Global Cooling - Just another version of climate change

The Inconvenient Truth about Climate Change

It is comical to watch the global warming crowd pivot into the general usage of climate change as their reason to justify taxes and ever more control over private activity.  It does become an inconvenient truth when we can observe that whatever they are trying to sell us on is not what is happening.  Right now we have the second coldest Spring in the USA and I can tell you that it has seemed to drag out winter here.

The Coming Ice Age

So now the Russian scientists are bringing us back to the predictions of a long term cooling trend that may usher in a mini ice age.  That was the big fear back in the 1970's long before global warming became the mantra of the far left environmentalists.   

So what does this have to do with your survival.  Mostly I suggest it means to look with a skeptic's eye at news reports that try to convince you of any major change in our climate.  Yes, it can happen.  But usually this happens over decades and centuries rather than an overnight shift.   There are examples such as the dust bowl back in the 1930's that were a combination of drought and poor farming practices that caused disasters that can be attributable to human activity. 

Preparing for Crop Failures - Food Shortages

If there is one preparation that can help you get through a drought or crop failure it is putting away some extra food supplies and water.  Shelter you can create as you need it and I expect you already have that handled.   Just a reminder.  Have guns to help you hold onto your food, water, and shelter.

Mass Extinctions by Impact Events

Many more though just are simple changes in conditions brought about by volcano eruptions, sun spots, and objects  that strike the planet.    Examples include impact events involving large asteroids or meteorites that can change the climate overnight with the resultant dust cloud of the strike blocking the heat from the sun for a many years.  Such an event could spell the end of humanity as well and would put us into the catalog of mass extinctions brought about by an external object striking our planet.

Planning for an Impact Event

Can you plan for these.  I think so.  My planning includes having an extra slice of pie for dessert and maybe even having that slice before the meal since you never know when that meal might end.  Boom.
