 | The Sunspot Enigma: The Sun is “Dead”—What Does it Mean for Earth? Posted by C. Jeffery Small on 6/15, 7:27pm | |
| Will Al Gore now demand that we increase our carbon footprint? Here are a few interesting excerpts from the article: "Although periods of [sunspot] inactivity are normal for the sun, this current period has gone on much longer than usual and scientists are starting to worry — at least a little bit. [...] Today's sun is as inactive as it was two years ago, and solar physicists don’t have a clue as to why." "Tsuneta said solar physicists aren't weather forecasters and they can't predict the future. They do have the ability to observe, however, and they have observed a longer-than-normal period of solar inactivity. In the past, they observed that the sun once went 50 years without producing sunspots. That period coincided with a little ice age on Earth that lasted from 1650 to 1700. Coincidence? Some scientists say it was, but many worry that it wasn’t." "He [Geophysicist Phil Chapman] also noted that the world cooled quickly between January last year and January this year, by about 0.7C. "This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we were in 1930," Dr Chapman noted in The Australian recently. Hmmmm, does anyone remember this global temperature drop being reported in the mainstream press? | ||
