Some impressive winter events have been taking place all across the northern hemisphere lately. Especially eastern and southeastern Europe have been pounded by massive snowfalls and tremendously cold temperatures. Turkey has been buried by heavy snows and extreme temperatures have gripped the entire USA and vast areas of Russia. The global warming climate appears to have been hacked by natural factors. Extreme cold and snow pound the northern hemisphere as some scientists warn of the potential for ice age conditions. Photo of Greenland by NASA (public domain) In Russia Moscow celebrated the coldest orthodox Christmas in 125 years. Snowfall paralyzed the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Massive snow falls across the Balkans, Italy and Greece. Dozens of Europeans have since frozen to death. Northern Albania villages have been cut off by 120 cm of snow. A temperature of -62°C (-80°F) was recorded in Chanty-Mansijsk (Russia). Arctic conditions spread deep into the Mediterranean These are all odd events when considering the “consensus” forecasts made 15 years ago, which warned that snow and ice would become rare. In fact many scientists warned that Mediterranean conditions would spread into northern Europe. Lately, however, just the opposite has happened: Arctic conditions have plunged down into the Mediterranean! Even worse, there is no end in site for the harsh European winter conditions, German mass circulation daily Bild writes here. Warning of an impending ice age So in the face of all the earlier global warming predictions, it is now only ironic that yesterday the German-language Pravda TV site here published an article warning of an impending ice age. The article cites Yale scientist Wei Liu and a recent paper he published on the “overlooked possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation“. Should the ocean heat conveyor collapse, then there would be “a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland.” Note: Pravda is a rebel-type German site, and so could be viewed to be in the same category as climate alarmist sites. It offers an opposite view. Useless models The Pravda report summarizes Liu’s paper as follows: CO2 has nothing to do with it, rather the influence of the sun is the dominant factor: less sunspots (Climate: solar physicists project global cooling (video)), weakening of the earth’s magnetic field, impact on the jet stream are decisive factors that can quickly lead our climate into an ice age (Scientists: Consensus 2016: the climate models are useless (Video)).” Pravda also describes how some experts say today’s climate models fail to take the known ocean and solar factors in account. - See more at: notrickszone.com/2017/01/10/pravda-scientists-now- warn-of-a-new-ice-age-as-temperature-plummets-to-80f-in- russia/#sthash.K1JUryKZ.DwPVQs4Q.dpuf Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 2.

I have maintained for years that water vapor, not CO2, is earth's greenhouse gas. At only 1 part in 3,000 in the earth's atmosphere, CO2 is a trace gas and has negligible effect on temperature. The atmosphere has been losing CO2 for billions of years and now the earth is CO2 starved. We would be better of if there was 2 to 5 times as much CO2 in the atmosphere because that would aid plant growth. A half billion years ago, there was 12 to 20 times as much CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature was near the same. The fact is, we are in the middle of a couple million years long Ice Age. In Ice Ages, there are warm periods lasting 10 to 15 thousand years. Our warm period has lasted 12 thousand years so we are due, within the next 20 to 3 thousand years, to return to the Ice Age and, at the present time, there is nothing humans could do to prevent it.
