A report in the publication Financial Post by a Canadian professor of geosciences says it’s not global warming we should be worried about, but old standby global cooling:

Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth. Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one which may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the Little Ice Age, should be a priority for governments. It is global cooling, not warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, especially Canada. As a country at the northern limit to agriculture in the world, it would take very little cooling to destroy much of our food crops, while a warming would only require that we adopt farming techniques practiced to the south of us.

I’m just not getting this. It’s because of the sun? Where does Dick Cheney fit in here? How does this fit into Halliburton’s nefarious plan to drill for oil and take over a world that is a combination garbage dump/barren desert wasteland patrolled by Mel Gibson dressed as Mad Max, riding around exterminating Jews and assorted other minorities? How could Al Gore be wrong about this??!!

Al Gore has probably had it up to here.
