"Could affect the solar system"??? Cripes. They're using weasel words and the conference ain't even started yet!!!
BTW Kate...where's the pic?

If they are going to the sun, they should go at night when it's not so hot.

Crap . Does this mean they're going to tax sunshine now ?

"The sun’s current state could result in changing conditions in the solar system." Could? Could? Cripes.The conference hasn't even started yet,and all ready they are using weasel words!!

John V....have you seen some of the outfits these nerds wear? Even at night the Sun isn't cool enough for them...heh

OMG....the glowball is the problem?....my bff SD is going to be so freaked....gotta go..

Fierce Elfin Person

Looks like the butterflies need to be killed, seems they affect the solar wind.
Damn butterflies.
For those in the know.

Someone forgot to turn off the northern lights?

Relax. Its my truck doing it.

I put a glass pack muffler on it, and now the airflow is sooooo good its sucking up all the solar wind and blowing out pure global warming concentrate.

By next fall you'll be able to plant palm trees in Ontario. All thanks to my truck.

Remember the ozone layer? How when we first observed it from space for a period of time, we thought it was disappearing. Turned out it was cyclical in nature. Dollars to donuts whatever is brought up will be a projected wild assed theory like the ozone layer hysteria, until they realize what there observing is natural.
Funding you know.

"This is unusual. A live media teleconference on the sun."
Doesn't that mean the panel and the journalists will be burned alive?

"If they are going to the sun, they should go at night when it's not so hot."

Day/night doesn't make much difference ... they should go in the middle of winter.

They will tax our guns they will tax our hamgurgers they will tax our SUVs they will tax our breathing they will tax our inhaling they will tax our exhaling they will tax the sunrise and tax the sunset they will tax the full moon and the last quarter they will tax our tiddleywinks and tax our eyes HE TAX AND SPEND DEMACREEPS ARE THE PARTY OF RICH SOCIALISTS SCUMBALLS SCREW GEORGE SOROS

Spurwing, Watch that blood pressure.

Lemmie guess... They're going to assert that the cooling of the solar-windus-minimus is going to offset the current global-warming-pannicus and that we don't have anything to worry about for at least the next 5 years...

Baby it's cold outside...

they're going to admit to a big swindle having taken place?

well it's as likely as an attack on the sun during either the night or during winter...

unless somehow Al Gore can be coxed into leading the mission.

Richard Evans: not quite. They're going to talk excitedly about how this moment of global cooling has given us a last, unexpected chance to deal with the "real" causes of global warming (i.e. wealth creation) before it's everlastingly too late.

In years to come they'll bemoan the fact that their "last chance" coincided with all this economic hardship that inured everyone to their arguments.

Where can I buy solar onsets now that AIG froze up?

Watch the stocks for Ray ban and Coppertone plummet along with Lennox and Frigidaire ;-)

..."unless Al gore can somehow be coaxed into leading the mission". Now that's a picture, Al Gore in a spacesuit heading towards the light!

Fat Albert in a spacesuit, special order for sure Liz, Nasa has a big budget but not big enough for his ego let alone his fat ass.

Watch out for "ASC": "anthropogenic solar cooling"... The data looks something like a hockey stick, with the rise just about the time man discovered fossil fuels. Because of our rate of depletion of fossil fuels, the earth is sucking all the solar energy out the sun to replace them at an unprecedented rate. ASC - its all our fault.

I caught the CBC spin on the 9.4% increase in surface area of the Artic ice pack: The second lowest artic ice count in recorded history with the lowest being last year. They do nothing to refute their previously broadcast outrageous fears that failed yet again to come to pass. The realization of how massive a 9.4% increase in ice area is blatantly ignored.

The climate lies are squeezed more than Florida oranges. It'll take icebergs in Tampa Bay and frozen juice harvests in the orange groves to finally shut-up these incessant myna bird purveyors of snake oil fear.

Like Kate says...Not waiting for the asteroid. The saddest thing is we pay for elitist agenda driven fifth estate.

"""" reveals the sun’s solar wind is at a 50-year low """"

I'v come to save the day, I have lots of extra wind to impart of those who feel in need, just ain't all that solar!!!!

Where can I buy solar onsets now that AIG froze up?

How many do you need ? My Nigerian business associates will contact you shortly via email .

A little science music,

Thomas Dolby - She blinded me with
Science

the sun WILL effect conditions in the solar system.

good approach

use sun energy transfer in location need more sun like transmisin lenses photo crom
by cut heat from Afican and add more heat in north pool
use garbage disposal go out of earth dumbing in Mara and Venus or moon
send water level fix by tranfer else weheb by cannel

sell water to counreis need good clean water

change habitat of animlas

send nucelar wast disposal in small satelti to space our of earth to move it to SUN to disolve it

take co2 to O2 by use spray ari freshner tell company who creas so much co2 to buit air freshnes\r machine tank too to disoble rithttehr excec co2
take care emiison test serisouly

chang car to elctrical car to reduce gas

drill the alsaka for more oil cautisly

-----
join all schienct and busienss group for devlopment togetehr as energy for stock market to made money out of it too

land change energy mine

NASA need to link with all sceince link to geter

as all politican think the best solutin to all work together to cut the crime and increase wealth nd balance ecnomic problems

scientise who do recetn reserach in master degree and phd and all enginner are need to work togeehr
we need one boss in top but we need so many manager and diretore to execute teh job one schientis creat it

that is big team work is now enviornment is link to every thing air water min and energry building busienss and economic and politic and so many to able to work not only talk evne when something made up need to market it and able to use new techonology
too change also bring so much risk involve

now we are conservaive let go to moon
now we are liberal bring them back fom moon and stop the project you can not made oN and off and keep change by keep chang teh directore and politican that is very risky some do that

food and food dispoal in green container and garabe dispoal bluse contaier

Nasa can do better job if they can open more out of earth to peope spacefor living and or dispose or use energy to them
that is interesting research but difficult too

Update from Anthony Watts:

"My first DOS attack"
{...]
"You know you’ve really “arrived” when you start getting DOS attacks that are content specific, I’ll wear it as a badge of honor, much like when newspaper and TV journalists get their first death threat for doing a story somebody doesn’t like. Some newsrooms order a cake with black frosting and skull and crossbones to celebrate. As a TV meteorologist, I never had a death threat over the weather, but I’ve been present to two in newsrooms that I recall."

step back from that pipe, glass pops at that high a temperature. You might lose an eye or something.

The sun has more to do with our climate then dose all our industries and SUVs so SCREW IT GREENPEACE GO TAKE A HIKE

Here's an interesting graph that Max Planck Institut in Germany has come up with.

Turns out the Sun has been wildly active in the past century. Note the spike in the data at the right hand side of the graph.
