The money quote:
He says, “If this deep solar minimum continues and our planet cools while CO2 levels continue to rise, thinking needs to change. This will be a very telling time and it’s very, very useful in terms of science and society in my opinion”.
This doesn’t say that CO2 isn’t a factor in the temperature rise. It says there may be another factor.
What is sadly lacking is a breakdown as to how much of the rise is from which cause.

Sun spots... Don’t let the science to cut flow of billions of dollars into the “warmers” pockets!

My astronomy class went out yesterday to look at the sun through the telescope and my prof was disappointed that there was no sunspot for us to view. Maybe this is the reason. I linked this email to him.
I’m more interested in this stuff than ever before, mainly because I understand it so much better.
We’re in a deep solar minimum...
we broke a lot of older records around here in SE WA state...
go to the NASA web page, note the years 1954 & 2009
A lot of the records that were broken were recorded back around 1954...

Look at 1944... I’m sure any of you WW2 vets that froze your butts off in the Ardennes would find that winter on the chart too...
New research from NASA suggests that the Arctic warming trend seen in recent decades has indeed resulted from human activities: but not, as is widely assumed at present, those leading to carbon dioxide emissions. Rather, Arctic warming has been caused in large part by laws introduced to improve air quality and fight acid rain.Dr Drew Shindell of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies has led a new study which indicates that much of the general upward trend in temperatures since the 1970s - particularly in the Arctic - may have resulted from changes in levels of solid "aerosol" particles in the atmosphere, rather than elevated CO2.
Gee who would have thought that the temperature on earth is somehow connected to the sun’s output. How could that Nobel Prize winning Al Gore have missed such a thing? Perhaps Obama better start thinking about re-engineering the sun so we don’t all freeze. (sarcasm)
Actually, the sunspot activity is low because of global warming. I have it on good authority from NASA.
It’s one thing for people to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...
The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle”
If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link.

[this is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size...]
It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.
Also, see it online here...

Buy it here...

[this one would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...]
I think Algore and his minions should bring a legal case against the sun. The sun shouldn’t be allowed to not have sunspots and to cause global warming! Where’s the justice?!!!! Let’s get the Greenie’s mobilized!!!!!
bttt
What it does clearly explain, is that the insulation (the greenhouse) does not set the thermostat - the Sun does; which is observable with your own home.
Just try adding allot of insulation, and then vastly lower your heater’s thermostat, and see how long your house stays warm anyway. In time, it doesn’t. The insulation helps keep in the heat you’ve given it, but it can’t ADD heat, and even the best insulation (highest CO2 count?) does not stop heat loss, and as lower the heat input it will still cool, eventually, if heat-input is continually reduced, your house will become a well insulated freezer, not a “green house”. So too the earth.
Man-made global warming will change to man-made global cooling.........
We now definitely need government help!
Presents reasoned information in re the effect of cloud cover, revealing the complexity of interactions between cloud cover, solar radiation and resultant temperature effects and trends. Yet, I am told, the mathematic models of atmospheric dynamics that heve been used (exploited?) in concocting the carbon dioxide myth do not take into account the effects of clouds. If true, such models do not deserve their name.
Would that be before or after we spend the $20 Trillion to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions?
