Mexican Scientist Warns of 60 - 80 Year ‘Little Ice Age’

in: News, Opinion, The Fiction of Global Warming

Look out High Priest Al Gore and all you unthinking drones of the MDI* but it seems that the earth may be entering a “little ice age” and it will be decreased solar activity that will be the cause. Or so says a Mexican scientist in a recent article on the website Milenio.

From Milenio:

An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.

Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the UNAM, as argued earlier during a conference that teaches at the Centre for Applied Sciences and Technological Development.

In the event, the specialist in remote sensing systems said that the recent rupture of the Argentine Perito Moreno glacier, unusual for having produced a full austral winter, was not due to global warming.

The event was due, he said, a natural process caused by temperature and precipitation of the river.

Hmmm… That makes me wonder what could be causing the fabled retreating of other glaciers around the planet. Could it possibly be warmer waters carried by the natural currents in the world’s oceans melting coastal ice from the glaciers? And could it possibly be due to increased solar activity that the waters are warmer? Seems plausible to me.

Have you ever wondered, is the ice really retreating or is it just a perception created by photo journalists who record footage during the summer months and the melting is normal seasonal melting? Like the now famous footage of a polar bear and her cub clinging to an ice flow. All I’m asking is - IS IT POSSIBLE. They never seem to take pictures during the winter season in the Arctic.

The article continues:

Velasco Herrera described as erroneous predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), pursuant to which the planet is experiencing a gradual increase in temperature, the so-called global warming.

The models and forecasts of the IPCC “is incorrect because only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity,” said the specialist also in image processing and signs and prevention of natural disasters.

The phenomenon of climate change, he added, should include other kinds of factors, both internal, such as volcanoes and the very human activity, and external, such as solar activity. - emphasis mine

Doesn’t it seem like I’ve been saying that very thing for the past 2 - count ‘em 2 - years?!?

I love it when I’m right.
