"Tattoo this: "It's the Sun, Stupid!" - Global Warming-Climate Change Debunked

[WhiskeyGirl]

This is a really good read.  Billions wasted on the 'fight' to end global warming/climate change.  What a waste.  Where did the money go?  Cronyism?  Favoritism?  Political bundlers?

Scientists have been studying solar influences on the climate for over 5000 years.

Chinese imperial astronomers kept detailed sunspot records. They noticed that more sunspots meant warmer weather. In 1801, the celebrated astronomer William Herschel (discoverer of the planet Uranus) observed that, when there were fewer spots, the price of wheat soared. He surmised that less “light and heat” from the sun resulted in reduced harvests.

There is lots of good stuff between these two points that show solar influences through history. 

The hallmark of good science is the testing of plausible hypotheses that are either supported or rejected by the evidence. The evidence in BEST’s own data, and in other data we have analyzed, is consistent with the hypothesis that the Sun causes climate change, especially in the Arctic, China and the USA.

BEST’s data also clearly invalidates the hypothesis that CO2 is the most important cause of observed temperature changes across the USA.

When do the cap and tax schemes end?  The rush to inefficient energy supplies end? 

When does the return to common sense, cheap and reliable energy begin?

The US has an abundant supply of energy and government, big business, and profiteers keep pushing for higher energy prices.  What's wrong with this picture?

just my humble opinions

"Solar Variation and Climate Change. Future Temperature Decline and Energy Demand Growth"

...The current climate warming we are witnessing is another natural process, and it is not caused by the “greenhouse effect”. The impact of greenhouse gas emissions was highly exaggerated, since the mass of the Earth’s atmosphere is 18,375,000 billion tons, and with emissions totaling about 9 billion tons, the greenhouse gas concentration amounts to only 0.00005 percent, which could hardly have triggered any global changes, including a temperature increase.

... The interdependence between solar variation and dramatic climate change worldwide and between and the immediate temperature decrease and the bare minimum of solar activity have been proved. The Earth is on the brink of a “Little Ice Age”, which will start in 2014, with the lowest temperatures by the mid-century. Initially, a temperature decrease will be very slow, and after a decade more intensive. The Global ocean temperature is expected to drop by one degree, which is enough for new Greenland glaciers to appear. Lower temperatures will affect the residents of the equator and the south the least. Another span of minimal temperatures (down by 1.0-1.5 C) will last 45-65 years followed by a temperature increase in the early 22nd century. Undoubtedly lower temperatures in the near future will drive energy consumption up both globally and regionally...

Therefore, the analysis given above points to a conclusion that climate change as a result of solar variation, is a cyclical natural processes that manifests itself on a geochronological scale in the form of alternating periods of warming and cooling. It is noteworthy that the start of the “Little Ice Age” which manifests itself in a dramatic decline in solar irradiation intensity coincided with the expected increase in oil, coal and natural gas consumption. Natural gas demand will grow exponentially due to the advantages of this resource over oil and coal. This factor will be vital for a comfortable life and dynamic development of society, particularly in the northern hemisphere during the expected “Little Ice Age”.
