No but I have considered the possibility that Liberals come from outer space. Possibly from the Planet Utopio. Where life is beutiful all the time.
wait a sec.... scientists aren’t sure where clouds come from?? This clashes with what they taught me in sixth grade!
HGow can we predict “climate change” if we don’t even know where clouds come from?
---It is in the midst of an unusual sunspot minimum, lasting far longer and with a higher percentage of spotless days than normal; since May 2008, predictions of an imminent rise in activity have been regularly made and as regularly confuted.
---It is measurably dimmer than is usual during a sunspot minimum.
---Over the last two decades, the solar wind's speed has dropped 3%, its temperature 13%, and its density 20%.
---Its magnetic field is at less than half strength compared to the minimum of 22 years ago. The entire heliosphere, which fills the solar system, has shrunk as a result, resulting in an increase in the level of cosmic radiation striking the Earth and its atmosphere.
To sum up, nobody really knows why this is happening, or what it means for our climate. Go Here if you want to read scientists arguing about it.
more like the planet Fruitopia.....or...Dystopia
Where life is beutiful all the time.
Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!
Earth not closed system. Film at 11!
You got it!
We'll need more funding to answer that. Therefore, gimme money.
They are definitely from outer space, dropped here by aliens who want to destroy our country and civilizationn.
The current solar siesta is to become known as the
“Gore Minimum”. Hopefully the Sun will finally drive the nail in the coffin of the global warming/climate change carbon trading insanity.
Cosmic rays causing cloud formation is nothing new. Cosmic rays are simply gamma radiation which interact with water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds. Some scientists also believe that the increase in cosmic rays hitting the earth contributes energy to lightning.
Sun in siesta = more cosmic rays reaching earth = more cloud cover = global cooling = Welcome to The Gore Ice Age. I figure he will claim credit for it and try to figure out how to profit from it.
No, they come from Uranus.
Uranus is the Capital of Utopio.
Thanks, that was interesting.
That is what I was taught
Good grief, I -- as a high school sophomore -- could have demonstrated that to you back in 1953.
My homebuilt cloud chamber produced beautiful "contrail" clouds from both alpha and beta particles...
Yep, they're exhaust from UFOs in need of a tune-up ;-)
Does the trees moving make the wind blow?
Yours, perhaps. Certainly not mine. No nihilist little Mr. Hankies goosestepping around here. Seen 'em on tv, though.
You jest, I realize that.
But, I once dated a very cute and very entertaining woman from California, who in hindsight could only be described as a wacked-out neopagan. You know, the naked tree-sitter type. She literally believed that redwoods drew the fog and the rain, and that cutting any of them would cause a disastrous drought. And, she insisted that this was common knowledge, so she was not alone in this belief.
