Well!Ther go’s the global warming.The liberal idiots won’t believe it because there is no consensus.
They’ll find some excuse.
I’ll believe the solar cycles are changing before I believe in this global warming BS.It just makes more sense.Something liberals don’t usually have.
I don’t know if that’d be enough.
The monkeys or lizards might evolve into another equally destructive, fossil-fuel burning species.
The only solution is, blow up the whole planet.
LOL!
They could be right or even close..
The question is how long the minimum will last and what will be the effective total reduction of activity..
60% is quite a drop...but it’s entirely possible they are correct.
Q-Does the number of sunspots have any effect on the climate here on Earth?
A-Sunspots are slightly cooler areas on the surface of the Sun, due to the intense magnetic fields, so they radiate a little less energy than the surroundings. However, there are usually nearby areas associated with the sunspots that are a little hotter (called falculae), and they more than compensate. The result is that there is a little bit more radiation coming from the Sun when it has more sunspots, but the effect is so small that it has very little impact on the weather and climate on Earth.
However, there are more important indirect effects: sunspots are associated with what we call "active regions", with large magnetic structures containing very hot material (being held in place by the magnetism). This causes more ultraviolet (or UV) radiation (the rays that give you a suntan or sunburn), and extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV). These types of radiation have an impact on the chemistry of the upper atmosphere (e.g. producing ozone). Since some of these products act as greenhouse gases, the number of sunspots (through association with active regions) may influence the climate in this way.
Many active regions produce giant outflows of material that are called Coronal Mass Ejections. These ejections drag with them some of the more intense magnetic fields that are found in the active regions. The magnetic fields act as a shield for high-energy particles coming from various sources in our galaxy (outside the solar system). These "cosmic rays" (CRs) cause ionization of molecules in the atmosphere, and thereby can cause clouds to form (because the ionized molecules or dust particle can act as "seeds" for drop formation).
If clouds are formed very high in the atmosphere, the net result is a heating of the Earth - it acts as a "blanket" that keeps warmth in.
If clouds are formed lower down in the atmosphere, they reflect sunlight better than they keep heat inside, so the net result is cooling.
Which processes are dominant is still a matter of research.

Just wait and the church of the global warming will with twisted logic claim that global warming is actually causing global cooling.
Even common sense would indicate that solar activity affects the Earth. Unfortunately, many people in this country have lost their common sense.
The same scientists that jumped on the global warming wagon when the pos was about to pull thier funding?
The Center for Sun-Climate Research at the DNSC (Danish National Space Center) investigates the connection between variations in the intensity of cosmic rays and climatic changes on Earth. This field of research has been given the name 'cosmoclimatology'"..."Cosmic ray intensities – and therefore cloudiness – keep changing because the Sun's magnetic field varies in its ability to repel cosmic rays coming from the Galaxy, before they can reach the Earth." :

Perhaps she can get away with it because the science is based purely on the physics of the Sun and she doesn’t venture into modern Earth climate data. I mean, the Thames did used to freeze over and not even Michael Mann has figured out a way to hide that fact.
We need to start pumping CO2 into the atmosphere NOW to compensate.
The sun has been burning for billions of years and this idiot thinks the oilot light is going to go out in 15 years. What a friggin genius...
Forecasters are horrible at predicting future weather a week out. There is no way they can predict 15+ years in the future with any degree of certainty.
This is just a puff piece.
The sun has been burning for billions of years and this idiot thinks the pilot light is going to go out in 15 years. What a friggin genius...
Oh forget it, they bash the hell out of him. He’s an atmospheric physicist, a Jewish guy who’s been doing it since 1960. I wish to hell I could remember his name. He’s considered THE top scientist when it comes to stuff like this.
RICHARD LINDZEN! Found him..........

To save it, of course!
:-)
are weather has always been dictated by how much energy the sun has been throwing off. the nitwits that believe in man made global warming don’t understand this. I wont say that I believe that we are headed into a mini ice age but I believe the science behind the claim is a lot more solid then those that believe that the pollution from cars is causing global warming. a major volcano eruption puts more pollution then man does
Agreed. If you watch the video at the source, we are ahead of the curve predicted by the narrator. All very interesting....
