Global Warming Is Now Global Cooling
— Ace

I'm sure you never expected that. Well, of course you expected it. But maybe you didn't think it would happen so soon.

First up, "scientists" scramble to explain why the temperature, which all of their Sacred Scrolls, I mean computer models, said would continuing going up year-after-year is now flatlined in a long hiatus.

Meanwhile, many heretics have thought that the Sun's cycles of growing and fading sunspots are more likely the reason for the small amount of observed warming between the 70s and 1998. And now those sunspots are predicting a long cold spell... which, ironically, carbon-fueled global warming, if it exists to any significant degree, would help amelioriate.

It was an astonishing discovery, our sun can change. There was something different about the sun back then. Between 1645 and 1715, sunspots were rare. About 50 were observed. There should have been 50,000. Ever since the sunspot cycle was discovered, researchers have looked for its rhythm superimposed on the earthÂ’s climate. In some cases, it is there but usually at low levels. But there was something strange about the time when the sunspots disappeared that left scientists to ponder if the sunÂ’s unusual behaviour could have something to do with the fact that the 17th century was also a time when the earthÂ’s northern hemisphere chilled with devastating consequences.
Scientists call that event the Little Ice Age and it affected Europe at just the wrong time. In response to the more benign climate of the earlier medieval warm period, EuropeÂ’s population may have doubled. But in the mid-17th century, demographic growth stopped and in some areas fell Â– in part due to the reduced crop yields caused by climate change. Bread prices doubled and then quintupled and hunger weakened the population.
The English preacher John King wrote: Â“Our years are turned upside down, our summers are no summers; our harvests, no harvests.Â”
...
The key point is that looking back through the sunspot record reveals many periods when the sunÂ’s activity was high and low Â– and in general they are related to warm and cool climatic periods. For example, as well as the Little Ice Age there was the weak sun and the cold Iron Age, the active sun and the warm Bronze Age. Scientists cannot readily explain how the sunÂ’s activity affects the earth but it is an observational correlation that the sunÂ’s moods have a climatic effect on the planet.
The big question is what will happen in the future. Cycle 24 is weak with few sunspots. Could it be that our sun is behaving like it did in the 17th century? Could we be on the verge of a new Little Ice Age?

Thanks to @comradearthur.

4 It will not matter what the temp is nor the season. It is always due to your carbon footprint and the beginning of the end times, this climate change. The tides will rise. The ice will melt. You will sweat and then freeze.

20 The theory is that the heat is being stored in the oceans and will later be released. I don't know how exactly that would express itself, whether as warming or energy into the atmosphere or what. I guess the conclusion "It's immensely complex and we don't know as much about it as we thought we did" probably explains things best.

23 You know what cold weather brings?

Crop failures.

Food crop failures.

(Yeah, let's turn more corn into ethanol.)

Anyway, people have a nasty habit of wanting to eat.

And that nasty habit leads them to doing nasty things if they don't eat.

They often perform unauthorized medical experiments on political leaders when they're hungry . . . usually testing high-velocity lead tolerances.

You can't eat food stamps . . . .

And food stamps backed by borrowed Chinese money are particularly poor in nutrition . . . .

44 I've been tracking global cooling references since 2007, and we're getting near the tipping point. Fun fact: the NYT first started hyping global cooling over a hundred years ago, in 1896. The alarmists switch about every 30 - 40 years. Most of us remember the global cooling scare in the 1970s but did you know Frank Capra was making global warming propaganda in the 1950s?

99 So I have a dumb question. Does looking directly at the Sun cause blindness?

Reason I ask, is that all that data from the sunspots using telescopes must have been made by directly looking at the Sun, at least back in the 17 and 1800's.

So how was that made, if indeed looking at the Sun directly can make you lose your eyesight?

Just something I've always wondered about.

125 0.05% of the atmosphere is CO2. Anyone that studied even a little science knows that number is never going to be a driving force in ANY heat transfer calculation. It is a rounding error. Kinda surprised its all that plants need to survive, actually. Posted by: Schwalbe: The Me-262Â© at July 24, 2013 04:54 PM (9Bdcz) More significant is the fact that the vast bulk of the greenhouse effect is the result of water vapor, which has spectral absorption characteristics far in excess of that of carbon dioxide. The Dominant factor is Water Vapor.

143 I think if you had a tournament of the stupidest phrases, out of a highly competitive pool of 64, the "I believe in the science" will make it to the final four.

And it doesn't matter what "science" the speaker claims to "believe in." The phrase is out-and-out stupid. But especially when the topic is global warming.

It's worse than the blind faith most of its speakers mock the religious for--it's a blind faith with a sloppy, shitty mis-tint discount rack of science-like paint splashed on it.

You don't get to "believe" in the science and your "belief" adds nothing to its validity.

Bush shaved his head this week to show support for a young leukemia patient. Two-year-old Patrick, who lost his own hair because of the treatments, is the son of a member of BushÂ’s security detail. President Bush, 89, noticed this week that members of his security detail were suddenly bald. When he found out why, he volunteered to join them. The security detail members have launched a website called Patrickspals.org to help the family with medical bills. They also organized the Inaugural PatrickÂ’s Pals Motorcycle Benefit Run on August 10 in Kennebunkport. The Bushes lost their second child, Robin, to leukemia 60 years ago this October at the age of three.

I propose today a new Climate Change treaty in which the United States will lead the way in green energy.

256 "And now those sunspots are predicting a long cold spell... which, ironically, carbon-fueled global warming, if it exists to any significant degree, would help amelioriate."

As I've been pointing out for a few years now, if we do get a global "long cold spell", the countries which have bet their entire energy architecture on wind power are going to be completely boned.

The northern European grand experiment with wind power has shown in practice that it is entirely possible for wind lulls to happen across the length and breath of an entire huge region at the same time, and for those lulls to persist for lengthy periods. As much as a week or more without a puff of breeze.

And this typically happens in the deep dark cold heart of the worst of winter, which is when electric power is the most needed to sustain lives, health and economic activity.

This doesn't even get into the engineering nightmare which heavy icing poses for the new generation of mega-turbine wind farms.

324 "Meanwhile, many heretics have thought that the Sun's cycles of growing and fading sunspots are more likely the reason for the small amount of observed warming between the 70s and 1998. And now those sunspots are predicting a long cold spell... which, ironically, carbon-fueled global warming, if it exists to any significant degree, would help amelioriate." The Sun would be where energy (and matter) tends to come from (immediately speaking). Leftists like to overlook that fact for a lot of reasons. The whole point of a greenhouse gas (and carbon dioxide is to an "authentic" greenhouse gas as the clitoris is to a penis) would be that its significant release (and significant would be an overstatement) would significantly alter the absorption characteristics of the atmosphere. But absorption characteristics imply that there is something to be absorbed to begin with. Something which is assumed to be constant for the purpose of manufacturing more efficient agitprop. TL;DR 'Photons? Never heard of them.' 'Are they in or out this season?' 'What are they good for? Absolutely nothing!' 'Helios is raping Gaya, like God raped the Virgin Mary!!!111'

40's is brisk, freezing is freaking cold. We didn't have any freezing days this winter, but the winter'ish weather pattern season was extended by like 2 months over typical.

Even during a very cold period, it'll go up into the 50's or 60's during the day.

Go 50 miles north of Palm Beach, or even just up to Jupiter and freezing temps are common. Heck, just 10mi north from my crib to PBI and you can feel a temperature band difference.
