The last time there was an ice age we did not have 1.5 billion nuclear-armed starving freezing unemployed Chinese and Russians
Herschel was one of those rare geniuses. A German hired by George III as a musician, he made his own telescopes, discovered Uranus (no jokes, please), the first planet ever discovered telescopically and the first planet whose discoverer is known to history. He was acknowledged to be the best observational astronomer of his day.
He demonstrated that grain priced strongly (and negatively) correlated with sunspot number. Is this any time to be burning grain in SUVs?
Obama says it's not no change you can believe in.
It is much worse than we ever thought. Global warming is preventing sun spots.
Oh the humanity.
Don’t forget, McCain just said that GW is real and we must deal with it immediately.
After the election, we had better get out the KY, ‘cause we’re gonna get screwed.
Mercury laden light bulbs are nothing compared to the more punitive things we are going to get pushed on us.
wow!
Sounds like we better do all the Global Warming we can.
First, we need to lower the price of gas at the pump.
Then, we can drive around in HumVee’s.
Since it is ‘known’ by these astronomers and scientists that a lack of sunspots does cause the global average temperature to lower, anything we can do to warm it up will help those who insist the weather should never change.
What I’ve noticed is that the weather didn’t ‘change’.
It simply moved somewhere else.
NEWSFLASH!!!
The sun affects global climates!
(sheesh...)
LOL
"Global Warming" may be the only technique whereby humanity can protect itself from the next inevitable Ice Age. If that's the case, then carbon is your friend.
Keep in mind that the last Ice Age ended only 8,000 years ago. And several times in the past, we had "Smowball Earth," where our planet was covered by ice, pole to pole (ended by huge amounts of volcanic greenhouse gases)
I don’t know much about the scientific principles behind this type of solar event, but I’m sure that all of the people driving SUVs are somehow at fault.
Have you noticed more and more the fanatics are switching from “global warming” to “climate change”. With this change in terminology the fanatics can they were correct whether warming or cooling occurs.
Bump, ping, ding.
This is as important as Palin’s selection- get this article out to everyone....
Bush’s fault
“The event is significant as many climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity – which determines the number of sunspots — is an influencing factor for climate on earth.”
That’s because the REAL SCIENTISTS are telling the CLIMATOLOGISTS they better wake up, and get the campfire going, because it’s gonna get colder for a while, if the sunspot activity stays absent.
“for how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?”
Maybe this winter?
Hey, AlGore, there's your consensus!
We didn’t need intelligent scientists to warn about cooling. I use the simple “not NYT” approach. If the NYT says it, it simply ain’t true. The NYT says
“warming,” and I run for my coat.
