Swept away by global warming climate change hysteria, governments are not ready for crop failures and shorter growing seasons of global cooling, foreshadowed by low solar activity. Though NASA is currently reporting a massive sunspot, solar cycle 24, our current phase, has been half as active as previous cycles suggesting another imminent Little Ice Age that could devastate food production for decades.

“Overly Overcast: Germany Weathers Darkest Winter in 43 Years”
It seems that there’s a lot of gloom in Germany this Winter, more so than usual. This article in Spiegel explains why:
“The days may be getting longer, but there’s still not a hint of springtime sunshine in Germany. Weather data shows that this winter has been the gloomiest in 43 years. If the sun doesn’t start shining soon, it will be the darkest winter on record.

Solar cycle 24 has initially displayed much less activity than recent cycles. Based on statistical models the monthly smoothed sunspot number is likely to peak between 50 and 70 in 2013. Models based on solar polar magnetic field strength indicate the peak could occur as early as in 2012. The comparison with recent cycles is interesting to track the development of cycle 24. The X axis in the chart is the number of months since the cycle started, while the Y axis is the monthly smoothed sunspot number.
Chart color overview
Cycle Monthly smoothed sunspot number
Please note that the start dates for each cycle is calculated using the 13-month smoothed monthly mean sunspot number. One advantage of using this statistical (numerical) approach is that the start month of a solar cycle is the same as the month of the solar minimum. It is possible to use other criteria to separate solar minimum and the start of a solar sunspot cycle, however, which criteria to use and how much importance each is given, unfortunately leaves room for individual opinion.

Terri Jackson has published a new pamphlet sharing her thoughts on the coming ice age:
I welcome your thoughts on the issue.
The IPCC claimed that the Little Ice Age was just in the Northern Hemisphere. This research call that bit of factless story telling into question. The LIA was global.
The U.S. has a research station located at the WAIS divide where scientists associated with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography conducted an analysis to determine the Little Ice Age impact on the southern polar region.
“The authors (Orsi et al.) write that “the Northern Hemisphere experienced a widespread cooling from about 1400 to 1850 C.E., often referred to as the Little Ice Age (hereafter LIA),” which they describe as “the latest of a series of centennial scale oscillations in the climate,”…three researchers, all from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, report determining that “the WAIS Divide was colder than the last 1000-year average from 1300 to 1800 C.E.,” and they say that “the temperature in the time period 1400-1800 C.E.” – which meshes well with the chronology of the LIA in the Northern Hemisphere – “was on average 0.52 ± 0.28°C colder than the last 100-year average.”…stating that their result “is consistent with the idea that the LIA was a global event, probably caused by a change in solar and volcanic forcing…” [Anais J. Orsi, Bruce D. Cornuelle, Jeffrey P. Severinghaus] 2012: Geophysical Research Letters]

Essentially all climate data has been tampered with and inflated over the last decade.
In the 1990 IPCC report, they showed 10 cm rise in sea level over the previous century.
But recent literature propaganda shows almost double that rise over the same time period.
The graph below superimposes the current tampered data, on top of the 1990 IPCC data. Note that the current cheat begins at about 1920, and increases over time.
The historical tide gauge data hasn’t changed – just the willingness of the climate science community to prostitute themselves for money.
President Obama says that anyone who doesn’t believe these scumbags is an enemy of the state, and that he is willing to wreck the Constitution over their fraudulent data.
Call up your Congressman today.

Meteorologist Prof. Dr. Horst Malberg has an article posted at the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) here. He tells us we ought to be preparing for a cooler 21st century first half.

Next week I am hosting a dinner party at which a Fellow of the Royal Society will be guest of honour – one of the Gang of Four who got the Society to tone down their position of global warming alarmism. So it is apposite to consider the outlook for energy and food supply in the UK. Peak coal production in that country was 100 years ago at 292 million tonnes. The UK’s peak oil production was in 1999 with production continuing to fall rapidly. The UK is now importing almost all of its fossil fuel requirements. It decided to switch to relying upon wind power, but recently found that turbines were lasting only about half as long as the wind industry said they would. The Climate Change Act, effectively de-industrialising the country, was passed in the House of Commons in October 2008 by 463…

The Moscow Times: Heaviest Snowfall in a Century Hits Moscow
The heaviest snowfall in a century brought Moscow and the surrounding region to a near standstill and left hundreds of people without power, officials said Tuesday.
And with snowfall set to continue at least until the end of the week, the authorities are bracing for more chaos on the roads.
“There hasn’t been such a winter in 100 years,” Pyotr Biryukov, deputy mayor for residential issues, said Tuesday in comments carried by Interfax. “The snow this year has already reached one and a half times the climatic norm,” he said.
Wired Magazine article in Feb 2009: There’s a 400-Year Nip in the Air
1046: English monks record the onset of a cold snap so harsh that “no man then alive could remember so severe a winter as this was.” Little do they realize that they are chronicling what might have signaled the beginning of a centuries-long cooling period now referred to as the Little Ice Age.
The monks set down their observations in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a loose collection of historical records kept in monasteries across England between the eighth and 12th centuries. The full weather report, given amid the lives and deaths and comings and goings and various perils facing the Anglo-Saxons, read:
And in the same year, after Candlemas, came the strong winter, with frost and with snow, and with all kinds of bad weather; so that there was no man then alive who could remember so severe a winter as this was, both through loss of men and through loss of cattle; yea, fowls and fishes through much cold and hunger perished.
Declining spots historically have produced a cooler planet, keep your snuggles handy.
The sun is currently showing two significant spots, though activity is generally quiet. Current SSN is 30, and Sunspot AR1667 (on the left) is in decay, and it is no longer crackling with C-class solar flares. Credit: SDO/HMI
