Scientist: 'Mini Ice Age' to begin within two years.

Reuters is reporting that Mexican scientist is predicting that the Earth is not only not experiencing Global Warming but will, within two years, enter an extended cooling period that will lead to a mini Ice Age.

The following text is translated by Google, so the English is a bit rough, but you'll get the jist:
"At present, the world is going through a transition phase where solar activity diminishes considerably so that in two years or so, there will be a small ice age that lasts from 60 to 80 years," and the immediate consequence of this, he added, will be drought.

In particular there is the so-called "Little Ice Age", which refers to a cold period that lasted since the beginning of the fourteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century.

Analyses of the IPCC concluded that it was regional phenomena or accentuation local "Current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of abnormal heat or cold in this timeframe," said his 2001 report.
I'm not sure, but I think I said the same thing back in February ...
