Aren't we supposed to flip magnetic poles soon? Any chance the beginning of this reoccurring phenomenon isn't starting to dump resistive heating into the system as gyroscopic forces of the current pole alignment are slowly overcome? I can't think this event wouldn't have a severe environmental signature, like.... http://www.michaelmandeville.com/polarmotion/spinaxis/vortex_correlations2.h tm
That is not to say green house gasses are not of extreme concern, but likewise why is CO2 getting the spot light from the scientific community and no one seems to be pulling the red flag on the more alarming and more impactful methane cathrate evaporation from the disappearing permafrost? In comparison, CO2 is almost laughable. Is this stuff just not sexy enough for mainstream science reporting? or does it just poke too many holes in darling socialist / income redistribution schemes like Kyoto for the pathological self-masochists of the world? -john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Vo]: Stoking the Furnace Maybe it's not us: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2003/0313irradiance.htm l http://tinyurl.com/qwwo7 "NASA STUDY FINDS INCREASING SOLAR TREND THAT CAN CHANGE CLIMATE Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the sun emits, during times of quiet sunspot activity, has increased by nearly .05 percent per decade, according to a NASA funded study."
