There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998

I'm looking forward to the Pole Shift.

 

I need to take you to a strip club in Allentown...

Which one and what part of the area?

I recently ran across some information about the magnetic field reversal. Apparently it does not happen all of a sudden, but rather gradually, perhaps over a period of a thousand years or more. I guess this gives the world time to adjust, since while the reversals are clearly indicated in the rock which is fluid at the time of reversal, I have not heard of scientific indications of major terrestrial disasters related to the reversals.

Rebump!

But recognize that +>4 degree "asterick" cleverly superimposed (projected on the alarmist graph) at year 2004.

Well, we are at year 2007 now, and that +.4 degrees ISN'T present: We are still stuck at +.1 degree from 1970's (low) level.

Odd. Global warming isn't warming. Temp's (mid-troposphere from NASA) have been stable for 8 years since 1998's peak.

Given today's thoughts about the impact of cosmic rays, (influenced strongly) by sunspot activity, on cloud cover and thus on climate/temperature changes, what would the impact be of losing the entire protection of the Magnetic poles for several years?

Is the pole reversal (continuing even more rapidly now!) as the north pole races across the Arctic towards Russia, linked to the sudden drops that characterize an incipient Ice Age?

After all, the very slow cycle times of the Mik. cycles can't really account for the sudden climate changes that are the Ice Ages. The periodicity of the curves seems too slow.
