Maurice Strong, father of "Global Warming" has a ranch in a very "ice age" proof area also. I figure if the elite take up residence in the tropics we are definitely headed for deep yogart. The switch from interglacial to glacial can be sudden.
"...rapid climate transitions, most of them on time scales of centuries to decades or even less. The most detailed information is available for the Younger Dryas-to-Holocene stepwise change around 11,500 years ago, which seems to have occurred over a few decades. www.esd.ornl.gov...
Number crunchers have tried to find patterns in the weather for centuries.
SHORT-MEDIUM TERM
* ~22 year magnetic sunspot cycle
* ~88 year Gleissberg cycle
* ~206 year cycle of solar variability
LONGER TERM
* 26,000 year cycle of the 'wobble' with precession of the equinoxes
* 40,000 year cycle of the +/- 1.5° change in the Earth's axial tilt
* 100,000 year cycle in the eccentricity of Earth's elliptical orbit
* 220,000,000 year cycle (and smaller sub-cycles) due to rotation of the Solar System about the galactic centre which takes the Earth up and down through the galactic plane; interstellar dust levels and incident cosmic ray flux changes as a result

“In about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity,” according to a report in the major Mexican newspaper Milenio Diario. translate.google.com...//www.milenio.com/mexico/milenio/nota.asp?id=651680&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=es&tl=en
”Instead of professed global warming, the Earth will be facing a slow decrease in temperatures in 2012-2015. The gradually falling amounts of solar energy, expected to reach their bottom level by 2040, will inevitably lead to a deep freeze around 2055-2060,”
Abdusamatov claims that the upper layers of the world's oceans have become cooler, this is a clear indication that the Earth has already hit the temperature ceiling, and that solar radiation levels are falling and will eventually lead to a worldwide cold spell.

Perhaps industry is being moved out of the north (the USA and EU) for a reason besides cheap labor....
