The Coming Little Ice Age

I should be crowing with laughter right now over the situation that Al Gore is going to find himself in, but honestly, I am too busy browsing for snowshoes. The sun is in a minimum. There are no sun spots. For those of you who are uneducated on matters of the sun, this means the sun has essentially stopped breathing. During the last Solar Minimum, dubbed the Maunder Minimum, a 50 Year little Ice Age gripped the land. The Thames in London froze over thick enough that multi-story buildings where built on it, with ice flows in the late spring. During that time, a Viking Colony in Greenland froze over and died as Greenland turned into an icy wasteland.

So, what can you do about it? Invest in 4 wheel drive vehicles, good quality coats and scarves, and snowshoes. I know I will be.
