The people who are trying to keep the AGW scam alive are the same kind of people who lost money to those Nigerian bank account scams and keep them alive on the net.

We used to have only correlation (Sallie Baliunas, et al.) but now we have both correlation and causation.

It's cool to be warm.

We had a Freeper who presented himself as an expert and backed AGW, haven't seen him around in many moons.......Can't remember his Freeper name.

Maybe he imploded also :^)

....."experiment called Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets (CLOUD). The team fills a custom-built chamber with ultrapure air and chemicals believed to seed clouds: water vapour, sulphur dioxide, ozone and ammonia..... They then bombard the chamber with protons from the same accelerator that feeds the Large Hadron Collider,...... the world’s most powerful particle smasher. .....As the synthetic cosmic rays stream in, the group carefully samples the artificial atmosphere to see what effect the rays are having.

Would love to hear from some scientist on what exactly in layman's terms this means specifically.

Behold, actual science.

I read an interview about four years ago with a European physicist who proposed this then. He was about 80 years old and extremely well-respected.

When he published his theory, the eurinal moonbats went after him with a vengence. They started claiming he was an instrument of the "oil industry" trying to discredit their pet theory. The basis for the charge was that he had once done research for the oil companies - back in 1968 or something!

He laughed at them, because he was old and really didn't give a crap what any of them said. He was a scientist with no political agenda, and was shocked that his theory was so controversial and his motives were being questioned.

I wish I could remember more about him or even the magazine where I read the article. It was a science magazine, like Discover or something.

I also doubt any of these actual scientists have several mansions and fly in private jets all the time like Al Gore and his fellow AGW believing “scientists” do.

If it wasn't for Global Warming or, if you prefer, Climate Change, there'd be no such thing as The Great Lakes, Niagra Falls, Glacier National Park, Yosemite National Park, etc.

All these beautiful works of art were created by advancing and retreating glaciers. Or, in other words, Climate Change.

[RasterMaster]

Didn't these Gorebull warming DUmmies ever pass 6th grade science class? We certainly know how they spent their college years....

"SEVEN YEARS OF COLLEGE DOWN THE DRAIN!"

I passed this article around of Facebook today, trying to start a war. My conservative associates jumped on merrily. The others ... not so much.

Even among the liberals, a dawning realization is hitting. They're starting to understand that AGW is a faith among them, not a science. They know it's true, but they can't prove it. Doesn't make them any less devout, but it makes them increasingly nervous to try and throw down with the 'science is settled' line like they used to. It's anything but.

The only thing that's for sure is their devotion to the church of Gaia. Which is fine, but they're learning that scaring people with crap research is a losing proselytization technique.

interesting.

[JennysCool]

C’mon, Ernest! You know the big bucks can’t be made from that whole “sun” thing. We have to stick with the “man made” meme or poor Al will feel bad and any number of “green” industries will collapse overnight! Have you no pity? ;-)

[matthew fuller]

Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear” 2004, thoroughly destroyed the AGW Fantasy.

[Steel Wolf]

Al Gore was just reading this article on TV. After several moments of careful, scientific consideration, he announced that the only safe course of action was to, "Nuke the sun. Nuke it like it owes us money. After we nuke the crap out of it, wait 10 minutes, then nuke it again."

Kinda harsh, but I think, deep down, we all know the sun has it coming...

I just saw a story about this on The 700 Club. I know that some on this board are critical of Pat Robertson and he does sometime say some "wacko" things, but I started watching his program years ago because of their news reports. They definitely cover news that you will not see on any other channel.

[Cincinatus]

This book describes the idea and how it might work:

Written for the layman and highly recommended.

[RayChuang88]

Anyone who has studied the sunspot cycle knows that the higher the sunspot count, the warmer the temperature on Earth. Does anyone remember the famous Maunder Minimum, when Earth went into a mini-Ice Age because the Sun had essentially very little sunspots between 1645 and 1715?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I built a cloud chamber as my 9th grade science project. Over 50 years ago. Got the plans from Scientific Experimenter magazine. Used Radium from an old watch hand as a “ray” source. Didn’t have enough time to build my own Small Hadron Collider! Cloud chambers have been around a long time.
