Global Cooling – Not Good News

Summer is coming soon to the southern end of our planet and it’s getting cool! At the exact point furthest east in all the Americas here in Brazil, the place where the sun peeks its head up first, the wind is blowing hard every few days sending cool air into the subtropics. Great news because our air conditioning bill has plunged but not so good news if current trends continue!
In Australia it has been unseasonably cold as well. In July it was reported that nearly 14 percent of New South Wales wheat production was impacted by frost. Cold weather across Australia’s two largest wheat-growing states has slowed crop growth, officials said, threatening yields in the world’s fourth-largest exporter. Canberra Australia has experienced its coldest October in 40 years and kangaroos are jumping through snow in late spring.
Steven Hayward writes, “Did you know that climate change kills? At least that’s the claim out in a new study yesterday, as reported in The Daily Beast, which, last I checked, relies heavily upon a hydrocarbon-intensive energy system to exist. Anyway, according to the latest CO2-breathless story, climate change kills 400,000 people a year, and costs the global economy $1.2 trillion. Jeepers: Maybe the climate—or Mother Nature herself—should come with a warning label like cigarette packs.”
Today’s headlines: Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it. Figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.
