Finally, a Democrat that understands what is happening! Check this link. Moonbats with their ignorance on parade.

he blames sunspots?

no

its the coming ice age dude

We don' need no steenking sunspots!

Actually, the lack of spots points to an increase on incoming cosmic radiation....which causes more cloudiness at high latitudes and....shazammm! Colder weather!

The program with comprehension here is a paradigm problem which arises from the general idea that stars are thermonuclear engines; if a star actually were a thermonuclear engine there would be no real reason to think it would heat up and cool off at odd times. Stars are basically plasma physics phenomena i.e. focal points of cosmic discharge. As they travel through regions of space with greater or lesser potential difference from themselves, they heat up and cool off.

Send Al Gore a Telescope with a Sun filter, a gun and a bullet....maybe he will make the honorable choice (some assembly required).

I've been worried sick that the sun might run out of spots.

If only we had been more careful few years ago, back when we all had those huge photon footprints...

[eyedigress]

You want al gore to shoot the sun? :^)

[Post Toasties]

Sounds like stars are actually both.

[garyhope]

No, it’s Bush’s fault.

[ConservativeMind]

Ping of interest. :-)

[Post Toasties]

Why doesn’t somebody hunt up alarmist envirowhacko Mark Lynas and get his comments on articles like this? I remember all his crap (and Gore’s) from a couple years back about climatic ‘tipping points’ and similar idiot BS.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Didn’t Al THE WHORE gore predict this as well? Damn gas engines are ruining the sun!

[w1andsodidwe]

But, I thought human activity controlled the weather. How can he be that sun spots also are allowed a modicum of control? I had assumed that the cooling was caused by all the hard work we have been going to by living green and recycling, and keeping our carbon footprints small and now I find it is all for naught. I might as well just throw away the orange peels instead of composting and go sightseeing in my car.

Just gonna live recklessly from now on. Why if I ever get married I may require rice to be thrown at me. No more bubbles or bird seed. I no longer believe I am responsible for every bad thing in the environment.

paging El Gore... paging El Gore..

[1010RD]

I want to believe you. Don’t you have a link or something?

[1010RD]

70 degrees is just our politicians mouths blathering on. If the sunspots were out, it would be in the 90s.
