The cover of the Aug.13, 2007, issue of Newsweek sports a very active sun with the title "Global Warming is a Hoax." But the cover story is not about how the man-caused global warming hysteria is a hoax. Oh, no, it is just the opposite. It is a diatribe about how those who are skeptical about man's influence on climate are denying the truth and are undermining true science.

I have no doubt in my mind that us humans are contributing to global warming (AGW). The problem is that, so far, AGW has been “scientifically proven” to be a significant and growing contributor to global warming only by the rants of politically correct global warming alarmists as opposed to by the consistent results of repeatable, scientific-method based experiments.
This was originally written by someone who was annoyed by "Good Times" Virus hoax emails flooding his inbox.
I changed "Good Times" to "Global Warming."
LISTEN UP!
Global warming will ease your hard drive. Not the data, but your actual hard drive! Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.
It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.
Global warming will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card.
It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Global warming, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.
It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
Global warming will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.
Listen to me. Global warming does not exist.
It cannot do anything to you. But I can. I am sending this message to everyone in the world. Tell your friends, tell your family. If anyone else bothers me with fearmongering concerning Global warming, I will turn hating them into a religion. I will do things to them that would make a horsehead in your bed look like Easter Sunday brunch.

And I have no doubt in my mind that you are absolutely wrong.
Is the human race a part of Nature or apart from Nature?
2205 should be 2005.
Lies, dity lies and more lies..
dity” = Dirty lies. I want to gag every time I hear someone defend that tired old rant and if someone gives us ammo against it, good.
Not sure if I want to go with global governance as the reason for the spread of the myth however. I think it is spreading because peaople love to be part of the Chicken Little Society.
If one does any serious research into the dogma of the international leftist religion of man caused global warming,one will find that this fraudulent faith bears a striking resemblence to the doctrine of that other phoney Church called Scientology.
Their methods of crushing even empiracaly proven points of dissent are identical—”we have both our consensus and agenda,more facts are unecessary and those with opposing views are outliers fit only to be shunned.”
Both religions are very good at brainwashing public figures as well.Scientology sickens the minds of entertainers while the Church of Climate Change corrupts the brains of politicians.
Well,at least when the socialist environmentalist extremists take over we will green gulags.
Apparently Newsweek is suggesting (that subtle, "nuanced" form of journalizm) that the sun takes it personally when global warming is denied and gets substantially hotter in retaliation for the snub.
nice rant. the devil is consistent, that’s for sure.
The Sun's Great Conveyor Belt has slowed to a record-low crawl, according to research by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. "It's off the bottom of the charts," he says. "This has important repercussions for future solar activity...."
"Normally, the conveyor belt moves about 1 meter per second—walking pace," says Hathaway. "That's how it has been since the late 19th century." In recent years, however, the belt has decelerated to 0.75 m/s in the north and 0.35 m/s in the south. "We've never seen speeds so low."
According to theory and observation, the speed of the belt foretells the intensity of sunspot activity ~20 years in the future. A slow belt means lower solar activity; a fast belt means stronger activity.
"The slowdown we see now means that Solar Cycle 25, peaking around the year 2022, could be one of the weakest in centuries," says Hathaway.
Using historical sunspot records, Hathaway has succeeded in clocking the conveyor belt as far back as 1890. The numbers are compelling: For more than a century, "the speed of the belt has been a good predictor of future solar activity."
If the trend holds, Solar Cycle 25 in 2022 could be, like the belt itself, "off the bottom of the charts."
