Cold sun rising

Excellent layperson summary of climate research with a history of how it has evolved from a science to a political cause with the likelihood that the climate skeptics will be proven correct as the sun enters a cooling phase.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

[tanuki]

This came from ‘The Nation’?

[jmacusa]

Yeah, right? Well at least the “Global Warming’’ crowd ought to be happy.

[CedarDave]

This came from 'The Nation'?

Kinda hard to believe but maybe the author is their token conservative.

[smartyaz]

Agreed, The Nation?

[tet68]

Dang Global Cooling Deniers.

Professor Valentina Zharkova

Say Flash! would that be Dr. Zarcova...

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

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

[Vermont Lt]

The idiots in Congress think too many people on Guam will tip it over.

Say Flash! would that be Dr. Zarcova...

His first name is Noah. ;-)

[smartyaz]

That is a CLASSIC! Liberal intelligence for everyone to witness.

For your PING list.

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

It's not the Sun they want to control, it's you and me. And they want you and I to pay for controlling us.

[jmacusa]

Yup, you’re. The Sun is a star. A giant mass of hydrogen gas that converts to helium and every element on the Periodic Table. It’s where we came from and some day old Mr. Sun is going to die off in a supernova and take us with it.

[jmacusa]

typo; meant to say ‘’You’re right’’.

[CedarDave]

Looks more scientifically accurate than Michael Mann’s made-up hockey stick graph!

(BTW I’m a believer in the use of tree rings, but for springtime moisture, not for temperature; the two do not always correlate.)

[WKUHilltopper]

Yep.

[randita]

Oh, ye of little faith! Environazis will find SOME way to blame the cycles of sun activity on us wee mortals. It HAS to be our fault so we’ll feel guilty and submit to their control.

[Billthedrill]

It won’t take long for the libs in the media to turn on a dime and claim that they knew it all along and if it weren’t for those rascally non-scientific climate-denying conservatives they’d have Global Cooling under control by now. All it would take is a little more socialism.
