Solar maximum seems far more likely, although artificial climate change probably helped some. Chemtrailing may reduce sun absorption during the day, but it also traps heat in a greenhouse effect during the night. Either way, we are absolutely fucked now. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20348387 United States08/05/2012 10:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Thousands of fish are dying in the Midwest as the hot, dry summer dries up rivers and causes water temperatures to climb in some spots to nearly 100 degrees. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9306058 About 40,000 shovelnose sturgeon were killed in Iowa last week as water temperatures reached 97 degrees. Nebraska fishery officials said they've seen thousands of dead sturgeon, catfish, carp, and other species in the Lower Platte River, including the endangered pallid sturgeon. And biologists in Illinois said the hot weather has killed tens of thousands of large- and smallmouth bass and channel catfish and is threatening the population of the greater redhorse fish, a state-endangered species. So many fish died in one Illinois lake that the carcasses clogged an intake screen near a power plant, lowering water levels to the point that the station had to shut down one of its generators.

Are the other planets in the solar-system warming at a similar rate? If so, then it is the sun. If not... ? Truth is, the darkest days for humanity have yet to materialize, and while man-made climate change or "global warming" seems to be the culprit... It is only a reflection of mankind's arrogance in assuming that they can control their climate and environment. There are forces at work here that are beyond your ability to understand or comprehend.

You're right, proof was very simple to find: “Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.“ From MIT on Pluto “the average surface temperature of the nitrogen ice on Pluto has increased slightly less than 2 degrees Celsius over the past 14 years.” Since Pluto is moving further away from the Sun and continuing to warm despite that fact, it indicates that something doesn’t fit into “Solar Constant” dismissal theories. From Space.com on Jupiter: “The latest images could provide evidence that Jupiter is in the midst of a global change that can modify temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit on different parts of the globe.” These snippets are from 2006-2007. HOWEVER, to imply that man's impact on this planet has not caused measurable climate change is a falsehood on the opposite end of the extreme. I believe it's ultimately miniscule compared to solar maximum, but to deny its existence outright is dangerously ignorant and leads to an attitude of irresponsible behavior. Perhaps lethally polluted oceans and the ability to turn the earth's surface to glass is beyond your ability to understand or comprehend. Would the utter extinction of our ecosystem mean much in the grand scheme of the universe? Absolutely not. But if you think our actions as humans are irrelevant to the ecosystem that sustains us, you need a serious calibration of perspective. |

The temperature measuring units are poorly placed and have been shown to have a bias. A 2000 year study was recently completed and the long term trend on the temperature is down. Many scientists now dispute AGW after seeing the real data. If nothing else, we are looking at a very strong cooling trend about to take over the debate. People screaming global warming are dead wrong!!! |

The commission said the fish kill was located near the Logan-Yell county line in western Arkansas. In his book, "Between Two Ages," Brzezinski wrote: "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." MuzzleBreak |
