Don't raise the topic of the coming ice age with the bookish crowd

So, I made a comment again in elgard.  This time it was about the giant Baobab trees dying off due to climate change.  The mini ice age reference was about the solar cycles.

It was speculation that climate change (carbon warming) was responsible. Could be a virus or something else. Anyway, we're going into a short-term dip in global temperatures, and this could be looked at. The Guard could have a headline: "Dip in Global Temperatures Nothing to Worry About" :)

Why would the Guardian have an article on your personal fantasy?

Anyway, we're going into a short-term dip in global temperatures,

According to ...?

And will this "dip" be just a "dip" relative to the extraordinary temperatures of the last decade or two? There hasn't been a cooler than 20th-century average month since 1984. Is it going to "dip" below the 20th-century average?

"Anyway, we're going into a short-term dip in global temperatures"

Where are you getting that from? That's just flat out, completely wrong

If you mean it is down slightly from the peak of the last El-Nino, that is completely irrelevant.

To sum up, I got a consensus from the community that this graph showed a short-term dip in global temps.

That's below the trend line.

And in this, we have a short-term dip below the carbon projections.

Of course, there may be other references.
