansen, 1988, in an interview with author Rob Reiss.
Reiss asked how the greenhouse effect was likely to affect the neighborhood below Hansen’s office in NYC in the next 20 years.

77. April 2008, Media Mogul Ted Turner on Charlie Rose (On not taking drastic action to correct global warming) “Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.”
[Strictly speaking, this is not a failed prediction. It won’t be until at least 2048 that our church-going and pie-baking neighbors come after us for their noonday meal. But the prediction is so bizarre that it is included it here.]

78. January 1970 Life Magazine “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support …the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half…”

79. “Earth Day” 1970 Kenneth Watt, ecologist: “At the present rate of nitrogen build-up, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”
****
80. “Earth Day” 1970 Kenneth Watt, ecologist: “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

81. April 28, 1975 Newsweek “There are ominous signs that Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically….The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it….The central fact is that…the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down…If the climate change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic.”

82. 1976 Lowell Ponte in “The Cooling,”: “This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.”
****
83. July 9, 1971, Washington Post: “In the next 50 years fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six degrees. Sustained emissions over five to ten years, could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.”

OFFICIAL PREDICTS DISASTER, SAYS GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD WIPE SOME NATIONS OFF MAP–entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ‘eco-refugees,’ threatening political chaos,” said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program.

88. Michael Oppenheimer, 1990, The Environmental Defense Fund: “By 1995, the greenhouse effect would be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots…”(By 1996) The Platte River of Nebraska would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers…The Mexican police will round up illegal American migrants surging into Mexico seeking work as field hands.”

89. April 18, 1990, Denver Post: “Giant sand dunes may turn Plains to desert–huge sand dunes extending east from Colorado’s Front Range may be on the verge of breaking through the thin topsoil, transforming America’s rolling High Plains into a desert, new research suggests. The giant sand dunes discovered by NASA satellite photos are expected to re-emerge over the next 20 t0 50 years, depending on how fast average temperatures rise from the suspected ‘greenhouse effect’ scientists believe.”

90. Edward Goldsmith, 1991, (5000 Days to Save the Planet): “By 2000, British and American oil will have diminished to a trickle….Ozone depletion and global warming threaten food shortages, but the wealthy North will enjoy a temporary reprieve by buying up the produce of the South. Unrest among the hungry and the ensuing political instability, will be contained by the North’s greater military might. A bleak future indeed, but an inevitable one unless we change the way we live…At present rates of exploitation there may be no rainforest left in 10 years. If measures are not taken immediately, the greenhouse effect may be unstoppable in 12 to 15 years.”

91. April 22, 1990 ABC, The Miracle Planet: “I think we’re in trouble. When you realize how little time we have left–we are now given not 10 years to save the rainforests, but in many cases five years. Madagascar will largely be gone in five years unless something happens. And nothing is happening.”

93. November 7, 1997, (BBC commentator): “It appears that we have a very good case for suggesting that the El Niños are going to become more frequent, and they’re going to become more intense and in a few years, or a decade or so, we’ll go into a permanent El Nino. So instead of having cool water periods for a year or two, we’ll have El Niño upon El Niño, and that will become the norm. And you’ll have an El Niño, that instead of lasting 18 months, lasts 18 years.”

98. 1969, Lubos Moti, Czech physicist: “It is now pretty clearly agreed that CO2 content [in the atmosphere] will rise 25% by 2000. This could increase the average temperature near the earth’s surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter.”

103. January 2000 Dr. Michael Oppenheimer of the Environmental Defense Fund commenting (in a NY Times interview) on the mild winters in New York City: “But it does not take a scientist to size up the effects of snowless winters on the children too young to remember the record-setting blizzards of 1996. For them, the pleasures of sledding and snowball fights are as out-of-date as hoop-rolling, and the delight of a snow day off from school is unknown.”

[…] story was originally published by the No Tricks Zone […]
The world has always known that it’s the Sun who warms us year-around. This fact has been overshadowed by a global hoax that was perpetuated by a group whose brilliant idea was to blame CO2 and thus make a lot of money in the process selling Carbon Credits. However, anyone who used their God given mind and has the ability to read and think has known that Climate Change is ongoing, and swings from Hot to Cold and back again. With the absence of Sunspots, our earth cools and with it very possibly an Ice Age begins.
Looks like the warmist zealots will get their way after all. They wanted it cooler, and here it comes.
Or, perhaps president Lame-Duck scared that dastardly CO2 right back into the ground where it belongs and the temps have decided to drop simply to appease him.
That one is in line with the “unknown bubble has protected us from the extreme storms” theory proposed recently.
Once we have a new consensus for the coming Ice Age, the Environmentalists will of course take credit for regsulations and carbon taxes that REVERSED “Global Warming”.
It must be so confusing to be a “scientist” these days.
British astrophysicist Piers Corbyn has been warning about this for years. But since he is not a member of the AGW “consensus” he was ignored. Global cooling will be much harder on humans and wildlife then warming!
I expect he was ignored because of his views and was therefore not a member of the AGW ‘consensus’ group.
So far… weather. Wake me up in a couple of years, or ten.
“So far…weather…”
True,
BUT:
CAGW zealots said that the warming trends would dominate, so that such weather would not typically exist. Therefore, the mere existence of “weather” is significant as evidence – of foolish alarmism.
Similarly, when we were told by Obama that hurricanes in the USA would be more frequent and violent, THIS only made any sense, as a prediction that the trend would be so extreme that it would be detectable agaiunst the usual, natural, extreme variablity of hurricanes from season to season.
Globally, 2015 “Accumulated Cyclone Energy” was 140% of “normal” but 2016 was only 104%.
The greenhouse gas effect or confined space Heating cannot occur as the name suggests in an open space. Since our atmosphere has no walls CO2 cannot generate Heat. The entire concept of settled science is an oxymoron 4 morons.
Not only that, it doesn’t “create heat” in confined spaces, either.

oops, wrong link.
Same guys, different publication (see pp.6-7)

Also, just one of the many up-sides to CO2 production.
http://www.coyoteblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Slide79.png
If someone tells you he wants to cut CO2 production, know that he wants more people to die.
Vostok ice core data suggests that we have been at the top of an interglacial period for several thousand years. By definition, this is when temperatures are the warmest. The next cycle will be a glacial cycle. According to the data, the glacial cycles last an average of approximately 85,000 years.
Since the principal of greenhouse gas effect or confined Space Heating can only occur in a confined space as the name suggests, and the Earth has no walls, CO2 cannot possibly generate Heat. Since the CO2 (.04% of the atmosphere) goes wherever the wind blows it, it can’t form some magic dome at the top of the stratosphere that holds heat in. It’s all a massive redistribution of wealth scheme.
Based on Antarctic ice cores correlated with solar activity, scientists from the Univ. of St. Petersburg predicted in 1993 that the current cooling would begin in 1998, which it actually did, and would continue for at least 40 years
It’s the Sun! The Sun is going into a weak cycle and, yes, it is taking us into a mini-ice age such as the earth experienced 300 years ago. Will it be the beginning of a full blown ice-age lasting tens of thousands of years? I don’t think anyone can say. But it does appear that the earth is heading to at least a cooling that could last tens or hundreds of years.
Imagine how cold it would be if we didn’t have all this Global Warming going on…
Oh, dear, what will happen to the warming crowd? What new fake science will they come up with to deny the cooling? Who are the real DENIERS?
Don’t people who can think for themselves not see that the AGW crowd always talks about impending disaster that are decades if not centuries away so no one is suppose to challenge their “Scientific Principles”. 2012 “D” Science student Al Gore told us in our lifetime people will not have remember snow falling. I guess after California has their 20 feet of snow in the Sierra this week he will have to start pushing that back a little. They blame everything possible on man’s intrusion and disruption to climate but conveniently ignore changes in the Sun cycles and volcanic activity including those eruptions under the ocean floor.
Call me a Flat Earther I’ll just call you politically motivated liars.
To paraphrase James Carville, “It’s the sun, stupid.”
Nothing new, here. The warming models ignored the sun. The best thing to do is vote against imbeciles, recognizing they are useful idiots for collectivist
“The warming models ignored the sun”
No they haven’t. Go read Hansen’s papers from the 80s.
The models are set-up to please the Malthusian misanthropes. You know who, don’t you?

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong, ex UNEP Director
“A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer.” -Paul Ehrlich, Stanford

Dr. Henry Kissinger, who wrote: “Depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World.”
It seems we are all attracted to the dramatic, while in fact most of life is mundane. I have serious doubts about the drama predicted in this article, although it is clear to me that the sun is far more significant in climate that the puny effect of CO2.
In looking for statistically significant oscillations in the sunspot data, both the original data and the revised (manipulated) data, there are far more cycles (close to 100) than just the “11 year cycle”, and in fact there are five significant oscillations that together produce what is regarded as the 11 year cycle.
Here are two screenshots of the charts in two of my spreadsheets. The first is based on the original data with the last data point being December, 2016. The second is based on the revised data for the same period. The top of these screenshots is a comparison of the historic record (red), a model based on many oscillations identified in the data (blue), and a simple least squares line fit to the data (green). The bottom of the screenshots is just a blowup of the latter portion of the top chart. The model did not predict the past, but the past produced the model, so in the past, obviously they match closely.
While the next two “11 year cycles” will be muted, this is not an indication that we are now entering a little ice age. Notice, however, how long we will be at near zero activity between the end of the current “11 year cycle” and the next one. There will be plenty of false conclusions being presented during this unusually long period of inactivity.
Of course the future will not unfold exactly as this analysis projects. The cycles are measured based on averages lengths, phases, and amplitudes, but prediction the variations from the averages in the future is beyond my current capabilities because my analysis is not based on some fundamentals within the sun or solar system that drive the oscillations, but just the historical sunspot numbers these fundamental produced.

I am not a scientists who is paid no matter how good or bad his work, but a speculator who uses cyclical oscillations, in part, to trade markets. In other words, I must get it right or I lose money. Looking at climate is just a side interest to me.
Russian scientists are good for two things:
Designing nuclear weapons, and
Making outlandish, unsubstantiated statements about the climate.

Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Press Release, January 10, 2010.
****
3. “More heat waves, no snow in the winter… Climate models… over 20 times more precise than the UN IPCC global models. In no other country do we have more precise calculations of climate consequences. They should form the basis for political planning… Temperatures in the wintertime will rise the most… there will be less cold air coming to Central Europe from the east…In the Alps winters will be 2°C warmer already between 2021 and 2050.”
Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, September 2, 2008.

Online-Atlas of the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, 2010
9. “We’ve mostly had mild winters in which only a few cold months were scattered about, like January 2009. This winter is a cold outlier, but that doesn’t change the picture as a whole. Generally it’s going to get warmer, also in the wintertime.”

“Pravda also describes how some experts say today’s climate models fail to take the known ocean and solar factors in account.”
Hey Pravda, the models do an awful job with cloud variability, glaciers and global ice, global precipitation, cosmic rays, natural and manmade aerosols, land use change, seasonal variations, regional climatic variations, hindcasting previous events, etc, etc, etc.
[…] NoTricksZone reports that the German language Pravda TV posted an article warning of the coming ice age. But wait, we showed you a special from the 70′s where Dr. Spock himself warned of the dangers of the coming ice age! And how about a 1975 Newsweek article that tried to scare us about freezing to death? […]
[…] Pravda: “Scientists Now Warn Of A New Ice Age” As Temperature Plummets To -80°F (-68°C) In Rus… […]
So much for scientific consensus
WHAT?! The climate has been “hacked?!” And it’s the Russians, AGAIN?!
I might have known it!
Idiots. The Earth has been in an Ice Age our entire lives, in fact over 2.5 MILLION years. And it will be in this current Ice Age for likely thousands more years. Look it up!
Quite right past climate changes cannot be wished away . Note sod ( south east deutschland) can take up a position about ice ages,now. It will be a nice change for him.
(My Theory ) His comments are generated by a sophisticated
scanning program , so are always off the point -just taking one
word and looking for something in a search program which contains
the word or phrase and automatically bringing it to hand for him to include in a reply or refutation. Often it will be irrelevant, of course.
“sophisticated scanning program ”
gees M E.. get it right…. 😉
“un-sophisticated scaMMing program.”
Climate change? How about light change? Sometimes it gets dark and sometimes it gets light? What about that???
Perhaps some genius professor can get a big, I mean really
big government grant to study that? He could then hire a few cute interns and go off to some Pacific Island and study that! He then could write a brilliant book which
would become a text which would be required reading by
any student who wants to graduate.
How about that?
Science is just a series of Mulligans!!
If you remember the predictions of global cooling in the 1970’s, you may recall that the cure of cooling is basically the same as warming, so the socialist science community can keep their agenda without missing a beat.
If we had this conditions without the ongoing Tropospheric Water Grabbing (TWG) by Tropospheric Aerosol Injection (TAI), than we could talk about a natural shift in the climate cycle.
There is already an undeclared global war on tropospheric water as a water mining and transportation resource.
It is hard to understand and accept a global scale grabbing on water behind the daily propaganda about a man made “climate change” by man made “global warming” by only man made “CO2”. However, if the victims would just replace …
Climate Change by Geoengineering
Global Warming by HAARP, TWG and TAI
everything would become clear.

The applied method robs the sunlight and leads to a global suffocation.
If DISQUS won’t censor my links I will deliver more, but You may use the above article as a starting point on the blog to study more.
I heard that polar bear farts are going to cause an ice age. The additional polar bear farts were caused due to the warming that occurred from the cow farts. As it warmed food was more available up north where the polar bears live. They started to eat more which caused the polar bears to fart more. The resulting cooling is caused by the extra polar bear farts.
Normally I find farts to be as funny as the next guy. This is not funny though… 99% of liberal scientists agree that farts are very bad for climate. The heating or cooling just depends on which animal is farting.
I think it’s just typical of the realophobic liberal left.
What they really want to do is get rid of us old farts. We have the knowledge, the experience, and the empirical (read: observational) knowledge to show and prove what we see and know.
They are only blowing gas in the wind… and it’s an ill wind that blows no good…
The greatest irony would be the intentional production of huge quantities of atmospheric CO2 in an effort to mitigate the cooling, our first attempt at terraforming. When that fails it will be obvious that this vast earth behaves of its own accord, unaffected by the minuscule activities of humans.
“The global warming climate appears to have been hacked by natural factors.”
It never was “Global Warming” Al Gores greatest Hoax in the history of man. And then they call it “Climate Change” so they do not look quite as stupid. The earth has always “Changed Climate” and the Ice Age is due by looking at soil / Rock historical records.
Of course, Russia has done this to make Hillary look bad! It’s all a great plot and Donald J. Trump is responsible because Hillary is not only the smartest woman in the world, but she is perfect too!
We are 40,000 years overdue for a big dip in Earth temperature if you look at the Vostoc Ice Core studies of the 1957 IGY UN project. It just leaps off the page if you know anything about science or statistics, but THE RUSSIANS DID IT! (gasp)

Take a piece of ice, put it in room temperature water at same time. Calculate how fast each melts, which one melted faster? Also, do another experiment. Two glasses of water. One glass of water leave in a room with a space heater not pointed at it directly and gradually heat the room. Next, in another room, keep the room cool, set at 68. Put a glass of water in this room but put it under a UV light. You will find A) ice melts faster in water than in the air and B) Sunlight heats the water faster than surrounding air temperature increase will heat the water. This simple experiment demonstrates that warming water has a bigger impact on ice melt and that water is warmed more intensely by direct sunlight than by surrounding air temperature.
“… under a UV light …”
If one wants to study “sunlight” then UV is not the choice.
You should have a full spectrum light — of that only a small part will be UV.
On the water melting ice part, the interesting issue is that in a warming situation, rain on a glacier erodes the ice rapidly. The whiteness of snow gives a high reflection (albedo) and snow also acts as an insulator between air and ice.
Further, when it snows the air is not particularly warm and doesn’t contain a lot of moisture. Warm air can contain more moisture. All of this results in glaciers growing slowly (snowfall) and eroding rapidly (rainfall).
I think you can devise much better experiments for children – science fairs than you have reported above.
Shut down HAARP,the scalar weapon of choice by the khazars.
Ground all Chemtrails spraying let nature rebalance itself.
Nope, geo engineering gottah meet the Georgia guidestones goals of population reduction.
Wish more would wake up to all this, but pizza is the latest squirrel.
it was colder in 1933.
-90f

Dear friends in Russia,
everything is ok with the climate. We have problems because of climate-engineering for tropospheric water grabbing!
We are in dangerous times, because again a western power tries to conquer the treasures of Russia.
France under Napoleon, Germans under various kings and at last with Hitler tried it, also in the background always England. Now the self claimed “single global empire” based in the USA is trying it with the help of all its vassals under the umbrella of NATO, EU, WTO, World Bank, IMF etc. etc.
In hard times You learn to know who is Your real friend. Between states we don’t really speak about friendship but about common interests. So all states and people sharing the same threat are now friends of Russia and Russia is their best friend, with honor and power.
AbuAli Wlad Putin is the savior of our times. He rescued Russia from the hands of robbing marionette oligarchs and now Russia is saving under his leadership the Middle East and the world.
Thank You for that. Thank You Russia and all Russian people.
Never let You be divided along religious and ethnic differences. The most important faith of all Russians should be Russia!
Now I would like offer insight into a field, which most people don’t understand, because You need some combined knowledge of meteorology, water physics, biology, chemistry, geography, economy etc.
The common topic is named geoengineering, which is the materialization of geostrategy on proverbial global scale.
Main target, main weapon, main weapon of geoengineering is tropospheric water!
Why is now so much water in the deserts?

This water has a TERRIBLE PRICE !!

You will find what makes You suffer!
You will find what kills by war, flood, drought, lightning, pollution & sunlight deficiency!
War in Syria, Iraq & Yemen is also on Tropospheric Solar Radiation & Water Management (TSRWM)!
It is all about WATER THEFT !!!

Moose and Squirrel will be by later to correct your theories.
They may need an assist from Gidney and Cloyd.
And here they are!

Lawrence Solomon: Proof that a new ice age has already started is stronger than ever, and we couldn’t be less prepared
Global Warming has consequences….
All of what’s happening now has been predicted by Otto Landscheidt decades ago. I guess he just used an extrapolation of the easily identifiable 60- and 200-year solar cycles whose superposition explains 99% of temperature variation – an analysis that is consciously ignored by the warmunist scientists because their livelihood depends on them ignoring it.
Hey…that German newspaper is all written in German!
OK then try this one (it’s not in German)

Basically it says —
“An absolute record in the history of measurements available to the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute.
Night from 7th to 8th January, 2017. The temperature in Dudince fell to -30.3°C, an absolute low from start of measuring in 1977. It was extremely cold all day yesterday, ranging ranged -10 to -20 degrees below normal.”
[…] In Russia, temperatures have recently reached −80°F, and scientists are warning of a new Ice Age. […]
