Modern Solar Maximum A 'Rare & Unique Event In The
Past 3000 Years'
Is It The Sun After All?
Is It The Sun After All?
Usoskin et al. “present the
first fully adjustment-free physical reconstruction of solar activity” covering
the past 3,000 years, which record allowed them “to study different modes of
solar activity at an unprecedented level of detail.” Their reconstruction of
solar activity also displays several “distinct features,” including several
“well-defined Grand minima of solar activity, ca. 770 BC, 350 BC, 680 AD, 1050
AD, 1310 AD, 1470 AD, and 1680 AD,” as well as “the modern Grand maximum (which
occurred during solar cycles 19-23, i.e., 1950-2009),” which they describe as
“a rare or even unique event, in both magnitude and duration, in the past three
millennia.” --CO2 Science Magazine, 6 August

We may be witnessing the sun’s last dying gasps before entering into a long slumber. The impact of that slumber on Earth’s climate remains the subject of growing scientific speculation. --Jack Dini, Canada Free Press, 6 August 2014
We find ourselves in scientific hell when we discover that our powers of persuasion are limited to those who were already predisposed to agree with us. Indeed, the price of abandoning value neutrality as an ideal is prohibitively steep: nothing less, I believe, than our collective credibility as a science. –-Philip Tetlock, Political psychology or politicized psychology? Is the road to scientific hell paved with good moral intentions?
One of the sad side effects of the global warming climate scam is the way otherwise fairly intelligent people have been snookered into believing the dumbest things. There is no shortage of “experts” who gleefully back up claims of climate induced catastrophe—some with scholarly gravitas, others with fanatical shrillness. And the list of false and debunked claims goes on and on. Part of the blame for all these faux catastrophes rests squarely on the news media. Operating under the old adage, “if it bleeds it leads,” the mindless vultures of the world’s news agencies flock to report any calamity, more than happy to attributed the event to climate change. Instead of registering guns, governments should register cameras and microphones—they are truly dangerous weapons in the hands of the breathtakingly ignorant members of the fourth estate. --Doug Hoffman, The Resilient Earth, 6 August 2014
