[T]he growing season was shortened by the coldest and gloomiest start to June since records have been kept.

Women, children hardest hit....

"So the long rumored Karl Rove anti-sunspot machine REALLY does work."

AAHAAHAA! The magnificent bastard has successfully twisted (spelt "wrung") the panties of global warmers!

[Camel Joe]

What about minorities?

The sun may be blowing up Gore and his zealots religion of global warming very soon. The so called 'experts' such as Hathaway and Hansen are already scrambling to explain why temps are cooling, and solar cycle 24 is on hold. Will be fun to watch, although up here in the north, not looking forward to colder temps.

Never underestimate the ability of these people to lie, there are trillions of $$ and a religion at stake. No matter how cold it gets they will just make up whatever numbers they need to in order to keep the AGW gravy train going

Just look at there numbers for JULY

[PeteB570]

That would not be very cool.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

It’s about to go nova!

You know, I'm beginning to think that wouldn't be such a bad thing after all is said and done.

Still, I'd be just as happy if this is the prelude to a new ice age.

Who cares about what Al Gore things? What does Jor-el think?

Who cares about what Al Gore things? What does Jor-el think?

Actually, Al Gore is the Anglicized spelling of Jor-el. When he fled to Earth, he changed his name to El Jor, and then his accent made it sound like, like ...

OK, look, the damned coffee maker is broken, all right? And I'm out of instant.

[SubMareener]

I love the way you named it the Gore/Hansen Minimum!

[bonnieblue4me]

Isn’t that the way life works?

[bonnieblue4me]

Have you tried Scope?

[bonnieblue4me]

You forgot ‘minorities’.

[Camel Joe]

Of course, minty fresh clouds of breath don’t cost as many carbon credits...

[Blueflag]

Just be careful what u wish for. Global cooling = less precip, of all kinds.

Global cooling is a bad thing en toto.

[norwaypinesavage]

"the [sunspot] effects are most important at certain latitudes and altitudes which control climate.....the relationship needs more study before we can understand it fully.

On the other hand, we can make firm conclusions about CO2 effects on climate with no data at all.

Regarding this news, and the obvious natural basis of the current “warming period”; when is it usually the “coldest” part of winter and the “hottest” part of summer? Answer, when the cold, or hot part of the cycle is peaking and the trend is beginning to move in the opposite direction.

We - humans on earth - have been in a centuries long “warming” period, and certainly, now, as that trend nears it’s end, it would seem “hotter and getting hotter”, than ever before (in OUR memories). Its the natural nature of cycles; not human activity.

It’s true that the sun is not a renewable energy source and it will eventually burn out. What we need to do is use an alternative biofuel that does not use up the suns energy, mushrooms come to mind.

You can pry my gun from my dehydrated cold dead hands.

Excellent thought. Mushrooms can be grown in a cave. They are however, a bit short on chlorophyll and they ferment poorly.
