Joe Bastardi: “Future Shock…Brutal Winters Ahead from 2013 On…Now Into A Major La Nina”
By P Gosselin on 10. September 2010
Joe Bastardi predicts shock cold in the years ahead.
That’s what Joe says in his latest video. The PDO is now going into its cold phase and the current La Nina is going to be a bear – and quite possibly a polar bear at that.
The Pacific, the primary global climate driver, has been in its warm cycle since the late 1970s, and that’s coming to an end. That period was dominated by El Ninos, which kept the planet on the warm side. But now the Pacific has flipped and we’re now entering a cool phase, where La Ninas are expected to dominate.
I disagree with Joe when he says the brutal winters are going to start in 2013. In my view they’ve already started! So If Joe thinks the last couple winters have been mild, I sure hate to see what “brutal” is going to look like!
Joe thinks that brutal winters follow deep La Ninas. And because he thinks the next 2 years will be dominated by a major La Nina, then cold winters are expected to strike beginning in 2012-2013.
He’s getting bold with his predictions. But if he winds up being right, then the AGW theorists and their half-baked models are history. Joe says in the video:
Here we go. We spike this up. And now we’re into a major La Nina that’s going to last for the next couple of years. When we come out of that, there’s really good reason to believe the winter of 2012-13, and perhaps beyond, is going to be quite cold.
Then there are the wild cards, says Joe: solar activity and volcanoes, which impact the ENSO. Joe also mentions how the current La Nina has so far come on faster and harder than anything he can remember. You can see what he means looking at the following graphic:
Comparing this La Nina to the last one, this one is in a big hurry, and is shaping up to be a deep one. That all of this is occurring during a very slow solar cycle may be just a coincidence, but enough scientists are out there yelling “heads up!”
I myself am buying extra long-johns this fall for the months and years ahead. Last year’s pairs are already worn out.
I really hope hes right- i think this could be true sure weve gotten a kinda bad winter in 2008-2009in february...severe in 2009-2010...nd a severe nov and dec in 2010-2011- i think were going to have severe cold winters now for a long time to come- scientists are now saying this because of global warming
sunspots,low solar activity,la nina nd a few other things. He was right about this winter bein cold so hes probs right bout next yr..hopefully :rolleyes: but how come jan,feb and march were fairly mild nd then we got a severe nov and dec...that was weird arent jan nd feb supposed to be coldest.
SO what do you all think????:D
oh p.s i meant severe winters in future in title not 'severel'7

doesn't Joe usually do predictions for N. America? are the ones you've quoted above for Europe/Northern Europe?I sure hope so:D:D

If it means [so far] that we will actually have seasons in this country, then I'm all for it.
I enjoyed this winter gone, it was beautifully contained inside the 'winter' months and the weather is warming up nicely [as expected actually but not experienced for a few long years until maybe last year].
I am looking forward to a few glorious days in summer, I did enjoy one in 2010 ~ and enjoy is me having the time off and the price of a gallon of petrol and a 1/2 a larger and just drive out into the country not actually going anywhere and soaking up the rays.

yes joe bastardi does do forecasts for america but when he worked for accuweather he posted blogs and forecasts just for europe- but he has resigned form accuweather now nd does blogs nd forecasts for america again on weatherbell.com
Yes fizzycist- this was posted by him during his time in accuweather when he was the european long range weather forecaster for europe and northern europe- he posted this just before the severe cold of nove and dec 0 -

maybe ur ight...but we can hope and my hope is for the winters in ireland to get longer and colder from here on in with cold snaps galore from november to april:D:D i think we will- sure we had 3 in a row colder than normal to very cold winters in a row nd lots of news reports were saying severe cold winters in future for europe so i am sure we will have more snowy winters in future. whos with me?:D:D 0

yes but back to the point , does anyone have any useful input or actual information to input into this thread ??;):p
I think M.T. mentioned a while back the Sun has woken up somewhat, but that there will be a latency period before the increased solar activity begins to take effect, so the recent solar minimum period may reach its peak over the course of next two winters. There is a growing body of opinion that the low solar activity is mainly responsible for the unusally cold times we've experienced over the last two winters.0 -
