Lindy, they've got this covered: <Don't forget, some of the people who are predicting a hotter climate were predicting a coming Ice age not too long ago. > The answer is now that global warming will cause an ice-age. So we get two disasters for the price of one and a double terror for humans and presumably a doubling in salary for climatologist fear-mongers and shroud-wavers. They saw how much money the Y2K panic conjured up for the IT mystics. They want a piece of the action. Mqurice

Hi LindyBill, You raise some interesting questions. I had a conversation on the Bush thread on such matters. (just follow the posts) here is a "condensation" of some of the links. On top of the data, I use my noodle on interpreting the local weather. Sailing around these parts ensures I keep a keen interest in it. Message 16706718 defra.gov.uk ncdc.noaa.gov cpluhna.nau.edu

From the article in this weeks New Yorker: For at least half a million years, and probably a lot longer, warm periods and ice ages have alternated according to a fairly regular, if punishing, pattern: ten thousand years of warmth, followed by ninety thousand years of cold. The current warm period, the Holocene, is now ten thousand years old, and, all things being equal—which is to say had we not interfered with the pattern by burning fossil fuels—we should now be heading toward another ice age. newyorker.com
