Here Comes The Sun

Global Warming: Drip by drip, like a glacier melting in the sun, the claim that man is changing the climate is dissolving into irrelevance. The recent findings of Swiss researchers expose another hole.

Former Vice President Al Gore has for years warned that man-made global warming is melting the world's glaciers — a tactic commonly used by alarmists who want to whip up hysteria. Swiss researchers, however, have presented evidence that weakens the argument.

Scientists at Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology have found that solar activity caused Alpine glaciers to melt in the 1940s at rates faster than today's pace, even though it's warmer now.

The study found that the sun in the 1940s was 8% stronger than average and far more powerful than it is today. It also concluded that solar activity was weaker from the 1950s to the 1980s, an era in which the glaciers advanced.

The Swiss researchers are spinning their own work, saying that the evidence doesn't mean the public can stop worrying about man-made warming. But their finding validates other researchers who have said solar activity has a far greater impact on temperatures than human CO2 emissions.

This report from Zurich reminds us of another myth perpetrated by Gore. In his Academy Award-winning documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," he contends the snowcap on Mount Kilimanjaro has retreated because of human greenhouse-gas emissions. Yet scientists have been telling a different story.

For those who have had the opportunity to stand on a hot summer day in the south, it doesn’t take a university study to teach them that if it’s 102 degrees in the sun, it’s 95 degrees under the Oak tree.

So let me see if I got this right. If the sun gets hotter...then...the earth gets warmer? And if the sun gets cooler....then..the earth gets cooler? That’s an amazing scientific revelation.

In Khanh Hoa in Viet Nam on a hot cloudless windless day you can go into a grove of mango trees where it is 10 degrees cooler and feel a cool breeze.

The warmers don't want to acknowledge that they have a losing hand and instead are going to double down on a bad bet.

But the experts, after punching big holes in AGW, always waffle and say that man-made global warming is still a serious concern.

These guys are afraid of their own shadows. No guts. It makes me sick.
