The Earth's environment and temperature fluctuates... everybody knows it fluctuates.

People who want to dip in to my paycheck to set up a government program to stop the fluctuation of Earth temperatures and climate are what I have a problem with.

1 volcano eruption like Mt St Hellens will product more CO2 than the entire industrial output of the US in a year. 1 slight change in solar activity (THE SUN, THE BIG THING THAT HEATS OUR SOLAR SYSTEM) does more to affect climate on Earth than all the industrial activity of mankind.

The people who tell you that man controls nature, are not only arrogant and uninformed, but also universally have an agenda to get some of our paychecks through force of government.

The Earth is so huge, a single nuke isn't even a blip on the radar. During the cold war, the US and Soviets were detonating dozens per year. A good volcanic eruption releases far more energy than a nuke. Ironically, volcanoes cool the earth by spewing reflective ash and aerosols.

The cataclysmic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was felt thousands of miles away and sent out tsunamis 120 feet high, killing more than 37,000 people. Scientists now realize the volcano's eruption influenced the oceans worldwide for 50 or more years afterward

In November, scientists led by John Church of CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, reported that Pinatubo's shadow of gases and dust took 3 billion trillion joules of heat energy out of the world's oceans and almost immediately dropped global sea level by 5 millimeters.


1991 Pinatubo Volcanic Eruption (Philippines)

3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules of heat energy removed from oceans (by reflecting sunlight)

50 megaton H-bomb energy yield

21,000,000,000,000,000 joules



Conclusion : moderate volcanic eruption cools the earth a MILLION times more than a high-yield H-Bomb heats it.

Climate changes based mainly on oceanic warming patterns are from changes in the "hydrologic cycle". Glaciers regress, fresh melt-water goes to the sea, and weather patterns change. Of course its happened in cycles since the Precambrian, but there werent any humans living in cities on the coasts, major deltas, or river valleys back then.

First of all the last 2 years have not been bad at all in Oklahoma. Now really sever tornado's like the one in 1999 or really, really bad ice storms like we've had in years past. As for Colorado and California "burning up" I like to blame the environmentalist who seem to think that clearing brush and undergrowth somehow hurt the environment and would prefer to see the whole thing burn along with the houses.

The atmosphere is basically composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. There is less than than 1% of trace gasses which includes CO2. Since CO2 is such a miniscule percentage of our atmosphere how the heck could it possibly affect the earth as a whole.

http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7a.html

The atmosphere is much more vast than the oceans. It would be absolutely profound if mankind could even change it a fraction of a percent.

The sun has changed the size of the martian polar caps in recent years. This is the smoking gun that the sun is behind any kind of measured global warming here on earth. The sun has cycles and this particular energy cycle peaked in the 90's. With the waning energy from the sun we will see cooler weather in the future.

I think the plan is actually bigger than that. IMO, the real plan is to make everyone bow down to the new god that is global warming in order to institute a socialist/communist state in America.

First, no more using fossil fuels. This means a lot less travel by everyone. It means less goods moving and less business being conducted. It means less manufacturing and even less farming.

But what about alternative forms of energy?

Development of alternative forms of energy is not economically feasible on a large scale by the private sector. Government then subsidizes the research and development putting them firmly in control of your energy useage. This sounds crazy at first but if you look at biodiesel from corn or hydrogen fuel for cars it is all being payed for or largely subsidized by the government.

Now, back to the reduced activity in the fields of manufacturing and farming. the factories are shut down, the farms are abandoned because they hurt our environment. Guess what, there is one group in the US that benefits from this... The DEMOCRATS!
The democrats LOVE for people to be dependent on the government for EVERYTHING.
If people can no longer afford to feed their families because the government shut the local factory they will have to turn to the government for everything they use to provide for themselves, and the party they will vote for will be the party that gives them the most "stuff".

Climate Change: Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical "consensus." Scientists worried about a new ice age seek funding to better observe something bigger than your SUV — the sun.

Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles.

To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better "eyes" with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth's climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined.

And they're worried about global cooling, not warming.

Kenneth Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada's National Research Council, is among those looking at the sun for evidence of an increase in sunspot activity.

Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century.

Such an event occurred in the 17th century. The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun, with little or no 11-year cycle.

This solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted, with intermittent spikes of warming, until 1715. Frigid winters and cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine and death in Northern Europe.

Tapping reports no change in the sun's magnetic field so far this cycle and warns that if the sun remains quiet for another year or two, it may indicate a repeat of that period of drastic cooling of the Earth, bringing massive snowfall and severe weather to the Northern Hemisphere.

Tapping oversees the operation of a 60-year-old radio telescope that he calls a "stethoscope for the sun." But he and his colleagues need better equipment.

In Canada, where radio-telescopic monitoring of the sun has been conducted since the end of World War II, a new instrument, the next-generation solar flux monitor, could measure the sun's emissions more rapidly and accurately.

As we have noted many times, perhaps the biggest impact on the Earth's climate over time has been the sun.

For instance, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar Research in Germany report the sun has been burning more brightly over the last 60 years, accounting for the 1 degree Celsius increase in Earth's temperature over the last 100 years.

R. Timothy Patterson, professor of geology and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center of Canada's Carleton University, says that "CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet's climate on long, medium and even short time scales."

Rather, he says, "I and the first-class scientists I work with are consistently finding excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the sun and earthly climate. This is not surprising. The sun and the stars are the ultimate source of energy on this planet."

Patterson, sharing Tapping's concern, says: "Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth."

"Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has had before, and it most likely will again," Patterson says. "If we were to have even a medium-sized solar minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than 'global warming' would have had."

In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov made some waves — and not a few enemies in the global warming "community" — by predicting that the sun would reach a peak of activity about three years from now, to be accompanied by "dramatic changes" in temperatures.

A Hoover Institution Study a few years back examined historical data and came to a similar conclusion.

"The effects of solar activity and volcanoes are impossible to miss. Temperatures fluctuated exactly as expected, and the pattern was so clear that, statistically, the odds of the correlation existing by chance were one in 100," according to Hoover fellow Bruce Berkowitz.

The study says that "try as we might, we simply could not find any relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption and changes in global temperatures."

The study concludes that if you shut down all the world's power plants and factories, "there would not be much effect on temperatures."

But if the sun shuts down, we've got a problem. It is the sun, not the Earth, that's hanging in the balance.
