'Big chill' expected to stay until 2040

Major cooling cycle could match 'Little Ice Age'
​

As the largest snowfall of the winter hits the eastern U.S., politicians and interest groups will claim the latest weather is proof of their position in the climate debate, but a prominent climatologist says this is nothing more than the latest development in a cooling cycle that started over a decade ago and could continue into 2040.

Climate-change activists regularly assert that volatile weather events are on the rise due to human activity that impacts our climate, while skeptics point to the snow and cold snaps as further proof the earth is not running a fever.

Dr. Tim Ball taught climatology for many years at the University of Winnipeg and is the author of the newly released book, “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science.” He told WND it’s foolhardy to draw conclusions on overall climate trends based on one weather system or even one winter, but he believes the harsher winter is part of a cooling cycle.

Ball is wrong because he contradicts Gore and Skuzuki. Even BHO agrees with G&S which also proves that Ball is wrong.

Faith and climate protection

Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Jews may have different beliefs but they all share the same resources and they are all affected by the consequences of climate change. In our Global Ideas special, we take an in-depth look at how the world’s major religions perceive and deal with environmental issues and what responsiblity they bear for combating climate change. While global warming is an important issue among all faiths, not all religious groups see it as a danger. We hear from people of various faiths around the world and highlight relevant passages in holy texts that show a close connection between man and nature.


Religion and Climate Change | DW.DE




THE WORD "religion" is often used, rather effectively, to demonise a category of people who hold a strong conviction about something and propose to translate that belief into action. And John Howard, a former prime minister of Australia, used a lecture in London this week to denounce people who in his view exaggerate the certainty of global warming and demand urgent efforts to mitigate it. His talk was called "One Religion is Enough" and he explained that:

I chose the...title largely in reaction to the sanctimonious tone employed by so many of those who advocate substantial and and costly responses to what they see as irrefutable evidence that the world's climate faces catastrophe...To them the cause has become a substitute religion.
​

He went on to argue that global-warming campaigners had dishonestly (nay jesuitically) confused science with public policy, as though certain scientific propositions led automatically to certain policy courses. In fact, policy should be left to elected policymakers, and parliaments should never surrender the role of setting policy to any other body of people, whatever their expertise.
