We're DOOMED, DOOMED.

Bush's fault.

I'm sure the only way to fix this is to raise taxes, and probably outlaw guns - for the children, of course.

Shrinkage, caused by cooling.

And we could not have anticipated this?

40 is the new 20;

Brown is the new Black;

"Upper Atmosphere Shrinkage" is the new Global Warming...

liberals are so magical...they just deem things to be...and they are.

VERY odd! That was about the thermosphere.

NASA: Ionosphere not where it should be [Dec 17, 2008]
The U.S. space agency says it has discovered the boundary between the Earth’s upper atmosphere and space has moved to extraordinarily low altitudes. ....
But the first discovery was that the ionosphere was not where it had been expected to be. During the first months of the satellite’s operations, the transition between the ionosphere and space was found to be at about 260 miles altitude during the nighttime, barely rising above 500 miles during the day. Those altitudes, said NASA, were extraordinarily low compared with the more typical values of 400 miles during the nighttime and 600 miles during the day.

They said earlier that global warming was supposed to first heat the mid and upper atmosphere and cause it to expand.

Now they claim it is suppose to cool it and cause it to shrink...

It must be great to have a theory that always fits the current observed conditions... No matter which way they go...

I don't know if it is related but there is strange lightning and thunder.

I woke up last night and saw really bright lightning flashes but the thunder was a long time in coming.

So I opened the window blind and saw the lightning was striking high across the sky overhead instead of coming down and then the thunder took a while to be heard but was roaring for a long time.

I told my wife “that is Weird” but she was sleeping like a log as usual.

Now it has started again and I saw it shoot across the sky with the same type of thunder.

An upper layer of Earth's atmosphere recently shrank so much that researchers are at a loss to adequately explain it, NASA said on Thursday.

Just a WAG but *maybe* that HUGH Super Gamma Ray Burst we got hit with about a week ago has just a teeny thing to do with it.

The GRB was so massive it shut down the sensors and computer that monitors GRBs. And the GRB data was so large the 'scientists' (people who smoke pipes and wear Lab Coats) thought at first it was a sensor error, or 'glitch' (technical term). BUT, if that GRB had hit us directly we wouldn't be here now.

The GRB was from a Star that went Super Nova 5 Billion years ago. So there 'could' be one coming at us now - and we'll never know it. We'll just all die. Kind of like the Dinosaurs.

Oh well, now off to read some really depressing news.

Scientists baffled [...]

So, what's your point?

"Bush's fault."

Nah. It's obviously another effect of the BP spill. Along with the "methalyne chloride" containing oil.

The collapse occurred during what’s known as a “solar minimum” from 2007 to 2009, during which the sun plunged into an unprecedented low of inactivity. Sun spots were scarce and solar flares were nonexistent, NASA reported.

Still, the collapse of the thermosphere was bigger than the sun’s activity alone can explain.

Emmert suggests that the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide making its way into the upper atmosphere might have played a role in the anomaly.


Another unexpected occurrence. What is funny is how they recognize the solar minimum was unprecedented...so they don’t expected and unprecedented collapse of the thermosphere?

Me thinks these scientists need to check their models and their premise regarding the effects of the sun. The CO2 thing is just a distraction from what is really happening right in front of our eyes. LOL.

It is abundantly clear that trying to fit 10lbs of BS into their 2lb bag isn’t working.
