He’s going to be thrown under the hybrid bus
The last time the earth had a little ice age millions died from starvation and pestilence.
I know that this is the coolest summer I have seen since I moved to this area almost 10 years ago.
I think he’s saying that the activities of the sun can result in either a warming or a cooling of the atmosphere. The relationship is not direct, necessarily, but since decreased solar activity would correlate with cooling in the Earth’s atmosphere, it can be considered as a cooling agent. The term “agent” here has specific scientific meaning.
Ok, I can’t go quite as far as sweater weather, but this morning, taking the dogs out, I noticed how pleasant it was.
I live in Gainesville, Florida...we have hot and humid pegged.
My wife and I were talking about it the other day, it has been a remarkably mild summer.
Wrong. It starts in about 4 mo. and will be known as winter.
Bush’s fault.
Minority women and children hit the hardest.
Republican’s blocking legislation to resolve the crisis.
UN convenes, but needs billions more from the world’s richest nations to address the looming crisis.
Did I get it all?
Sun cycles were described back in the mid-19th century.
The current minimum is well within statistical projections.
It’s not even the longest this century.
But not according to the global warmers.
If its not out of service with mechanical failure.
That’s why I said “predict away”- he has nothing to go on to say what the Sun’s output will be next week.
I didn’t know that solar activity had anything to do with temperature. I thoiught it was the size car I drive.
The only solution of course will be a global socialist command economy.
A little translation problemo, dude. What the good Doc is saying is that "Whenna da Sun, sheesa no worka so good, we getta leetle chili maybe heare ona de Eart." ¿No entiendes?
And blame me, I translated the translator.
>>The last time the earth had a little ice age millions died from starvation and pestilence.<<
And the last time the earth was as hot as algore claims it will be, most people were serfs, not free.
So your point is that starvation and pestilence are far worse than no freedom? Don’t think so.
Next week there will be no sunspots.
On the other hand, this could go on for a few more months, or for the next 70 years.
There’s only a couple of hundred years worth of data for a star that’s over 5 billion years old.
And there are no useful theories about why the solar cycle is so variable.
So in general, I agree with you.
The significant message of the article is not global warming or global cooling. It is the fact the sun contributes to either by the point in the natural cycle of the sun’s solar activity. Please be patient and read through these links. Very technical: http://sharpgary.org/landscheidt.html Newsy, but full of dialog following the article by novices and experts: http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/ Other great climate links: www.climateaudit.org and www.icecap.com. One I like to lurk: www.solarcycle24.com. Read these my friend and be ignorant no more.
Now some smart young fellow from Mexico, figures it all out.
Won't be long now. Someone at Harvard will figure it all out... as soon as he/she gets back from the Cambridge Obama Rally, that is, and finds a spot for the Volvo, and finishes filling out the Gov Grant Appl to get $1.5 Million to study "The Effect of Global Warming on the Polar Bear's Sexual Development for Same Sex Attraction."
