Svensmark: “global warming stopped and a cooling is beginning” – “enjoy global warming while it lasts”

Question: What could a climate scientist bring to the debate among physicists over the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth’s atmosphere? Answer: the coffee.

LOL!

I'm using that one in the liberal cesspool where I work!

Awesome Post

Please adjust the article’s date back to 2009. Good article, btw.

I remember reading about this back in the 1970’s.

Cosmic rays from the sun might play a key role in cloud formation
Unless I'm much mistaken, it’s not the cosmic rays from the sun that play a role in cloud formation. It is the high-energy galactic cosmic rays originate from outer space, not the sun. The solar wind from an active sun tends to block the high-energy galactic cosmic rays that form the nuclei of water droplets that form clouds. When the sun is less active there are more clouds and a cooler climate.

Climatologists. Sounds too much like cosmetologists.

I've been reading Svensmark's work for years, even paying beer money for science papers, because of an interest in the way solar cycles affect the incidence of cosmic rays.

I've rarely read the work of any scientist more cautious or exacting. Anyone with more than a Discovery Channel's knowledge of cosmology who has read his stuff reached their own conclusions.

Svalgaard's work is great, too.

This is why you should never let folks who prefer to look like they understand the science (instead of those unafraid to say 'I don't know') be in charge of who get's the money.

TPTB will never give up on regulating CO2 to mitigate global climate change. It allows them to much leverage to control every aspect of our life. (Just go here http://users.sisqtel.net/armstrng/agenda21.htm about 2/3 down the page to see how California liberals are using this to move people into densified urban areas and then to control them through layers and layers of regulation.)
