In the spirit of always saying the opposite of what everybody else says, I have been steadfastly labelling posts on a certain topic with the tag global cooling. Now, via the SPPI Blog we get this:
As winters get harsher and the snow piles up, more and more scientists are now warning of global cooling. Reader Matt Vooro has compiled a list (see below) of 31 prominent scientists and researchers who have words that governments ought to start heeding...
The only name on that list which is familiar to me (as a complete non-expert) is Piers Corbyn, somebody who appears to do climate/weather forecasting as an intellectual challenge rather than as part of some political agenda, but who has been terrifyingly right so far. Damn! I hate it when it's cold.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov has been hitting this one for years; he's looked at sunspot activity and the >>>Maunder Minimum<<< . So far he's been pretty much spot on as far as I can see, and points out that global warming is positively delightful compared with global cooling (which is when we all die).
Some further thoughts and most interesting graphs from another scientist (though not a climate scientist, which may enhance his credibility) >>here<<< and well worth a read, too.
Commenters at wattsupwiththat came up with "global cooling deniers" for the Warmist crowd just before the New Year at about the same time that Piers Corbyn was predicting more monster snow on Boxing Day and again on 29th Dec. in which he was wrong but then so was the Met Office which predicted the Great Thaw two days late (as is usual with many of their incantations).
O/T Can't leave on the poll for some reason.
Its a tough one. Chris Evans has improved.
He was great on Virgin, but then when he went to the BBC you could hear him losing it. He surrounded himself with a sycophantic team, which was his own fault as he bullied anyone who didn't agree with him.
Live disintegration of a celebrity spread out over about a year.
Engaging stuff.
In the end he just imploded. Sex, drugs and sausage roll.
Moyles is doing the same thing. But he has only a fraction of the ginger one's talent, so its less interesting. When he finally flips out he'll just be gone.
He was good, but BBC should realise that youth programs need ..erm..youths. Its for teens after all.
Radio 1 should be like Logan's Run.
Once they're 21 its off to DJ Heaven..or Heart as its sometimes called.
The scientists in the Seventies were ALWAYS predicting a new Ice Age.
I remember quite a few novels and films about it too. 'The Sixth Winter' was my favourite. I'll have to dig out a copy...
FT: "So far he's been pretty much spot on" that's an awful pun for this time of the day.
B, I didn't know that PC did day to day forecasts, I thought he did sort of weekly or monthly forecasts.
BQ, agreed, Radio 1 have let their retirement age slip dramatically upwards since I was a kid.
JM, isn't that famous climate change film "The Day After Tomorrow" about global cooling rather than warming?
It's not a brilliant book, but the world and politics it describes is rather prescient.

Never mind the list of 31. That the Russian government is enhancing their fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers is telling. They understand cold, and the Northern Route is vital for them.
