Probing the Role of the Sun In an Era of Global Warming

Anyone who doubts that the Sun has a profound impact on climate just hasn’t been paying attention. A mere change in the sun angle from January to July means the difference between cold winters and hot summers in New Jersey, where I live. If the Earth were traveling through the darkness of space alone, we wouldn’t have a climate to begin with; the planet would be frozen solid. One way or another, the Sun is the ultimate source of most of the energy on Earth. That being the case, critics of the idea that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases have suggested that the real culprit is a changing Sun. If they’re right, the clamor to reduce emissions would be a waste of time and resources. And while climate scientists are pretty sure the problem really is greenhouse gases, they can’t just ignore alternate explanations. like CO2 trap heat. They know that greenhouse gases are implicated in episodes of climate change going back millions of years. They know that carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels has been building up in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution began. They’ve seen the temperature rising, glaciers melting, weather patterns changing. They don’t know all the details, but the story hangs together extremely well. But just because a scientific story hangs together doesn’t mean you aren’t missing something. The late physicist Richard Feynman once said: “The first principle [in science] is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” A convincing line of reasoning, whether it’s part of a scientific theory or an episode of “Law & Order,” could fool you into overlooking the real villain. So scientists have looked hard at how the Sun might be playing a part, and how big a part, in the current episode of climate change. There are basically two possibilities. The first and most straightforward is that the Sun has been putting out more energy lately than it used to. The second is that the Sun is tinkering with our atmosphere in more subtle ways — a more complicated proposition. As to the first idea, there’s no question that the Sun does change brightness. In its youth, for example, billions of years ago, the Sun put out only about 70 percent as much energy as it does now — it’s only thanks to the greenhouse gases thought to have blanketed the planet at that time that all the Earth’s water didn’t turn to solid ice.

News Flash: CERN Orders 'Blackout' of "The Cloud" Cosmic-Ray ...

The CLOUD experiment builds on earlier experiments by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark, who demonstrated that cosmic rays provide a seed for clouds. Tiny changes in the earth's cloud cover could account for variations in temperature of several degrees. The amount of Ultra Fine Condensation Nuclei (UFCN) material depends on the quantity of the background drizzle of rays, which varies depending on the strength of the sun's magnetic field and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. "CERN has joined a long line of lesser institutions obliged to remain politically correct about the man-made global warming hypothesis. It's OK to enter 'the highly political arena of the climate change debate' provided your results endorse man-made warming, but not if they support Svensmark's heresy that the Sun alters the climate by influencing the cosmic ray influx and cloud formation," observed Calder.

Banning interpretation by scientists because the news is "too hot to handle" means that journalists will end up doing the interpretation. What better way to strike up controversy? Not to say that a good science minded journalist couldn't draw valid conclusions from analyzing data, but the unspoken implication is that "we have a really hot finding here that will knock your socks off, but we are too chickenshit too talk about it for fear our funding will go away."

Finally, Daily Galaxy runs a story that doesn't come straight from the Global Warming propaganda machine; congratulations, but wipe the sleep from your eyes after years of dogmatic slumber. there's lots of damage to undo thanks to the CAGW thought tyranny and your enabling. We, the readers, will make sure you don't backslide. Too bad you don't follow up and see what they are hiding at Cern;Go see wattsupwiththat.com to get the real story. And finally, yes Virginia, they are hiding scientific fact up there, let's not have any doubts about that. This is an unprecedented muzzling of free scientists by a political cabal masquerading as scientists.

Heuer the head of Cern is like Hitler. his goal is to suppress the truth from society, and give orders to his behind general Calder, who can lie and tell us he speculates that it is a boring report. Special Relativity has been intrepreted to include dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and 4% visible matter.
