BS, you can read my October 2008 anlyses of the short term climate future for the following 3 winters and then the "Argghhhh it's getting really cold" prediction for 2020 when we should be into a seriously cold period of Little Ice Age proportions, which could well be the prelude to a full scale reglaciation, since we are at the end of an interglacial period. If we are very lucky, the CO2 increase over the previous 100 years and the slight warming effect might be sufficient to hold the cold at bay. But my bet is that is not correct. Looking back over hundreds of years of solar activity it was obvious [to me, though apparently not to others] that we were heading into a very substantial output decline and my October 2008 prediction was for a smoothed sunspot peak at 72 for the next maximum. A couple of years later, official scientists caught up with what I had observed and decided that I was right [though they were not aware I existed]. Now, the sun has confirmed by activity up to now in the current solar cycle that my prediction is going to be near enough for government work. As you know, I like to be precise to more significant figures than is really justified, so 72 instead of 73 or 71 was not meant to be taken too seriously. But it really was going to be somewhere between 60 and 80 rather than the 160 or whatever "real" scientists and Global Doomsters were thinking. It could have even been a total bust down to none or not many but that was not so likely. "Landshark" [the reply] is not worth commenting on or responding to. Dogs bark. So does he. He is a reason-free zone. Mqurice
