Global Cooling? Unprecedented Ice Storms In Kenya
But suspend your rational thought process for a moment – the WWF assures us that CO2 causes global warming and global cooling
Paul Joseph Watson

Thursday, September 4, 2008
Evidence that the planet is tip-toeing towards the onset of a new mini ice age continues to present itself following unprecedented ice storms in Kenya as well as Sydney experiencing its coldest August for 60 years. But don’t worry because according to the World Wildlife Fund, global cooling can just as easily be blamed on CO2 emissions as can global warming.
The cold snap arrives on the back of the Sun reaching a milestone not observed in nearly 100 years - the entire month of August passed without a single sunspot being noted.
Lack of solar activity in 2008 has coincided with evidence of a cooling trend across the world.
Earlier this year, China experienced its coldest winter in 100 years while northeast America was hit by record snow levels and Britain suffered its coldest April in decades as late-blooming daffodils were pounded with hail and snow on an almost daily basis. The British summer also left many yearning for global warming, with temperatures in June and July rarely struggling to get over 16 degrees and on one occasion even dropping as low as 9 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
“Summer heat continues in short supply, continuing a trend that has dominated much of the 21st Century’s opening decade,” reports the Chicago Tribune. “There have been only 162 days 90 degrees or warmer at Midway Airport over the period from 2000 to 2008. That’s by far the fewest 90-degree temperatures in the opening nine years of any decade on record here since 1930.”
According to an Associated Press report, The Farmers Almanac is now also predicting “below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.” The publication boasts of an 85 per cent accuracy rate for its forecasts which are given two years in advance.
According to a report from the World Meteorological Organization last month, the first half of 2008 was the coolest for at least five years, adding that it may actually be the coolest since 2000.
Meanwhile, Arctic ice has expanded by 30 per cent since this time last year as respected scientists predict a new mini ice age within 10 years.
Continuing the trend, parts of Kenya just experienced unprecedented ice storms after which 4 inch deep hail covered the ground.
“Residents of a village in central Kenya were shocked to see a blanket of hail resembling snow covering their land,” reports the BBC.
“I have not seen such a thing ever since I was born,” said one resident of Nyahururu.
Hail storms in western Kenya are not unknown, but the hail normally melts instantly because of high temperatures on the ground. Not this time around, and Kenyans were keen to take advantage of the rare event by enjoying numerous photo opportunities.
Meanwhile, in Sydney, Australians are talking about “the big chill,” the coldest August in Sydney for more than 60 years.
So what’s to blame for the sudden cold snap affecting many parts of the globe? The rapid decrease in solar activity, an event that has always preceded similar mini-ice age periods throughout history?
Not according to the World Wildlife Fund, who blame human-caused CO2 emissions for the cold snap.
That’s right – in case you weren’t aware of the new climate change catch-all explanation, CO2 now causes global warming as well as global cooling.
All weather events, be it rainfall, storms, hurricanes, typhoons or earthquakes are also caused by CO2 emissions.
But don’t worry because experts have the solution that can save us all from global warming, global cooling, or whatever the weather happens to be doing at any particular time.
At a cost to the taxpayer of around $100 billion dollars a year, as part of a program to “geo-engineer” the world, scientists are proposing to build a fleet of spaceships that will be sent up above the Earth’s atmosphere, spanning half the diameter of the entire planet, to block out the Sun from reaching parts of the globe.
But I thought CO2, and not the Sun, was the main driver of climate change?
Maybe Barney the purple dinosaur is the true culprit behind it all – but whatever the explanation – at least I can be assured that my government and the esteemed experts advising them will do their level best to tax and control every aspect of my behavior in the interests of saving us all from global warming, global cooling, or whatever else the weather decides to do tomorrow.

Think about it what a wonderful global warming event – everyone going to their heaters for more warmth = more C0 too. Enjoy the heater while you can eh?

What next, a breathing tax that people can’t afford like $1000 a year on each person. That is on breathing the air. Also carbon tax for burning any fuel like coal, wood, oil, trash, or anything that can burn will be costly! If some is on limited income with this carbon tax will find themselves living in a tent or sleeping on the street! Governments today don’t care for the poor! Soon all the poor will end up in a FEMA prison death camp!

Al gore accomplished so much in his fight to stop global warming…..choke, heave, choke
People en masse are dumb ebnough, they will believe that!
Fluoride did it’s job well.
Send al gore to mars-he could do miracles for the climate there…his job is done here…

First it was global warming,now that they can’t fool anyone with that anymore it’s climate change. WOW MAN! LETS JUST SHUT UP AND ACCEPT THEIR TAXES, RIGHT?
September 4th, 2008 at 7:09 am
I don’t see how a hail indicates cooling. If anything I’d think a warmer climate results in more frequent and severe thunderstorms that typically produce the hail seen above.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:49 am
You state that Britain had the “coldest April in decades” then cite a Daily Mail article as “evidence”. Don’t want to pee on your fireworks or anything, but citing the Daily Mail as evidence of anything is like taking the National Enquirer as gospel. Also the Daily Mail article you’ve linked to doesn’t say it was the coldest April in decades, in fact the article you’ve linked to was published on March 25th. It states that in some areas of the UK it snowed on Easter weekend. I live in the UK, and it’s been a pretty average year temperature-wise.
If this is the quality of your research, I hope you’ll excuse me if I don’t bother reading the rest of this garbage.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:52 am
You’re thinking of *local* cooling. Global means the entire *globe*.

Hey Bransby, agreed that there is a misquote, but the correction making it accurate hardly discredits the entirety of the article. The correct quote would have read, “The icy Easter weekend was declared the coldest for 44 years yesterday as forecasters warned of more bad weather for the rest of the month.” The author likely forgot that Easter was in March this year, as is the case about six years out of twenty.
I have more of a problem with your position that because this quote came from the Daily Mail, that it therefore negates any credibility both in regard to the article as a whole, and the other supporting references. These other references were Reuters, Associated Press, The Chicago Tribune, and especially, the UK-based World Meteorological Organisation, who made every effort to whitewash the evidence wherever they could and still support their left-leaning position. I would expect that despite your sensitivities toward the Daily Mail, you would certainly find credible anything coming out of the WMO, yet they specifically refute your own statement that 2008 has been an average year. It may seem average to you, but that average is below the average temperatures since 2000.

It’s this simple……
6Co2 + 12H20 + light ===> C6H12O6 + 6H20
Doesn’t anybody take chemistry or biology anymore?
September 4th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I know that when cool air is lower in the atmosphere than usual and there’s moister in the atmosphere, you get hail. SO, if the air over Kenya was that cold and that low, there is a problem. The air over Africa is supposed to be ho and hot air rises, so if cold air sank so low to make hial, then I guess the hot air is NOT that hot anymore.
September 4th, 2008 at 9:45 am
To Bransby, you write
“I live in the UK and it’s been a pretty average year temperature-wise”.
I dont know which UK you live in but I can assure you it has been a chilly spring and summer in London. When we have eventually seen the sun (rare) it has warmed up a bit but just how many evenings have you been able to enjoy outside all summer?

Manmade Global Warming is an invention, some sick hope someone had. Humans only pretude 6% of co2 put in to the air. A huge majority comes from the ocean. Think about how old the planet is? Crazier things have happened then hail in warm places. If all this hail shit happened 60 years ago, how come no one thought it was global warming? Oh, that’s right, because it’s not real! Watch “The Global Warming Swindle” Before I seen this film I strongly believed in man made global warming. I use to get very angry when people told me it wasnt true, if it can make me a non-believe it can do it for anyone!
September 4th, 2008 at 10:29 am
So LipMcNip, so are you claiming that the drop in avg. temps in a single year can all be solely explained with photosynthesis? I think it goes a little deeper than that, and the sunspot activity cycles are a far more accurate indicator, as the photosynthesis is a process dependent on the sun’s energy. Perhaps that was your point.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Please learn the differences between weather and climate, local and global.
Ice storms? You should also learn the difference between snow, sleet and hail. Most accounts report the weather event in Kenya as hail, so thick from a severe storm, that it took several hours to melt in the hot sun. During the storm, temperatures were around 60°F.
http://www.foreca.com/Kenya/Ny.....1020063714
The attribution of the claim about the 30% expansion of arctic ice is PATENTLY FALSE! Instead of referencing the “propagandamatrix,” why not check out http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ to see how far the sea ice recedes this year. Sure looks to me like the trend is toward surpassing last year’s record melt.
Instead of providing links to testimonials of normal variation, why not instead cite the “evidence of a cooling trend across the world.” Where is this evidence? Who measured and analyzed it? How had they come to those conclusions and who reviewed and refereed the published document?
Would it not interest you to learn that some of these climactic changes were forecast by Global Warming models?
September 4th, 2008 at 11:57 am
MONTREAL HAS BEEN RAINY AND COLD ALL SUMMER. Coldest snowiest winter too. It’s PLAIN AS DAY that global warming is a fruad, but climate change is NOT.
And there is ample evidence that the polar melting is caused by volcanic activity. Google it.
September 4th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
A girl I know in Kapiskasing said she never wore shorts this summer until a couple weeks ago, which the locals say has never happened before. If you believe in man-made global warming your an idiot.
September 4th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
We had one of the worst summer and i should say a year and a half . Was colder then usual and lots and lots of snow and rain but now for the month of august almost no rain and relatively n ice weather. Now that we had 2 day of hot weather all over the news its GLOBAL WARMING !!!!! BIGGER HURRICANE BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING!!!! HUGE CHUNK OF ICE IN THE NORTH OF CANADA JUST BROKE!!!! Totaly ridiculous.

RE: Mark Gutting-Kilzer = CENTCOM
. . . I’ve been called many things in my life, but . . . CENTCOM? That’s funny!
The comments here are very interesting. Lots of weather reports, but no climactic data.
So if it rains today, we’re going to drown? The sun comes out and you fear drought? Show me the Global Temperature trend. C’mon successfully argue the subject!
Ad hominem attacks prove only that you are ill prepared to defend the subject at hand.

The CO2 causes the sun to burn and it is the brightest thing in our atmosphere…….

The Earth passes through cycles. Warm and cool to extremely cold and very warm. They are so many forces at work at the same time that a simple one size fits all explanation of “global warming/cooling” is just plain silly. If, for example, we experience an increase in volcanic activity, the sulfur compounds produced create sulfuric acid when combining with the Earth’s atmospheric moisture and these tiny droplets act like little mirrors reflecting the Sun’s energy back into space—global cooling. Man is responsible for volcanic activity? Only if we are also responsible for plate tectonics and seafloor spreading! Yes we are/can be a destructive force against nature–but solely responsible for global climate change? Probably not. The Earth wobbles in it’s spin. Has been for maybe millions of years–it’s called precession. As the angle of the Earth to the sun changes, so to does the the amount of energy bouncing off our atmosphere–light passing or reflecting from a sheet of glass–depending on the incident angle—simple physics! Periods of increased warmth or increased cooling. PLEASE understand the science before rushing to judgement. Man is not so powerful as to be responsible for everything–that kind of arrogance is ….. fill in your own adjectives.

and yes the sunspot activity or lack therefore in this case is very troubling as it indicates a historic drop in energy output. The mini-ice age was preceded by a lack of sunspots.

Personally we had a hard winter in the midwest and I pay attention to Spaceweather.com alot. Seen there was questions about why this summer has been cooler then normal.
Here is a link from NASA about the sun is the reason for global cycles and the media is blowing Global Warming Up 100x more then Y2K in the media.

I hope a yuppie replies to this saying that NASA is not a reliable source. *cough* You know who you are traitors.

I think it’s just because it’s an election year here in the US. These politicians are so full of whether you want to say “hot air” or “frost breath” depends on which side of the argument you want to express! Maybe our American climate is so wacky this year because of all the wind coming from the DNC and RNC campaigns!
As far as the WWF, UNESCO, UNEP, UNFCCC, Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and all their ilk, couldn’t trust ‘em as far as I could throw ‘em!

To Mr. Mark Gutting-Kilzer:
If you want to help your credibility, you may want to check that link! I ca not find the article you were linking to, and it is not a complete link. A series of periods ( usually to indicate the omission of one or more words ) to the HTM document name is insufficient to “pull up” a valid page.
In other words, NICE TRY!!!

I SINCERELY hope you didn’t send this oil-company-sponsored BULLSHIT to anyone else, because I’m kinda busy right now, what with the eleventh named storm of the year bearing down on my house in Florida, two months ahead of when the first one usually does, and correcting everyone who reads this stupid bullshit takes time away from getting the paperwork done.
One, THERE ARE NO “UNPRECEDENTED ICE STORMS IN KENYA.” Period. It simply is not happening. There’s rain. This is GOOD. Sometimes the rain in fast-moving storms has hail in it. Which it also does in Florida, San Diego, and El Paso, even in the summer. It’s called “when you change the amount of moisture in a volume of air very fast, it gets colder,” as anyone who ever sprayed anything out of a spray can knows.
It’s not “unprecedented.” It’s not even slightly unusual. Go piss up a rope and then shove it down your throat and choke on it, fake Paul Joseph Watson, you ignorant turd shitfucking oil-rig licking asshole, trying to smear a good name.
The REAL Paul Watson is a hero of the world, who has been jailed, run aground, sank whaling ships, saved whales, and lifted a beer with me, may he live long and prosper, and look upon us with favor when he moves on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Watson
Two. There is exactly the same amount of “solar activity” as there is this time in EVERY approximately-eleven-year cycle of the sun spinning around and farting. Galileo figured that one out, oh, you know, a long time ago.
Three. YES, INCREASED AMOUNTS OF CO2 WILL CAUSE COLDER WEATHER AS WELL AS WELL AS HOTTER WEATHER. The atmosphere and ocean are what scientists and engineers call “heat engines,” or thermodynamic feedback pumps. That means when you put more energy into them, you get more energy out of them. It doesn’t mean “everything just warms up a little.” It means more violent weather, more extremes in weather — colder as well as hotter — and widespread changes in weather patterns, which leads to failures of species that are adapted to a particular climate, like the crops that humans live on, and proliferation of the fast adapters, like insects (and the diseases they carry).
There is no, zero, not even remotely, a question that the polar ice is melting, and the seas are rising. Worse, it’s a feedback effect. Ice reflects heat. Water absorbs it. The less ice and more water, the faster the temperature rises, which means even less ice, which means more water…. And an awful lot of people live within a few feet of the waterline, like, oh, the entire south and east coasts, and more than a little of the west coast.
There is NO “cooling trend.” Period. That’s not just simple stupidity. That’s an outright lie.
“Global warming” is a catch phrase, a sound bite. The correct term is “global climate change.” Considering that the tipping point, the “precipice,” was passed over a decade ago when the glaciers started falling apart, the term is more accurately “global climate disaster.”
As for “a fleet of spaceships,” this lying sack of shit needs to have someone check his meds, because whatever he’s got in his aspirin bottle, it’s illegal for a good reason.

September 8th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I think people are still missing the big picture. Now I don’t know if Kenya is having ice storms or not, but I did watch a very informative documentary by the BBC called “Global Dimming” ( you can watch it on youtube) and it explaines very clearly how warming & dimming can occur at the same time. More importantly though, for people who still think of global warming as some kind of hoax, take this into consideration. Even if we are not effecting the earth’s climate, there are MANY more reasons why we must change our attitude towards the earth and it’s resources:
1) Contaminated drinking water
2) Loss of topsoil
3) Air pollution
4) Destruction of forests
5) Extinction of many animal species
6) Poisoning our own food
I could go on and on. The sad truth is the situation is much worse than most people even know. I wish global warming was our biggest problem, the truth is we should be ashamed of what we are doing to the earth! The planet simply cannot sustain our current lifestlye and worse yet, the rest of the planet want’s to emulate us(America)!!
October 21st, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Jay Kay,
you’re right about alot of what you’ve said.
But consider this ~ many people who understand what’s happening in the world, at grand-scale, understand that the Global Warming hoax really is being exploited by ‘you know who’ for sinister socio-political agendas. I think a good majority of A.Jones ‘followers’ understand that all (6) you listed, and then some, are bad things to do to Nature and us. We are, in no way, advocating that we take lightly of damaging nature. In fact, I feel there should be far tougher restrictions against corporations, etc. who pollute/contaminate.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
The worst part of all this is that if people understood the truth about global warming (that it is an unscientific farce for control) they would probably jump to the conclusion that we can pollute the Earth all we want with no consequences. The truth is that we need to move to renewable energy now. Not to save us from a nonexistent threat like global warming but to free people from the yoke of energy companies. The real barrier to all these changes is our continued slavery to the monetary system. If we abolished all forms of currency and developed a resource based economy we would discover that we have all the resources we need to house and feed everyone. I’m not sure where to start with that but the current monetary system is kind of taking care of that by its implosion-by-design.
