Geri Quote "Mexican scientist warns Earth will enter 'Little Ice Age' for up to 80 Years ______________________________  16 Aug 08 - An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a "little ice age" which will last from 60 to 80 years due to decrease in solar activity. Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the UNAM, who that teaches at the Centre for Applied Sciences and Technological Development, described as erroneous predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the so-called global warming. The models and forecasts of the IPCC "is incorrect because only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity," said Velasco Herrera, who also specializes in image processing and signs and prevention of natural disasters. The phenomenon of climate change, he added, should include other kinds of factors, both internal, such as volcanoes and human activity, and external, such as solar activity. "In this century glaciers are growing", as seen in the Andes, Perito Moreno, Logan, the highest mountain in Canada, and with Franz-Josef Glacier, New Zealand, said Velasco Herrera. At present, the world is going through a transition phase where solar activity diminishes considerably, "so that in two years or so, there will be a small ice age that lasts from 60 to 80 years."

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does it have a tail and if so what does that mean for us? Just looking at satelite images and it looks like a tail end. Geri :huh:

I look a bit mental carrying my bucket of water round the garden trying to find the suns reflection. I can't find it! Geri

Electricity went off for about 2 seconds. Sky went black, wind went mental and heavy wet snow fell. (About 10 mins ago for about 5 mins) My dog loved it though, trying to catch the flakes, Bless her. Geri

About an hour ago it got really dark here. Torrential rain and wind came out of nowhere, couldn't see out of the windscreen. Eased off now, but still a bit blowy and feels colder. Was a bit scary. Geri

Showing live pictures and audio from up there also. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/live_tv.html Geri They are getting ready for their space walk!

These are to the north, but they don't look as good in the pictures as they do for real. Geri

Stopped again for now. I can see black clouds coming this way from the south though! Geri

Bucketing it down here AGAIN!! Geri

Stopped raining here now, was torrential, but no lightning or thunder. Geri

Sunny and warm here right now, but clouds are increasing from the south and are very dark and grey looking. Geri

Raining steadily for past hour of so Temp 15c Wind speed 12mph

Wow! I take it that is where the saying 'A bolt from the blue' comes from. Geri
