Thanks Lou, Sean and others,
All good point!!
FIRST: I am on the side of GW but honestly it is only my OPINION.
SECOND: Why study the anti-GW people? Answer: Keep your friends close but your
enemies closer.
Here is an article explaining how atomic particles that are coming in from
exploded stars affect our weather.
Keeping an open mind. .....
Some snippets:
"When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming
is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works. We
were treated to another dose of it recently when the experts of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued the Summary for Policymakers
that puts the political spin on an unfinished scientific dossier on climate
change due for publication in a few months’ time. They declared that most of
the rise in temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to
man-made greenhouse gases."
"The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather
satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999."
"That levelling off is just what is expected by the chief rival hypothesis,
which says that the sun drives climate changes more emphatically than
greenhouse gases do. After becoming much more active during the 20th century,
the sun now stands at a high but roughly level state of activity. Solar
physicists warn of possible global cooling, should the sun revert to the
lazier mood it was in during the Little Ice Age 300 years ago."
"Climate history and related archeology give solid support to the solar
hypothesis. The 20th-century episode, or Modern Warming, was just the latest
in a long string of similar events produced by a hyperactive sun, of which
the last was the Medieval Warming."
"He saw from compilations of weather satellite data that cloudiness varies
according to how many atomic particles are coming in from exploded stars.
More cosmic rays, more clouds. The sun’s magnetic field bats away many of the
cosmic rays, and its intensification during the 20th century meant fewer
cosmic rays, fewer clouds, and a warmer world. On the other hand the Little
Ice Age was chilly because the lazy sun let in more cosmic rays, leaving the
world cloudier and gloomier."
