Oh No, we’re Doooooooooomed

Fresh pickin’s from FNC Political Grapevine

The leader of a group of Canadian scientists says global warming isn’t the biggest climate threat to the planet — global cooling is.

Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre director R. Timothy Patterson writes in the Financial Post that core samples from the bottom of deep western Canadian fjords indicate climate change correlates to solar cycles of varying lengths — and show little correlation between climate change and carbon dioxide levels.

Patterson writes that the sun will begin its weakest solar cycle of the past two centuries by the year 2020. He says that could lead to unusually cool conditions that could threaten agriculture in extreme northern regions.

Global cooling isn’t a new idea — a famous TIME Magazine article raised the possibility of another Ice Age — back in 1974.

  1. Well, maybe this means I can finally get some decent apples in Florida in @ 13 years.

    /Note to self: Plant apple seeds.

  2. It snowed here in south Miss. (about 10 years ago)

  3. The last measurable snowfall (where it actually “stuck”) was 1/4″ in 1989. Heh. All the bridges were closed, the airport was closed, it was right before Christmas and travelers were stranded EVERYWHERE because you can’t go any distance at all without crossing a bridge. Good times.

  4. That was the only snow my daughter has ever seen.

  5. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…We all gonna die!
    Can you say Maunder Minimum?
    /I knew you could

  6. Possible Causes for Climate Change.
    Hmmm…must be a pack of deniers, I don’t see any sections on the Industrial Revolution or Hummers.

  7. Hey, I know!
    We can invade Mexico when it gets cold.
    Hell, there ain’t nobody there anyway, they are all in LA, Arizona, and Texas.

  8. Speak for yourself. I still have flashes of immortality.

    /or maybe that’s infertility.

  9. Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina….pretty much everywhere I’ve been lately, the signs in the small towns have been for mercados and tiendas and taquerias and iglesias.

  10. Yeah, they everywhere…and we all gonna die!
    Unless we follow our manifest destiny and take over Mexico, which we should have done in 1848.

  11. nite y’all

  12. Dang, nuke. I don’t want to be a vegan, and I can’t raise my own chickens, pigs, and cows.
    Not to mention their creative driving techniques.
    Well, goodnight you two.

  13. Good night, y’all sleeping beauties.

  14. Well, it makes sense to take over Mexico if you want to do strategic planning for the future because you know that yellowstone caldera is gonna blow sometime in the next few thousand years and that will cause an instant ice age and extinction for a great part of the west.

  15. But are the people in the heat-challenged areas of the world going to blame Bush for not putting out enough carbon dioxide and therefore mitigating the effects of global cooling?

  16. We must act now to save the citrus trees and alligators!

  17. I will do my part and fire up the grill this evening. I expect you slackers to do the same.
