Since 1998, each years has in fact become cooler than the last. This little known inconvenient truth has been so well hidden by the media and Democrat politicians, that at least half of you out there expect it to be about 112 degrees for the entire month of July. Now we have some idea as to why this has been happening. During the 70’s, Chicken little convinced us that aerosol cans used for hairspray and underarm deodorant were going to cause an ice age and destroy the ozone layer. During the 80’s world wide cooling gave way to global warming, again caused by the scourge of man. Then the Rain forests of the world became the next environmental hysteria, and global warming came back into vogue. The solution by the environmental fascists during each of these scares remains the only constant. We must stop living in countries with vibrant economies, and accept a medieval living standard in order to save the planet.
The announcement made on 14 June (18:00 UK time) comes from scientists at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory. Three different analyses of the Sun’s recent behaviour all indicate that a period of unusually low solar activity may be about to begin.
The Sun normally follows an 11-year cycle of activity. The current cycle, Cycle 24, is now supposed to be ramping up towards maximum strength. Increased numbers of sunspots and other indications ought to be happening: but in fact results so far are most disappointing. Scientists at the NSO now suspect, based on data showing decades-long trends leading to this point, that Cycle 25 may not happen at all.
This could have major implications for the Earth’s climate. According to a statement issued by the NSO, announcing the research:
So, what does this mean for those of us who do not wish to commit economic suicide? Will we now be permitted to burn our fossil fuels as inefficiently as we desire? How about incandescent light bulbs, won’t we be actually helping the planet by choosing the higher quality and economically cheaper bulbs now? Now that we are facing a prolonged period of decidedly cooler temperatures, and as the environmental lunatics have already told us, any change in temperature on any day is indeed bad, Is it not all of our duty to now turn on random energy burning major appliances in order to help warm the planet? Indeed, only Exxon Mobile, BP, and Cravatt Coal can save us now. I would say that we should scrap the whole hybrid car nonsense, but the fact is, using these little pieces of excrement uses no less carbon emitting fuels than the all gasoline engines.
All joking aside, this is not going to happen. The reason of course is that the environmental movement has not had protecting the environment as its main goal for several decades now. The movement’s goal has been to inflict a centralized socialist agenda on us through a deceitful fiat. Somehow, the reversal of global temperatures will be spun as the most dire of circumstances which necessitate the very same steps as were to be employed to fight when temperatures were thought to be increasing. The only question, how long will these jerks be believed? I have had friends ask me in earnest if I had seen Al Gore’s movie, as if his piece of propaganda would somehow convince me. (Officially, Al Gore’s movie had been found to be propaganda by a British court. The judge in that case found the film to be so factually dishonest that he banned it from being shown to British school children as part of any class curriculum.) Now that Al Gore has purchased beach front property, and indeed built a home there, how seriously should we take his statement that the oceans will rise to the point of flooding major portions of the world? How seriously does he take it himself for that matter? The global warming crowd deserves nothing more than out right scorn and laughter from the rest of us. It is time for the Socialists to try another lie, this one is getting old.
