NASA sunspot activity prediction indicates next decade coldest in over a century [FR Exclusive]

The DUmmies have already blamed this cooling decade on global warming. Yes, like massive government spending will reduce the deficit, global warming will cool the earth.
It sounds logical to me. (Huh? WT....?)

Sorry, I won’t believe it until the Old Farmer’s Almanac confirms.

I saw the youtube video and thought it looked more like a seizure than a heart attack but a Pacemaker kicking in would explain that...

Here is an early thread on why this may not be true and the forecast should be revised down to zero sun spots.

We seem to forget or ignore what our forefathers knew.

Very true. I bought a book called the Gardeners Weather Bible. It teaches the tricks the old timers used to use to predict the weather. It's still on my "to learn" list, though. I really should get back to that book. I keep getting side tracked by other stuff.

GLOBAL WARMING OFFICALLY OVER says NASA! Time to move towards the equator everyone. All undocumented workers first.

Seriously, did anyone check to see if the curry he had for dinner was checked for poison?

The top dog at the IPCC has a religious belief that the SUN never changes. Some of the running dog lackeys over there are not beyond killing opponents to that thesis.

Nonsense! I distinctly remember during the summer, a Canadian astronaut in the space station remark how much less ice there was in the Arctic than when he was up there 10 years ago in the winter...

You’d think that sunspot data ought to be very accurate, certainly more accurate than the centuries of “average global temperatures” (based apparently for the most part of tree ring data from a few locations in the northern hemisphere), regardless of whether one claims that the temperature record shows a hockey-stick shaped surge to dangerous levels or a correlation to sunspot activity. I’m getting kind of sick and tired of statisticians pretending to be scientists when they have yet to come close to really understanding the science behind all this wonderful data.

10 years ago the cooling off cycle had just started, and the warming cycle was coming to an end. If true, the ice may have melted from the warning up cycle and now has to rebuild itself. A cycle usually last about 30 years. That's how the commies on the left got an entire generation thinking there was going to be an ice age. After that, a whole generation was led to believe the earth was going to burn up. Now, the commies have to go back to the death by ice age again.

“I’m getting kind of sick and tired of statisticians pretending to be scientists when they have yet to come close to really understanding the science behind all this wonderful data.”

I assume this was facetious??

Does anyone know with some certainty how much total energy from the sun is getting absorbed by the earth in terms of electromagnetic waves, subatomic particles, and other stuff (like effects of tidal forces perhaps ...?). Seem to remember reading somewhere that the W/m^2 of light radiation (very easy to measure) hasn’t really changed that much at all although it may have been higher/lower a very long time ago.

[Perchant]

I doubt it. The last few years have been some of the coolest in centuries and they say those years are in the top 5 warmest ever, every year. It’s unlikely we will stay this cold, just by the law of averages, and since they have managed to fool the people into believing these last years have been warm, the people will continue to believe that the climate is unnaturally warm and getting warmer.

[concerned about politics]

NASA? Although I have long said we are entering a prolonged period of cold, having NASA say the same gives me pause. NASA is no longer a trusted source.

Now that the global warming scam has been blown wide open - they're trying to save their butts by reporting the truth?

You would enjoy my daughter’s facebook group, People’s Organization for the Preservation of the Earth or POPE. Their motto is (tongue firmly in cheek): Stop Global Warming, Extinguish the sun.

Hehe...Love it!!

[mamelukesabre]

Uhhh...in your first graph, the blue line is going up and the red line is going down. I don’t see how that proves we are headed for a decade of record low temps.

[dr_who]

I don’t think so. Correlation between A and B doesn’t mean A causes B, and says even less about why and how A influences B. But after hearing about all the wonderful liberties that CRU “scientists” took with the raw data that were all too happy to shred instead of sharing with all the different kinds of researchers out there (particularly given how historic and consequential this research was supposed to be for all mankind), I really doubt whether much of this has anything to do with science. Going by the plots up above, I don’t see a correlation between temperature and sunspot activity either.

[Deagle]

Heh...The effects of the sun should and are delayed a bit I would think. At any rate, you sound like a global warming enthusiast to me... Good luck with that, but maybe you should listen to Lord Monckton and his cerebral analysis before becoming a pervert (whoops, I mean convert)...
