Yet, according to the carbon cult flunkies the sun is not a factor, major or otherwise, in our climate. That is ABSURD! More on the infantile mindset of this crowd after the main news..... Take note of the size of our earth relative to the Sun- Fortunately we are at just the right distance :)Wired changed their spin headline to one that related a bit more to actual content- check the url for yourself ! We're lucky Earth isn't caught in a permanent Ice AgeWhy are we lucky? Because we are at the ideal distance from the Sun! Too far from the sun- Too coldToo close to the sun- seems sensible it would be too hot
" If we were just a fraction further from the Sun, life on Earth would be very different... or probably non-existent"
The Earth might be more special than we previously thought. ( I already know the Earth is very special) A new scientific study has found that if we were just a fraction further from the Sun, our planet would be locked in a never ending Ice Age.The findings, published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, will help us understand what criteria to look for in Earth-like exoplanets.For years, scientists have discovered a huge amount of evidence that shows the Earth is the perfect place for life.“It has a magnetic field that protects us from the solar wind,” says Martin Turbet, from Sorbonne Universitésin Paris. “It has an ozone layer that shields us from UV light, it has the right amount of water on the surface for both lands and oceans to exist.”
Controversial billboard? Not according to this report. Not according to what is obvious and in your face.
Turbet and his colleagues have found another factor to Earth’s list of exceptional qualities. “We show in fact that the Earth is just at the right distance from the Sun to be able to escape from episodes of complete glaciation, that - we know - must have occurred 2.4Gy and 700My ago,” he explains. "Move the Earth away from the Sun by only 15 per cent, the team found, and it would be permanently frozen."
In fact....
Just the facts
vs Wild Speculation:
“We had some clues that CO2 condensation could occur on cold planets, and that it could affect the ability of Earth-like planets to escape from episodes of complete glaciation,” Turbet says, “but no-one has ever been able to quantify it.”
Wild speculation aside- If our perfect home was just a little further from the sun it wouldn't have that 'location, location, location' appeal that makes it such a desirable residence! Getting to that infantile mindset...Recently Canada's Thought Police decided different opinions were sacrilegious. Via the "Competition Bureau"(now that's Orwellian) a group/bandwagon of phony greens, employing appeal to their authority, simply “demanded” they be shown as fools. And they were. To bad most Canadian's didn't realize they were shown to be fools! Their outing occurred when the competition bureau dropped the phony green instigated PR stunt investigation. Truly, doing that motley crew a favour. Sparing them the outing they so richly deserve though just the dropping of the investigation makes clear this demand was going nowhere.
"After careful consideration of the facts in this case," she said in an email, "and to ensure the effective allocation of limited resources, the commissioner of competition decided to discontinue this inquiry."
The dropping of the "investigation" was done very quietly.
These included billboards from the Friends of Science Society featuring statements such as “Global Warming? Not for 18+ years!”(just a fact) and “The sun is the main driver of climate change.(just a fact) Not you. Not CO2.”
The Sun.. If we were just a little further from it, we'd have a never ending ice age.Disinfodesmogblog was more then happy to promote this PR stunt to his carbon cult- What else could one expect from a public relations outfit connected to Al Gore's carbon trading scam? One can draw a straight line ...From Al Gore's Investment Management to Desmog Blog If we want to talk about vested interests.. Yup, Canada, under ice..
