One of America's most outspoken long time opponents of the Global Warming Doctrine is Dr. Ellsaesser, an atmospheric scientist who retired from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory after 23 years of atmospheric and climate research, who also spent 20 years as an Air Weather Officer for the U.S. Air Force. He recognized in 1980 that the climate models incorrectly represented certain atmospheric processes. Since then, more than 30 organizations and an increasing number of scientists have begun to speak out against the false global warming predictions and the draconian demands that are build around them, such as the worldwide reduction in the use of fossil fuels, in some areas in the order of 60% to 80%. Dr. Ellsaesser pointed out already as far back as 1999 that the global warming that is being observed is 100% the natural result of the Earth coming out of the Little Ice Age between 1450 and 1850 for which the warming trend began several hundred years ago, and this long before automobiles and aircraft existed, when the world was moved by steam engines and horse manure.

Dr. Ellsaesser points out that astrophysical cycles, rather than man-made effects cause the huge changes in climatic conditions that the Global Warming Dogma is concerned with, and he points out that these global climatic changes began long before large quantities of man-made greenhouse gases were added to the natural environment. He also suggests that no evidence exists that the astrophysical cycles that have produced Ice Ages every 100,000 years over the last 700,000 years will suddenly stop for our convenience. Jaworowski suggests that the transition to the next Ice Age could be as a short as single year and begin without warning, or happen over fifty years. Some climatologists believe that the transition could begin soon if it hasn't already begun, or might still be 50 to 150 years away (hopefully at least 100 years).

The challenge that society is facing is to enable itself to survive the agricultural consequences of the large climatic cooling that will be experienced when the Earth reverts back to normal Ice Age conditions. The survival of much of mankind may not be possible unless society translates its brightest historic principles, the Principle of Universal Love that is referred to in this novel, into real life. Nothing less will likely suffice to empower society to create the platform for worldwide unity that will be needed to create an Ice-Age Renaissance with technological infrastructure for large-scale indoor agriculture.

The Principle of Universal Love will likewise prove to be essential for mankind to deal with the soon to be upon us world-financial and economic collapse that is referred to in Chapter 4 of the novel in the letter to Anibal. The contents of the letter are based on a Nov. 2004 statement by the American economist and political leader, Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. The Ice Age references have been added in this case.

In the final analysis it must be deemed impossible to convey to another person what really separates fiction, science, and reality, as the borders are always shifting. The reality, therefore, has to be discovered individually by employing one's own mental resources out of the depth of each ones own honesty with oneself.





The end.
