So much for 'global warming': Scientist predicts 'mini Ice Age' ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A Russian astronomer has predicted that Earth will experience a "mini Ice Age" in the middle of this century, caused by low solar activity. Khabibullo Abdusamatov of the Pulkovo Astronomic Observatory in St. Petersburg said Monday that temperatures will begin falling six or seven years from now, when global warming caused by increased solar activity in the 20th century reaches its peak, RIA Novosti reported. The coldest period will occur 15 to 20 years after a major solar output decline between 2035 and 2045, Abdusamatov said. Dramatic changes in the earth's surface temperatures are an ordinary phenomenon, not an anomaly, he said, and result from variations in the sun's energy output and ultraviolet radiation. (well DUH!) The Northern Hemisphere's most recent cool-down period occurred between 1645 and 1705. The resulting period, known as the Little Ice Age, left canals in the Netherlands frozen solid and forced people in Greenland to abandon their houses to glaciers, the scientist said. © Copyright 2006 United Press International, Inc.

Oscar agenda "Hollywood loves Islamic terrorists. Especially Palestinian ones. And they don't care for Israel, either. "That's the message we got with [last week's] announcement of Oscar nominations. Oscar turns 78, and dementia in old age has apparently set in. "Both Steven [Spielberg's] 'Munich' and pro-Hamas Palestinians' 'Paradise Now' (Best Foreign Film) got nominations for Oscars. ... "But the most meaningful award, box office returns, gave both movies a strong thumbs down. Both movies, which legitimize Islamic terrorists, were huge flops. ... "?'Syriana' -- which also paints Islamic terrorists as nice people who had to do it because we made them lose their jobs on the oil fields, so they had to turn to extremist Islam and homicide bombs -- also got nominated (blowhard George Clooney as Best Actor). "Oscar also loves gay agenda films, too, apparently. Not only did 'Brokeback Mountain' get eight nominations, but 'TransAmerica' was also nominated." -- Debbie Schlussel, writing on "The Terrorism (& Gay) Oscars," Tuesday at www.debbieschlussel.com
