GLOBAL COOLING: Decade long ice age predicted as sun 'hibernates'
SCIENTISTS claim we are in for a decade-long freeze as the sun slows down solar activity by up to 60 per cent.
A team of European researchers have unveiled a scientific model showing that the Earth is likely to experience a “mini ice age” from 2030 to 2040 as a result of decreased solar activity.
Their findings will infuriate environmental campaigners who argue by 2030 we could be facing increased sea levels and flooding due to glacial melt at the poles.

That's not how this works. It's not how any of this works. The sun going into "hibernation" (bad term, imo) has nothing to do with the damage that various Earthly factors have caused to the atmosphere already. That damage will continue to happen whether the sun is at full blast or "taking a nap".
If you run a fuse to a tube of nitroglycerin and light it, the nitro will blow up. If you put a tube of nitroglycerin on the ground and drop an anvil on it from ten feet, the nitro will still blow up, but for a completely different reason. Make sense? You're attributing a related event to an unrelated cause.

It's adorable and admirable that you are attempting to talk sense to Drudgefeed..
So you two are saying that that big orange thing in the sky has no control over our climate?????

It is our climate. The problem is that when too much of it reaches our planet because our ozone layer resembles Swiss cheese, things get hot. The sun cooling down for a decade does not repair our ozone layer. It just masks the problem by not sending as much radiation through.

Hole In the Earth's Ozone Layer Is Finally Closing Up, NASA Says
A hole in our atmosphere more than twice the size of the United States is finally beginning to close up, and might even be completely gone by the end of the century, according to a new study by NASA scientists.

Keep trying Drudgefeed.
Beginning to close doesn't mean closed.
About time. It has been way too hot this past week.
It's as if The Drifter welcomes an ice age, just so he will be right about something.
It may or may not cool a bit in the next few decades, but we're talking about a fraction of a degree. "Ice age" is a huge exaggeration.
So is the death of all life as a description of a fractional decrease.

So its business as usual in AGCC science then? We're still all gonna die tomorrow? Because I got stuff to do.
