From The Emails 022508

New Ice Age

Hey folks,

Another one of those Fridays I do not know where to begin, or what Email to use. But after thinking about it, I am going to chose this one because I would have posted this had I seen it in the first place. The Sender said this.

"Did you see this?"

I have to admit that I did not. Then they said, "Very interesting." THAT it is.

Now I have been talking about the fact that there is NO consensus out there that Global Warming is even real, and that more and more Scientist are coming out against it. Forget what you hear on the TV News on a daily bases. This is not settled. As a matter of fact, a lot of Scientist are saying that we are not even STILL in a rise in temperatures. That is, the temperatures are not going up at even a degree in ten year pace.

Well, well, well. It seems that some are now even warning of a NEW Ice Age. {Sigh} Didn't we do that already, right before Global Warming? According to this from Fox News- Scientist: Forget Global Warming, Prepare for New Ice Age

Sunspot activity has not resumed up after hitting an 11-year low in March last year, raising fears that — far from warming — the globe is about to return to an Ice Age, says an Australian-American scientist.

Physicist Phil Chapman, the first native-born Australian to become an astronaut with NASA [he became an American citizen to join up, though he never went into space], said pictures from the U.S. Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) showed no spots on the sun.

He said the world cooled quickly between January last year and January this year, by about 0.7 degrees Centigrade.

"This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we were in 1930," Chapman wrote in The Australian Wednesday. "If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over."

[Critics quickly pointed out that Chapman may have been "cherry-picking" the data. A strong La Nina formation in the Pacific pushed down January temperatures over much of the Northern Hemisphere from where they had been a year earlier, but average global temperatures are still much higher than the 20th-century average, and the NOAA said last week that last month was the warmest March on record.]

Not true. Just like they cherry pick information that makes their point, without including ALL possibilities.

The Bureau of Meteorology says temperatures in Australia have been warmer than the 1960-90 average since the late 1970s, barring a couple of cooler years, and are now 0.3 degrees Centigrade higher than the long-term average.

A sunspot is a region on the sun that is cooler than the rest and appears dark.

An alternative theory of global warming is that a strong solar magnetic field, when there is plenty of sunspot activity, protects the Earth from cosmic rays, cutting cloud formation, but that when the field is weak — during low sunspot activity — the rays can penetrate into the lower atmosphere and cloud cover increases, cooling the surface.

But scientists from the U.S. National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Bolder, Colorado published a report in 2006 that showed the sun had a negligible effect on climate change.

Idiots. OF COURSE the Sun effects Climate. Any Kindergarten aged Scientist will tell you that.

The researchers wrote in the journal Nature that the sun's brightness varied by only 0.07 percent over 11-year sunspot cycles, and that that was far too little to account for the rise in temperatures since the Industrial Revolution.

Which is complete BS. We were hotter BEFORE the Industrial Revolution. then we were cooler. Hence the FIRST round of "Global Cooling" panic. Then we warmed. Not good new, now Global Warming. Now it seems that the tempts have STOPPED Warming. Now Global Cooling again? CYCLES! Natural, normal CYCLES.

Chapman proposes preventive, or delaying, moves to slow the cooling, such as bulldozing Siberian and Canadian snow to make it dirty and less reflective.

"My guess is that the odds are now at least 50:50 that we will see significant cooling rather than warming in coming decades," he writes.

50:50, {Laughing} Way to commit. Folks, there is no Man-Made Global Warming. It is all just a scam. There is no threat of us turning into a big ball of fire, nor is there any threat of us turning into a big Ice Cube. But since the temperatures have STOPPED rising, there is this massive push to legislate the funds to those that will get rich from it before even those Scientists that are making millions HAVE to say, "we were wrong."
