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 Earth’s climate isn’t 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 Earth’s atmosphere and changing the climate. Yet an experiment at CERN, Europe’s high-energy physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, is finding tentative evidence for just that.
Er, it really doesn’t 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 world’s 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.

“Algore’s head is about to explode.”
This, too, is caused by cosmic rays. The Fantastic Four, however, were transformed by greenhouse gasses.
interesting.
They have proven that gamma rays entering a replicated Earth atmosphere can provide the energy required to create the nucleus for water condensation to occur. Basically turning water vapor (gas) into liquid water (clouds). So gamma rays must affect the density of clouds in the Earth atmosphere. So when the Earth receives more gamma rays, we have more clouds created. More clouds cool the Earth. Less clouds warm the Earth. The gamma rays are emitted by sources outside our solar system. The sun shields the Earth from gamma rays by the solar wind and its magnetic field. When the sun is less active, more gamma rays enter the Earth’s atmosphere.
So why can’t they use this knowledge for rain on places like Texas now...and wherever drought cripples the land?
“When its output fluctuates, everything in the solar system is affected.”
Well, that’s not fair. We need to organize for solar justice.
C’mon, Ernest! You know the big bucks can’t be made from that whole “sun” thing. We have to stick with the “man made” meme or poor Al will feel bad and any number of “green” industries will collapse overnight! Have you no pity? ;-)
Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear” 2004, thoroughly destroyed the AGW Fantasy.
It’s amazing, really, how the sun affects everything about our planet....no wonder God set it there... and it does “RULE the day.”
Yes! One of Chrichton’s many legacies!
The global warming crowd reminds me of the trade unions. If you threaten their money machine they’ll come after you with a vengeance. With billions in grants at stake they don’t care who they destroy.
Kinda harsh, but I think, deep down, we all know the sun has it coming...
I think that it was so cool that he stated that when Russia imploded, a new boogeyman was required. Voila, AGW!
Yup. The insidious folk who make money from fear ALWAYS need a new monster.
Would that be Cogitator? He still posts, but only occasionally. You can imagine that he was met with a lot of opposition. His posts were excellent however, and a good balance against the prevailing "wisdom" here on FR. He was good at keeping the skeptics honest.

The second primary factor involves converting that water gas (water vapor) into liquid water (cloud moisture). Now gamma rays help with the conversion of vapor to water. The more water vapor in the atmosphere, the more liquid water can be converted. Basically in a high gamma ray environment the atmosphere will have less water vapor and more water moisture.
In a nutshell - Your normal Texas rain was actually deposited in the Western Mountain ranges this year.
Some of us skeptics have always been honest. That was never the problem. Skeptics are not the ones who were caught red handed committing fraud.
Now keeping us skeptics correct is a noble and wise endeavor.
Yeah, with a real conclusion drawn directly from a real experiment that yielded real data.
Sad that it has to be smuggled in somewhat, but it still got through. The system's been bent, but it's not broken.
As yet, anyhoo.
You might be seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Watch to see if any of them become embarrassed over their earlier enthusiasm. If so, I suggest cultivating it. When the AGW believers hit that tipping point, AGW will fade into the sunlight like goldfish swallowing (1930s) or stuffing as many people as you can in a phone booth (1960s?)
