Dang it, beat me to it.

President Bush also spends his free time turning out 5 legged frogs and Vice President Cheney tattoes Haliburton on their backs (it is true! Michael Moore said so).

Then why has it been highs in the freaking 50s here in freaking Michigan in freaking JULY?

No kidding. Here in Wisconsin we topped out at 64, before dropping down back 61 by around 4:00 this afternoon. The rainiest spring I can remember, followed by the coolest June, with July on track for more of the same.

Ok, so did you even bother to read the article? (Obviously not)

Go back and read the article and pay close attention to the part about them testing ice cores with the known data and going back through the past 1000 years or so.

Sunspot ping. Would've sucked to try to work DX on 20 meters back in 1680, it sounds like... :)

Yeah and you could also forget about Sporadic E on 6 meters back then although with all the cold fronts then, maybe you could have lucked out working tropospheric ducting on 2 meters, 220 Mc, or 440 Mc. B-)

"Sunspots reaching 1,000-year high..."

I just want to know who was counting 1000 years ago?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

At least the (immediate) giant meteor strikes have been called off until after the elections.

Wasn't that suppose to be sometime this month?

[Eighth Square]

This could be really 'series' y'know! Me'be even, really, really, series!

"They had better antennas back then....

And better filters for QRM....."

And no BPL.

[Old Professer]

Back then, a sunny day was as rare as an eclipse.

[Old Professer]

Quit leaving your windows open.

[Old Professer]

How do you lighten a fork over there? Here we just bite off a tine or two...

[Old Professer]

Br isotope analysis accounts for inferences not measurements of actual sunspots or warming; the article is obviously biased by agenda.

Whatever, we must deal with what we find.

Imagine -- the Sun, *our sole source of heat*, has an impact on the climate. Call 60 minutes. ;') My thanks for posting this.

George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

William the Conqueror's Global Warming
by Steven J. Milloy

Lloyd Keigwin, a researcher from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution... concluded that although sea surface temperature (SST) in the northern Saragasso Sea is now about 1 degree centigrade warmer than 400 years ago during the Little Ice Age, it is about 1 degree cooler than about 1,000 years ago during the Medieval Warm Period. Keigwin's conclusions are based on his study of sediment accumulation in the Saragasso Sea... Eleventh century society burned no gasoline. There were no electric power plants to burn coal. No chemical plants emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Airplanes, reputed to emit as much of the greenhouse gases as the eighth most polluting nation, were still 900 years away from being invented.
