New Ice Age ‘to begin in 2014’
Russian scientist to alarmists: ‘Sun heats Earth!’

A new “Little Ice Age” could begin in just four years, predicted Habibullo Abdussamatov, the head of space research at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia.
Abdussamatov was speaking yesterday at the Heartland Institute’s Fourth International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago, which began Sunday and ends today.
The Little Ice Age, which occurred after an era known in scientific circles as the Medieval Warm Period, is typically defined as a period of about 200 years, beginning around 1650 and extending through 1850.
In the first of a two-part video WND recorded at the conference, Abdussamatov explained that average annual sun activity has experienced an accelerated decrease since the 1990s. In 2005-2008, he said, the earth reached the maximum of the recent observed global-warming trend.

In Part 2 of the video, Abdussamatov further explained that through 2014 the earth will go through a series of unstable variations in which global temperature will oscillate around the maximum reached in the years 1998-2005.
In 2003-2005, Abdussamatov predicted a reduction of sunspot activity that would reach a new minimum in 2042, resulting in a deep global temperature minimum in the years 2055-2060.
“My predictions are looking better and better with each passing year,” Abdussamatov declared.
Space station to refine predictions
In his capacity of the head of the Russian-Ukrainian project “Astrometria” on the Russian segment of the International Space Station, Abdussamatov is conducting additional research to refine his prediction that a new Little Ice Age will begin in 2014.
As seen in Part 2 of the video, Abdussamatov explained to the climate conference that the Russian segment of the ISS is scheduled to collect more precise data on sun activity over the next six years.
“If the Astrometria project is developed in time,” Abdussamatov said, “we will be able to develop a more precise forecast of the duration and the depth of the approaching new Little Ice Age and to understand the reasons of cyclical changes taking place in the interior of the sun and the ways they affect the Earth and various scopes of human activity.”
Abdussamatov’s theory is that “long-term variations in the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth are the main and principal reasons driving and defining the whole mechanism of climatic changes from the global warmings to the Little Ice Ages to the big glacial periods.”
In his speech’s conclusion, Abdussamatov took on advocates of the theory of man-caused warming who want to diminish human use of hydrocarbon fuels. He contended, instead, that a reasonable way to combat coming cooling trends would be “to maintain economic growth in order to adapt to the upcoming new Little Ice Age in the middle of the 21st century.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
I bet if there were carbons in snow, Gore would set up a snowball trading scheme and make millions like he has with global warming bs.
Seriously though, I wonder if THIS is the ‘ice age’ that they told us was upon us back in 1971?
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

When I moved to the Kansas City area back in the late 90’s, by this time of year we had continual temperatures of over 100 degrees. Last night on the news they announced it’s been two years since Kansas City has hit temperatures of 100 degrees or more. What struck me is the meteorologist who said this also believes in Global Warming.
I simply cannot understand a commencement speech like this;
How people can support or vote for candidates that are so immersed in themselves, they lose sight of where they are, what they are saying, and who they are saying it to.
Must be because they really don’t care about the people they’re speaking to:

Onbama has been trying to get China to go along with the global warming scam they want no part of it. Now with the Russians going to global cooling this should put a real chink in environmentalist whacko armor. If Cap and trade go through we will be a third world nation. If this keeps up Mexico will have more worth than we do.
… and Babeushka, GOD made the SUN, MOON and STARS! Imagine that? I missed yall!!
Thanks so much.
Carlos, thanks for the link. I think you are right, they could care less who they are speaking to.
Darth, hahahaha I missed you too.
Bring on the cooling. I am tired of having 110 *F summers in the Central Valley. of course cotton, raisins, and a few other crops will suffer, with a cool down, but it is all about me, now isn’t it? if it can be all about the o, for 8 years, it can be all about me. Its only fair, and being fair is the only consideration, for the BBFN liberals.
