NASA Study Shows
Sun Responsible for Planet Warming

From
DailyTech, we have still more evidence that any warming occurring on planet earth is
coming from natural sources and is cyclic in nature–NOT from the evil
capitalism that Al Gore, the UN politicians at the IPCC and other socialists
love to blame.
From the article:
Now,
a new research report from a surprising source may help to lay this skepticism
to rest. 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, “Right now, we are in between major ice ages, in a
period that has been called the Holocene.”
If
our media, culture and a large portion of the “scientific” community were
really honest, it would be the worshippers of the religion
of anthropogenic global warming who are called “skeptics,” wouldn’t it?
Because
it is those pushing this silly theory that our puny SUVs and power plants are
causing earth to warm up when the most obvious source of heat hangs over
their head every single day.
AGW
simply doesn’t pass the smell test. Nor does it line up with the objective
data.

As
this graph shows, solar activity has been cyclic in nature going back hundreds
of years. Solar activity is also increasing, and we are coming out of the
“Little Ice Age” of just a few hundred years ago. Of course the planet is
warming–we’re coming out of a cold spell! The Maunder Minimum period of
diminished solar activity coincided with the Little Ice Age when Europe and
North America experienced bitterly cold winters.
About
1,000 years ago, Greenland was warm enough for the Vikings to colonize and grow vineyards. Today
Greenland is almost entirely covered in ice. Tell me: is the earth warmer
today than it was 1,000 years ago? Did they have SUVs and coal power
plants in the days of the Vikings? This isn’t tough to figure out,
people.
The
only thing tough about the global warming debate is trying to get the facts to
match the socialist agenda of the AGW proponents. Try as they might, they
just can’t do it, and more and more
people are starting to see that.
Things
like cyclic solar data, warming occurring on other planets such as Mars
and Jupiter just don’t line up with the suppositions of the AGW worshippers. They
craft all manner of complex calculations and “what ifs,” but in the end the
best they can do is say things like, “Well, we can’t prove it now, but by the
time we can, it’ll be too late.”
And
we’re supposed to watch our electric bills go up 40% and see our economy devastated on what-ifs
and a bunch of garbage that not only doesn’t match the evidence but doesn’t
even pass the smell test?
I’m
not as gullible as these shysters seem to think I am, and I don’t believe most
of the American people are either.
