Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The Sun has been strangely unblemished this year. On more than 200 days so far this year, no sunspots were spotted. That makes the Sun blanker this year than in any year since 1954, when it was spotless for 241 days.

Youu wqant sunspopts? OK

Damn! Shoulda checked for typos! Haha!

LOL

Drinking much?

This solar minimum is tough on the Ham Radio HF (High Frequency)bands.

I've made a few contacts into Europe on 20 meters, but I just can't seem to get any into Asia.

This past week a couple of proto sunspots from the new cycle 24, but they faded away.

What's Wrong with the Sun? (Nothing)

science.nasa.gov

He's been using Clearasol.

Zat--

So if the sun keeps going without sunspots--we could be in for another little ice age?

"-we could be in for another little ice age?"

That can't be possible because the fact that I don't inflate my tires has a bigger impact then that little old sun.

"we could be in for another little ice age?"

In a word, no.

"So if the sun keeps going without sunspots--we could be in for another little ice age?"

Well doggone it you betcha, Murphy.

It's because of Bush... I don't know how but I know it's his fault.....

The lack of sunspots is clearly caused by Global Warming(tm).

The only reasonable response is Zat's cut-and-paste (yet again) of temps over that last 37 years.

Maybe the Clearasil finally is working?

Vern, I hate to break this to you, but the period of sunspot cycles is 11 years.

Temp since '75.

Correlation between sunspots and temp: zero.

Zero; Like your IQ, Vern.

This is interesting on the temp records...

No sunspots means a Republican in the White House.

Right now, we are at the bottom of the 11 year sunspot cycle with respect to the number of sunspots seen. In fact, we are at a transition point between the end of cycle 23 and the beginning of cycle 24. Although it is not uncommon to see short periods of time where there are no observable sunspots, the current period of low sunspot activity is unusual. What will be interesting to see is whether or not the number of sunspots begins to increase in the near future. The longest period of time, approximately 63 years, where there were no visible sunspots was during the period known as the "Maunder minimum." It coincided with one of the coldest periods in recent Earth history.

Like a cockroach on garbage ..... Zat

Global cooling.. Al Gore has agreed to get a bigger jet to help stop this horror.

We gotta eat more beef, raise more cattle. This global cooling is caused by all them pussies in San Francisco and Seattle on those tofu and bean sprout diets.

Wow, the pinhead(s) are attracted to this thread like moths to a bug zapper.

I find it humorous when pinheads try to be sarcastic. Tell me pinhead, do you believe that when Obama suggested that we could save a lot of fuel by using simple common sense maintenance procedures on our millions of cars that he was wrong?
Perhaps when you've mastered the difference between 'then' and 'than' we can move on to more complex subjects. Now you can ignore my question and call me a grammar nazi.


www.conservativekids.net

That website cannot possibly be real.

So those who have decided the jury is in and that the verdict is the world ISN'T warming up are using their last ditch effort with this one to claim that all of that data is because one temperature sensor is housed at the end of the runway?

Wow.

I have underestimated these folks.

What is more interesting than the warming or cooling of the earth is how wacko global warming freaks who want hegemony over the debate will change with a global cooling cycle. My guess is that it will not stop them from lurching toward their goal of some sort of UN World Government Socialist State. Indeed, already they are hedging, when they talk about climate change instead of global warming.

Did libs stop their zombie lock-step march toward some false utopia when they destroyed the Black family and the inner-city. Of course not.

If the US Govt was managing the energy output of the Sun it would already be bankrupt and on the ropes! what does this mean? It means America is Totally Fucked!!! RIP Assholes!!!

Anticadillac-
I take it you don't live here, asshole.

Where the fuck do you idiots who claim we are in a "cooling phase" get your information (and what the hell do sunspots have to do with climate change?)

BETELG,

Did you ever consider the possibility that Al Gore and those so-called scientists could be lying to you?

"Where the fuck do you idiots who claim we are in a "cooling phase" get your information (and what the hell do sunspots have to do with climate change?)"

Please get an education. The sun is the primary source of climate change.[NOTE: Over the millennium we have had hot and ice ages and mankind could have not been a factor. Also note that we have recently found that the ice caps on Mars are currently melting/receding - also not 'our' fault.]

I find it humorous when pinheads try to be sarcastic. Tell me pinhead, do you believe that when Obama suggested that we could save a lot of fuel by using simple common sense maintenance procedures on our millions of cars that he was wrong?

Of coarse(Ha Ha) he wasn't wrong, just a condescending snob.

Should get out of the House more often. They would spot the Sun more. Oh and Global Warming is REAL it's called SUMMER. Global Cooling is also REAL it's called Winter.

"Tell me pinhead, do you believe that when Obama suggested that we could save a lot of fuel by using simple common sense maintenance procedures on our millions of cars that he was wrong"

No ractybogus what were telling you is that this was taught in drivers ed, is in very car owners manual, is described in every owners manual, and is checked by most americans or their mechanics on a very regular basis.

In order to even discuss tire pressure, how stupid do you have to dumb yourself down to...your level?

Larry

The Sun does Not heat the earth and lack of sunshine does not cause cooling! That's just insane! It's all caused by SUV's and George Bush! Silly, silly man.

So it's all of that Hot Air the Republicans spew that heats the globe up huh?? I should have known.

Larry

Yes, you should have!

A little sarcasm goes a long way.

Reminding us just how pitifully stupid he really is:

When it's Winter in the northern hemisphere, it's Summer in the Southern hemisphere, Larry, and vice-versa.
It's not global you worthless, stupid imbecile.

But just for shits and giggles,

Five coldest years for Jan-Dec average:

Five coldest years for Jun-Aug average:

"It is the second lowest on record. ... If anything, it is reinforcing the long-term trend. We are still losing the ice cover at a rate of 10 percent per decade now, and that is quite an increase from five years ago," Meier said. "We are still heading toward an ice cover that is going to melt completely in the summertime in the Arctic."

Happy extinction, Larry.
You deserve it.

Happy extinction, Larry.
You deserve it.

If I had a dollar for every nickle for each time Zat said this in a warming thread, I would have 20 times the money if I had only received nickles.

Dear Heavenly Father.

Thank You from the bottom of My heart that I wasn't Fathered by Zatoichi. I Praise Your wonderful Goodness and Kindness in this regard. Thank You Jesus for this true blessing.

AMEN

You know if you use a shammy cloth on your car after you wash it it gets rid of the sun spots.

Sorry, Larry, but your imaginary friends still don't exist.

1 in 4 mammals at risk of extinction

You're on the list, Larry.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can not wait until that supposed Imaginary Friend and You meet for the very first time. He will go So I don't exist huh?? BWHAHAHAHAHAHA I DO SO EXIST. You will be shaking like a leaf then Zatoichi.

Larry

Siiiigh...Poor Zat...reposting that same data over and over and over has finally fried his noodle. Witness the hysterical laugh. Kinda reminds me of Jack Nicholson in "The Shining." Somebody measure him for a strait jacket, will you?

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

#45 | Posted by Zatoichi

The senile old coot laughs alone.

I've never understood Conservative hostility toward Climate Change and other similar issues. Another news story today said that 1 in 4 mammals faces extinction. Why would anyone react to this with anger or skepticism? They want to spend billions to prevent a highly unlikely terrorist attack, but essentially ignore the looming threat to the environment. What gives?
