Better pray for global warming because global cooling would really suck!

there was a show on i believe discovery channel about a year ago about global cooling.even jet vapor trails were having an effect,they could never test the theory until 9/11 then all jet traffic was grounded and they noted an increase in temps of like 3-5 degrees across the country on those days.when flights resumed the temps dropped back to previous levels.

Mind the butterfly.

I saw a show on it too, might've been the same one as catmandoo62. What's funny is that they were saying global cooling was vastly underestimated, which means global warming is actually a lot worse than what people thought.

Or maybe we say, "But for the grace of global warming, we'd be watching ice advance over the northern hemisphere, dropping last frost well below 30 deg latitude."

Quick, throw a couple Hummers onto the highway!

Or perhaps our current so called warming trend is just a prelude to the cooling. Just another cycle of continous climate change that the earth has experienced from the dawn of time.

There was a special on the mini ice-age. Summers with bitter cold and snow. Just how many crop failures could we take? One little blip on the rice radar and Costco runs out of big bags and limits sales to one small bag per customer.

Lets just hope those pesky little sun spots return.

I gotta run and dust off my snow shoes!

Last time there was no sunspot activity for 50 years (?) was when we had the last "little" ice age. Fact check, please, but I think that is right.

Is it true that sunspot activity is now minimal?

What affects will that have?
Can we have a global conference to REQUIRE the sun to submit paperwork, detailing its planned sunspot activity, and the probable effects that such activity will have on earth, and earth's life forms?

I am sure they will set up a Sun-Gaia Impact Conference in Berkeley under the new administration -- no matter who wins

It will be at least as critical and the Sanjaya Impact Conference.

I'm pulling for global cooling, this heat stuff sucks!

Yeah, but getting Mr. Sun and his government to just sit down and talk to us, let alone getting him to sign the treaty is going to be a *****...

Has anyone heard from his lawyers yet?

OBTW, how 'bout the contingent from the Galapagos? I hear they're putting some MOFO nasty stuff in the air right now...sorta' makes Big Al's carbon footprint look like the little toe toe-nail from a newborn mole, eh?

Hey, but if ANYONE CAN GET IT DONE like the rubber-tree-planting-moving-ant, it's going to be big "O" - along w/help from Mr. Franken...

You mean SENATOR Franken, don't you?

I heard that the Sun is going on Oprah to tell his side of the story...

Yeah people worry about this stuff in cycles that are far to short for nature to work. Now we are going to worry about global cooling for the next 10-15 years, can't wait for Al Gore's next movie!

Which is what? The REAL Inconvenient Truth - We got it right this time? How about The Sequel to An Inconvenient Truth - The Cold.

The sunspot cycle is around the minimum currenlty of an 11 year cycle. In 2001 and 2002 there were a lot of sunspots. Now halfway through the cycle later there are very few sunspots. This past school year (I work at an observatory for a public school) there were only two large groups of sunspots but several little ones. In about 2012 or so the cycle will again be at a peak.

So what did we do to change that?
