It is sometimes claimed that changes in radiation from space, so-called galactic cosmic rays,

Not COSIMIC rays you freaking morons. SOLAR ONES!! Solar emitions go in cycles Cosmic ones are the background radiation of the universe. No one claims THOSE cause global warming.

[Flightdeck]

Cosmic rays are much different than solar thermal radiation.

[Camel Joe]

How convienient. What made them make such a silly claim, Satan?

[the_Watchman]

One can easily detect the bias of an article by noting whether the phenomenon is being considered to affect “global warming” or “climate change”. The former assumes global warming and shows that the writer is primarily concerned with shoring up their failing theory.

Quoting 'psudoscience daily' can be bad for your health...

Did they use the hadCRUT or GISS or UAH temperature databases, or did they use the UN Climate Council one that had Medieval Warm Period and Maunder Minimum taken out, I wonder?

[Elpasser]

How hilarious.

The sun, which is the ultimate source of warmth on the earth and daily heats and cools us, couldn’t possibly be the cause of temperature variations.

No, the real culprit has to be an increase of carbon in the atmosphere from 350 per MILLION to 370 or so!

This reminds me of THE LAST CENTURION, a current novel absolutely every freeper should read. The narrator, an unapologetic conservative, is apoplectic with the idiots who continue to trumpet global warming nonsense even as the planet slips into a “mini ice age.”

I dunno, those cosmic rays are nothing to mess around with!

However, the researchers who stick to this hypothesis find little support amongst colleagues.

Ignaz Semmelweis stuck to his hypothesis that "childbed fever" could be lessened/prevented if doctors attending women who had recently given birth washed their hands well between patients, despite finding little support amongst colleagues.

Copernicus stuck to his hypothesis that the Earth was not the center of the universe, despite finding little support amongst colleagues.

As Michael Crichton put it,

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There are decades of research correlating ice core samples to solar activity. Researchers can see the cores correspond. There is research correlating mud core samples that correlate climate change to solar activity.

Cosmic Craze? What Cosmic Craze?......................

[Raycpa]

Cosmic rays are too minuscule to create a warming trend but minuscule amounts of additional CO2 from humans is creating a warming trend without a doubt?

[ChessExpert]

Well we know it’s not carbon dioxide.

[LiberConservative]

Cosmic rays?! WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!! LOL!!!

>> Center for Climate and Environmental Research <<

IE: a think tank set up to create data to support global-warming lunacy. Otherwise it would be a Center for Atmosphetic Science, or something like that.

[justa-hairyape]

It is the combination of increased Cosmic Rays and Decreased Solar Energy that cause Global Cooling. Just look at what is happening in the Northern US this winter for an example of the process. Record snow levels, record cold. Science that is backed by real time observation. Gee. What a concept. So conversely, the combination of Decreased Cosmic Rays and Increased Solar Energy causes Global Warming and Drought. That theory just gained weight in Eastern Australia by examining drought rates over the last 100 years.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[uglybiker]

I doubt Cosmic Ray is in a condition to explain much of anything.
