A debatable proposition (US presidential candidates facing off over science issues could backfire)

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.

Well it doesn’t matter,global cooling or warming; We know humans are to blame. Humans should just stop living and allow the animals to frolic and commune with nature without mans evil presence to hinder them. Everything would be wonderful for a long time after the departure of man. Well, until monkeys, Panda Bears or something got around to inventing SUV’s.

btt

[thestob]

of course the new ice age will be blamed on global warming

[bboop]

Hey, how are we going to have an Ice Age if the glaciers are melting??? I am soooooo confused.

[Will88]

Global warming? It’s the sun.

Global cooling? It’s the sun.

I’ve always wondered why all experts don’t look to the “source” when they start pontificating about temperature changes on earth. Actually, I guess it’s because they can’t yet figure out a way to blame sun activity on man’s activity on earth.

But I’m sure they’re trying.

Thanks for the link.

It would be great to see some pols in Congress, or even our poor deluded Prez to point these scientific proofs out before either Hil, Obama or McCain go rushing into Kyoto, mandates, and an end to free enterprise capitalism in our time. Too bad the MSM will not print this stuff with more explanations and or even debates on this junk that we get fed each day and night from the whackoes on the Left.

Time for a class action suit against Gore for breach of promise -

Such research dates back to 1991, when the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study showing that world temperatures over the past several centuries correlated very closely with solar cycles.

My research shows the same. It's cold at night, hotter during the day.

Seriously, this is what I've always worried about. While the GW trolls blabbed on about the non-existent CO2 problem, all signs indicated that we were in for a re-run of the little ice age. The only satisfaction I'll have is the look on Al Gore's face when he's told that he was wrong--very wrong.

A repeat of the Maunder Minimum.

I’ll laugh my ass off.

[Young Werther]

Sounds like Global Warming is N to the third, (or cubed heh! heh!)

[VeniVidiVici]

LOL! Caught this at the end of the article. Definately worth a repeat:

Even NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies -- long the nation's most ardent champion of anthropogenic global warming -- is getting in on the act. Drew Shindell, a researcher at GISS, says there are some "interesting relationships we don't fully understand" between solar activity and climate.

Duh, ya think?

[stboz]

A repeat of the Maunder Minimum. I’ll laugh my ass off.

More likely you'll freeze it off.

[SuziQ]

“Algore Minimum” ping!

[L,TOWM]

In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov predicted the sun would soon peak, triggering a rapid decline in world temperatures. Only last month, the view was echoed by Dr. Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. who advised the world to "stock up on fur coats." Sorokhtin, who calls man's contribution to climate change "a drop in the bucket," predicts the solar minimum to occur by the year 2040, with icy weather lasting till 2100 or beyond.

Anyone else other than me feel pretty dammed sad that the only people that seem to be speaking with some honesty and real research into climate change are the RUSSIANS?

Was'nt too long ago, the meme was that we could'nt lie and the russkies could'nt tell the truth.

I should really stop trying to figure out how I stumbled into a rabbit hole a decade or two ago...

[JerseyHighlander]

Can I assume you have a passing interest in Astronomy at least?

My understanding here is that the sun spot cycle is not moving into some lesser activity trough, but that the cycle is just taking about 2 months longer than usual to return to the upswing in activity.

Is that correct?

The crisis is over. The cold snap ended today. It is only -20.

First we saturate the market with suntan lotion and other beach stuff, then we switch to selling ski stuff. Those teeny boopers will never see it coming. I tell ya we are going to clean up, make a mint and all that.
