Looks like the scientists are continually surprised by the lack of solar activity continuing to come in under their estimates.

Everyone has to see this, and also they’ve gotta show everyone they know, too...

It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...


The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3635222/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
[this is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size...]

It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.

Also, see it online here...
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php
[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course...]

Buy it here...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WLUXZE
[this one would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...]

Also, in split parts on YouTube...

Their last predictions were inaccurate.

So what do they do? They make more predictions.

Sounds like science is a lot like government.

Aren’t these the same folks who told us where humans come from?

"It turns out that none of the models were really correct,"

Big of them to admit it.

Does this mean we don’t have to paint our roofs white?

This means invest in blankets and insulation. It’s gonna get real cold.

It seems to me that modelling the sun’s activity should be much simpler than modelling the earth’s atmosphere, as there are many fewer variables. And yet we can’t model the sun properly either....

Makes me real optimistic about climate change modelling....

Yeah, but the difference between a scientist and a politician is that the scientist concedes there is room for error in his prediction. Politicians are never wrong, apparently.

What they’re not admitting is that the people they refused to consider were correct.

Climate change modelling just makes the modelers assertions look more scientific. But I’d disagree with the assertion that there are many fewer variables. I’d say that we know less about what variables there are.

The sun is actually a very dynamic and complicated thing. It is not some simple blob of nuclear fire in the sky that never changes in unpredictable ways. And we can observe may things on the earth first-hand. No one can go to the sun and observe the "weather." After this new solar cycle has run its course, a lot of textbooks on astrophysics will be revised. Scientists will know more about how stars work. This knowledge could save lives. If we knew we were headed for another mini ice age event, we might be able to do some things to prepare for it although we could not come close to completely preparing for it.

Peak of the last solar cycle I worked Norfolk Island,

on 10m

SSB.

Even I was surprised.....

The ancient Sun Worshipers forgot more than these bozo’s know.

I say it’s time for a good blood sacrifice.

Competing models of the solar cycle produced different forecasts, and researchers were eager for the sun to reveal which was correct.

"It turns out that none of the models were really correct," says Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. NASA's lead representative on the panel. "The sun is behaving in an unexpected and very interesting way."

LOL! Now THERE'S an "Inconvenient Truth"!

People should note the “Maunder Minimum” and use that in comparison to anything that they think is going on today...

Maunder Minimum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunder_minimum

And this...


Deep Solar Minimum

An item on SpaceWeather.com speculates that 2009 could match 1913 as the blankest year of the past century.

The report posted March 22, 2009 says

Where have all the sunspots gone? As of yesterday, March 21st, the sun has been blank on 85% of the days of 2009. If this rate of spotlessness continues through the end of the year, 2009 will match 1913 as the blankest year of the past century.

A flurry of new-cycle sunspots in Oct. 2008 prompted some observers to declare that solar minimum was ending, but since then the calm has returned.

We are still in the pits of a deep solar minimum.

[ http://www.southgatearc.org/news/march2009/deep_solar_minimum.htm ]


So, if we even approach a Maunder Minimum, we’re in for a lot of cold, cold winters, and certainly not all this stuff that the AGW people (Anthropogenic Global Warming) talk about... :-)

IN FACT..., it’s sort of like “someone” has created this very low sunspot cycle to demonstrate the cooling it produces, in order to “put the lie” to the AGW people... LOL...
