Today’s Topeka Capital-Journal article highlights why it is so important to fight the false alarms raised by global warming extremists. Charlie Perry of the U.S. Geological Survey in Lawrence explained how cool spots on the sun’s surface could be contributing to fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature.
In fact, it looks as though the Earth may be entering into a “grand minimum” where temperatures will be cooler than normal. A lot of anecdotal evidence exists, Perry explains.
Perry said there is anecdotal evidence the Earth’s temperature may be slightly decreasing, but local weather patterns are much more affected by the jet stream than solar activity.
However, Perry said snow in Buenos Aires and southern Africa, the best ski season in Australia and a cooler Arctic region are some of the anecdotal evidence for a cooling period.
So, Perry said, sunspots may have a far greater impact on weather than previously thought.
Is this the smoking gun we’ve been looking for? Probably not. There is still significant evidence that any warming of the Earth is due to water vapor rather than CO2. And water vapor is something even Al Gore will have to admit is natural and NOT man-made.
Perry brings up a good point; how can the Earth be warming when there is so much evidence that it is actually cooling? That’s something global warming alarmists can’t answer because the facts simply don’t back up their theory.
