Orange Sun Oozing (2009 April 5)
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090405.html Beautiful depiction of the sun's power, isn't it? I want to thank the sites authors for adding the earths size as a reference of scale. Most people (not all) can generally grasp the size of the earth but would not have known what the video represented w...

Re: A Prominent Prominence (APOD 2009 March 15)
2.) Theory suggests it should happen. There's been a lot of climate models developed that attempt to account for the effect of increased levels of greenhouse gasses, particularly CO2 and methane, in our atmosphere. There's a fair amount of discrepancy in the predictions they make, but the general c...

Re: A Prominent Prominence (APOD 2009 March 15)
Chris, from your own post earliar today on another link Chris wrote---"The "lateness" in the increase of activity in the present solar cycle is well within the normal range of many cycles. To predict that this will be a quiet cycle is premature. And if it is, there is no evidence at a...

Re: A Prominent Prominence (APOD 2009 March 15)
Every time I see a photo like this (and its --greatly--inaccurate description) I think about the global warming believers and their continued denial on the effects of the sun on our climate. I say the description is greatly inaccurate because of the misrepresentation of the size of the prominence. I...

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista (2009 Feb 15)
Has anyone seen the Naked Science episode "Earth's invisible sheild"? It's still on right now. They show a pattern of earths magnetic sheild over the last 3-400 years as measured by mariners and scientists. They point out that there is a large variation of this magnetic "flow" ne...

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista (2009 Feb 15)
I had to share this with eveyone. Following a link about Greenland (and the fairytale about it's name) I came upon this website from a AGW preacher. His statement: **It is my opinion that those who still proclaim that "the jury is still out" or that modern-day climate change is natural, ar...

hmm-huh
Maybe you can explain why the planet warmed up in the middle ages?
How about explaining why a cold planet is better than a warm one?

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista
Like debating a third grader about going out to play "but Mom--you said I could go outside today!" "Johnny--its lightning and thunder out there" After reading your first arguement YOU tell ME to use logic---laughable especially the Pluto thing. And then-----We humans are supposed...

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista
Warming planets? Mars, Jupiter, Pluto and even triton, a moon of Neptune have had "coincidental" warming cycles. I wonder what the mid evil-ites called mid-evil warming? I got it **WTG** (stands for Whew--Thank God) I wonder what they called little Ice Age when it came like "waves fro...

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista
Here is where the whole discussion gets side tracked. The vast majority of so called "deniers" will not argue the fact that there are global temperature variations--truly only a moron would argue that. What we "deniers" are against is the faithfulls doctrine that IT is caused by ...

Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista
I watched a documentary about Antartica that turned into a global warming scare-a-thon at the end. Scene** Pans and vistas of Antartica--go to a man in a powered (by a gasoline motor) inflatable. They introduce him as Dr. so and so (I cannot remember his name) as the most prominent scientist in the ...
