“Sun-Caused Warming” - What a dullard I am - now it all makes sense!/sarc

[coconutt2000]

The Aug. 28 issue of the journal Science details how the scientific team led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), using a century's worth of data and three powerful computer models, figured out just how small changes in solar activity can trigger great changes in earth's climate.

The key is that they're using reliable data collected over a century for their modeling, and they aren't trying to make Big-A projections from Big-A assumptions about data derived from sources whose accuracy and error ranges are impossible to calculate accurately. Their modeling is limited in scope to trying to understand the chemistry of our atmosphere and how that chemistry is affected by solar activity.

As I try and explain to people all the time - our atmosphere's chemistry is so poorly understood that climate prediction models in favor of global warming that use human carbon emissions as the cause are based on a simplified model that has the conclusion of carbon emission based global warming built-in to the model. In other words, the models are fixed to produce the predicted result.

How much money can Algore raise by getting credits for claiming he can change the spots on the Sun?

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The slight increase in solar energy in the peak production of sunspots is absorbed by stratospheric ozone, warming the air in the tropics where sunlight is most intense. The additional energy also helps produce more ozone that absorbs even more solar energy.

So, OZONE is one of the culprits! Bring back the CFCs.

That 0.1% is 4 times larger than the electrical power all of humanity uses. Just that slight change in solar output swamps our TOTAL electrical power consumption.

I suppose the master plan but the loons will be to shoot icebergs into the sun.

I’m sure Obama will appoint a sun czar to figure out how to avoid this crisis by taxing sunspots.

[SunkenCiv]

We've had a flurry of these. Uh, if you'll pardon the metaphor.

I guess we should come up with a weapon that can damage the sun in order to prevent the destruction of the planet. /s

Sun-Caused Warming

Dog-caused manbiting!

[beaversmom]

I had a feeling the sun might be involved but I could just never prove it.

Anyone memo’d this to Gore and the other moronic global warming idiots?
