Chilling News: “Sunspots May Vanish by 2015” (counter CAGW)

National Solar Observatory via icecap.us ^ | August 26, 2008 | William Livingston and Matthew Penn

We have observed spectroscopic changes in temperature sensitive molecular lines, in the magnetic splitting of an Fe I line, and in the continuum brightness of over 1000 sunspot umbrae from 1990-2005. All three measurements show consistent trends in which the darkest parts of the sunspot umbra have become warmer (45K per year) and their magnetic field strengths have decreased (77 Gauss per year), independently of the normal 11-year sunspot cycle. A linear extrapolation of these trends suggests that few sunspots will be visible after 2015.

It truly looks like Al Gore will be exposed as an idiot in the near term. Let's hope it doesn't take a major global disaster to do it!

This is a hard scientific study out of the National Solar Observatory that seems to show that the current solar cycle is going to be longer and weaker than expected, and may portend something resembling the Maunder Minimum. The icecap.us article links two other articles, an analysis and the complete paper in PDF format. I'll provide those here as well:

As the analysis points out, they don't yet have an extensive data set. Still, sure looks like the Farmer's Almanac has this winter pegged...

Here in SE Virginia, this summer has been cool. Spring was cold. August should be blistering in terms of heat and humidity.

It’s chilly in the early morning and we’ve noticed some birds started migration two weeks ago.

OMG! Obama promised change, but this is too much.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[thecabal]

For the love of High Frequency radio, please let this not be true. Although it’s pretty much the situation that we’re in right now...

No, he'll claim that efforts to reduce CO2 have produced some kind of feedback effect on the sun causing it to cool to make the earth cool from man-made global warming.

The summer has been cool here in Michigan too. I was up in the UP in July and we wore jackets almost the whole time. Down here in the bottom part of the state we’ve had nights mostly in the 50s.

[PreciousLiberty]

Winner for funniest response so far...lol

[Paladin2]

Uh, there are no sunspots now.

To Do List:

Make predictions of current events.

[Clara Lou]

LOL!

[PreciousLiberty]

No sunspots in 2015 is quite a bold prediction, and completely counter to the mainstream among solar scientists. Most are predicting an end to the current minimum by late this year or early next year. Regardless, we’re already in a cooling trend I think.

There’s plenty more material on icecap.us or around the web.

[ClearCase_guy]

If we are truly entering a new era of Global Cooling, then it's clear what steps we need to take:

Cut back on CO2
Deindustrialize the West
Sell carbon off-sets
Raise taxes
Exempt China from any proposed regulations related to the problem

The sun is blank--no sunspots

Nice post.

Like the website.

[grey_whiskers]

Like, *PING*, dudes.

Cheers!

No sunspots means your Yaseu FT 857d is now a $700 paperweight

[Nipfan]

He certainly will, and the fact that CO2 emission have risen unabated despite all the hoopla and billions spent won’t make a bit of difference. Its all perception.

I get really disheartened sometimes at how comprehensive and successful the brainwashing has been. I keep telling people that its nothing but a lot of manipulated computer data and they just look at me and talk about the melting icecaps!

[PreciousLiberty]

“The sun is blank—no sunspots”

Yep, and most observatories show none since around last June. IF this current minimum goes well into 2009, it will enter the “very long” category...it’s already a long one.

Sissies. ;-)

This is easily reversible or even preventable by the use of a bio nuclear Hydrogen recombiner placed along the axis of the pro ionization convergence of the previous and next expected sunspot activity.

By starting the bio emitter at 385 HRZ (in the blue/green spectrum) the effects of the Sunspot activity can be easily mitigated, or if necessary even increased if the Blue/green spectrum is exchanged for the Red/blue.

This information is easily and readily available on page 375 of this report. Take note that you will need your Lone Ranger decoder ring to access the truth.
