where are these skeptical predictions of cooling?
most of the skeptics that I have read say that we have a slight warming trend from recovery from the Little Ice Age with superimposed natural variability cycles, the main one being about 60 years long.
Skeptics dont make predictions, they show that warmers' predictions are wrong, because climate models are wrong and should only be used as a tool to promote further understanding not to scare the world into global socialism.
Global Cooling As predicted, 2011 was cool 2012 will be cool
Records from all over the world show that a long sunspot cycle is followed by cooling in the next cycle and a short sunspot cycle indicates warming. The last sunspot cycle was 12.5 years and the previous one was 9.5 years. The evidence tells us that a 3 year increase in cycle length will result in cooling of at least 1°C. As the total amount of warming that has occurred since the early 1900s is 0.7°C, this is potentially very serious. We could be returning to the conditions in the little ice age.
History tells us that cooling causes crop failures, famine, disease and, often, war.

you obviously read the one page article (and I recommend it) because you cut and pasted from it. the first and main part is about how ENSO is connected to global temps with a 6-8 month lag. this is forecasting the weather based on empirical data not forecasting the next 100 years of climate based on computer models.
the second part at the end is titled "Will the cooling continue". it points out that longer than normal sunspot cycles are frequently followed by cooling. again, suggesting that it might, based on past evidence.
and then it ends with a statement that makes the uncertainties obvious---"We must not forget that the climate changes naturally and we need to be prepared for climate changebe it cooling or warming."
something the CAGW alarmists seldom do. they dont want to dilute the message
and no one besides the batshit crazy skydragon slayer types have denied that there is a non zero effect on radiative energy tranfer by increasing CO2
Like Walleyes and Frankie Boy. And a number of others.
Two years does not a climate trend make.Straight forward predictions. Warm 2012, maybe record. Warmer 2013, almost certainly a record. But not a one of you ready to state that it will be cooler, as it should be if it is truly cooling now.
He tunes in with his tinfoil hat. That's how The Goracle speaks to his acolytes.Straight forward predictions. Warm 2012, maybe record. Warmer 2013, almost certainly a record. But not a one of you ready to state that it will be cooler, as it should be if it is truly cooling now.
Can you predict the aurora borealis too?

Temperature predictions so far have been fairly accurate.

Seriously for a moment.............
Everybody on the AGW bandwagon also implicitly puts total faith in government. Those with their feet on the ground...........do not. All of the dreams of the AGW folks are predicated on the government taking taxes and spending them prudently on stuff. ( in this case, towards combating AGW). Im a bit less enthusiastic when I see government bureaucraceis like the GSA spending close to 1 million dollars for a conference in Vegas, 130K of which was for the purpose of "scouting out the facility". Oh......and $4.00/shrimp.........all on the public dime.

Its quite amazing that somehow you've blamed the GSE's overspending on climate scientists.
