Mars Is Melting

 

1. I’ve been asking the question of the sun’s output for quite some time.  No one has ever stepped up to the plate and said that the solar output varies.  People make the assumption that the solar output is constant and that is untrue.  The amount of sunspots determines in part how much energy reaches the surface of the earth.  When sunspots decrease the earth begins a cooling cycle.  With an increase of sunspots the earth begins warming.

   Anyone care to tell me where we are in the sunspot cycle?  Increasing?  Decreasing?  If it is decreasing then why is Mars warming up?  So I suspect that the sunspot cycle is increasing.

   Just because a guy/gal has a PHD that doesn’t mean that they posess the commonsense G_d gave to a goose.

2. We are at a current low point in the sunspot cycle and starting to rise ...

3. Cool, er, warmer and going to get much warmer.  Couple that to cosmic radiation impacting rainfall and things will be getting much more interesting on the weather front. 

   Do they have a record of the size of the sunspots vs temperature increase?  Are sunspots getting larger as well as more frequent?  Is the radiation varying across the spectrum as well (infrared vs visable vs ultrviolet vs x-ray)?  How about the particulate output from the sun?  Is that increasing/decreasing?  Has the particulate output changed in type of particles coming from the sun?

4. Reality, what a concept!

5. Send Al Gore he can fix it!

6. The guy’s quote should read “His results are completely at odds with the results I need to keep getting my research grants from left-wing foundations.”

   But that would have too much bearing on reality too.

   And if there was a variation in Mars’ orbit causing this, wouldn’t that information look more credible coming from the PLANETARY PHYSICIST, not the CLIMATE SCIENTIST? The PLANETARY PHYSICIST didn’t even mention it- sound like the climate scientist is making up excuses to me.

7. “Wobbles in the orbit of Mars are the main cause of its climate change in the current era,” Oxford’s Wilson explained.

   This sounds too much like an inconvenient truth to me.
