Everything I Know Is Wrong: A New Mini Ice Age.

Everything I Know Is Wrong: A New Mini Ice Age.: "A New Mini Ice Age.

My friend Tim points to this article where a Russian scientist is predicting that a mini ice age will occur in just a few decades.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov of the Pulkovo Astronomic Observatory in St. Petersburg said Monday that temperatures will begin falling six or seven years from now, when global warming caused by increased solar activity in the 20th century reaches its peak, RIA Novosti reported.

Abdusamatove said that fluctuations in the Earths surface temperature are normal and are caused by differences in solar activity.

The Northern Hemisphere's most recent cool-down period occurred between 1645 and 1705. The resulting period, known as the Little Ice Age, left canals in the Netherlands frozen solid and forced people in Greenland to abandon their houses to glaciers, the scientist said.

It is reports like this one that have global warming scaremongers changing their terminology to 'global climate change.'"
