I do sometimes feel that I must apologize to my readers... I again have been busy over the last few days doing some major work around the house and taking care of some personal and family business... The writings at this blog therefore do suffer from time to time...Someone recently got into an argument with me over the issue of "Global Warming".... He of course has been completely brainwashed by the bullshit coming out from the Jew spew media and our own governments that continue to preach that in spite of all the evidence to the contrary and the fact that this winter has been unusually and very brutally cold, the planet is overheating due to the fraud of "Global Warming"... Yes in spite of the intense cold that we are all experiencing right now, these idiots are still pushing the lie that the planet is heating up and that we must accept "carbon taxation".... I therefore feel that another article to expose the fraud of "Global Warming" is due....I came across the following report from the American Thinker website, at www. americanthinker.com, that I want to share with all of my own readers here... It is entitled: 'Bad News For Warmists: Sun Has Entered "Weakest Solar Cycle In A Century" and I have it right here for everyone to read for themselves.. It shows clear evidence that the Global Warming scam artists are absolutely wrong (again) and we should be prepared for a long cold spell.... I have my own thoughts and comments to follow:February 18, 2015 Bad news for warmists: Sun has entered 'weakest solar cycle in a century' By Thomas LifsonThe conceit that human production of carbon dioxide is capable of driving the earth’s climate is running smack into the sun. CO2 accounts for a mere 0.039% of the atmosphere, while the sun accounts for 99.86% of all of the mass in our entire solar system. And Ol’ Sol is not taking the insult lightly. Vencore Weather reports:
For the past 5 days, solar activity has been very low and one measure of solar activity – its X-ray output – has basically flatlined in recent days (plot below courtesy NOAA/Space Weather Prediction Center). Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots.
We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and today the sun is virtually spotless despite the fact that we are still in what is considered to be its solar maximum phase. Solar cycle 24 began after an unusually deep solar minimum that lasted from 2007 to 2009 which included more spotless days on the sun compared to any minimum in almost a century.
There are several possible consequences to the solar quiet. The first is counterintuitive:
By all Earth-based measures of geomagnetic and geoeffective solar activity, this cycle has been extremely quiet. However, while a weak solar cycle does suggest strong solar storms will occur less often than during stronger and more active cycles, it does not rule them out entirely. In fact, the famous Carrington Event of 1859 occurred during a weak solar cycle (#10) [http://thesiweather.com/2014/09/02/300-pm-the-carrington-event-of-1859-a-solar-superstorm-that-took-places-155-years-ago/]. In addition, there is some evidence that most large events such as strong solar flares and significant geomagnetic storms tend to occur in the declining phase of the solar cycle. In other words, there is still a chance for significant solar activity in the months and years ahead.
Our dependence on electronic devices is such that extreme solar events could have serious consequences. However, it is the likely impact on atmospheric temperatures that threatens the “consensus” on global warming:
…if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth.
It is common sense to believe that the sun has more influence on global temperatures than a trace gas. With a 17 year “pause” in the predicted outcomes of an increase in atmospheric CO2, warmists face more and more awkward questions. If temperatures actually decline as a result of an expected decrease in solar activity, at some point the game will be up, and the billions of dollars a year squandered on climate modeling that doesn’t predict what happens will have to dry up. Hat tip: Bryan Demko NTS Notes: I do feel like a broken record by having to reiterate again and again that this cycle of cooling is a very natural cycle that is fully generated by our Yellow Dwarf Star, Sol.... Right now, Sol is approaching the lower end of this cooling cycle and that means that we will indeed see very cold temperatures all over the planet for the next few decades to come... But fear not, for Sol's radiation output does naturally fluctuate, and after this cooling cycle, it should have an increase in solar radiation output and our planet will enter a period of warming... This is a natural cycle that has been going on for billions of years, and is absolutely unaffected by so called 'green house gases"....It is also a fact as shown in this article that CO2 is not a major force behind the "Global Warming" scare... I have shown in many previous articles that fact that Carbon Dioxide is not a so called 'Greenhouse Gas' at all, but is a major proponent of life on this planet itself.... The fact is that the Global Warming scam artists have tried to cover up the fact that increases in Carbon Dioxide actually follows any increases in atmospheric temperatures, and therefore is not the cause of temperature increases.. CO2 in fact is actually a coolant, and has little or no effect in temperature fluctuations in our atmosphere...And for those who have asked, H2O vapor is by far a more significant "greenhouse gas" in our atmosphere...The bottom line is that this cooling spell and very long and cold winters is only the beginning.... Sadly many nations have been suckered into the fraud of global warming and are unprepared for the direct opposite... Many will pay dearly for their folly....More to comeNTS
