The Old Farmers Almanac used its time-honored (216 years old!) and complex calculations to predict the weather and came up with this stunning prediction: forget global warming, we're in for global cooling!
"We at the Almanac are among those who believe that sunspot cycles and their effects on oceans correlate with climate changes," writes meteorologist and climatologist Joseph D'Aleo. "Studying these and other factor suggests that cold, not warm, climate may be our future."
It remains to be seen, said Editor-in-Chief Jud Hale, whether the human impact on global temperatures will cancel out or override any cooling trend.
"We say that if human beings were not contributing to global warming, it would become real cold in the next 50 years," Hale said.

We've never killed a planet before, so how do we even know how "global warming" should happen? We don't know if there are years in the beginning that are colder, or if it's a steady progression towards more heat, or whether all parts of the planet even get hotter in the first few years.
There is no question.
In the 70s is was being refered to a the greenhouse effect, then global warmning when the phrase climate change is closest to accurate.
Didn't styop your twice unelected president from sticking his fingers in his ears and hu8mming.
He'd no doubt roll out his entirely faux country boy schtick and agree that no one knows the land like a good ol' US Farmer.
I'll trust the scientists thanks.
"I’ll trust the scientists thanks."
Brilliant!
Can a snake change its stripes? NOPE, it is still a snake no mater what it's name is.
Global warming crowd was taken for MILLIONS of dollars. They can't admit they were being played for fools.
Oh, and it's really quite simple whether you call it global warming, or climate change, it all leads to the same result when mankind pumps billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere: a global increase in temperature. This is true regardless of whether the temperature has gone up or down in your redneck of the woods.
Now we just need an theory on how human thoughts control the sun. Then we can cap and trade in thoughts. We can the tax, control and regulate thoughts - the ultimate goal.

I wonder what excuse Al gore will be using 10 years from now when his movie is an example of how the Left was able to convince so many "intelligent people" that he had a clue.
