Global Cooling

Climate Cooling is a scientific theory that has had some resonance in the 1970s, before the finding that temperatures had dropped between1945 and 1970. It is now increasingly raised before the cooling that hits much of the world, particularly because of the influence of solar activity on the climate. The hypothesis of global cooling enjoyed some success in the 1970s Thus, the American newspaper Newsweek in its edition of 28 April 1975, published in his column science article to stir entitled "The Cooling World". June 24, 1974, Time had also covered this subject. This question feeds the writings of many authors, whose writings physicist Carl Sagan or the book The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age. The Los Angeles Times headline for his part in the 1978 "No End in Sight to 30-Year Cooling Trend in Northern Hemisphere." Similarly, Lowell Ponte devoted to the question in a book in 1976 entitled The Cooling.

Some recent developments point to the possibility of a generalized cooling, particularly the sharp decline in solar activity: researchers from the NCDC (US National Climatic Data Center) and wrote in 2008 that, in view of the exceptionally cold winter, it was premature to talk about global warming [1]. 2008 was also the coldest year since ten years [2].

Robert Toggweiler and Joellen Russell of Princeton University and the University of Arizona, current models have not incorporated the effect of wind on the ocean circulation, the compensating exaggerating the role of the man.

Oleg Sorokhtin of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Russia for its part considers that solar activity is the main driver of climate and, noting the decline of the latter, said a widespread cooling in the likely near future. He is joined on this point by the Canadian Kenneth Tapping, solar physics specialist. David Archibald , Australian scientist sun, defends near vision.
