Quick post for everybody info about climate predictions:
Full (VERY IMPRESSIVE !!!) graphics are at http://icecap.us/index.php
Note that we can't really even tell how long solar cycle 23 was (is) --- since it (cycle 23) has not yet "stopped" yet. At best, we are mired in the dead period between cycle 23 and 24.
Cycle 24 refuses to begin - Dr Hathawy of NASA has already changed his prediction four times. It was originally to have begun ramping up in late 2006.
-----
Note that the impending 53 trillion dollar democrat-debt for Medicare and Social Security becomes due in 2030 and 2050, but the democrats and their MSM are claiming that a (potential) 1/2 of one degree rise in temperatures by 2050 is immediate catastrophy that requires action this year!

If you took every internal combustion engine vehicle on earth and started them all simultaneously, then let them run for a whole year, nonstop, you could not match the the sun’s effect on the temperature of the earth for one minute...............

Does this mean I need to get more base layers before Obama takes office?

Another 8 to 10 inches of Global Warming here in New Hampshire today with temps below 20. Goshdarnitall, where are the December temps in the 70’s I was promised?

Thanks for the post. Today from spaceweather.com:
A great deal of grant money must be riding on this cycle considering the blitz on sunspot projections being made. Got cosmic radiation block?

This quiet sun is just awful for shortwave propagation.
The last couple of days, the bands have almost been dead.

How can this be? NOAA (I think) says it will be the hottest.
