Global Cooling?
For a few years those that know me on one of two weather forums know that I have long denounced man made global warming as myth. My reason has been that although there is no doubt that since the 1980's the world has warmed - this has all happened before. Indeed widespread evidence seems to have been ignored in that the world has been far warmer than at present not once but several times in its checkered past. I also pointed out evidence from ice and mud cores has shown that past cooling has also come on far more rapidly than in the past thought - from a warm world to ice cold in less than a decade.
I have been saying for about three years now that far from warming the earth had in fact reached a turning point - and that there were in fact evidence to support the world was cooling. Of course these statements were met with howls of laughter from the supporters of the new cause - GW.
It was also hard to ignore the fact several cold temperature records were recorded last year in the Southern Hemisphere, coupled with a fast growing ice sheet in Antarctica that this summer has seen ice levels 30% higher than last. Add to this Baghdad saw its first recorded snow ever - China's hardest winter for more than 100 years - the largest snow cover in North America for more than 50 years, record cold in Iran, Argentina, Chile, Greece - a long list that goes on it was no surprise to see the latest statement released by Hadley, Nassa, Giss, Uah and Rss.
A statement released by these organizations conclude that the world has cooled so much in the last year alone - it has all but wiped out 100 years of warming.
Evidence from all four major global temperature tracking agencies around the world now show the world has experienced the fastest most single temperature change - both up and down in a single year. The report makes alarming reading in a world that has of late got used to warmth. It can be read at:
