We're joking about it now but it might not be so funny in 2030 if this is accurate (only 97% accuracy). It's pretty scary when you think of the Global Cooling we've had in the past (probably retroactively caused by the Confederate Flag).

I recall reading that the last Maunder Minimum saw a long, severe drought in North America west of the Mississippi and what is now the SE US. So don't count on food being available from those areas even if the they have longer growing seasons than the NE US.
See the Roanoke Lost Colony.
There was a reason the native americans were still living in the stone age when the Europeans arrived. It was the climate of North America that would wreck havoc on whatever civilization they managed to establish in the good years.
See Chaco Canyon.

I wish this had happened when I was young so I could have had more snow to play in.
It did happen when I was young, er, the additional snow part did at least a couple of times along with a few hotter than normal summers. Big deal, normal.....but then a lot of the stuff sending shivers up the backs of today's tightly wound were considered just daily occurrences back then.
This is why I'm not listening to Al Gore or any other nutbar who thinks man has any control or effect over the earth's climate environment to a greater extent than natural occurring events.
Just one itty-bitty volcano or the current forest fires in Canada render us nothing more than observer status to the real impacts upon the climate.
I'm not going to be here for the real event so.......... preach all you like and I will give it the import it I think it deserves. Zip!
some of you people seem to think that all of science is a team of about 12 people sitting in a room with test tubes, coming to agreements about what kind of statements they should make to the press.
If this happens, it is probably fortuitous for us, but it doesn't mean that warming won't occur.
The models predicted mini ice age levels of solar activity, not mini-ice age temperatures on earth. But i guess you can't expect people with a third grade reading comprehension to understand the distinction, and apparently neither does the daily mail (probably because that's their reader base).
If their models are good, just how much this will offset the co2-caused warming remains to be seen.

Apparently your brainwashers totally neglected to tell you about the relationship between solar activity and temperature in the historical record.
Don't you find it rather amazing that these AGW deniers find these few scientists credible, yet say the tens of thousands of climate scientists are lying to the public, just so they can get funding?
Astronomers are more credible - they haven't gone 'post-normal'.

Popularity contests also have a miserable track record in studies of History of Science.
