A report released at the end of January by British climate scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit showed that the Earth’s average temperatures have dropped to the same levels seen back in 1997 before the so-called “big warmup.”
The British scientists agree with many Russian and Japanese climate scientists that the world could be headed toward a mini ice age sometime in the near future.
The Czech Republic town of Kvilda on Feb. 4 logged an all-time record low temperature of minus 40 degrees. On the same morning, Graubuenden, Switzerland, plunged to minus 35 degrees, likewise a record low.
The record coldwave pushed all the way south into North Africa. One Saharan outpost reported 16 degrees. This trading station had never seen a minimum temperature below 25 degrees.
Clearly, the Brits at one of the focal points of the "climategate" email scandal have joined ranks with the Deniers of the Religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming. It's time to call Peter Gleick, so he can set them straight. He's good at faking documents.
Of course, forty years ago, we were all gonna die because of Anthropogenic Global Cooling. Today, the media dismiss it as mythology, but the fact of the matter is that in the 1970's, many of the people who today are profiting from the AGW scare were pushing AGC.
