Pro Node  January 2008 capped a 12 month period of global temperature drops on all of the major well respected indicators.  url anchor

January 2008 capped a 12 month period of global temperature drops on all of the major well respected indicators. HadCRUT, RSS, UAH, and GISS global temperature sets all show sharp drops in the last year url anchor

Pro Node  One day you'll wake up buried beneath nine stories of snow.  url anchor

One day you'll wake up buried beneath nine stories of snow. It's all part of a dependable, predictable cycle, a natural cycle that returns like clockwork every 11,500 years. And since the last ice age ended almost exactly 11,500 years ago url anchor

Answer Node  Ice age predicted in the 70s url anchor

Tags:  1970s ice age prediction, Ice age prediction, cooling

Pro Node  The media had been spreading warnings of a cooling period since the 1950s, but those alarms grew louder in the 1970s.  url anchor

The media had been spreading warnings of a cooling period since the 1950s, but those alarms grew louder in the 1970s. In 1975, cooling went from 'one of the most important problems' to a first-place tie for 'death and misery'. The claims of global catastrophe were remarkably similar to what the media deliver now about global warming. url anchor

Pro Node  Global warming has stopped and a cooling is beginning.  url anchor

Global warming has stopped and a cooling is beginning. No climate model has predicted a cooling of the Earth – quite the contrary. And this means that the projections of future climate are unreliable url anchor

Pro Node  Austria is today seeing its earliest snowfall in history with 30 to 40 centimetres already predicted in the mountains.  url anchor

Such dramatic falls in temperatures provide superficial evidence for those who doubt that the world is threatened by climate change. url anchor
