If Obama had a sun ...

[spokeshave]

Not to worry....

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Algore says, “Pay no attention to the giant flaming ball in the sky. It has no impact on weather or climate.”

but, but Manbearpig told me we’ll all fry to death...

“Maunder Minimum”

[Drango]

Can’t the UN join forces with Al Gore and just forbid it?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Can’t Algore do something about this?

While the researchers in the US said the data showed a decline in activity, they had no way to predict what that might mean for the future

But computer models based on a theory its own creator disavowed are super reliable predictors.

A Ice Age even a mini one is reason for serious worry in ways that Global Warming never could be.

Shorter growing seasons, more fuel required in winter months, less tillable land.

Malnourished people get sick easily, you have epidemics.

Last time we lost between 20% and 40% of the population. This time it could be much worse.

Let’s just hope that thing doesn’t kill us.

So moving to the Philippines could be a good thing.
It might end up in the temperate zone.

No problem. All we need to do is reverse the measures that the IPCC tells us slows down AGW (go back to driving bigger cars and SUVs, massively increase carbon footprints everywhere, let the developing countries develop, encourage pedal to the metal capitalism globally, etc) and voila! enough warming to mitigate the cool down.

Win-Win for all, right? Even that poor polar bear sitting on the broken piece of ice, begging us to stop the warming, will be grinning ear to ear for the TIME magazine photographers.

This controlling the climate thingy is a snap.

[Hardraade]

Oh. I thought you meant the tabloid...

[bigbob]

Uh...no. Slow news day at the Irish Times?

A bit of research would have disclosed the past 400 year trend in solar activity which looks like this:

Now, if they are saying we're in for a repeat of the Maunder Minimum, they'd better have more than a few pathological liar "climate scientists" to back it up.

Sun’s bizarre activity may trigger another ice age

Quick, drive more electric cars!

[JT Hatter]

We need to pump up as much CO2 as we can as fast as we can.

And that still won’t help.

[Cyber Liberty]

Only one thing to do. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, boys...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Barry and his ‘RATS are going to have all of us living in caves again pretty soon so another ice age would make it like some kind of cool “retro” thing. Clone a few wooly mammoths and we’ll be in good shape.
