Life will be nasty, brutish and short

Life will be nasty, brutish and short (Ice Age Now, Aug 20, 2014):

“We’re ill-prepared if the iceman cometh,” writes Maurice Newman in The Australian.

“What if David Archibald’s book The Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be Nasty, Brutish, and Short turns out to be right?,” asks Newman, former ABC chairman and chairman of the Australian Prime Minister’s business advisory council.

“What if the warmth the world has enjoyed for the past 50 years is the result of solar activity, not man-made CO2?”

Newman points to Russian scientists at the Pulkovo Observatory, who “are convinced the world is in for a cooling period that will last for 200-250 years.”

He also refers to respected Norwegian solar physicist Pal Brekke, who “warns temperatures may actually fall for the next 50 years.”

A return of the Dalton Minimum “more likely than not”

“Leading British climate scientist Mike Lockwood, of Reading University, found 24 occasions in the past 10,000 years when the sun was declining as it is now, but could find none where the decline was as fast. He says a return of the Dalton Minimum (1790-1830), which included “the year without summer”, is “more likely than not”.

“If the world does indeed move into a cooling period,” says Newman, “its citizens are ill-prepared.”

“It is interesting to contemplate how the West would handle the geopolitical and humanitarian challenges brought on by a colder climate’s shorter growing seasons and likely food shortages. Abundance is conducive to peace. However, a scenario where nations are desperately competing for available energy and food will bring unpredictable threats, far more testing than anything we have seen in recent history.

Ignoring the clear warnings being given by Mother Nature

“But the political establishment is deaf to this. Having put all our eggs in one basket and having made science a religion, it bravely persists with its global warming narrative, ignoring at its peril and ours, the clear warnings being given by Mother Nature.

“Voltaire was right when he said: “Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy, the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the Earth.” Indeed.

Kudos to Maurice Newman!

  1. Agreed.

    But look at the wasted potential of this mother, and how we could all be beneftting from it if it weren’t for the devious Global Corporations.

  2. Th.e problem is still the same one it was yesterday, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago and counting…..the ongoing disaster from Fukushima. World’s largest ocean, providing 50% of the world’s oxygen, the Pacific is dead. Fish are dead, people and animals will follow……
    The rest of this is just diversion. They are still doing nothing to stop the disaster in Japan. That is the only problem of merit.
