DENNIS T. AVERY SPEECH TO METLIFE: “EXPECT MODERATE GLOBAL COOLING.”
June 24, 2008
The earth has entered a moderate 25-30 year cooling, which was predicted by the sunspots a decade ago, Dennis Avery recently told the MetLife Agricultural Investment Division at Lake Tahoe, NV. He said the cooling is now also endorsed by a recent shift in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The cooling is likely to radically change the world’s political climate too, with profound impacts on bio-fuels, energy prices, power generation and agricultural trade. Avery warned that current farm land values include a “bio-fuels premium” that could disappear without much notice. He forecast a longer-term easing of eco-regulations in both farming and forestry as the global warming hysteria fades, with broader adoption of biotechnology to support a redoubling of world food and feed demand, increase fertilizer efficiency, combat likely drought problems, and accommodate temperature changes. Avery stressed that the planet is only 150 years into a Modern Warming—part of a moderate, natural 1,500-year cycle that’s likely to last several more centuries—and be far more favorable to humans, wildlife and vegetation than the next “icy age” that will inevitably follow.
