CLIMATE CHANGE --- COOLER BY 2050

Figure One --- Wikipedia --- The last one million years of reoccuring ice ages motored by solar and cosmic forces.

Figure Two --- The current inter-glacial period with temperature plusations driven by solar and cosmic forces.

Figure Three --- Wikepedia --- The last 600 years. We are at a 1000 year hign in solar activity. Sun spots have increased since the Maunder low point of the Little Ice Age

Figure Four --- NASA ---There are magnetic tides in the sun which drive sunspot activity. --- GOOGLE --- NASA Long Range Solar Forcasts.

Figure 5 --- NASA --- The current sunspot cycle No. 24 is expected to peak in 2010 and is of high intensity. No.25 to follow is expected to be much less dramtic and cooling can be expected.

For a longer term view: --- GOOGLE --- Russian scientists predict new ice age in 50 years.

SEA LEVEL RISING --- No Great Flooding in Sight

Source of Charts: Wikipedia

Figure One --- 25,000 years ago at the peak of the last ice age all of the Arctic Ocean and much of the nearby land was covered by ice thousands of feet thick.Now the only sizable ice mass left is Greenland.

Figure Two --- The last big melt took 10,000 years at a rate of sea level rise of 1.0 meter per century.

Figure Three --- Over the last century sea level has risen 0.2 meters.

MANY SCREAMING ALARMISTS ARE WARNING OF SEA LEVEL RISES OF TEN TO TWENTY FEET IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. THE RECENT IPCC REPORT HAS A MUCH LOWER ESTIMATE OF 0.5 METERS OR LESS. It is easy to see why. There is far less ice here now when compared to the last big melt.

The IPCC report notes, that despite melting around its fringes Antarctica is still gaining mass and will not be a big contributor to sea level rise in the foreseeable future.
