Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Answer: Congress will control the sun by controlling the less-than-specks that stupidly elected it.

Oh happy day. From northern Michigan. This is why Obama signed the emergency thing the other day....in case of solar storms. See my posting history....hard to see a future much anymore...no solar storms, idiot.

You mean I can advertise 'Snow shoveling' in my neighborhood in Florida. I'm going to get a list of customers...

And I'm going open 'ConservaTeen Snowmobile Sales', too.

I heard the conspiracy theory that Russians oppose global warming because they want it to warm, they have all that land that is a frozen mess.

...

They also sell a lot of carbon producing fossil fuels.

However, along your line of reasoning, I’d like to see scientists come up with an optimum temperature for the Earth. I bet it would be warmer than it is now.

This is all well and good....but, have they rounded up a consensus? You need a consensus, or it just isn't science. You need at least 200 of the world-leading plumbers, sociology profs, news anchors, green-peace advocates, deli chefs, etc., or I'm afraid we just won't believe it. You know, like, you need a consensus. Nice try though. /s

Actually, we’re currently within an ice age that is 4 million years old.

You are correct. What we have now is a brief warming period during an ice age.

Darn, this map shows that where I’m going to retire to next year is under the snow/ice cap.

I think Albert Gore Jr. will build another 100,000 square foot house and fly his plane around to keep the planet from cooling...

The people working on sun cycles are astrophysicists, not those goobers who play global warming games.

I have heard two helio physicists refer to the current trend as a coming Maunder Minimum and there has been only a disagreement about whether the minimum we are entering will be a Dalton minimum (mild) or a Maunder minimum (severe). The Earth cooling is not an issue, the raw data supports the cooling. No opinions needed, it is what it is.

This is one of the very few articles I have seen on FR involving climate change that I can’t show to be total bs.

Russia may be in the lead on this subject as major cooling could be catastrophic for their crop production. Really bad.

Our own crop season will shorten too with possibly serious water problems, too much water, but we are probably better prepared than most.

Gmo technology as well oil and gas technology will probably be a real blessing. Restarting the coal industry is a national security issue as it will help us a huge amount in the future.

I agree with the article completely. Excellent science as well excellent reporting, an unusual combination these days.

This is gibberish.

The sun is cooling, and has been for over 20 years, but that will not make an “ice age.” When we cool, precipitation decreases, so there is no significant ice build-up going to happen anywhere but in the polar oceans.

This does fit in with our falling summer temps though.

NO problem. WHEN this happens (and I believe the SUN DOES affect climate) then all WE have to do as humans, according to liberals, is create MORE carbon dioxide. Should be a piece of cake. After all they SAY we’re making the planet warmer.

Guess we all better stock up on mukluks, parkas, and thermal underwear.

Before the Himalayas formed (raising carbon dioxide removal via weathering) and South America separated from Antarctica (allowing circum-polar currents to form that trapped cold air around that continent), the world’s average temperature is thought to be 10° to 15°F warmer than today.
When you take Antarctica into account, the world’s average temp is around 50°F.
If we didn’t have that literal cold sink, we’d have no ice at the poles and a much warmer world.
This is why the “OMG, the oceans will rise!” mantra is so tragic-comic - because of our archeologically abnormally low ocean levels.
