2-23 In Search Of... The Coming Ice Age (Part 3 of 3)

Way to go Buffalo, my old home town....SNOW

[longfootbuddy]

they know most people dont look at the big picture.. they count on lazy minded people who will believe anything an authority figure says..and they know theyll obey them too..and they know as long as they scare their brainwashed little slaves, theyll love handing over all freedom to be protected and guided by their all knowing wizards with guns and carrot sticks...nothing but a big, united collection of imbiciles that think theyre smart

over the last 40 years the predictied sea level rise went from 6 feet by 2100 to only 1 foot. as for the global heating, in the 1900's, in oklahoma, the temps where reaching into the 110*F last summer, the highist temp was only 109*F in the same town. the last 10 years i lived here, i never saw the temp go over 110*F except once so where are there facts comeing from?

The moral of this story is not to believe people when they tell you they can change the weather if you do this or that. Then, or now.

[typwriterT]

cold is much more deadly on the planet than heat is.

[Gromitdog1]

And the solution will be to raise taxes, al gore will lead the way.

[0urGaia]

australia drought looks over and winter was as cold it was 20 years ago.

[mhmscifi11]

I remember this years winter here in norway. it was epic. Usualy, where I live, the snow lasts 2-3 weeks, but it lasted 3 months! It was epic. Someplaces, temperature dropt to -40! BTW -40*C = -40*F. Since we get a lot of snow every year, this wasn't a horrific time, just fun.

[fiddlingglassblower]

The video is sensationalist, but not wrong. We are nearing the end of an interglacial, the Holocene, which began 11,500 years ago, and we are certainly due for another ice age. In the shorter term, however, an extremely quiet sun suggests conditions rivaling the Dalton period, or even that during the Maunder Minimum, or the period of the Little Ice Age.

Schneider hopped on the Warmist bandwagon, though, much to his shame, and to the detriment of science, and of mankind.

[doawkins]

Schneider dies yesterday. His legacy includes getting 100 million dollars from Exxon for his school. Big Oil backed.

This scared the daylights out of me when I saw it c 1977. Winter temps in Pennsylvania hit twenty below . People couldn't leave their houses. I remember Dad heating the pipes in the basement with a blowtorch to keep them from freezing and bursting.. And we got off fairly easy. Great post, thank you.

[scottieman2]

I have an idea. Make a machine that will have the whole world one temp. Not hot not cold. Warm enough for plants to grow and not cold enough to kill them.

[cidrosmith]

It sounds like the scientists don't know what the hell is going on. What will these academics be claiming on 30 years?

[scottieman2]

I really think that meterologist don't know jack about weather. One time I was watching the local weather and they showed purple on the radar saying it is really bad weather and I looked out side, it was clear and sunny. Right......

[ExperienceCounts2]

@cidrosmith Why don't you read the IPCC projections from the 1990, 1992, 1995, 2001 and 2007. Then you'll have a summary of what scientists have been saying for at least 20 years and you can compare their projections to the measured changes in the climate. And BTW, scientists and academics are not interchangeable so your rhetorical question doesn't make sense.

[nyer82]

Best part is Stephen Schneider at the end of this video. Here's a guy who has completely swapped sides from Global Cooling Alarmist (70s) to Global Warming Alarmist (Today). But notice his message is different now, before he spoke about the cure maybe being worse than the disease.

[TheSlowThinker]

@nyer82 "We can't predict with any certainty what's happening to our own climatic future..." says Schneider. He then comments on the risks of action when our knowledge is so limited. Since then our knowledge of climate has improved, in part due to Schneider's research, and it is now very evident that the planet is warming. I wouldn't say that going from uncertainty to understanding means he has "completely swapped sides".

[ExperienceCounts2]

@nyer82 Best part is that deniers still don't know the difference between a TV program and the scientific process. Not to mention the fact that Schneider never at any point predicted cooling of any sort. All of his statements related to change in climate or attempts at engineering climate. Most intelligent people can spot that "subtle" difference.

His science was based on evidence. Where is your evidence?

[curiosandrelics]

(see prev post) They loaded us on over capacity buses and crawled through the whiteout conditions to our neighborhoods. The roads were officially declared closed while we were in route and at one point we had to be let past a roadblock. Due to the already building snow, the bus could not turn off the main drag on to my street - ironically "Sunshine Drive". We jumped off the bus in our jean jackets and walked the half mile in winds so strong that we were knocked over more than once. Good times!

[curiosandrelics]

I was a junior at Sweet Home High School in Amherst, NY on day one of the Blizzard of '77. We were picked up at our bus stop in the pitch black just as the storm started. They hauled us to school, then an hour later realized how bad it was getting. They turned the bus fleet right around and transported the K-6 kids home first, then junior high schoolers. We at the senior high were nearly trapped at the school by the blizzard (would have been for 11 days - imagine the chaos). continued...

[jpozenel]

In the winter of 69-70 I worked outside in the Cleveland area delivering heating oil. This involved pulling a hose from tank to tank in mobile home parks, 6 days a week, for about 10 hours a day. The owner said it was the coldest winter he could remember since he had the company (25+ years.) He said he never made so much money, but would prefer to get a little more rest. And it only got worse throughout the 70s. After that decade, I still tend to have my doubts about global warming.

[prince2873]

The only solution to our climate fears is the destruction of the sun. Then...it will be very predictable.

[ghendric]

Ahh, the good ol' days of global freezing... I miss those days.. I remember 1977 very well.. We had some serious sled riding going on then!

[annoyingu4fun]

How come there are not any global warmist alarmists here to debate with?

[mhmscifi11]

@annoyingu4fun They froze to death

[annoyingu4fun]

I was in college when this was popular... Now when the youngsters start with it again? gotta say "Fool me once ..shame on you.. fool me twice shame on me... never again.

[tuttt99]

Global cooling as a much bigger threat than global warming.

[hitman2070]

I was a very young child in Connecticut during that harsh '77 winter. I do recall bone chilling cold and tons of snow. But then, a miracle happened....I was told it was called...spring! Then summer followed, and wow was it hot. Curiously this cold-warm-hot pattern seemed to inexplicably repeat itself, and always at the same time of year too. My elders told me it's always been that way, and since '77 that pattern hasn't deviated much. But what do I know. Clearly I look out my window too much.

[annoyingu4fun]

I was much older than you. But I have noticed this cycle too.

[jdsthebest]

What a load of rubbish. It beggars belief that doom merchants like this Schneider fellow now have the whole political establishment dancing to their loony tune - when a mere 35 years ago they were peddling a the exact opposite doomsday scenario. How gullable do they think we are?

[rondygal]

My ex lived here during that storm in Buffalo. Just a soph in high school, it took him 6 hours to drive the 3 miles from school to home. Just about 10 yrs ago, we had 7ft almost overnight. Not a fun thing to be sure

[annoyingu4fun]

Perhaps Buffalo is not doing their job at putting CO2 in the atmosphere.

[DrDave953]

How soon people forget!

Note, coldest in 30 years!

This was 30 years ago & now we're being scared by warming.

Looking at the 'Global' temps, we seem to be at the 30 year peak & headed perhaps back to cold.

Steven Schnieder is one of the current alarmists warning of CAGW.

He's famous for his 'scary scenarios' speech, the one about the balance between honesty & effect LOL

Stephen Schneider

quote "That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This 'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula."

[Jonnstone]

It's a frosty nightmare!!!!

[OxAO]

thank you for this
