Sun Spots: Not So Much.

From
Daily Tech



For the first time in a hunner't years, there have been no sunspots for more than a month. Global Warming alarmists will surely fail to take note of "just words" like:

"According to Watts, the effect of sunspots on TSI (total solar irradiance) is negligible, but the reduction in the solar magnetosphere affects cloud formation here on Earth, which in turn modulates climate." (emphasis mine)

and

"Last year Svensmark's "SKY" experiment claimed to have proven that galactic cosmic rays -- which the sun's magnetic field partially shields the Earth from -- increase the formation of molecular clusters that promote cloud growth. Svensmark, who recently published a book on the theory, says the relationship is a larger factor in climate change than greenhouse gases." (emphasis mine, again)

Now, correlation is not causation (which won't shut Al Gore up for a second), but let's have a peek at a recent trend:


The end of a solar cycle, with the forecast number of spots being revised downward. Fewer sunspots are expected. Are you still with me?



The Maunder and Dalton Minima are associated with "little ice ages", with crop-damageing, famine-inducing COLD.

Global Warming believers: are you paying attention yet? It's not my SUV OR Al Gore's private jet, it's the SUN that heats our planet. When it backs off, you may want to consider investing in a winter clothing company.
