New proof that Global Warming is a myth!

[Guest]

Except that the answer lies in teh first paragraph of that second article you posted…

Researchers traced changes in our parent star’s energy output back to the 17th century and found that solar cycles, peaking nearly every 11 years, did not play a significant role in contributing to global warming.

The article I posted was not refering to the 11 year cycle, but a net overall increase independent of that 11 year cycle.

Note teh quote from the article I psoted…

The trend was measured between successive solar minima that occur approximately every 11 years.

Your article says the 11 year cycle is nto responsible for global warming.  Mine says that an increase independent of that cycle is occuring.  One does not preclude the other.

On time scales as short as several days, the TSI can vary by 0.2 percent due to the number and size of sunspots crossing the face of the Sun. That shift, said to be insignificant to weather, is however equal to the total amount of energy used by humans, globally, for a year, the researchers estimate.

Assuming that’s true, then how are we causing global warming?  If that 0.2% activity is equal to ALL the energy used by humans, globally, for an ENTIRE YEAR?

OK, time to change sides…

Global Warming is NOT the product of man’s used energy.  It is the change in atmosphereic compostion tha causes more of teh Suns energy to maintained on Earth intead of radiating back out into space.

The Venus Effect.

And the solution is……?

Um… reduce man made CO2 emissions?

I prefer to reduce incoming heat.

Good luck

go outside look up and blow, try to spread the idea.  :-D

And I thought I was drinking too much.

ill build a device to block out the sun! springfield will be in perpetual darkness!

You laugh, but NASA has a plan to deploy a fine “silver” (as in color, not mineral) net beween us and the Sun effectively reducing UVA/UVB radiation to such a degree as white people won’t get sunburned anymore. :)

Betcha that would also drop our temperature by, oh, how about 20 degrees on average?

Or we could outlaw heaters, fires and any other consumption of natural resources except automobiles. :)

They should just move the planet farther out of our present orbit. You know like they did in Space 1999 with the moon

[Jennifer]

Actually, that’s part of the problem.  Our orbit is not standard.  We fall towards the sun and pull away over time.

[Janus1]

well then the astronomers should just get together and decide on a fixed orbit

[Janus1]

You laugh

yes, and i continue to do so

Dude you’re right!
I forgot that our world was so simple :wink:

topical humor lost on anyone?

I’m all for buying up land in Alaska, then pumping Greenhouse Gases like crazy to turn it into a tropical paradise!
