Indeed now we shall find out what cold is; no matter how much carbon dioxide in atmosphere increases. And carbon dioxide will increase, if eco-history is any indication. But who cares about eco-history? It’s harder to make a profit from eco-history. Our government is not interested in eco-history. Carbon dioxide is a much richer fraud. Now, as punishment, we enter the Al Gore Minimum; God help us; and God help our children.
Nothing has been done to improve cold-weather farming! Nothing.
Many scientists are in fact witches; we have learned in the past 10 years or so.
But this is nothing new!
As Dr. Baliunas (not a witch) points out, history proves that climate has often been far less hospitable than it is today. All witches may not agree with this statement; nonetheless, there it is – absolute and incontrovertible fact. Moreover, all truly scientific evidence demonstrates that these less habitable conditions have occurred repeatedly from far before recent pre-history.
Will these inhospitable intervals of climate on Earth repeat going forward; or will the climate behave in ways never observed before; as conjured by now-wealthy witches, posing as scientists?
Even without a close study of the sun, the answer to this dichotomy can only be that what we have seen many, many times will repeat; and what we have never seen may be only a repeated case of witchcraft!
Yes, witchcraft does repeat too. Obviously, humans do believe in witchcraft, even today it continues to repeat! Witchcraft will repeat again.
Can science overcome witchcraft? Given much time, it always does. But very often this sweet victory comes far too late; as the cost in human lives from the next, inevitable, hostile climate interval will evidence soon again. Is it 20 years, or 200 years? Apparently, based on the history of solar behavior, it will be sooner; as any reader of WUWT knows well.
There is still time to mitigate the results, of this “unfortunate” history, repeated. Our real misfortune is that, due to witchcraft, we blew our precious time and cash pumping CO2 down abandoned mines.
I am sure there have many turning points in the subversion of the US Constitution in California. There have been far too many to even make notice. But surely here is a turning point of great, if not final, significance.
California has fired a long-tenured professor for the content of his work; because his work is not acceptable in California’s blossoming socialist agenda. There is a review of the case on April 4, 2011.
Winter is only a short 9 days old in the UK and elsewhere.
Something seems to be up, but unfortunately warmth is not it. Has anybody checked with Al Gore?
If somebody wants to tax your energy suppliers, to prevent global warming, I think I would be upset.
If somebody doesn’t want cheap heating oil and coal, I think I would be upset.
Mostly I burn firewood. Looks like I am going to have to expand the woodlot. Oh, well. I’ve been planning for it for 3 or 4 years. Burning firewood is GREAT; especially when heating oil is too expensive.
BRITAIN’S winter is the coldest since 1683 and close to being the chilliest in nearly 1,000 years.
WINTER MAY BE COLDEST IN 1000 YEARS
30th December 2010 By Steve Hughes
BRITAIN’S winter is the coldest since 1683 and close to being the chilliest in nearly 1,000 years.
Latest figures reveal that the average temperature since December 1 has been a perishing -1C.
That makes it the second coldest since records began in 1659.
The chilliest on record was 1683/84, when the average was -1.17C and the River Thames froze over for two months.
But with January and February to come, experts believe we could suffer the most freezing cold winter in the last 1,000 years.
So, you better have back up fast-start capacity. Nukes come in handy. And nuke power is a fraction of the cost of wind. Unfortunately, nukes take a long time to build. Earth may be getting cooler fast. During really cold weather, wind turbines may put out only 2.5% to 10% of the rated power.
When cold air is trapped near the ground, wind is often quiet

Over the past ten days, when temperatures have plunged across Scotland, the average power generation from Britain’s wind developments – the majority of which are in Scotland – was 261 megawatts (MW), just 10.75 per cent of the total possible of 2,430MW.
Last Monday and Tuesday afternoon wind production fell to a major low while electricity usage peaked close to its highest level.
Shortly before 5:30pm on both days, wind power production fell to 62MW and 61 MW respectively – just 2.5 per cent of its total capacity.
At the same time on both occasions, the UK’s electricity usage rose to about 60,000MW – one of the highest ever levels of demand. Electricity demand in the UK rarely rises above 60,000MW.
Wind farms are designed to run at an average of 30 per cent of their generation capacity throughout a year.
