His sister will provide the ice.
I wonder how many degees of shift would cause a two day change in Winter sunrise in Greenland? There must be some math wizard on FReepers that can give us an answer.
“1. The reference point, from which sunrise is determined, was moved. This is the most likely explanation for the sudden change.
2. There was a minor change in the elevation of the local earth’s crust. I’m not familiar with the tectonics of the town. “
I’m with you. I once did calculations on radar visibility- what can your radar detect given how high it is and how high the target is, over the curvature of the earth. I was surprised how sensitive thjis is. If you make your radar mast ten feet taller, you can detect a ship’s past over the horizon at much further ranges. and it works the other way too.
So if you move your observer up a bit, and then have a few feet of snow missing from your “horizon”, the sun can be seen at much lower angles (earlier).
If they used a fixed location and were using ocean horizon as reference, then I’d be concerned, but theis is Catastrophic Human-Caused Climate Change propaganda aimed at people who don’t have specific knowlege.
read the article again.

This is the gist of the problem, even though it uses ocean horizon. Imagine a bump where the sight line crosses the ocean, then take the bump away.
So they’re telling us the sky is falling?
The earthquake in Chile popped into my mind.
“Modern Phrenology”
Don’t forget rogoproctology - the divination of the future through the study of sphincter wrinkles.
Don’t ask me for any specifics on how they do it.
I am only aware of the study, not the master of it’s visual and tactile secrets.
It's all part of the laws of physics and of creation. I know progressives like to take advantage of a crisis, but pick one which does not take centuries to shift one measurable point from baseline.
What part of the article makes that ridiculous contention unridiculous?
A tagline worthy statement.
The sun didn’t “do” anything different.........
I think the best material would start from Chamberlain to date.
It really bothers me that no scientific scholars are coming out to discuss solar and universal points of interest coming up.
For instance, in the next 18 - 24 months we’re expected to cross into and over the galactic plane, something we’ve not done in millenia. The potential for unforeseen issues is there considering no one has been around to document and study the effects on the Earth due to changing magnetic and radiational exposures to whatever might be viewable during that transit.
We’re also long overdue for a polar shift (where north becomes south and vice versa). While the planet itself won’t flip, the shifting of the poles will be slow and anything exposed under the magnetospheric “dip” will be irradiated from the sun.
And let’s not forget the solar maximum is coming as well. The last time the solar max was around, we lost some satellites and terrestrial radio stations (in the 70s, I believe?).
I’m not a scientist, but I’ve read plenty of discussions on all of these things. Do your own research; something the real “scientists” are failing to do. Our lives are dictated by forces much larger than ourselves. To think that automobiles and hairspray are causing global issues is pure lunacy and ignorant of the fact that we’re just a big ball of iron careening around a giant ball of hydrogen in the vacuum of space.
Hey! You are injecting logic and reason into the Global Warming discussion. Al Gore does not approve!
I think it’s an improvement that they’re acknowledging that the sun might have something to do with warming.
Shhhh! Don't tell Obama. It might burst his narcissistic bubble. ;-)
LOL isn’t that what they teach in most graduate education and gay studies programs around the country?
Someone forgot to wind the master clock.
