Pravda reports “Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age”

Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood today advised Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to heed the scientific evidence that shows the world faces an ice age—not global warming, as reported in Russia's Pravda this week, before he shuts down Australia's economy by imposing his fraudulent emissions trading scheme.

On 11th January, Russia’s Pravda online issue carried an article titled “Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age.” The article referenced the regular cyclical pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each lasted about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years. “Today we are again at the peak, and near to the end, of a warm interglacial, and the earth is now due to enter the next Ice Age, ” warns the author, Gregory F. Fegel.

The northern hemisphere is now shivering in one of the coldest winters on record. And this follows last year’s freezing temperatures when China battled the coldest winter in a hundred years. Since global temperatures peaked in 1998, the Earth has significantly cooled. Anyone still pushing the global warming theory is not only ignoring recent cooler weather, but more importantly, is ignoring nearly three million years of paleoclimatic evidence where the Earth’s orbital cycles correlate very well with temperature.

Geologists and astronomers know that the Earth’s orbit around the sun is continually changing in cycles. There are three main orbital cycles.

Precession of the equinox—this cycle of approximately 26,000 years is produced by the wobble of the Earth’s axis.
Obliquity—this is a 40,000-year cycle in the change of the angle of inclination of the Earth’s axis, from about 22 to 24.5 degrees.
Ellipticity—this cycle of approximately 100,000 years results from the variation in the dimensions of the elliptical orbit itself, which varies from a nearly circular orbit to a more elliptical orbit.
For nearly a million years, the Earth has experienced Ice Ages correlating with the ellipticity. And before that, the 40,000 year cycle was dominant back to nearly three million years ago. The onset of a glaciation leading to the formation of a new ice sheet can be very sudden—we should thus take the threat of a new ice age very seriously.

Just 12,000 years ago, the undisputed geological evidence shows that New York, Chicago, and all of North America up to the Arctic regions were under a sheet of ice, estimated to have been from 1 to 2 miles thick.

Reduced sunspot activity will also play a key role in cooling our planet. Recently, the index of sunspot activity, a measure which correlates with the output of heat radiation from the Sun, has fallen to lows not seen since 1913. Last year, Russian Academician Dr. Oleg Sorokhtin advised the world to “stock up on fur coats.” Sorokhtin predicted the occurrence of a solar minimum by the year 2040, and a prolonged period of glaciation following.
