I live in Texas, and we have big skies and plenty of sunshine. It regularly gets hot here and always has.
We can have rapid temperature swings of thirty degrees within a matter of hours. Yesterday, Groundhog Day, we had frost in the morning and everyone had short sleeves and shorts in the afternoon. From freezing to 72 degrees. The woman in front of me at the post office had her skimpy tennis duds on.
Brilliant sunshine is what does this for us. Then, not being a scientist, and watching "The Universe" on cable last night, when they talked about Earth, they placed our planet within the atmosphere of the sun. Many phenomena in our skies are because of solar effects. Some are lovely and striking, such as Aurora Borealis, and others have effects on our climate.
The aurora is the result of the solar wind, and interaction with the gases with our magnetic field. Look it up your self. I am not a teacher nor am I a scientist, as said before.
Yet I dare think about these things.
At the same time, we are bombarded by these cosmic rays, which can... cause thunderstorms!
And thunderstorms come from...clouds.
The refrigerator door must have opened then, because a little light came on.
I know there is some researcher out there who posited that cosmic rays assist in cloud formation and said that the AGW people needed to include all this in their models. They in turn attacked his theory in a swarm of scorn and vituperation. His name is Svensmark as I recall and his clouds matter theory, according to the mad "scientists" who want to blame humanity for everything that happens, do not even think it worthy of study.
As we all know, the science is "settled," as if it were set in concrete. For my thinking, though, they put that concrete on their AGW theory's feet and have thrown it in the river.
Let's study the cloud formation and let's question everything and keep on doing it.
The La Nin~a part of the ENSO that we have just now is responsible for the terrible winter in the Northern Hemisphere, even the snow in London.
It is also why we are having a terrible drought in Texas right now. It has happened before, and it will happen again. Record heat in Australia--a climate effect that man did not cause--because they have these known cycles of such things down there.
But I still think the sun, which holds us captive to its influences has a much greater effect than the fleas infesting this planet. That is us.
And I mean it, these AGW types within science ARE mad scientists in the classic B-movie sense. Enough resources already. Go study something that matters or that we can do something about.
Why is common sense now the rarest of things?
