Guys,
Read "Twilight of Abundance" by David Archbald about the coming mini-ice age. I think the guy is right.

He also predicts a rather gruesome fate for the Muslim Middle-east as a result of global cooling.
Nice tip - thanks.

Over the next twenty to thirty years, we are going back to the climate of the early 19th century as the best case outcome, or the climate of the late 17th century at worst. Here in the mid-latitudes of North America, growing conditions will move three hundred miles south from their current position. The United States will be producing twenty percent less grain by 2030, taking the United States out of export markets. Grain prices will return to 19thcentury levels in constant dollar terms.
I don't entirely agree with his analysis about the rest of his predictions.
Food production can be ramped up tremendously. The people in Europe survived even with Medieval technology in the 17th century. Currently both the EU as well as the US are subsidizing farmland to do nothing. But he is right that a global cooling will bring tremendous problems to the developing world. It will increase food prices to such a degree that shit will hit the fan in the entire Middle East incl. Africa.
Western Countries or probably China may even occupy African territories by force to produce food. African soil is extremely fertile and could produce food for 7 billion people, but it won't be cheap and the Africans won't be able to do it alone.
Technology also can solve housing in the Northern Hemisphere - we can create entire domed cities - I have even seen such designs already.
But what is clear is that it will cause tremendous bloodshed, turmoil and new wars. The global cooling is supposed to start around 2016 - so next year already and the sun cycle predictions are much more accurate than the crap that the CO2 idiots keep farting out. (We could have 1000% more CO2 in the atmosphere and it would benefit us all.)
I was reminded of this thread as I read an article in a mainstream magazine. I have heard the prediction years ago by another "renegade" climatologist who does weather forecasts via sun-spot analysis. He makes a good living - his forecasts are incredibly accurate months in advance and they are purchased by big agriculture companies and corporations.
Well - seems like a lot of things will be getting tougher in the future. I think that the sunspot activity theory is much more credible and if climatology wasn't hijacked by the anti-human depopulation taxation green agenda, then we would know about it already.
