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

Lol!!!

Yep.

If it wasn't for FreeRepublic, we would never see this article in the U.S. Thanks for the post.

The Global Alarmists have been using 'selective reporting' in an attempt to frighten the public for years, and typically like to START the measurements at the depth of the last ice age, then use faulty models to come up predetermined 'answers'.

Aside from the end result, is this any different?

Magnetic Reversals and Glaciation

"Earth’s magnetic field fading. December 12, 2003. The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field has declined ten percent 10% during the past 150 years, says Jeremy Bloxham of Harvard University. This could be the prelude to a geomagnetic reversal."

One could speculate that a decrease in magnetic field strength could create a rise in naturally occuring cancers of the skin and possibly other types of carcinoma.
These have been on the rise and magnetic field strength has been fading.

If what is below is true, then one could also conclude the opposite. If we are headed into another ice age, the Sun is magnetically is less active, which would mean that the sun's rays would not be as strong.

Sharma's calculations suggest that when the Sun is magnetically more active, the Earth experiences a warmer climate, and vice versa, when the Sun is magnetically less active, there is a glacial period. Right now, the Earth is in an interglacial period (between ice ages). This is also a time of high solar activity.

My point was that we would have gotten the story even if free republic didn't exist....Lets not blow our own horn without justification. Free republic has plenty of actual accomplishments to publicize.

I wish I had the data to plot for the last 8 years. But this is the best I could do for free. The last 8 years would cost $20.

Thanks for the ping.

When the magnetic poles "flip" it could take thousands of years and rather than a "linear" flip, the flip occur es in a chaotic sequence where the dipole breaks up into multiple poles. This multi-pole phase weakens the overall magnetic field strength because multiple north and south pole get distributed over the earth's surface. This will do great harm to migratory animals and navigation in general and will reduce the protection the field provides to radiation from the sun.

"Isn't that IPCC study the one where a good many of the scientists who worked on it circulated a petition complaining that the conclusions were not supported by the research?"

"In my more than 60 years as a member of the American scientific community, including service as president of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society, I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.

What the nodding sheeple who have bought into global warming don't understand is that forcing a few Republicans out of their SUVs isn't going to satisfy the environmental lobby. They want a wholesale change in Western lifestyles leading to the abolishment capitalism and the industrial revolution. It is a Utopian movement not unlike the Khmer Rouge, and they are not going to let anyone slide because they have a Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker on their Volvo.

[bobdsmith]

sorry, my bad mouse clicking. I meant to address my comment to the opening post, somehow it ended up replying to yours.

I do not see it as very different. But two wrongs do not make a right.

[Seadog Bytes]

No problem.

Did you see this...?

Just noting that the envirofascists have caught on to the fact that there really hasn't been warming in recent years.

So obviously, AIR POLLUTION has dimmed the amount of sunlight getting to earth and now that we cleaning up the air, global warming will no longer be masked.

NOVA, PBS's excellent science series, will have the storyline in next week's schedule.

This is so inaccurate it hurts!

Thanks for the link.

I believe it's NOT so much about attempting to control 'global warming' as it is about attempting to control all human activities.

Certainly, the method by which most harmful 'carbon-based emissions' may be controlled has been available for some time...
