You've post this a couple times so I decided to research it. It certainly appears it could effect climate change. However, future warming from the rise in greenhouse gases far outweigh any solar effects. There is another problem with the idea that this solar trend is responsible for climate change. We have limited correlation between temperature rises and the solar trend. Since 2003 there doesn't seem to be much interest.
Changing Sun, Changing Climate
I'm getting ready to go to bed so perhaps I'll look at your link tomorrow. But I think if we are all honest about this climate change thing, it's to admit none of know enough about it to make a determination one way or another. I personally believe the earth has a cleansing system we are totally unaware of. After all, how did the earth cleanse itself from volcanic eruptions, forest fires, cow farts?
Are we causing the climate to change? I don't know because we don't have enough evidence to prove it. I do find it doubtful. But if we are, how much are you willing to sacrifice to stop it? Are you willing to go without heat in your home? Give up personal transportation? Do without advanced communications like this internet, cable television, cell phones?
Your problem is that you think you know more than the scientists.
1) We know temperatures are rising ad rising faster than what we know about natural warming.
2) We know the heightened carbon content is the major factor.
3) We know heightened CO2 increases the greenhouse effect & that raises temperature.
4) The increase in CO2 in our atmosphere stems from emissions.
5) Therefore, anyone with a fucking brain knows the solution is to reduce emissions.
6) It takes the Earth decades to natural remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere. This is why we need to act now to prevent higher temp increases in 50-70 years.
7) Our current climate includes things like volcanic eruptions, fires, etc.
We can heat our homes without creating emissions
We can drive electric/hybrid vehicles
What does communications have to do with anything?
The solution is is reduce emissions to the point where the carbon levels are reduced & maintained at lower levels.
The longer we wait, the worse the temperature rise will be.
Instead of working towards this, a bunch of really ignorant people elect a President & Congress that is bought by the fossil fuel industry to fight efforts because the burning of fossil fuels is the biggest contributor to high CO2 levels. These people have duped the right into condemning their own offspring to a more difficult life. How stupid is that?
I cut my carbon footprint in half. My just as warm in winter, cooler than yours in the summer, and I drive just as far as I always did.
You are lying & ignorant when you claim you actually might have to sacrifice something for your Children.
No matter what figures you find, there is no way to prove man is responsible. Every single human being emits CO2. There is just no way around it. We have over 7 billion people on this planet and growing. 7 billion little C02 producers. What do we do about those? What happens when it goes to 8 or 9 billion?
What changed in the past 100 years that would increase the CO2? Industrial revolution?
Yes more people but it isn't our CO2 it is the CO2 generated by our transportation, HVAC, factories, etc.
I'll wait for your
CO2 currently makes up .039% of the atmosphere, it has been at that same level since we started measuring it, and was at that same level thousands of years before the industrial revolution according to ice cores and fossil data.
CO2 is not a pollutant, it is a gas that is necessary for all life on earth.
