[quote user="sfcouple"][quote user="Bucyrus"][quote user="sfcouple"][quote user="alphas"] <p>MP173:</p><p>To answer your one question, the temperatures on the planets where we have conducted probes are also increasing. This is no surprise since all of the planets are expected to feel the effects of the increased solar flare activity that has taken place on our sun in recent years. Science has been able to calculate a history of our sun's solar flare activity from long years gone by (thanks to computers) and it does coincide with the warmer periods during both recorded history and before (determined by geological and similar studies). Although you'd never know it by the way that most news media keep reporting the currrent warm period as totally the fault of man, the continuing main differences among the true climatologists is over whether or not the solar flare activity is really "the" reason for our planet's warming or whether or not there are other factors that are being caused by man this time around. There's lots of theories on the later but no one has been able to prove anything yet, despite what Al Gore and similar claim. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Actually the connection between solar flares and the current climate change has been analyzed quite carefully and there does not appear to be a significant direct correlation. I'm using the following reference in making this statement: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005/07/the-lure-of-solar-forcing/</p><p>And this particular website (realclimate.org) is an excellent resource that discusses a voluminous amount of climate issues in a factual manner, without an apparent political agenda. This website will probably answer most, if not all, questions one might have on this controversial issue. </p><p>Wayne </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Wayne,</p><p>Another excellent, objective reference with no political agenda on the subject is a book called, <em>UNSTOPPABLE GLOBAL WARMING EVERY 1,500 YEARS</em> by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery. You have probably read it considering that you have looked into this subject.</p><p>It is pure science, chock full of footnotes and references. The authors discuss historical trends, prehistoric evidence, species extinction, the role of water vapor, climate computer modeling, solar influence, how increasing CO2 affects plants, bleaching coral reefs, alternative and renewable energy, the Kyoto Protocol, and whether increasing CO2 increases temperature or the other way around. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>This is an excellent thread and there is no need to have it locked. Therefore my only comment will be: I generally research authors prior to reading any of thier publications. So I researched Singer, and his financial backers, and then decided not to read his book. </p><p>Wayne </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Why not just read what authors say and let their science stand on its own? Would that not be the scientific approach? How do you know that what you researched about Singer was not written by somebody who does not want you to hear Singer's ideas? </p>
