That glowing ball in the sky known to burn human skin through extended exposure can actually influence the climate?
A study from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland looking at climate data over the past century has concluded that solar variation has made a significant impact on the Earth’s climate. The report concludes that evidence for climate changes based on solar radiation can be traced back as far as the Industrial Revolution.
Past research has shown that the sun goes through eleven year cycles. At the cycle’s peak, solar activity occurring near sunspots is particularly intense, basking the Earth in solar heat. According to Robert Cahalan, a climatologist at the Goddard Space Flight Center,
I know. I found it hard to believe, too.
Fire ball hot!
Give back the money, Gore.
There’s alot shown here too:

This is whole Global Warming/Climate Change thing is getting rather tiring, but I know that as soon as it disappears from the headlines we will be in for another Y2K or everybody-will-have-aids-in-a-year or whatever elso some nut job dreams up.
It gives us day and night too.
In related news, night causes dark, and gravity causes falls.
Film at 11, 12, 1, 2 – oh hell, it’s available 24/7 on youtube.
Must be a few years ago now I predicted this, when I stated here on this board that the sun was an uncontrolled burn, but thank God it was there, and at the time I thought the thermostat was in either Balzac or Biggar. I only said that to send lefties on a loser hunt looking for that thermostat. Hard to believe that all these highly paid so called smart people finally made this connection, kind of like if Ignatieff connected a deficit with more money paid out for EI. That would not make the CBC, but Iggys threats to take his ball and go home, Well that’s NEWS here in Turdopia.
Y2K, Climate Change, Swine Flu, and the like are very useful in programming responses in the population. When the real disaster hits, it will be ignored. The boy (media) who cried wolf.
Live by the thermometer, die by the thermometer.
“Skeptics, though, argue that there’s little hard evidence of a solar hand in recent climate changes.”
These same skeptics, if pushed for definitive observations, would also argue that the sun did not rise in the east this morning (it rose in the east-northeast at this latitude), the day was not 24 hours long today (it was 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds), and they were not conceived (they were born under a rock). So there!!!
Given enough time they will also probably observe that there are no small-dead-animals, only large-live-sunburned-liberals.
“Skeptics (solar influence deniers), though, argue that there’s little hard evidence”
Since when did lack of ‘hard evidence’ stop them?
“Black holes” are mentioned/illustrated; but, not AGW.
The Gaia “gap” is widening into an abyss for AGW.
The AGW idol has fallen.

“Breakfast lessons for MPs bridge science, political gap
It’s breakfast time on Parliament Hill, and Victoria Kaspi, a high-energy astrophysicist from McGill University, is using her body to illustrate Earth, our galaxy, and black holes.(sic)”

What can we do about these gravity related falls! Won’t SOMEBODY think of the CHILDREN injured by this terrible scourge!
You believe it, Hansen still doesn’t.
Jerry Lee Lewis would be impressed.

It’s the other way around. Global climate controls the sun’s behavior. When global warming peaks it creates sun spots and solar flares. Climate Change on the other hand has the devastating effect of making the sun less active. Something has to be done, there’s not much time left. The sea water is already up to my ankles and I live on the prairies. Only higher taxes can save us. The science is settled.
The delicious irony is that the stupified children coming off the public education assembly line – the very education system wrought and sculpted by our “professional” journalists, have no appetite for reading – and that includes newspapers and magazines without pictures. Television “news” is boring because it lacks a beat and saucy lyrics. Habitual consumption of the MSM “product” has been killed.
After real life bangs the younger people around a bit, they finally want information and are ready to use it – where do they turn? To the “professional” journalists? I think not. Their information tabs are opened next to youtube, google, their own blog spaces…
IPCC, um, thinking…thinking, ah ha! FAIL!
I can’t wait for the study that concludes increased CO2 in the atmosphere stimulates plant growth, resulting in bigger plants, bigger harvests, faster growth and regrowth of forests, and more.
Are you telling me the reason its warm by day and cooler by night, and cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and now warmer some years than others,
is because of the Sun?
That’s just crazy talk!
Nonsense, this is pure witchcraft you heretic! Where is Bucky the Beavers response to this?
New research my ass.
For the lack of better sources here’s at least a snippet of the works by Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevski: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Chizhevsky
Long before NASA was founded.
Next you’ll tell us that the Sun is at the center of the solar system, rather than the Progressive Left.
Sheesh.
Rather than Toronto, Biff! +1
I can’t wait for the inevitable “I never believed any of it”
that you will get from all the people that have been preaching GW for the last 5 years.
The latest science is stettled rant from Rommbots is the science says that this year will have a strong EL Nino which will send the Global Temp into uncharted waters using the unfallible predictive science of NOAA. Same prediction was made for last year by NASA’s Hansen and another La Nina happened instead so like the NASA solar predictions this has been pushed back in the hope that at some point it happens.
They are all so confused by the fact that Natural Variation which had been eliminated from their theory was affecting the temperature they are actually cheering for it to help them now.
This is science? This is like playing the the same lottery numbers forever because “they will eventually come out”.
According to the scienctific method, the AGW theory is WRONG. Period. Back to the drawing board. Why has the left, the believers of Science and its restoration to its rightful place, abandoned their beliefs?
In another departure from reality…
Recently there was a Huffington Post blog comparing the demise of Krypton in the Superman Saga to Climate Change. The problem is that Krypton was a planet RULED BY A COUNCIL OF SCIENTISTS who had formed a CONCENSUS opinion that they were not in Danger from the Planet’s Core exploding and Superman’s Father was the ridiculed DENIER.
It was a play on “it only takes one person to prove a scientific theory wrong”
The lesson in the Superman story was a pure commentary on the dangers of CONCENSUS BASED SCIENCE ruling a SOCIETY. Even when trying to make a point they get it wrong because they do not understand the Nature of the Science which they promote.
This information has been known for years. Is NASA still operation in 1988 mode?
Don’t bother me with such nonsense. I’m busy painting my roof white.
“The report concludes that evidence for climate changes based on solar radiation can be traced back as far as the Industrial Revolution.“
Before that it was Ektar Egrot of Mizar 5 and his all powerful star ship that was controlling our climate. Parked in orbit around the earth for thousands of years before moving on to more interesting planets he had great fun making us hot then cold, then hot, then cold.
It can’t be the sun–there’s no way to blame humans for that, and no cause to raise taxes to fix it!
No way the sun has any effect. The lack of sunspots has absolutely nothing to do with the forecasted snow in Calgary for June 6.. or the incredible freezing so called spring we have had.
In the world of global cooling, Canada is the canary in the coal mine.. I am keeping my eye open for glacial advance!!
Have any of you heard of Dark-Suckers. It’s a theory that electric bulbs don’t emit light but rather suck dark, and so once they are full of dark they can no longer suck. Maybe this is how our sun works; I’ll need to give this some more thought. Dale…
“Dark Suckers”? Don’t they have those in the White House?
You can see how dark-suckers works in well with sun spots. When the sun goes through a period of sucking really hard it takes in too much dark all at once and so it gets (dark) sun spots on its surface. It’s just a theory of course.
Well nature is screwed up in some way, it’s too hot in Vancouver and too cold in Medicine Hat.
I blame all those windmills.
“Basking the Earth in solar heat” should qualify the writer for a prize for bad writing.
And possibly we haven’t seen anything yet. The spectral type and luminosity class of our Sun is
G2V, and from the little I’ve read about it, typical G2V stars have greater variability than our own – about 2% as against 1%.
A few percent doesn’t sound like much, but in the crudest model it would be about 3 deg C per percent (that is a *really* crude model).
It’s the sun, son.
Just say no to solar warming denial.
There is no gravity. The Earth sucks.
Goddard should play with his computer solar model whilst the real scientists deal with reality; the earth model. Come on get real drink Brawndo like ,like all earth modellers.Is that a word?
That doesnt explain snow on the prairies and nearly a 100 in Vancity, ie more pavement, fumes, people==more carbon
When F7 twisters are rolling thru Tranna while blizzards hurl thru Buffalo, and polarbears are drowning in lake erie, only then will you realize that Dion, Gore, Suzuki, Hansen and Moe are your friends. Until then you will live under the false canopy known as hardscience. SUCKERS!
The NIPCC has published its rebuttal;

Climate Change Reconsidered is an authoritative reply to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released in 2007. The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), whose members produced Climate Change Reconsidered, was created as a “Team B” to study the same scientific data examined by the IPCC and to arrive at an independent opinion. What is the IPCC? And why does it arrive at conclusions that are so different from those of the NIPCC?
Please pass this link on to our so called political leaders.
It’s those dumb TV weathermen! If they’d just draw the jet stream in a straight line through, say, Churchill, problem solved…Actually two, polar bears now saved and crisis averted.
The lack of sunspots has absolutely nothing to do with the forecasted snow in Calgary for June 6
I just got back to Calgary from the twin cities. Before I left, my host warned me that Minnesota can have weird weather. I tried to explain Chinooks and getting marble-sized hail in August.
