Who are you gonna believe, the government-funded scientists on the UN’s IPCC and their fourth assessment of climate change. Or is it still possible that the Sun did it? New York Times reporters Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrew C. Revkin give us the bad news:
In a bleak and powerful assessment of the future of the planet, the leading international network of climate change scientists has concluded for the first time that global warming is "unequivocal" and that human activity is the main driver, "very likely" causing most of the rise in temperatures since 1950.
Well, that sounds like it is all over. Except for one thing. Should we respond to climate change by adapting to the new climate or should we try to arrest the change?
The international conspiracy of venture socialists are all agreed. We should sacrifice and change our ways. But they are the same people who advertise their devotion to science and the adaptive process of natural selection.
But let us give us climate deniers our moment. Writes Jack Kelly:
Leaks of the IPCC report coincided with publication of two books which link climate change to a long, moderate solar cycle.
What’s he talking about? Just this:
In "Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1,500 Years," Fred Singer and Dennis Avery present evidence of 600 moderate warmings in the last million years.
In "The Chilling Stars," Henrik Svensmark and Nigel Calder discuss how cosmic rays amplify small changes in the sun’s irradiance, creating 1-2 degree Centigrade cycles in temperatures on earth.
Then there is the fact that sunspots are running at a 1,000 year high. Remember, they were at a “Maunder minimum” during the Little Ice Age that the Earth enjoyed for much of the last half millennium.
Who are you gonna believe?
