The Inconvenient Truth:The Sun Varies in Intensity



"For the last twenty days there have been no sunspots (January 1 to 20 2008). Ultraviolet radiation has dropped to extremely low ratings and coronal holes have opened sending high levels of solar winds and making the aurora borealis larger. Siberia is suffering a cold snap and in a few weeks Canada may become colder than it has been in decades. Global Warming?

There are articles by meteorologists who write the "Hockey Stick Graph" Al Gore used in "An Inconvenient Truth" does not include the severe coldness of the mini-ice age of 1650 to 1720 when few sun spots were seen and Europe suffered under prolonged winters. For a number of years there were no summers. The age of European colonization may have been assisted by hunger.

Also missing from the graph is the period of global warming roughly 900 to 1400 when Greenland was green and grass covered Mongolia. It was warmer then than the present day when we have been told carbon dioxide emissions is the cause of higher temperatures. The Vikings did not burn oil to sail the North Atlantic and the Mongols did not drive SUVs to the outskirts of Vienna."
