Apparently, the magnetic shifts in the Sun mimic those that occurred during the mini-Ice Ages of the 17th century, reports the Japanese Astronomical society. They also claim that this is the reason for the "halting" in the progress of global warming. Basically the sun's magnetic field has shifted from a straight N-S configuration -
to a N-Equator Equator-S, 4 pole configuration
This supposedly occurred during the 17/18th century and was responsible for the mini Ice Age.
Cool, if true.
The sun doesn’t have a simple north south magnetic pole. It has literally hundreds of constantly shifting poles.
The upshot is that the warmingistas are gonna seize on this report and declare that AGW is still alive and well and will return in spades once this phenomena fades. I see it now: “Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security! We will abandon our efforts at the peril of future generations!”
>>It has literally hundreds of constantly shifting poles.
Kind of like Warsaw.
You do not understand. As a Dr of Cretinology Grad from the Al Gore School of advanced idiocy (located in a dumbsteer adjacent to the Gore mansion), I state without doubt that you morons have it backwards...global warming caused the sun’s magnetic field to go into a phase of self-oscillation that will quickly result in the earth warming at a rate of 1 degree per hour.
We’re doomed, we’re doomed.
And any doubters must be stupid.
I have spoken!

Sun had a big solar flare a couple of days ago. Video here:

I need a grant to study this.
Lest you think this is a joke, be advised that many AGWish professors have been studying, at tremendous expense, how to turn the oceans into the a "carbon trap," thereby reducing the carbon in the atmosphere and stopping or reversing the man-induced warming.
That includes my former graduate school advisor, once a very respectable scientist. Hundreds of thousands per year, several graduate students, and a budget that allows him to galavant around the globe to all the Global Warming technical conferences.
How did they determine the Sun’s magnetic poles in the 17th century?
So who was it that was tracking the sun's magnetic shifts in the 17th century?
Now that’s funny!
Stop looking behind the curtain!
“Stop looking behind the curtain!”
I just finished my paper on 15th century shark migration off West Africa, and so I’m looking for another research project, and a grant. And a line-item carveout, with travel plus per diem. Life is tough.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t kidding. You can’t laugh at this stuff — way too many morons chasing dollars in the name of ‘science’ with the intent on suppressing capitalism... especially ours.
Beware of shifty Poles.
That’s just what I was saying the other day.
They did a lot of stuff in the Edo period.

Times were odd then. If you examine the ink prints from that time, several oddities are noteworthy.
1) Lots o’ demons. Yep, up to their eyebrows in demons of all varieties. Often recognizable because they had their tongues sticking out.
2) Enormous genitalia. Both men and women had genitals about 10 times larger than modern men and women. It is not known why.
3) Tea ceremonies. Often lasting for years, this was preferential as something, anything other than just listening to the continual rain.
