It is time my blog is heard on this topic. When I first started hearing the term Global Warming I ran a report on the highest temperatures in US recorded history. I found that many still had not been reached in the last 5 years. I also remembered from my days in Ham Radio that Sunspot activity was going to hit peak cycles in the coming years. If you remember it made news a few years back when we were expecting interruption of radio and cell phone communications.
Now what surprised me was with all this talk of CO2 emissions causing Global Warming, I couldn’t find a single person talking about, referencing, or even questioning sunspot activity. I’ve yet to hear Al Gore comment on sunspots – with all of his knowledge of the sciences does he know they exist?
Well my wait is over and the facts are very interesting. National Geographic News is reporting a new study that shows both Earth and Mars are experiencing a warming. In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the "carbon dioxide ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. Now it could be these “Man Made Probes” are also causing increased CO2 emissions on Mars – I think they are powered by Diesel!
The National Geographic article goes on to state:
“Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg 's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia
"Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance," Abdussamatov said.”
Now what is even more interesting is a period in history known as the “Maunder Minimum”. What is it? Surely Al Gore told you about this in his Award Winning movie… The Maunder Minimum is the name given to the period roughly from 1645 to 1715 A.D. when sunspots became exceedingly rare. What is also interesting about this time is that the Maunder Minimum coincided with the middle — and coldest part — of the so-called Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America , and perhaps much of the rest of the world, were subjected to bitterly cold winters.
So just what am I saying? Should we rape the land and pollute the air? Should we not consider the effects of man on our planet? Of course not! But to have a “Scientific” debate about "Global Warming” and not consider that really big bright “Hot” ball in the sky that sometimes throws heated fast balls at us like an MLB pitcher on steroids seems to me to be at best dim and at worst disingenuous.
