He forgot to add that there have been no "groups" reported, and even most of the handful of sunspots they've reported are questionable ~ mini-sunspots at best, or maybe burbles or something ~ not the real stuff.
These people are so desperate they are now demanding we start believing in magical jetstreams full of sunspots.
My word! They are mad.
He said that when the jet streams reach 22 degrees then, a year later, we will see groups of sunspots.
I agree. This has all become insane.
>>>These people are so desperate they are now demanding we start believing in magical jetstreams full of sunspots.
You remind me of the global warming nuts with whom several years ago I tried to discuss the sunspot theory. The prediction at the time was that decreasing sunspot activity would reduce global temperatures. They too stuck their fingers in their ears and sneered at the magical sunspots.
Events showed they were wrong. Like them do you think you get extra points for snide comments about the scientific method ?
All I see in this story is a scientist made observations and based on this data makes a prediction. Events will show soon enough if he is or isn’t correct. If correct, fine. If not then the data on the jetstream is worthwhile by itself, but we’ll know the sunspot origin question still requires more work. That’s the normal procedure in general science, no magic required. Seriously what’s the problem with that?
It's easier to think of these people as "Gore-Scientist-lites" rather than as real "scientists". Keeps the world rational.
