Chilling News: “Sunspots May Vanish by 2015” (counter CAGW)
National Solar Observatory via icecap.us ^ | August 26, 2008 | William Livingston and Matthew Penn

Posted on 08/28/2008 4:28:18 AM PDT by PreciousLiberty

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.

magnetic splitting of an Fe I line...

Lets see, Fe is Iron, Iron is used by modern Industrialized man to make cars and buildings, Man is now responsible for splitting the Sun's Iron processes, this will cause MASSIVE climate change in the NEAR FUTURE. Send MONEY NOW!

I’m not clear on this — can somebody help me? When I make a tinfoil hat, does the shiny side go on the OUTSIDE, or does it go on the INSIDE?

Depends. If you're trying to keep your brain waves from escaping, shiny side in. If you're trying to keep the gov't out, shiny side out. Personally, if they want my brain waves, they need to pay for them, so i'm a shiny in kind of guy.

From today's WP: 7 Years to Climate Midnight By Carlos Pascual and Strobe Talbott

The liberals are trying to stampede us into a socialist hell using climate change as the instrument of our destruction. They know full well that unless something happens soon in terms of legislation, this entire scam will be seen for what it is. It is just a matter of time.

Linear extrapolation is always useful. For example, we should all be paying 200% of our income in taxes by now, and -25% of Americans should be on welfare.

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!

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.

You're both wrong. This is a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card for the MMGW freaks. Now, their data doesn't have to show warming. They will say that the Earth is still much warmer than it would otherwise be and that when the sun cycle ends we are all going to burst into flames.

If we are .5 degrees colder, they will say that we should actually be 1.5 degrees colder, thus we are 1 degree warmer.

I agree with you and please excuse my ignorance on this issue but predicting that there will be no sunspots in 7 years (earth time) is pretty ballsy. 7 earth years is a nano second (or some extremely small increment of time) when compared to the age of the sun. To be so precise on something so volatile, call me a skeptic but this sounds like a search for grant money.

My guess is the sunspots will stop...wait for it...now, er I mean...now.

I’m in the Tidewater area. We’ve really only had one full week of sustained heat and humidity. We’ve had hot days here and there but nothing like the usual. My wife and I have spent more evenings sitting on the patio after work this summer than we ever have in last 10 years combined.

Climate Similar to the 1800s Within the Next 15 Years: First Stage of Global Cooling During 2008/09
By David Dilley, Meteorologist

In the peer reviewed book “Global Warming—Global Cooling, Natural Cause Found”, meteorologist and climate researcher David Dilley utilizes nearly a half million years of data linking long term gravitational cycles of the moon explain the recent global warming, rises in carbon dioxide levels, and for 2200 global warming cycles during the past half million years.

The gravitational cycles are called the Primary Forcing Mechanism for Climate (PFM), and act like a magnet by pulling the atmosphere’s high pressure systems northward or southward by as much as 3 or 4 degrees of latitude from their normal seasonal positions, and thus causing long-term shifts in the location of atmospheric high pressure systems.

Research by Mr. Dilley shows a near 100 percent correlation between the PFM gravitational cycles to the beginning and ending of global warming cycles. Global warming cycles began right on time with each PFM cycle during the past half million years, as did the current warming which began 100 years ago, and it will end right on time as the current gravitational cycle begins its cyclical decline.

Global temperatures have cooled during the past 12 months. During 2008 and 2009 the first stage of global cooling will cool the world’s temperatures to those observed during the years from the 1940s through the 1970s. By the year 2023 global climate will become similar to the colder temperatures experienced during the 1800s.

Mr. Dilley of Global Weather Oscillations has found seven different types of recurring gravitational cycles ranging from the very warm 460,000 year cycle down to a 230 year recurring global warming cycle. All of the gravitational cycles coincide nearly 100 percent with 2200 global warming events during the past half million years. This includes the earth’s current warming cycle which began around the year 1900, and the first stage of global cooling that will begin during 2008 and 2009.

The release of the book “Global Warming- Global Cooling, Natural Cause Found” culminates 19 years of research clearly linking gravitational cycles as the cause for fluctuations within the earth’s climate. The book is available as an electronic e-Book on this website. The author David Dilley is a meteorologist and climate researcher with Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO), former meteorologist with the National Weather Service, and co-host of the radio program “the Politically Incorrect Weather Guys” airing weekly on RadioEarNetwork.com, an internet streaming radio program. Read more here. He also believes a moderate El Nino will occur this fall.

Don't ever use two layers with the shiny sides together! The waves will get trapped between them and start resonating which will cause your head to explode! ;^)

This has to stop. The only solution is for us to send all liberal Democrats to the sun so they can do something about it. We can tell them they will all be safe as we’ll send them there at night.

In any case, there will just be more of the same handwaving. It's getting so weird, though, that it'll soon be pushing the bounds of incredulity even for those without enough background to easily see that the emperor has no clothes. Apparently this is already happening in Great Britain.

I did this before reading you shouldn’t do it and my head DID explode. Great. Now I believe in global warming, the tooth fairy, and am planning to vote for Obama.

Please get your explanations out quicker...

Bush’s fault, or possibly Big Oil.
