Sunshine is peaking right now, this year or next I believe. Then are
we inevitably headed back into full blown ice age, mile deep ice down
to Chicago? Some of the scientists are saying this would only take a
few years to achieve, once started. I wonder, if the sunspot peak took
so long to build, how long will it take to fall? If it is sharp, we
could have glaciers in Paris by 2010.

Most people don't realise that we are in the middle of an ice age
right now, just a temporary partial warming that is still leaving
large parts of the Earth covered with ice. Indian summer, then back to
the long freeze. I hope they get those mammoths cloned soon, we are
going to need them!
