Lawrence Solomon: Proof that a new ice age has already started is stronger than ever, and we couldn’t be less prepared

 Earth’s new climate will affect much more than the energy sector. Abdussamatov leaves us with a dire warning.


“The world must start preparing for the new Little Ice Age right
now. Politicians and business leaders must make full economic
calculations of the impact of the new Little Ice Age on everything —
industry, agriculture, living conditions, development. The most
reasonable way to fight against the new Little Ice Age is a complex of
special steps aimed at support of economic growth and energy-saving
production to adapt mankind to the forthcoming period of deep cooling.”


An overheated planet has never been a threat, say climate
skeptics, not today, not ever in human history. An underheated planet,
in contrast, is a threat humans have repeatedly faced over the last
millennium, and now we’re due again.


“The upcoming climate change will be the most important challenge
and a priority issue for the world and define the main events in
politics, the economy, and the most important areas of the whole of
humanity in the coming decades,” Abdussamatov concludes. It’s time we
took the threat of climate change — of the real climate change —
seriously.
