Global what?
Posted by Rob Longenecker on February 9th, 2008
Global cooling is now a concern.
“Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles.
To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better “eyes” with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth’s climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined.
And they’re worried about global cooling, not warming.”
What an interesting turn of events.
This underlines argument that’s been under the surface of the global warming debate for a long time – whether variances in the activity or our sun has the most impact on the earth’s temperature or greenhouse gases.
“……As we have noted many times, perhaps the biggest impact on the Earth’s climate over time has been the sun.”
We’ll see.
