Sun's low magnetic activity may portend an ice age

[Night Hides Not]

Your fellow Texan clamors for global warming. After four years of college in Spokane, WA, and four more years of being stationed in Germany, I like global warming.

And I will continue saying that in the months of June-October.

Flux capacitor? Tinker toy.

I got my Oscillation Over-thruster at the ready.

Don't need no stinkin' solar flux...

[TommyDale]

Will carbon credits sink in value? Will the new buzz word become "carbon debits"?

[mylife]

Not me. I hate extreme heat.

[Bruinator]

“I’ve already bought my flux capacitor”

Is it ..... Fluxing?

[Bruinator]

Its the sun reacting to our fever, it is purposely going dim, so we can recover. All the while giving us a stern warning. Don’t stray again, clean up your atmosphere because nex time, I won’t go dim and you will all suffer. :)

[TommyDale]

Global Warming!!

"WE NEED A GLOBAL COOLING TAX. QUICK SOMEBODY GET ON THE HORN AND GET A HOLD OF SEN. MCCAIN"!.

We just have to inform Bill Clinton to hold off with slowing down our economy to save the world and have a future for our children.
On the other hand when those more severe and increasingly numerous hurricanes projected three years ago did not show up, this also got blamed on global warming.
Could it be that the sun also disregards signs of cooling and continues to spew out increasing amounts of heat?
Newsweek shortly might come with a follow-up why and how global warming caused those record snow falls in China and Palestine.

I don’t think my bulky body can get away with it :-)

PS: The purple one looks the best. ;-)

“I’ve already bought my flux capacitor”

I don't know how to crank it up. I bought it used from a guy who looks a lot like Rev. Jim on "Taxi",

but he never sent me the instructions like he said he would.

The ideologues of global warming never seem to take solar activity into consideration. Which is nutz, because we’re “in old Sol’s neighborhood.”

[betty boop]

p.s.: If the Sun sneezes, the Earth gets a cold.

[pgyanke]

Quick! Buy an SUV! It’s the only way to stave off global cooling... we have to conserve our warm air in an envelope of carbon emissions...!

The Dalton Minimum (DM) is a period of low sunspot activity extending from 1790’s until 1820’s. Sometimes it is described as lasting into the 1830’s.

My grandfather did the same thing on the Mississippi back then.

The Canadian Space Agency’s radio telescope has been reporting Flux Density Values so low they will mean a mini ice age if they continue.

Do I cancel the palm tree order I placed with the global warming scare?

[dbacks]

Women, children and minorities hardest hit.

I’m a bit math-challenged. The winter of 1812 was in the period from 1800 to 1810?

No, but the 1812 Overture is still available on CD, so you can play it any time.
