Environmentalist Blame Sun for Global Warming

Maybe the demon rats will pass a law banning sunshine. The a--holes.

[KarlInOhio]

You had me fooled. I hoped that some environmentalists had come to their senses.

PHDs... Piled Higher and Deeper. Common sense has flown out the window.

Environmentalist Blame Sun for Global Warming

[J40000]

“...environmental scientists and the United Nations has discovered the sun is causing much of the global warming we experience today. “We’ve suspected this for some time,”

Well, gollllllllllly! I’m SURE glad we have such BRIGHT and BRILLIANT people in charge of things.

We yokels woulda NEVER thunk the sun had anything ta do wit it!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Boycott the sun!

[Archon of the East]

LOL. Too good to be true!

[truthguy]

Damn that really took some real analysis. Wow I never would have thought of it. You mean the output of energy from the Sun isn’t constant? I never would have considered that.

[AZhardliner]

They call this science? Har Har Har

[Old Retired Army Guy]

But, but, but what about man made emissions of CO 2?

[LibertarianLiz]

Wow! You mean that big fire-ball in the sky has something to do with how warm the Earth is??? Who would have thought that? Oh, yeah, me.

The Sun IS responsible for periods of warming and cooling. But not like most think. It's not so much that the Sun emits varying amounts of heat energy from time to time, but rather that the Sun's periodically changing magnetic field effects cloud formation and sunlight filtration.

Here's a chart showing the various peaks and dips in the 11-year sunspot cycle throughout the past centuries. Note the "Medieval Max". It corresponds to the "Medieval Warm Period". The "Maunder Minimum" corresponds to the "Little Ice Age", and the "Modern Max" to the recent warming trend we had been experiencing, at least until the past 15 years or so.

"Changes in carbon-14 concentration in the Earth's atmosphere, which serves as a long term proxy of solar activity. Note the present day is on the left-hand side of this figure."

Is this satire?

“We’ve suspected this for some time,”

Are all of these guys a few bricks short of a full load?

[Leo Farnsworth]

When the sun shines the interior of my SUV gets HOT.

No doubt I should pay higher taxes.

These are the geniuses who insist that we use the new curly lightbulbs because they supposedly last longer (NOT! in my experience) and use less electricity (that is because they illuminate less than the regular incandescent bulbs.

The sun causes all global warming, except the heat coming from Algore’s mouth. D’oh!
