GGG Ping.
“Hey! Global Warming wackos! Give it up! That game is over, man!”
You beat me to it.
Last night on coast to coast there was a nutcase who claimed that all the mountains we see were created in about five minutes.
So “global warming” happened before, yet we’re here. Even southern real estate interests will survive, if they are willing to do a little real work on the side. ;-)
My first one (for me ONLY), LOL. (Dad got tired of me tangling his Shakespears)
“Last night on coast to coast there was a nutcase who claimed that all the mountains we see were created in about five minutes”.
Bam! Mountanes!
LOL.
God can do that.
Why would God create things in fits and spurts to confuse and confound us when it would make more sense to set up a self consistent system of natural processes that tell his story of infinite wisdom with their beautiful simplicity?
In a related story, there were some satellite photos of the supposed remains of Noah’s Ark in the Turkish mountains. Sure looked like an alpine terminal moraine to me, but hey, that’s just me...

Scotch?
Looks like a stinky to me.
It’s Bush’s Fault!
Note the sentence:
“That record is unique in that it seems to preserve a time of warmer temperatures called the Medieval Warm Period that happened before the Little Ice Age. “
The Little Ice Age corresponds to a period of unusually low sunspot activity called the Maunder Minimum [1], during which famines were caused by late frosts that killed food crops in New England and Europe. The point that caught my eye was that, according to this new climate record, it was overly warm just prior to that period. In the past few years, it has been warmer than normal, and just last week, it was announced that the normal cycle of sunspots has not started up, and another story in the Daily Tech[2] has a headline of “Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling” and the lede of: “Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming”.
My question: does this hint that we are headed for a similar perturbation in climate? If the sunspots don’t start up, the earth will be cooler, much cooler. If the sunspots follow the same pattern as they did in the Maunder Minimum, then we can expect the weather to also follow the same pattern: frosts, snow in July, crop failure and famine.
And this disaster cannot possibly be Bush’s fault! If the sun gives hints this is true, than it won’t be long before news sources that track sunspots will be more popular and easier to find on the net. For now, you can look at the web site of NASA’s SOHO [3]. The last solar image posted showed ZERO spots. [4]
