| RIA Novosti: A cold spell soon to replace global warming |
| 2008-01-03 |
| MOSCOW. (Oleg Sorokhtin for RIA Novosti) – Stock up on fur coats and felt boots! This is my paradoxical advice to the warm world. Earth is now at the peak of one of its passing warm spells. It started in the 17th century when there was no industrial influence on the climate to speak of and no such thing as the hothouse effect. The current warming is evidently a natural process and utterly independent of hothouse gases. The real reasons for climate changes are uneven solar radiation, terrestrial precession (that is, axis gyration), instability of oceanic currents, regular salinity fluctuations of the Arctic Ocean surface waters, etc. There is another, principal reason—solar activity and luminosity. The greater they are the warmer is our climate. |

| #13 But all we need do is spread charcoal dust on the glaciers to reduce sunlight reflectance and increase heat absorption, and the problem will simply melt away. /end wide-eyed gullibility |

| #12 COASTTOCOASTAM > CBC - MYSTERIOUS DARK SPIRAL. DREAM/VICION - Guam + WESTPAC will seen these ni time soon enuff, only massively bigger and angrier. |

| #11 ION, NEWSCIENTIST > GEMINID METEORS SEEN STRIKING THE MOON, + TOPIX > IF ASTEROID MISSES MARS, MIGHT STRIKE EARTH SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. Shades of APOPHIS = MOON EXPLOSIONS 2030??? "Q" from STAR TREK TNG > "ITS DANGEROUS OUT HERE ...SPACE ISN'T FOR THE TIMID". |

| #10 See also REDDIT > DARWINISM: THE IMPERIALISM OF BIOLOGY [by extens other/all Sciences]. ALso from REDDIT > PHYORG > HELIUM SUPPLIES ENDANGERED...Among other thingys, RUSSIA may replace the USA as the world's leading supplier in circa 30 Cylon = Amerikan years. HMMMMM, ICE AGE? after 2041 [RIAN], new Asteroid threat to Earth in 2048, and Russia in circa 2038. AND THEN THERES PARIS = VENUS... |

| #9 Leave it to the RUSSIANS and RIAN > so besides this, RIAN's earlier artikle warning about COMET APOPHIS striking the Earth, and then RIAN again warning that WD5 may not significantly damage MARS iff it did hit same on Jan 30, 2008. *OTOH, TOPIX > in Cylon Babe Yarn = Year 2048, an asteroid larger than WD5 NOT APOPHIS has better odds of de facto hitting Terra Firma; + RUMORMILLNEWS > Poster reports alleging never-before-seen space rocks/objects emanting from the SUN during recent sunspots. GOES TO SHOW THAT EVEN RUSS = RIAN.RU's SCIENCE DESK CAN MISS A FEW. Song(s) lyric > ON A CLOUDY DAY ...ON A WARM SUMMER'S EVE. GUAM - on a future day one can barely see the outlines of Mt. Lamlam or Santa Rosa due to super-Xtreme COLD FOG. D *** NGED LONDON BRIDGE + TOWER OF LONDON. "IS MARS HEADED FOR EARTH" > As a WHITNEY HUSTON FAN, my old Afghan war mate OSAMA, etc. had better hope his Islamist World Messiah = Mahdi/Imam = Ahura Mazda = Krishna = ..., etc. is there to save Earth by deflecting Mars into outer space = the Sun, ala an [ISLAMIST] MAGNETO!? And remember, like the coming KAMALEN IMPACT/EVENT, 'tis only one of many. FIFTH ELEMENT > RESPONSE/RETALIATION infers INTELLIGENCE ergo infers EXISTENCE ergo infers CONSCIENCE ergo infers LIFE ergo infers REALITY = GOD??? GOD TO SECULARISTS + ATHEISTS - Iff you be his Equal and Superior, SAVE YOURSELF AS BEST YOU CAN BECUZ BY YOUR OWN SECULAR DEFINITIONS (1) GOD + CHRIST, etc. DON'T EXIST ANDOR NEVER DID, (2) CHRIST NEVER ROSE FROM THE DEAD; and (3)NO HIGHER FORM EXISTS BEYOND MANKIND AND SCIENCE TO EITHER INDUCE SPACE EVENTS NOR STOP SPACE EVENTS, AND NEW REALITIES, ETC. WHO SAYS THE WOT IS NOT A "WAR FOR GOD/FAITH" versus WAR AGZ GOD/FAITH??? |

| #7 "So the Sun and Earth are more powerful than humans. Liberals never get this." That's because liberals are narcissists. They think they can do anything and are the cause of everything. Greenhouse gases have much less impact that most realize because convection will carry heat up past most of the gases in the atmosphere and because CO2 is such a minor greenhouse gas, causing less than 1/50th of the total greenhouse effect (water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas in earth's atmosphere) so doubling CO2 would probably have a negligible impact on greenhouse warming. |

| #6 See, Oleg's smart. He called it "climate change", so he can't be wrong. Too hot? Climate change. Too cold? Climate change. I told you so! |

| #5 "but Mother Nature is unlikely to do that"??? But, but, but she kills and recycles all her children! |

| #4 This man - Oleg Sorokhtin - is a heretic to the religion of man made global warming. He must be brought before the Grand Climate Inquisition Council, questioned, and, if he does not repent, be tortured, and possibly executed. He makes too much sense. |

| #3 Also ALL long term computer models of the weather are just expensive randomness generators. |

| #2 The main CO2 source is volcanic activity. The main CO2 sink is driven by silicate weathering. Human origin CO2 is less than the noise in the natural fluctuations |

| #1 Carbon dioxide is not to blame for global climate change. Solar activity is many times more powerful than the energy produced by the whole of humankind. ManÂ’s influence on nature is a drop in the ocean. So the Sun and Earth are more powerful than humans. Liberals never get this. |
