Cosmic Ray Intensity Reaches Highest Levels In 50 years
An anonymous reader writes "A NASA probe found that cosmic ray intensities in 2009 had increased by almost 20 percent beyond anything seen in the past 50 years. Such cosmic rays arise from distant supernova explosions and consist mostly of protons and heavier subatomic particles — just one cosmic ray could disable unlucky satellites or even put a mission to Mars in jeopardy."
Yet more proof of global warming
Such cosmic rays arise from distant supernova explosions and consist mostly of protons and heavier subatomic particles â" just one cosmic ray could disable unlucky satellites or even put a mission to Mars in jeopardy."
And don't forget they cause global warming too! Things are about to get much, much worse.
I mean, this is even better than sunspots!
HOW TO BE A WORTHLESS, VILE, AMERICAN YARD-APE!!!!
Slink around, shuffling your feet and bobbing your neck like the lazy retard you are.
Walk down the middle of the street because you don't know what a sidewalk is for.
Hang out at carwashes and mini-marts because everybody knows these are the best places to be a dope, I mean dope.
If you're a nigger bitch, shit three nigger babies into the world before 17 years of age. This assures that welfare money will support you, so your nigger men have more time to commit crimes.
And give REAL honest black people a bad name.
Oh yes, make sure each nigger baby has a different father.
Bastardize the English language in the name of nigger culture.
Make sure that several terms have multiple meanings and others have ambiguous meanings and that only 50% of nigger words are even complete words. Real niggers will know what you're trying to say.
As a culture, make sure there are always more blacks in prison than in college at any given time.
Hang out in packs of 10 to 15 and make sure everyone acts as annoying as possible. This helps to promote nigger individuality.
Always talk loud enough so everyone in the 'hood can fucking hear you, and if they are niggers, they will know what your saying, bro.
Wear clothes that are 10 sizes too big, making sure the pants hang off your ass.
Park at least 5 junk cars in your yard while being careful not to use the driveway. It's OK to abandon them in the street as long as it's in front of someone else's crib.
Exaggerate every motion, every tonal inflection and grab your dick a lot.
Do drugs, sell drugs, make drugs. Okay, don't REALLY do this, but it IS what niggers do.
Turn your backyard into a junk yard. If you don't have a backyard, turn your mother's into a junk yard.
Travel around leaching off relatives, friends, salvation armies.
Drink cheap wine and malt liquor every day, forgetting that "malt liquor" is just fortified cheap beer.
If you're a nigger buck: fuck anything that moves, no matter how ugly she is. After two 40oz, even the ugliest, fattest nigger bitch will look good.
Be charitable and covet fat, ugly white chicks. After all, they're niggers too. They can't help being so undesirable to white men that they have to fraternize with black dudes on a 20/20 trip. And white ho's are a special trophy too, especially the not so ugly ones.
Spray paint everything in sight with scribbles that mean nothing to white people but mean things to fellow niggers (except niggers from another hood who will probably go after you for tresspassing on their turf).
Use the term "motherfucker" in every sentence. It's one of the most versatile words in the nigger language, being a noun, verb, adjective and complete mini-sentence in event you run out of thoughts.
Stop in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic to converse with fellow niggers and have complete disregard for everyone else.
Overcharge customers at Taco Bell and pocket the difference.
Drive your car while slouched so low that you can barely see over the wheel (gangsta drivin').
Get a job under affirmative action. Then sit around all day pretending that you earned the position and that the other co-workers respect you. Whenever you fuck up, scream "racism!" & hope you get enough Generation X liberals in the jury.
Never, I mean NEVER, take any responsibility for your actions. Always blame others including Asians, Latinos, Mexicans, and especially Whites for your sorry ass stupid lives.
Be sure to get a dog, tie it up in the cold and mud and neglect it until it dies. Then start all over again. Cash must be used because you long ago fucked up your credit and checking account.
Cram 5 generations into a two room government apartment and still be able to neglect your kids.
Then you too can b
...and I farted.
Sorry.
...that man-made global warming is a ridiculous liberal myth.
Clearly we need more energy-efficient stars.
Don't blame the stars. How is Al Gore going to make money off of that.
Your research is a little old. try finding some newer research to back up your arguments. Of course not many people are working on this hypothesis. Scientists are very busy cherry picking dendro-proxies to make it look like recent warming is unprecidented. They don't have much time for solar variance.
None of the global warming projections given over the last 20 years have come close to meeting reality. They have all either overstated the warming (by hundreds of percent in many cases) or missed the global cooling we have and will continue to experience.
They haven't changed their understanding, they've just pushed the forecast horizon out so they can't be proven wrong by reality (again) so quickly.
You're right. The global warming fraternity takes ignorance to new levels, cherry picking data points and weaving them into a threadbare theory without bothering to do the second half of the scientific method, namely generate predictions and check them against reality. Epic fail.
Imagine, if you like, that we just don't know enough about the system to say one way or the other whether cosmic rays influence low cloud cover? Now that isn't such a hard thing to do, is it? It's similar to imagining that we don't know how mountain ranges form, what causes earthquakes, or how volcanoes form. Obviously there are thousands of peer reviewed papers around in various areas of scientific endevour that are wrong. For example, all those geology papers published pre-plate tectonics, or all of those papers published in medical journals about the causes of stomach ulcers, pre-discovery of a certain type of bacterium. Well, I for one don't think the science is EVER settled. CERN certainly think there's an issue worth investigating (the CLOUD experiment isn't cheap).
On the point of the difference between the two papers, this is easy to see. From the conclusions:
In fact, the effect is noticed around 7 days after the event. It is not yet understood why this is the case. Further research is needed and is planned but if they took your attitude, it wouldn't get funding or take place at all. As I keep saying in these types of discussion, the "team" warmists have all the funding, even though much of their research is bollocks. This is hardly surprising; they peer review each others papers, use each others data (without archiving it for replication) and cite each other all the time, as Wegman discoverd when he did a statistical network analysis of their inter-relationships. If you've read and understood the criticisms of Steig et al (for example), you'll see how far you can get in climate science with a Principle Component algorithm, some data cherry picking and a few friends either too stupid or too corrupt to challenge your assertions.
With the scary discovery of Steve McIntyre, last weekend, that one of the Global Warming foundation papers (from 2000) resulted from Briffa et al. cherry-picking data, you can declare Global Warming dead. It was never quite alive, though... Check it out at climateaudit.org Ecotretas
All you need to know about the Bush administration is that the tax code quadrupled while that monkey inhabited the big chair. He promised to simplify the tax code before he was elected, and obfuscated it beyond all reason after. To what end? To allow corporate criminals to keep more of their money! A few paltry dollars for the poor here and there to confuse the issue, and he could just swim home on a river of cash at the end of his period of "service".
P.S. A non-plug-in parallel hybrid, which is to say everything you can actually buy, has a higher lifetime energy cost than a turbo diesel even before you take battery recycling into account, because of the parallel drive trains and the batteries themselves. Hybrids are a boondoggle designed to transfer huge sums of money between hands in front and at the expense of the people.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
