Galactic dust storm enters Solar System   17:20 05 August 03 Stuart Clark   The Sun's shifting magnetic field is set to focus a decade-long storm of galactic dust grains towards the inner Solar System, including Earth. The effect this will have on our planet - if any - is unknown. But some researchers have speculated that sustained periods of cosmic dust bombardment might be related to ice ages and even mass extinctions. During the last decade, the magnetic field of the Sun acted like a shield, deflecting the electrically charged galactic dust away from the Solar System. However, the Sun's regular cycle...

Thomas Gold & The Deep, Hot Biosphere Thomas Gold has suggested that perhaps petroleum production might be an ongoing process that is occuring all the time. We probably learned in high school that our cars were running on the carcases of dead dinosaurs. Mr Gold refutes that notion and does it eloquently. I have asked him to join us at Jabberwoq and discuss his concept.

Weather and climate are cyclic phenomena. Have been for billions of years. Things change. Nothing is static. There is NO valid scientific basis for blaming mankind for any weather woes except the immediate results of cloud seeding and very localized urban heat island effects. Humans and other critters have learned to improvise, adapt and overcome. Migration has been the primary response to climate ...

" The organization is Toward Tradition, founded by Orthodox Rabbi Daniel Lapin in 1991. It describes its mission as "fighting secular institutions that foster anti-religious bigotry, harm families, and ultimately jeopardize the survival of America." In a telephone interview from Toward Tradition headquarters on Mercer Island, Wash., National Director Yarden Weidenfeld explained the theme of an ad the group plans to place in at least one major U.S. newspaper. "It ...

"Because of the large and still uncertain level of natural variability inherent in the climate record and the uncertainties in the time histories of the various forcing agents (and particularly aerosols), a causal linkage between the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the observed climate changes during the 20th century cannot be unequivocally established. The fact that the magnitude of the observed warming is large in comparison to natural variability as simulated in climate models is suggestive of such a linkage, but it does not constitute proof of one because the model simulations could be deficient in natural ...
