Ice AgePrecursors Upon Us -

How close is the
return of the Ice Age?
Ice Age Climate Change vs. Global Warming Carbon Politics
No, the Ice Age isn't coming. It
is already here. The Earth has been in an Ice Age Epoch for 2 million years
already, with deep glaciation that piles up ice sheets up to 13,000 feet deep
that typically cover all of Canada and extend into the northern U.S.
States. The cause for the ice age cycles has been poorly understood in
the past. Many new discoveries have been made that open up a new perspective
of the ice age dynamics and our relationship with it.
During the last million years the long
Ice Age deep freeze has been periodically interrupted with nice warm
interglacial holiday periods, like the present one that has run its curse. We
now face a return to the normal Ice Age climate for the Earth. This
poses some big questions:
·Are we prepared for the impending return
to the normal Ice Age world that is typically 30 times colder than the Little
Ice Age had been?
·Are we prepared to relocate our
endangered agriculture that our food-supply depends on, into areas that the
Ice Age cooling cannot reach?
·Are we prepared to launch the needed
industrial revolution for creating infrastructures to meet the Ice Age
Challenge that now confronts us?
·Are we prepared to face reality, with
real scientific advances that have been made quietly in the background,
rather than to continue dreaming the politically orchestrated dream of global
warming that has lulled humanity to sleep for the profits of a few?
The longest cycles are the 150 million year cycles
They have caused four major glaciation
periods that are known to have occurred in geologic time, spaced 150 million
years apart. These extremely long cycles appears to reflect cyclical
variables outside of our galaxy, as all other explanations are seriously
flawed to the point that they don't make any sense at all.
Some theories have it that the shorter
cycles are caused by the solar system bobbing up and down across the galactic
plane (ecliptic) as it orbits around the galactic center. No cause for such
an effect is known. However, in an electric galaxy such an effect would
mirror on the large scale what has been observed within the solar heliosphere
in the form of the spiraling nature of the heliospheric current sheet. A
similar phenomenon appears to exist on the galactic scale. The
62-million year cycles can be explained as a phenomenon that is caused by
electric action as we see it reflected in the wave action of the current sheet
that extends across the solar heliosphere on the ecliptic plane. A spinning
wave-like pattern has been observed resulting from electromagnetic
interaction of the electric current with the 'spinning' solar magnetic field.
On the galactic scale such a phenomenon would lift our solar system
cyclically above and below the galactic ecliptic, as is currently assumed to
be happening.
On this larger stage the galactic spiral
arms are the current sheet. Consequently one would expect to find similar
wave actions occurring on the larger stage of the galaxy, affecting the stars
and their relative position to the galactic ecliptic plane, resulting in
electric current density variations and corresponding cosmic-ray density
variations, such as we see secondarily reflected in the 62 million year
cycles superimposed in the above graph.
If we look at the last of the 62 million
year cycles (above) and compare it with known events, we find the freeze-up
of Antarctica (around 30 million years ago), and its subsequent melting, and
renewed freeze-up, to fall perfectly within the timeframe of the current
62-million year cycle.
We are presently at a low point of the 62
million year cycle, which corresponds with the current Pleistocene Epoch, the
most intense Ice Age Epoch of this cycles, which began 2 million years ago
and appears to be presently at its mid point, being centered at the low point
of both the 150 and 62 million year cycles.
During the last million years of the
Pleistocene Epoch (the current Ice Age Epoch), deep glaciation has occurred,
interspersed every 100,000 years with warm interglacial periods of an average
duration in the 13,000-year range.
Four major 'short-term' cycles are
related the 100,000-year glacial/interglacial cyclical patterns. Of these
three cycles are related to the orbital characteristics of the Earth. They
are generally referred to as the Milankovitch Cycles. And there is a fourth
cycle in the 100,000-year timeframe that is superimposed in step with the
Milankovitch Cycles are related to. Since this fourth cycle is driving the
Ice Age show, that the Milankovitch Cycles stand in the background of, and
this cycle is evidently routed in the dynamics of the galaxy itself, precise
perditions of the start of the next transition to glaciation is not possible,
the moral imperative must therefore be to make the necessary preparations for
a new agricultural infrastructure for mankind that won't be affected by the
cold of the coming glaciation, regardless of when this may happen.

New studies flip climate-change
notions upside down
by Sam Khoury
The sun will go into "hibernation"
mode around 2030, and it has already started to get sleepy. At the Royal
Astronomical Society's annual meeting in July, Professor Valentina Zharkova of
Northumbria University in the UK confirmed it - the sun will begin its Maunder
Minimum (Grand Solar Minimum) in 15 years. Other scientists had suggested years
ago that this change was imminent, but Zharkova's model is said to have
near-perfect accuracy.
So what is a "solar minimum"?
Our sun doesn't maintain a constant intensity. Instead, it cycles in spans of
approximately 11 years. When it's at its maximum, it has the highest number of
sunspots on its surface in that particular cycle. When it's at its minimum, it
has almost none. When there are more sunspots, the sun is brighter. When there
are fewer, the sun radiates less heat toward Earth.
But that's not the only cooling effect of a solar minimum. A dim sun doesn't
deflect cosmic rays away from Earth as efficiently as a bright sun. So, when
these rays enter our atmosphere, they seed clouds, which in turn cool our
planet even more and increase precipitation in the form of rain, snow and hail.
Solar cycles
Since the early 1800s we have enjoyed healthy solar cycles and the rich
agriculture and mild northern temperatures that they guarantee. During the Middle
Ages, however, Earth felt the impact of four solar minimums over the course of
400 years.
The last Maunder Minimum and its accompanying mini-Ice Age saw the most
consistent cold, continuing into the early 1800s.
The last time we became concerned about cooler temperatures - possibly dangerously
cooler - was in the 1970s. Global temperatures have declined since the 1940s,
as measured by Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The PDO Index is a recurring
pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centred over the Pacific Ocean.
Determined by deep currents, it is said to shift between warm and cool modes.
Some scientists worried that it might stay cool and drag down the Atlantic
Decadal Oscillation with it, spurring a new Ice Age. The fear was exacerbated
by the fact that Earth has been in the current inter-glacial period for 10,000
years (depending on how the starting point is gauged).
If Earth were to enter the next Ice Age too quickly, glaciers could advance
much further south, rainforests could turn into savannah, and sea levels could
drop dramatically, causing havoc.
The BBC, all three major American TV networks, Time magazine and the New York
Times all ran feature stories highlighting the scare. Fortunately, by 1978 the
PDO Index shifted back to warm and the fear abated.
Climate science vs
the sceptics
By the 1990s the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had
formed the "97 per cent consensus". The consensus was that Earth was warming
more than it should, not just due to natural causes but also human activity.
This was termed Anthropogenic Global Warming. The culprit was identified as
carbon dioxide generated from the burning of fossil fuels.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas and its increase in the atmosphere could be dangerous,
the panel claimed. Some of these scientists, particularly those working at the
US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Nasa's Goddard
Institute for Space Studies and Britain's Meteorological Office, have gone so
far as to declare CO2 as the primary driver of climate on Earth. This modern "climate
science" has stirred unprecedented controversy in the field. Sceptics,
clinging to more traditional approaches, say the science has been corrupted by
the billions of dollars in government funding for climate-change research and
agencies and industries that claim to be "fighting climate change".
The counter-argument is that the sceptics are backed by the oil, gas and coal
industries or are affiliated with conservative political groups.
The biggest bone of contention between the two groups is how the data are
assessed. In the United States, the recorded temperature data go back to 1880,
and elsewhere not even that far. Those data have to be "stapled on"
to the ice-core data used to determine temperatures in earlier times. This has
led to controversial representations, such as the infamous "hockey
stick" graph released by the IPCC that gave the impression the world is
hotter now than ever. Many scientists slammed the graph as wholly unrealistic,
insisting that previous eras, such as the medieval warm period and the Holocene
maximum were warmer than today.
Another issue is the urban "heat island" effect. Black asphalt roads
and concrete structures absorb heat from the sun. Roy Spencer, a climatologist
at the University of Alabama and former IPCC alumnus, charged in 2013 that the
NOAA was "warming up" readings at rural temperature stations to match
the urban ones rather than the reverse. A spokesman for the NOAA responded but
stopped short of denying it.
In the 2009 "climategate scandal", e-mails and documents from
IPCC-affiliated scientists were leaked that indicated they had manipulated data
and reports to jibe with the AGW theory. References were made to "hiding
the decline" through the use of "tricks". Then in 2012 Anthony
Watts, a meteorologist and self-described whistle-blower, caught the NOAA
changing temperature data from the 1930s to make the decade appear colder than
it had been. Another whistle-blower, blogger Tony Heller, although clearly
aligned with conservative groups like the Heartland Institute, has amassed
impressive data. He claims that, since 1997, the world has actually been
getting colder and Goddard and the NOAA are committing "climate
fraud". The NOAA has declined to respond.

instabilities from greenhouse gases pouring into the atmosphere are indeed
causing massive changes and currently injecting chaos into the biosphere]

Global cooling?
Around 2000, the PDO Index started to blow cold again, possibly causing
global warming to "pause", as the mainstream scientists describe it.
IPCC-affiliated scientists as well as Nasa and the NOAA attribute the pause to
other factors. This is when the plot thickens.
Solar cycle 24 - two cycles prior the cycle that's expected to bottom out into
a Maunder Minimum - was weak. In 2013-14 it reached its maximum far below
average. Meanwhile extreme cold-weather anomalies have occurred around the
world. Last year "polar vortices" slammed into the central US and
Siberia as a third hovered over the Atlantic. All 50 US states, including
Hawaii, had temperatures below freezing for the first time in recorded history.
Snowfall records were broken in cities in the US, Canada, Italy, New Zealand,
Australia, Japan and elsewhere. Southern American states and central Mexico,
where snow is rare, got heavy snow, as did the Middle East.
This past summer the cold didn't let up, with more temperature records across
the US and rare summer snows seen in Canada, the US and China. Birds have
migrated early in the last two years. Antarctic sea ice set a new record in
2013 and it was broken again in 2014.
Not even Thailand was immune. In 2014 Bangkok hit its coldest low in 30 years,
while 63 lives were lost in the North.
Scientists at the Climate and Environmental Physics and Oeschger Centre for
Climate Change Research at the University of Berne in Switzerland have recently
backed up theories that support the sun's importance in determining the climate
on Earth. A paper published last year by the American Meteorological Society
contradicts claims by IPCC scientists that the sun couldn't be responsible for
major shifts in climate. Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and
Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, rejected IPCC
assertions that solar variations don't matter. Among the many studies and
authorities she cited was the National Research Council's recent report
"The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate".
Other researchers and organisations are also predicting global cooling - the
Russian Academy of Science, the Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of
Scientists, the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism Russia, Victor Manuel
Velesco Herrera at the National University of Mexico, the Bulgarian Institute
of Astronomy, Dr Tim Patterson at Carleton University in Canada, Drs Lin Zhen
at Nanjing University in China, just to name a few.
For now nevertheless, the IPCC and other authoritative agencies are sticking to
their CO2-dominant climate-forcing theory. They attribute the cold spells to a
disruption in the jet stream caused by Anthropogenic Global Warming. Some of
their theories have heads being scratched, for instance the "pause"
in global warming they attribute to heat being absorbed deep into the oceans.
When Antarctic ice reached record levels in 2013, scientists were
"baffled" because the water beneath the ice was warm, they claimed.
In climate science old and new, nothing is certain.
We conclude with a bit of good news, though. Recent research has determined
that the famous Stradivarius violin owes its unique, esteemed sound to the last
Maunder Minimum. The solar condition changed the texture of the trees that
provided the wood from which the instrument was crafted. So lovers of classical
music can place their orders for the next generation of incomparable violins,
coming - giving the trees time to mature - in about 100 years.
