A typical sunspot compared to the size of the earth. Sunspots have all but vanished in recent years.

It’s obvious the CO2 is escaping through the ozone hole and extinguishing the solar flairs.

Researchers predict..

Big deal. Forming a consensus is the way it's done these days.

The last time this happened was 400 years ago -- and it signaled a solar event known as a "Maunder Minimum," along with the start of what we now call the "Little Ice Age."

The Little Ice Age never happened. It did not fit the global warming model, so our written history is incorrect. Earth's temperature has been constant for billions of years before the invention of the combustion engine.

I thought we were at the end of an 11 year cycle.

As to the picture comparing a sunspot with the Earth... wow.

There was a final link in the last paragraph that I omitted. It only led to DailyTech's homepage.

darn...I was looking forward to global warming and lower heating bills.
I hate being cold.

Global cooling scare in the 70’s to early 80’s, global warming scare in the late 90’s to 2007, now were back to global cooling. I think I see a pattern here.

If you are interested in Astronomy, this data has been out there and available for a long time. If not, you probably haven’t seen it.

The data is real, the correlation with low temperatures is quite real. These are not whispy computer models that don’t work in the real world.

Well it doesn’t matter,global cooling or warming; We know humans are to blame. Humans should just stop living and allow the animals to frolic and commune with nature without mans evil presence to hinder them. Everything would be wonderful for a long time after the departure of man. Well, until monkeys, Panda Bears or something got around to inventing SUV’s.

btt

Global warming? It’s the sun.

Global cooling? It’s the sun.

I’ve always wondered why all experts don’t look to the “source” when they start pontificating about temperature changes on earth. Actually, I guess it’s because they can’t yet figure out a way to blame sun activity on man’s activity on earth.

But I’m sure they’re trying.

Time for a class action suit against Gore for breach of promise -

[randog]

Such research dates back to 1991, when the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study showing that world temperatures over the past several centuries correlated very closely with solar cycles.

My research shows the same. It's cold at night, hotter during the day.

Seriously, this is what I've always worried about. While the GW trolls blabbed on about the non-existent CO2 problem, all signs indicated that we were in for a re-run of the little ice age. The only satisfaction I'll have is the look on Al Gore's face when he's told that he was wrong--very wrong.

A repeat of the Maunder Minimum.

I’ll laugh my ass off.

[Young Werther]

Sounds like Global Warming is N to the third, (or cubed heh! heh!)

[VeniVidiVici]

LOL! Caught this at the end of the article. Definately worth a repeat:

Even NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies -- long the nation's most ardent champion of anthropogenic global warming -- is getting in on the act. Drew Shindell, a researcher at GISS, says there are some "interesting relationships we don't fully understand" between solar activity and climate.

Duh, ya think?

[SuziQ]

“Algore Minimum” ping!
