This Guy Won’t Get Many US Enviro Speaking Engagements

One reason is because no one will want to try to pronounce Khabibullo Abdusamatov’s name at introductions.

But the bigger reason is that he thinks we’re heading into an era of global ….. cooling (HT Kim at Wizbang), who also caught an article about how glaciers in the Himalayas are growing:

Russian scientist predicts global cooling
MOSCOW, Aug. 25 (UPI) — A Russian scientist predicts a period of global cooling in coming decades, followed by a warmer interval.

Abdusamatov and his colleagues at the Russian Academy of Sciences astronomical observatory said the prediction is based on measurement of solar emissions, Novosti reported. They expect the cooling to begin within a few years and to reach its peak between 2055 and 2060.

“The Kyoto initiatives to save the planet from the greenhouse effect should be put off until better times,” he said. “The global temperature maximum has been reached on Earth, and Earth’s global temperature will decline to a climatic minimum even without the Kyoto protocol.”

That’s a trifecta: global cooling instead of warming, no need for Kyoto, and no assignment of any blame to humanity. I hope Mr. Abdusamatov likes it over there in Russia.
