Potato, Potahto, Tomato, Tomahto...Let's Cool the Whole Thing Off

Think global warming is going to kill us all? Wrong! It's global cooling you should be worried about. R. Timothy Patterson, professor and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre, Department of Earth Sciences, at Carleton University, has this to say:

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.

Hey, scientists! I have a message for you...

MAKE UP YOUR FRIGGIN' MINDS, ALREADY!!!
