No, it's not. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration at 383 ppm and
rising at 2 to 3 ppm/year almost certainly forbids that, at least until
the following cycle after things equilibrate in 100,000 years or so.


''Global warming could plunge North America and Western Europe into a
deep freeze, possibly within only a few decades.

That's the paradoxical scenario gaining credibility among many climate
scientists. The thawing of sea ice covering the Arctic could disturb
or even halt large currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Without the vast
heat that these ocean currents deliver--comparable to the power
generation of a million nuclear power plants--Europe's average
temperature would likely drop 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F), and parts of
eastern North America would be chilled somewhat less. Such a dip in
temperature would be similar to global average temperatures toward the
end of the last ice age roughly 20,000 years ago.''

And global average temperature would continue to rise.

On a local scale. Local is not global. Short of a geological catastrophe
is impossible for global average temperature to fall with atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentration rising such that it is. So dream on.

Whom do I believe, or NASA?

Kindly go to your local libraries.See if they have back issues of
Popular Mechanics magazines and Popular Science magazines.Look for those
magazines whch date back about four or five years.Look on the front
covers of those magazines.One of the front covers of those magaines (and
the article is in the magazine) says,,,,
NASA! YOU ARE BROKEN!

The weather here is cooler (keep in mind,this is the Old Deep South
here,Mississippi) this time of year than I ever remember before.High
forecasted temperature for next Monday is 80 degrees.
Global warming is a bunch of Horse S..t! If anything at all,this old
Globe is cooling down.Al least around this neck of the Old Deep South
Mississippi,it is.
