The Sun Is Dead And Global Cooling Is Here

Sorokhtin believes that a lack of sunspots does indicate a coming cooling period based on certain past trends and early records. In fact, he calls manmade climate change "a drop in the bucket" compared to the fierce and abrupt cold that can potentially be brought on by inactive solar phases.

Darn, I had my heart set on the Winter Solstice in 2012 (21 December, 7:29:12 am EST).   Either that, or when the Sun swells into a red giant and boils away the oceans in seven billion years or so.

Have you ever heard that routine from Beyond The Fringe?   LMAO

Some folks in the third world are about to be completely screwed fairly soon.   Consider the towns and villages whose water supply comes from the glaciers that are melting away.   When the glaciers are gone they become ghost towns.

Politics 101
1. Make claim.

2. Don't support claim.

3. Tell others who question claim:

a. 'you are obviously a non-believer so I won't waste my time supporting my claim', or
b. 'look up the information yourself.'

4. Continue to make more unsubstantiated claims as if nothing ever happened and hope no one noticed.

What the hell are you talkin' about Nincomformist?

Glaciers are melting faster than previously recorded and in some places disappearing.

That is true whether I say so or not.

Politics 000:

1. Deny or question any information that does not conform to that political point of view which the fringe right talking heads are blabbering about.
2. Claim weather and climate data that does not conform to your point of view is "politicizing" the issue.
3. Denounce the source as politically motivated to "substantiate" your claims of politicization.
4. Chase your tail and fiddle while Rome burns and blame it on the Barbarians, or terrorists in this modern age.

Other than #1, 2, and 3 in which you project thoughts like Y2 and Tilt, #4 pretty much fits the thread. Thanks for putting us back on track.


PS: true or not, I asked "which towns?" You all sure jump into hissy fits if someone asks a question. If you don't know the answer just say you don't know.
