Low Clouds Cause Cooling

By

ACCORDING to NASA we are in for a period of low solar activity which means more cosmic rays getting through to earth.   According to research at the Danish National Space Center more cosmic rays means more cloud nuclei in the lower atmosphere and thus more low bright clouds which reflect incoming sunlight having a cooling effect on planet earth.  

And Roy Spencer, at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, explains at his blog how the climate modellers get cause and effect the wrong way around for these clouds:

Senate Inquiry into Bushfires

By

Greetings Everyone,

Below is the details and terms of reference for a Senate inquiry into Bushfires in Australia. This should compliment the gaps that will likely be left in the Royal Commission for the chronic state of the environment due to political nest feathering for green preferances. This green lunicy of using the environment as a political football has now killed people and destroyed large tracts of our environment.

I would urge people to put in a submission, as so far the Federal bushfire enquiry after 2003 was the best.

Regards Ralph Barraclough

Population Imperialists

“We know full well what happens when women’s fertility becomes the object of draconian top-down social engineering as it has in China and was in the dark days of eugenics when thousands were involuntarily sterilised. The war on population always has been, and will continue to be, a war on women’s bodies,” Ms Hartmann said.  Read more.

Earth’s Atmosphere to Cool and Contract: NASA

By

THERE is a new forecast from a panel of international scientists who study the sun.  In a media release from Science@NASA, Tony Phillips explains they predict that the sun will remain generally calm for at least another year and this means low solar activity which can have “a profound effect on Earth’s atmosphere, allowing it to cool and contract”. 

Summarizing comment from the expert panel, Dr Phillips explains that “cosmic rays that are normally pushed back by solar wind instead intrude on the near-Earth environment.

The graph shows yearly-averaged sunspot numbers from 1610 to 2008. Researchers believe upcoming Solar Cycle 24 will be similar to the cycle that peaked in 1928, marked by a red arrow.

Enron’s Other Secret

By

Every penny that leaves the hands of consumers does so by design, the final step in elaborate and often brilliant orchestrations of public policy, all the more brilliant because the public, for the most part, does not know who is profiteering on climate change, or who is aiding and abetting the profiteers.  Read more here.
