#2 Importantly, what we should be looking at is higher than normal high and lower than normal low temperatures. This means that the greenhouse effect is working less than normal, because there is less in the type of atmospheric moisture that reflects heat. (Think of the Moon, with blistering hot days and freezing nights because it has no atmosphere.)

Another thing to look forward to is if the La Nina continues or intensifies. It is supposed to dissipate in July and then be gone for some years, but if it comes back in September, winter is going to be very, very cold and long.

#3 It is beautiful here right now - perhaps our esteemed governor should also ban the development of new sunspots.

#6 I suppose Time (or was it Newsweek) will come back with a "I guess we were right back in the 70's" covers to herald the advancing glaciers.

#7 The middle of a little ice age is not the beginning of an ice age - given the poor record of many qualified scientists in explaining and forecasting Global Warming, and the Goracle, it just might get hotter for a subjective or unknown duration of time before an ice age even begins. We won't know until the ice flakes start falling and never stop.

My two cents.
