An Ice Age is Coming

I woke up in Los Angeles today and my car window had solid ice on it and had to scrape it like I did when I lived back east.  There is snow on the local mountains of the San Fernando valley, three freeways are closed and a coworker's family member says there is 8" of snow in the desert around Palmdale / Lancaster area.  People are being swindled.  The news won't report it because it doesn't scare people to hear that everything will be fine. They have already had to change their rhetoric from Global Warming to Climate Change.  Well I'll have you know that the weather (climate) changes every day.  Now some scientists are surmising that since the sun spots are lessening the next ice age is upon us.  But people cannot control the weather, that is just a plain fact.

The colleges are really failing or these people are just being bought off, but the data they are using are very suspect.  Their findings are only as reliable as the data being used.  Case and point the NASA debacle where they used faulty readings from Russia when the originally said Oct 2008 was the hottest on record.  They were actually using data from the previous  month (Sep).  Another question I have is how accurate and what kind of standards are the people using in Russia and other countries, how do we know they are using the same techniques that we are.  Also, are our techniques reliable.  I find it impossible that they are reading temperatures in the exact same place with the exact same equipment for the past 100 years or so.  I have worked with temperature and temperature gauges and the temperature can be a few degrees different from one side of room to the other.  Also, it can be different 3 feet from the ground than it is at 6 feet from the ground.
