Any good general physicists out there?
Just wondering, in terms of all the planets, and their mass, and there periods of rotation, can we calculate how that all sums up in terms of where the center of gravity is of the solar system, and how far it is from the suns true physical center, and how the sun’s average rotation around that center of gravity is?
I’m kinda sorta willing to bet that it’s eleven years...
Can’t find it in my Flammarion...
“Hey, I hope what they’re saying is true.”
I don’t, except to maybe prove the AGW crowd wrong. Cooling will be bad on the food crops, etc. However, I think our global economy is better suited to deal with it than we were 200 years ago. However, there will be a learning curve and time to adapt to the changes that many will suffer I am sure.
And, looking at the late start to this sunspot cycle I think they could be correct. Not to mention that we are in a warm period that is longer than any recent (well, in the last 20 million years) warm period before an ice age. The big ones - with over a mile of ice over my house type.
Read the comments at your link on Casey. Appears they are more pro Casey and are critical of the pdf article.
Okay, a father and son support Casey. Casey, in turn, has posted nice things on the son's blog. Yawn.
No one else posts anything, aside from a two line response by the blog owner and it's hardly supportive. No offense, but that's hardly overwhelming support.
Look, I happen to agree with Casey's arguments. Well, maybe not agree, but I consider them plausible, which is more than I can say about AGW theory.
I find Casey's press release where he's informed the White House, etc. of the findings of his "scientists" to be obnoxious, pretentious, and a rather complete turn-off. It's almost like something Leo-the-lame-brained-DiCaprio or Tim Robbins or George Clooney would issue, but without the celebrity.
If he would just try to inform without trying to pretend he's the head of some big think tank (and please donate) and someone with some kind of relationship with the country's political leaders, he would come across a lot better.
This is a classic case of the style of the communicator getting in the way of the message. He does not appear credible, which tarnishes his message. As one who would like to see more people consider the solar cycle theory, I find him irritating.
Given the responses on this thread, I think I've got company.
Oh, no, you know better than that.
As I told my mother in law -
after I told her that the data showed the earth was actually cooling, and she looked as if I’d just said that I shot her favorite puppy,
don’t worry, whether the earth is cooling or warming, the answer will ALWAYS be
Global Socialism, reduced lifestyle, stifling of capitalism, and increased control over the individual.
Note: from January.

You’d probably know better than I would.
