Has new research disproven the theoretical models of anthropogenic global warming? A new study by a European nuclear research group appears to show that the actual prime cause of temperature shifts in the Earths climate isnt carbon dioxide at all, or even the broader range of greenhouse gases, but the large ball of fire in the center of the solar system. Not that this study from CERN has attracted much attention in the media, at least not in the US but at least Nature reported the results and the implications:
It sounds like a conspiracy theory: cosmic rays from deep space might be creating clouds in Earths atmosphere and changing the climate. Yet an experiment at CERN, Europes high-energy physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, is finding tentative evidence for just that.
Er, it really doesnt sound like a conspiracy theory. The notion that the sun heats the planets is rather mundane, or at least it used to be before scientists started claiming that carbon dioxide would superheat the atmosphere. In fact, AGW skeptics have long pointed to solar cycles as a much more likely explanation for the gradual but uneven warming seen over the last century or so.
To find out, Kirkby and his team are bringing the atmosphere down to Earth in an experiment called Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets (CLOUD). The team fills a custom-built chamber with ultrapure air and chemicals believed to seed clouds: water vapour, sulphur dioxide, ozone and ammonia. They then bombard the chamber with protons from the same accelerator that feeds the Large Hadron Collider, the worlds most powerful particle smasher. As the synthetic cosmic rays stream in, the group carefully samples the artificial atmosphere to see what effect the rays are having.

fyi
The people who are trying to keep the AGW scam alive are the same kind of people who lost money to those Nigerian bank account scams and keep them alive on the net.
Algore’s head is about to explode.
It's cool to be warm.
Maybe he imploded also :^)
Would love to hear from some scientist on what exactly in layman's terms this means specifically.
Behold, actual science.
When he published his theory, the eurinal moonbats went after him with a vengence. They started claiming he was an instrument of the "oil industry" trying to discredit their pet theory. The basis for the charge was that he had once done research for the oil companies - back in 1968 or something!
He laughed at them, because he was old and really didn't give a crap what any of them said. He was a scientist with no political agenda, and was shocked that his theory was so controversial and his motives were being questioned.
I wish I could remember more about him or even the magazine where I read the article. It was a science magazine, like Discover or something.
They made a sealed box containing a replication of the earth’s atmosphere at the levels where clouds form. Then they hit this sample atmosphere with a replica of the sun’s output, then measured what happened. No carbon was involved.
They got measured warming in line with global warming. Ergo, the sun causes global warming, not carbon emissions.
Now that I read the article, it may be Jasper Kirkby who was the subject of the article I read back then.
Very interesting indeed. I have read abou the Collider and it can sure make one wonder how far they will get with that. It’s a huge thing!
Unfortunately my brother is the science minded one in our family and he understands it all completely. When we spoke about the Carbon” ordeal he flatly stated carbon is not the issue and the environmentalists would be further ahead just planting trees.....he’s pretty livid about the Carbon Tax issue etc. Says it’s all ridiculous. ..and he did mention the sun at that time and how it works on our plaet...but of course soon went over my ability to grasp.
I found a link to the article I read, but you have to subscribe to read the whole thing:
Discover Interview Sun's Shifts May Cause Global Warming
He's not in his eighties, he's in his fifties, but he doesn't really care if his theory is politically unacceptable. He just cares that it is correct.
This is all you need to know: When temperatures on Earth went up... so did the temperatures on Mars and Venus. Pretty sure there’s no carbon-spewing SUVs on those planets.
The Sun is a giant fusion furnace that heats planets at several-light-hours’ distance. When its output fluctuates, everything in the solar system is affected.
I also doubt any of these actual scientists have several mansions and fly in private jets all the time like Al Gore and his fellow AGW believing “scientists” do.
All these beautiful works of art were created by advancing and retreating glaciers. Or, in other words, Climate Change.
"SEVEN YEARS OF COLLEGE DOWN THE DRAIN!"
Even among the liberals, a dawning realization is hitting. They're starting to understand that AGW is a faith among them, not a science. They know it's true, but they can't prove it. Doesn't make them any less devout, but it makes them increasingly nervous to try and throw down with the 'science is settled' line like they used to. It's anything but.
The only thing that's for sure is their devotion to the church of Gaia. Which is fine, but they're learning that scaring people with crap research is a losing proselytization technique.
