“Quoting ‘psudoscience daily’ can be bad for your health... “
yeah, I know. But that’s the dirty job of freeping: to put out what’s out there so that other freepers can give their take on the news.
Cosmic Craze? What Cosmic Craze?......................
“the giant flaming orb in the sky”
Ya know,,,, it would save a lot of energy if they’d turn that thing off in the daytime!
Cosmic rays are too minuscule to create a warming trend but minuscule amounts of additional CO2 from humans is creating a warming trend without a doubt?
AND if they would turn it on at night! Then I wouldn't have to run the furnace as much.
Well we know it’s not carbon dioxide.
You are right. It is not cosmic rays by themselves; as the headline states.
The hypothesis is that the interaction of cosmic rays and solar wind affect cloud formation and earthly temperatures. As you stated, the variability (warming or cooling) is due to our sun.
The article talks of global warming during the last decades. But I don’t think there has been any global warming in the last ten years.
If we can’t get the Y (dependent variable) value right, why debate about the X (independent) variable?
>> Center for Climate and Environmental Research <<
IE: a think tank set up to create data to support global-warming lunacy. Otherwise it would be a Center for Atmosphetic Science, or something like that.
Actually, the term “cosmic rays” includes gamma emissions from the sun. But also see post #6.
Coming soon! A study on the effects of moonlight and global warming. (Hint:save the research money. Moonlight has no impact on Gorebull warming.)
Forgot to add, one must also factor in Volcanic activity to get through the noise in the data. Volcanic activity on land tends to cool the Earths surface. Volcanic activity under the ocean tends to warm the Earths surface. By Earths surface what is really meant is the Earths Oceans, where most of the heat content resides.
Hmmmn.
So, the research DID SHOW that higher levels of solar activity (22 times in those few years) measurably changed the cosmic ray flux.
Now, they claim found no change in cloud cover (in the southern hemisphere ocean regions at least).
But, these guys DID find changes in cosmic ray flux from a change in solar energy - NOT a change in solar “illumination - which what Hansen and his ilk keep repeating.
maybe somebody should tell the Center for Climate and Environmental Research that the entire solar system is warming, not just earth.

“Neptune’s moon, Triton, studied in 1989 after the unmanned Voyageur probe flew past, seems to have heated up significantly since then.....Even Pluto has warmed slightly in recent years, if you can call -230C instead of -233C “warmer.”
