Beam me to Planet Gore !

Almost immaculate the Sun now glows,
And safe are radio and power grid.
The solar wind now only weakly blows;
From Northern Lights the night sky now is rid.
They say new doom now stalks, and voices rise
Proclaiming now the threat of death by ice.
Now free from heat our fearful eyes
Find killing cold the way to Paradise.
Ye know, daft men, we'll die one way or other.
Meantime, be men; love God; love one another.
Sorry, gang. The title "The silent Sun's uncertain course" just sounded like 4/5 of the first line of a sonnet. I couldn't help myself.
Although some people who are sceptical about the human influence on global warming like to emphasise the link between solar variability and climate, Prof Mayewski turns their argument on its head: “The fact that we are not in conditions like the little ice age today shows that the atmosphere is being perturbed by human activities,” he says.
If the Sun stays quiet for the next few years, it may temper the effects of man-made global warming for a while but most experts believe that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will eventually push temperatures higher again.
You see? Prof. Mayorski has turned their argument on its head... EVERYONE knows that global warming will come a hundred years in the future, but if the sun decreases it's output 0.1 percent, the mass ice age effect would be instant!
Argument turned on it's head!!!!
This propagandist author is pathetic, and highly overpaid, in my opinion
Oh, that sun!
I thought they were talking about the ceasing of publication of the NY Sun.
Sorry!
PS: Don’t worry. As long as Al Gore is alive, and the Democrats control Congress, we will have all the hot air we need to beat back any ice age.
New movie coming out soon: “Ice Age IV: The return of Al Gore”.
I know what you mean - I worked Jim SMith (VK9NS)
on 10M
SSB
a couple of years back. More amazing as Jim is a CW bug most all the time - but happened to be checking a rig for visitor.
Alaska to Norfolk Is, 10 meters....whodda thought?
With Gore cast as the hero who saves the world by making interminable speeches. It's a black comedy because as soon as the ice age is over, they rise up as one and kill him, stuffing the text of his speeches down his throat.
But the last couplet was spoze to hint at what I thought of the whole thing.
The Sun is a variable star with several different cycles and other variation.
But it is a remarkably stable star. We are only talking about variation that can affect Earth’s climate by 1.5C or so.
The Milakovitch cycles of Earth’s orbit by comparison can affect the climate by +1.5C to -6.0C.
A couple of points:
CO2 lags temperature by around 800 years or so. And what occurred around 800 years ago? Can you say Medieval Warm Period?
No, everybody does not know that CO2 comes after not before Global Warming, and that's a problem! You can tell some liberals the facts. Tell them they can look it up. They refuse! They do not want their precious bubble burst!

Beat me to it! LOL!
I guess we can blame it on Obama....
But algore says a change of 0.01 percent in CO2 levels is an enormous change that dooms the planet.
"When the Sun is very quiet, the amount of energy that reaches Earth is only 0.1 per cent less than when it is very active – a change too small to produce significant global cooling on its own.
"And that children is why for millions and millions of years the climate never varied and was never any different from what we had before SUV's were invented by evil conservatives who hate the earth and are mean to little rabbits and baby polar bears."
