How To Spin An Ice Age

According to the global warming hoaxers, solar-induced global cooling is just a temporary respite from the man-made climactic frying pan (via HA):

Average temperatures in areas such as California and France may drop over the next ten years, influenced by colder flows in the North Atlantic, said a report today by the institution based in Kiel, Germany. Temperatures worldwide may stabilize in the period.

The study was based on sea-surface temperatures of currents that move heat around the world, and vary from decade to decade. This regional cooling effect may temporarily neutralize the long- term warming phenomenon caused by heat-trapping greenhouse gases building up around Earth, said Richard Wood, a research scientist at the Met Office Hadley Centre, a U.K. provider of environmental and weather-related services…

“If we don’t experience warming over the next ten years, it doesn’t mean that greenhouse-gas warming is not with us,” [Noel] Keenlyside said in an interview. “There can be natural fluctuations that may mask climate change in the short term.”…

“Natural variations over the next ten years might be heading in the cold direction,” Wood said. “If you run the model long enough, eventually global warming will win.”…

“We thought a lot about the way to present this because we don’t want it to be turned around in the wrong way,” Keenlyside said. “I hope it doesn’t become a message of Exxon Mobil and other skeptics.”

Oh, perish forbid, Dr. Keenlyside.  Let’s not let facts and the reality that the Sun has vastly more influence over our planet’s climate than poor ol’ homo sapiens conflict with your sacred, venerated “model”.  Why, that would be heresy, and the Goreacle would be most displeased at this breach of pagan neoBolshevik dogma.

On the other hand, it would afford Fat Albert a bigger carbon footprint….
