Study Says Cosmic Rays Do Not Explain Global Warming

Posted by timothy on from the but-millions-of-illuminaria-do dept.

flock2000 writes "A new study conducted by Norweigan researchers finds (again) that changes in cosmic rays most likely do not contribute to climate change. Previously, other researchers have claimed to have found a link between cosmic rays and surface temperatures."

    Everyone knows global warming is caused by His Noodliness hugging the earth even closer.

      If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

      I wish Global warming was more than just a fairy tale. I am sick and tired of shoveling snow. Last winter was the coldest winter in a long time. This winter is looking about the same. We have had about 2 feet of snow in the last 3 days.

      Yes, of course. But do you know of any glaciers in the ocean? I can't think of any.

    Nothing but lies from the people making money off cosmic rays.

    Solar flares DO effect temperatures, and that has been consistently downplayed by the humanity-loathing environazis in their ongoing duchbaggery crusade for world luddism. But hey, lets not start any religious debates on /.

    Wow, that story about where snow comes from is almost as far fetched as global warming.

    I strongly recommend Michael Crighton's State of Fear. Well researched, cites sources, and a plain good read on top of everything. It may not change your mind, but it might at least shed some light on why some of us ostriches are not so Chicken Little about temperature fluctuations.

    Why is climate change so bad anyway? When has the climate not changed? Do we know what would happen to the genetic diversity of animals if the climate stopped changing? Why is promoting a static climate called a "progressive" (experimentalist) issue and not the ultimate conservative (traditionalist) issue?

  7. But carbon emissions have gone up every year by unassimilatible · · Score: 4, Funny

    We have more carbon and methane than ever in the atmosphere, yet temps are down? This means there must be another variable in global temperatures than carbon emissions.

    So more carbon, yet lower temps. Hmm.
