Abstract (Document Summary)

The forecast is for continued cool weather all over the earth through the mid 1980s, with a global warming trend setting in thereafter for the rest of the century--followed by a severe cold snap after 2000, a cold snap that might well last throughout the first half of the 21st Century.
