True science always involves observation, testing, and hypothesis, and before we jump to any kind of conclusion on any scientific discovery or theory, let’s test the data, and over several years, see if there is a consensus on what is right or wrong. We will know in a couple years, when the sun is supposed to start coming out of its typical 11 year cycle of sun spot activity. starting at the end of 2008, whether it does or not, and by 2011, and the sun remains inactive cosmically and it is still unusually very cold in the winters in many countries and the upper atmosphere shows continued cooling, then, the premise that global cooling tied to sun spot activity can be made.

It’s good to see more people communicating what scientists communicate. Like those at the Natural Resource Stewardship project, whose website is http://www.nrsp.com

The Gorbachev Foundation established after the transfer of power to Yeltsin has been a major supporter of the environmental movement. The better to lure the West into “industrial suicide” in time for a restored Russian imperialism takes off.

If true, it’s very exciting that Dr. Svensmark’s “theory explains atmospheric temperature changes on every time scale against which it has been tested: on the annual timescale, on the decadal timescale, on the tricentennial timescale, on the millennial timescale, and on the time scale of paleontological epochs.”

I once wrote an essay on six motivations behind the Global Warming pocket-lining scam (to go with the UN’s prostitution rings et al) which none of my liberal friends took seriously. No. 6 was Freud’s “return of the repressed” (religious)content: “We’ve been bad. We are going to burn.” I just realized what No. 7 is: ordinary fear and ignorance.

The article ‘Dearth of Sunspot Activity to Herald New Ice’

This link feeds into a Microsoft Exchange Server, which means it is not publicly available, and those who can access it pay a tax to Microsoft to do so. If it is meant for general consumption, it should be placed where it can be reached directly with a Web browser and put in a format that does not require paying Microsoft.

If it is not meant for general consumption why is it cited?

A letter to the Belfast Telegraph, published on 2008 August 13th (link) has been picked up by other sites who give the impression that it represents the views of the Armagh Observatory. We do not know of any evidence based on Armagh observations (whether solar or meteorological) that predicts an imminent drop in global temperatures of two degrees C, nor do we know the author of the letter to the Belfast Telegraph. Peer-reviewed publications referring to the Observatory's climate data can be found at climate.arm.ac.uk. C.J. Butler, Emeritis Research Fellow H.M. Murphy, Computer Manager Armagh Observatory

The global warming crowd are just another manifestation of the eternal quest of the answer of socialism in search of a problem to which it is the answer. But have no fear—if we enter a little ice age—these people will have the answer, and it is always the same one. The fact that they have always been wrong in the past should never be taken against them. Never.

Svensmark’s is an excellent book. I recommend it along with “Unstoppable Global Warming: every 1500 years.”

But of course if you change the name of your pseudo-scientific observation from “global warming” to “climate change” who can gainsay you? One thing all must admit to is that the climate changes. There is only one reasonable response to that change in terms.

Stanley Kowalski in the film Streetcar Named Desire tells Blanche DuBois: “I dated this girl once. She said, ‘I am the glamorous type’. I said so what.”

Green is the new Red. Glad to see people are fighting back. No debate in science is ever over.
