Why did the earth warm so much in the 1990s? Why is it cooling so much now? Blame it all on sunspots.

Quote: “‘This is the quietest Sun we’ve seen in almost a century,’ says NASA solar scientist David Hathaway. But this is not just a scientific curiosity. It could affect everyone on Earth and force what for many is the unthinkable: a reappraisal of the science behind recent global warming.”

Evidence that the sun is the primary cause of global warming and cooling has been available for centuries. Dramatic evidence from this decade now proves the point. For approximately the last two years, there has been no sunspot activity on the sun’s surface. This is the longest absence on record, and it coincides with a global drop in temperature since 2007 of almost two degrees Fahrenheit.

There are also two other unusual phenomena occurring. The “solar wind”—an outpouring of charged particles from the sun that appears visually as the northern lights—is at its weakest on record.

As well, the sun’s magnetic axis is tilted to an unusual degree. Over the past century, especially in the 1980s, there was very high sunspot activity, which led to a steady increase in global warming.

Global warming alarmists, ignoring the volumes of evidence from solar scientists, universally blamed everything on carbon dioxide emissions caused by human beings. But then the temperatures stopped rising in 1998 due to a lessening of sunspots. At the same time, global carbon dioxide emissions have gone up 30 percent over the past decade. The only proven scientific impact of these emissions is that plant life on Earth has increased by a remarkable eight percent since 1980.

Why do alarmists ignore the solar evidence? Because they can’t regulate the sun. And because their real objective isn’t scientific proof, but control of the global economy. If the sun continues to be less active over the next decade, we’ll all be saying extra prayers for global warming.

Another Strike Against Global Warming

“Despite record snows and low temperatures around the world last month, a major Al Gore supporter says October was the hottest on record. The only thing being cooked here is not the Earth, but the books.” (“Cold, Hard Facts.” Investor’s Business Daily)

It’s interesting to watch the major panic that is setting in among global warming alarmists around the world. Not only do they refuse to admit that there has been no global warming since 1998—in spite of massive, legitimate scientific evidence substantiating this fact—now they are producing faulty temperature reports to bolster their faltering cause.

On November 10, 2008, Dr. James Hansen, the head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and one of the most extreme alarmists on the planet, claimed that October ’08 was the hottest on record and that we are all doomed. But within 24 hours, the Goddard organization was admitting error and reversed itself—in the face of a firestorm of scientific criticism.

It turns out that Goddard didn’t even do its own research and that another organization supplied it with data that was partially based on September temperature readings. When the correction was made, it turned out that another organization supplied it with data that was partially based on September temperature readings. When the correction was made, it turned out that October ’08 was the 77th hottest in the past hundred years.

This means it was actually one of the coolest Octobers since 1908—which also supports growing evidence that the Earth is now in a major cooling period that could last for 30 years.

How and why would Dr. Hansen and his institute put out such a clunker? The answer to “how” is that politics has now taken over the thinking of the scientist who are working at Goddard, so they never double-check any findings that support their cause. The answer to “why” is that Dr. Hansen is so far out on a limb with his outrageous and meritless claims of global warming that the truth no longer matters.

He and thousands of other scientist, politicians, bureaucrats, and media disciples are increasingly desperate in the face of the mounting evidence of global cooling.
