    CNSNews.com) – Dr. Don Easterbrook – a climate scientist and glacier expert from Washington State who correctly predicted back in 2000 that the Earth was entering a cooling phase – says to expect colder temperatures for at least the next two decades.

    this self satisfied gloating article was published Early 2014
    Let’s see how the predictions of a leading climate skeptic panned out?

    The global land-only January 2019 temperature was the fourth highest in the 140-year record at 1.51°C (2.72°F) above average, trailing behind 2007 (+1.85°C / +3.33°F), 2016 (+1.58°C / +2.84°F), and 2017 (+1.58°C / +2.84°F). According to NCEI's Regional Analysis, three (South America, Asia, and Oceania) of six continents had a January temperature ranking among their five highest since continental records began in 1910. Of note, Oceania had its warmest January on record at 2.56°C (4.61°F) above average. North America had its coolest January since 2011. Meanwhile, the global ocean-only temperature for January 2019 was 0.65°C (1.17°F) above average—the third warmest January since global records began in 1880. The record warm global ocean temperature departure from average of +0.86°C (+1.55°F) was set in 2016. January 2017 ranked as the second warmest on record.

    oops.... the onset of two decades of global cooling has been delayed

    n 2005, two Russian solar physicists, Galina Mashnich and Vladimir Bashkirtsev, accepted a $10,000 bet with the British climate modeller James Annan that will be concluded in a couple of weeks.

    At the time, Annan had been looking around for sceptics willing to put money behind their predictive prowess.

    He bet the two Russians $10,000 that the six years between 2012 and 2017 would be warmer than the six years between 1998 and 2003.

    Temperature data from the US National Climatic Data Centre – since renamed the National Centres for Environmental Information – would be used.

    Annan thought human-caused global warming would keep pushing temperatures higher. The Russian pair thought solar activity would drop away and this effect would be enough to cause global temperatures to fall.

    With only one month of data to go, you don’t need a maths degree to see who is rubbing their hands.

    So far, only two years between 1998 and 2003 rank in the top 10 warmest years, compared with at least five years between 2012 and 2017.

    Annan told me: “Yes I am confident of winning the bet, even the threatened eruption of Agung couldn’t matter … even if it had happened earlier this year. With only a few weeks to go, there is no chance of sufficient cooling for me to lose

    I am searching for ANY climate change skeptic who has made a correct prediction.... given their uncannily accurate critiques.... there MUST be some examples where their brilliance produced a correct prediction?

    Geologist Dr. David Deming: ‘If the current cooling trend continues, the theory of global warming faces imminent extinction’ – Deming: ‘The mean global temperature has not risen in 17 years and has been slowly falling for approximately the past 10 years’ – ‘Falling temperatures are giving climate alarmists chills’

    Bundle Up! German scientists predict a century of global cooling – Two German scientists, Horst-Joachin Luedecke and Carl-Otto Weiss of the European Institute for Climate and Energy, say that “two naturally occurring climate cycles will combine to lower global temperatures during the next century.” They added, “by the year 2100, temperatures on this planet will plunge to levels seen at the end of the ‘Little Ice Age’ in 1870.” These researchers used historical data detailing temperatures as well as cave stalagmites to show a recurring 200-year solar cycle called the DeVries Cycle.

    CERN scientist Jasper Kirkby says another Maunder Minimum in solar activity could occur by 2015 – Jasper Kirkby, head of the CLOUD Experiment at CERN in Geneva notes in the video lecture below that if one extrapolates the current lull in solar activity, an extended period of no sunspots similar to the Maunder Minimum could occur by 2015. The Maunder Minimum was responsible for the Little Ice Age and lasted for 70 years.

    Sunspot Enigma: Will Inactive Sun Cause Global Cooling? ‘Earth’s response to low solar activity will overturn many of our assumptions about man’s influence on climate change. Cold not warmth might be our future’

    Better Get your Woollies! ‘No doubt about it. The Earth’s climate is cooling!’ — Essay by Environmental Chemist By Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser – ‘The question now is solely ‘when, not if’ the current interglacial period will come to a sudden end. Nature had an earlier attempt at it when, in the mid-1600’s, the world experienced a cold spell lasting some 60 years which is now commonly known as the medieval “Little Ice Age.” That period coincided with the “Maunder Minimum,” an unusual low number of sunspots through several sunspot cycles

    Sun’s bizarre activity may trigger another ice age, says Irish solar scientist – ‘Solar activity has been falling steadily since mid-1940s, a change that in the past triggered a 300-year-long mini ice age’

    Russian Academy of Sciences: Global warming over in Central Asia – Current Temps Not ‘Unique’; Cooler era ahead – Global warming is over in Central Asia, and a new cooler period is ahead, according to Russian Academy of Sciences scientist Andrei Daryin – ‘Whenever we look a thousand years back, it appears that the situation is not that unique. A temperature rise comparable with today’s parameters already happened 1,000 years ago,’ he said. In fact, climate change cycles correlate with solar activity, the expert continued.

    Geologist Dr. Norman Page: ‘The Coming Cooling’ – ‘The Demise of the UN IPCC and the CAGW (Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming) Delusion’ – ‘The IPCC’s remit was never to study climate objectively but to support the proposition that anthropogenic CO2 was the main climate driver and that increasing emissions would produce warming with catastrophic consequences by the end of the 21st century. To their eternal discredit too many of the Western scientific establishment abandoned common sense and scientific standards of objectivity and prudence in order to accommodate their paymasters.’

    BBC: UK Climate Scientist Warns: Real Risk Of A Maunder Minimum ‘Little Ice Age’ Due To ‘Decline in Solar Activity’

    Geologist E. Kirsten Peters: She warns cold spell near? – Geologist digs deeper on climate change

    Japanese researcher predicts cooler climate in Northern Hemisphere from 2015‘A Japanese scientist who analyzed ocean temperatures stretching back more than five decades has predicted that the climate in the Northern Hemisphere may enter a cooling period around 2015. Mototaka Nakamura, a senior scientist at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, analyzed surface temperatures of the Greenland Sea from 1957 to the present and how they affect climate change. He said Greenland Sea temperatures could serve as a leading indicator of cooling and warming cycles in North Atlantic waters, which are believed to alternate on about 70-year cycles.

    New Book by David Archibald: ‘The Twilight of Abundance’ – Warns of Global Cooling – ‘Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be Nasty, Brutish, and Short’

    New paper finds ‘surprisingly, there are many US weather stations that show cooling’ over the past century – Published in the Journal of Climate – Study ‘finds, contrary to popular belief, that US “monthly maximum temperatures are not often greatly changing — perhaps surprisingly, there are many stations that show some cooling [over the past century]. In contrast, the minimum temperatures show significant warming’

    New paper finds worldwide glacier retreat has decelerated since 1950 – Published in The Cryosphere

    New paper shows anthropogenic emissions have had a net cooling effect since beginning of industrial revolution – Published in ScienceStudy reports the transition from “pristine” to “slightly polluted” atmosphere at the beginning of the industrial revolution in the 18th century had a “dramatic aerosol effect [of increasing] clouds” over the oceans.’

    German Geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning: ‘Greenland is cooling’ – Greenland was ’2 – 3°C warmer 6000 to 4000 years ago than it is today’ and that the ice survived – ‘Greenland is cooling’: Lüning brings up the Axforf paper of 2013, which shows Greenland was “2 – 3°C warmer 6000 to 4000 years ago than it is today” and that the ice survived. He presents a 2013 paper by Lecavalier et al showing that Greenland has cooled 2.5°C over the last 8000 years. Despite the thousands of years of continuous warmth, the dramatic ice collapse never occurred.”

    Coming global cooling? Aussie Solar Expert David Archibald: ‘Lower solar irradiance will result in lower temperatures on this planet. It is a question of when
