I’ve often said the only way out is for algore to convince liberals to commit mass suicide because hey emit CO2 and need to save the planet...it’s their ONLY way out!

Dr. Kenneth Tapping is worried about the sun. Solar activity comes in regular cycles, but the latest one is refusing to start. Sunspots have all but vanished, and activity is suspiciously quiet. The last time this happened was 400 years ago -- and it signaled a solar event known as a "Maunder Minimum," along with the start of what we now call the "Little Ice Age."

Those of us into amateur radio know this as the "skip cycle", which occurrs every 11 years. It's already late in starting, and what few bursts of skip there have been haven't lasted very long. Skip is directly related to the solar cycle, ironically just like so-called "global warming" is .. LOL.

This could be series. But, you know, it is best to worry about things you can actually do something about if you have to worry about something.

Quick! Congress needs to get a global warming stimulus package together to stop the global cooling. We’ll issue a 1983 454 suburban to every man, woman and child in the country and pass a federal law that you have to drive at least 30 miles to work each way. If you live closer then that you have to circle the block first. All hybrid cars have to be taken to the landfill so they can be trashed.

I mean that would do it right?

Of course if the sun’s fire is going out, maybe we just need to shoot some fire wood or coal over there and get it going again.

Yes I do have an interest in Astronomy. I don’t think we will find out until March or April whether we are looking for a minimum like DAlton or Maunder. I have seen a recent photo that shows a reversed polarity sunspot in the Northern hemisphere of the sun (an x-ray photo)which should be the start of Cycle 24, but I am not sure we know if the cycle is going to be ordinary or whether it will be of reduced energy. Stay tuned.

“Anyone else other than me feel pretty dammed sad that the only people that seem to be speaking with some honesty and real research into climate change are the RUSSIANS?”

Well, they already have/had communism there so they dont need to lie about global warming to scare the sheeple into embracing socialism. Thats just for us.

AP......

In a study at Cornell by Dr Imaliar, it was found that when ionospheric ozone strips the oxygen molecules from the superabundant global warming causitive carbon dioxide, the left over charged carbon escaped and was attracted sunward. In the past 20 years these escaped carbon ions have been burned up by the sun and the resultant back draft reduced the sun spot activity.

Global warming has thus been shown to cause a reduction of Hyerdall sunspot activity.

It's +40 F today. My global warming residue is getting smaller. There is black asphalt visible on the street again (instead of buried under 6 inches of solid ice plus a few inches of snow). I didn't even need a jacket today.

I remember as a kid growing up in the 60's reading about the coming ice age in my Weekly Reader. Then we had years of global warming tripe. Now we are looking at another ice age again. IN ONE LIFETIME??????

Nobody knows. Everyone's full of sh*t.

The crisis is over. The cold snap ended today. It is only -20.

Great. Now you can make naked snow angels without getting too many cuts from sharp pieces of ice.

If this cooling happens, people will be burning more and more fossil fuels. Just think of all the CO2 released and what it will do to the planet!

Oh my, where is all that water going? I remember a series in the 1980s called “V”. The aliens were going to suck up all the water from our planet. Perhaps it’s really happening!

Algore = false prophet.

I live in Alaska, we have minus 70 temps hitting the state this week. However, not all that unusual this time of year.

Something doesn’t jibe with this new global cooling talk. I also live near quite a few large glaciers and every one of them are retreating not advancing. If its global cooling you would expect them to be advancing. Maybe they will, they just haven’t had time yet to reverse the trend and start the other way.
