New Ice Age Theory
amigoro writes "Most believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle changes in Earth's orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles. According to one scientist, that is not the case. Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, has developed a model which hypothesizes a dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 or 41,000 years, exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth. The main problem with Milankovitch cycles is that they can't explain how the ice ages go from 100,000 year cycle to 41,000 year cycle. The cycles predicted by Ehlrich's model line up with the observations."
NOT GUILTY: I am NOT a Google SHILL !! If I were, I'd say so.
Could it be that the inner shells of the sun are bouncing a bit? Perhaps a resonance building up from fast "shell quakes" where localised fuel combinations are changing ?
Do not mock my vision of impractical footwear
The climate depends more on atmospheric composition than on any variation in the sun or even our proximity to it. That's why venus is hotter than mercury. I'm not trolling, I'm just really tired of assmunches promoting the idea that the climate is changing as part of a normal cycle or some such garbage.
Yes that's the same theory that has been proposed from the scientists at Oral Roberts University. God attached a dimmer switch to the sun so he can punish us with increasing temperatures.
... when God decides to turn the dimmer switch down to save electricity for the next miracle! Religion always provides an answer, not fucking scientists with their peer reviewed ideas.

Why would people be concerned with misleadnig grammar. Oh yea, I places jepordy on som of thier old theories and customs.
But nobody gives a rats ass when it is anti church, anti republican, or anti microsoft, or anti whatever is popular to bash nowadays.
Good god, (grief whatever). The guy is trying to claim the theory is corect not that he has some unprovable measn to conclude how the earth went through several histroical periods that might threaten the new religion of global warming and man's influence.

Making yourself look stupid while trying to make someone else look stupid? Two can play at that game!
Both of my grandfathers are dead. Neither were murdered. No human caused those deaths. Therefore, no human has caused any other death. Fact that climate change wasn't caused by people in the past doesn't mean we're not causing some now...
Look out!
