Does this mean i can stop building my global cooling bunker and go back to work on my global warming bunker?

Maybe you'd better work on both.

Lengthy periods of low sunspot activity, on the other hand, such as the one between 1645 and 1715 called the Maunder Minimum, have been associated with cooler climate. What's to come in this case? We'll have to wait and see.

Global cooling - get used to it. And Zat:

"The worst nightmare is that it's right smack in the middle," Svalgaard says of the sunspots' rate of return. "Then all we know is [the models] are all bad." GIGO

What was the composition of CO2 in the atmosphere during that time.

Trying to affix global temperature change to ONE enviromental factor is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

Trying to determine what the global temperature change is for the next 10 years is the same.

Creating a public scare and profiting from it however is pure genius - totally underestimated ALGORE on that one - 2 big ones for al- the internet and global warming - too bad he could not patent it.

It is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal,

Peer review (also known as refereeing) is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (and often narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform impartial review. Impartial review, especially of work in less narrowly defined or inter-disciplinary fields, may be difficult to accomplish; and the significance (good or bad) of an idea may never be widely appreciated among its contemporaries. Although generally considered essential to academic quality, peer review has been criticized as ineffective, slow, and misunderstood.

Publications that have not undergone peer review are likely to be regarded with suspicion by scholars and professionals.

I put a hell of a lot more faith in a model that takes into account ALL enviromental factors than a theory based on sunspot activity alone.

Really? We know ALL the environmental factors? I do not trust a model which uses historical information for less than 0.00001% of all history.

"0.00001% of all history"

Recorded history ~6,000 years.

0.00001% of 6,000 years = 6 years.

Temperature/CO2 record: >600,000 years.
www.livescience.com

"Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is expected to exceed 500 parts per million and global temperatures to rise by at least 2C by 2050 to 2100, values that significantly exceed those of at least the past 420,000 years during which most extant marine organisms evolved. Under conditions expected in the 21st century, global warming and ocean acidification will compromise carbonate accretion, with corals becoming increasingly rare on reef systems."

Didn't you get the Palin pamphlet? If you had you'd know the Earth is no more than 6000 years old.

Recorded history ~6,000 years.


Thanks for demonstrating my point Zat. 6000/4500000000= ok a little more than 0.00001% or whatever number I threw out. You get my point - or more than likely because you have your head in your computer and not in reality you don't.

Yeah-and my Great-Great Grandmother had a pet Icthiosaurus named "fluffy".

Fashionable triceratops tack.

"You get my point - or more than likely because you have your head in your computer and not in reality you don't."

You obviously are not aware that Zatoitchy has a scientific peer-reviewed pool, an enviable tool possessed by no other human being. If Zat's pool says we're going to fry on this planet before November 4th, you'd best head down and do your early voting because we'll be extinct on election day (except Zat.He has a secret environmental habitat at the bottom of that pool.)

Actual triceratops fossil: www.cavinguk.co.uk

Triceratops was the most numerous of the horned cretaceous dinosaurs as well as the largest ceratopsian; it was one of the last to become extinct. Its name means "three horned face".

He's dead.

Sunspots right on time huh Zatoichi?? You must have started tanning Yourself again especially the backside. You know where the sun doesn't shine usually. You Go Zat.

Larry

Gee whiz!
Nobody put up a picture of fluffy?

A Sunspot!

I'll drink to that!

Cheers!
