Study Says Cosmic Rays Do Not Explain Global Warming

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."

Common Sense

[COMON$]

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

More propaganda

[genner]

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

Oh yeah?

[dk90406]

What about the Human Torch from Fantastic Four. He is causing it all, you know...

But there has recently been a rise in piracy.

Say it with me...

[Tetsujin]

Correlation is not explanation.

Give that duche Al Gore another prize!

[Phizzle]

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 /.

You're right, there is no causal link between the giant ball of fire and the temperature on earth.

And it's felt pretty cold this week

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.

[C0vardeAn0nim0]

and this year was the coldest on over a decade, or so i heard.

coincidence ?

Al Gore, is that you?

Re:So?

[mhall119]

Or, to use a car analogy, it's like saying that GM doesn't have a financial problem because their stock was up yesterday.

Re:Cry me a frozen river

[wclacy]

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

Re:Great question.

[enharmonix]

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.

Re:Global Warming Heretics

[Teresita]

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?

Re:Common Sense

[bunratty]

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

[thedonger]

Manbearpig.

[Samah]

Here is the data showing the CO2 manipulation, from the posting by Dee Norris.

And of course Dee Norris knows this first-hand because his brother Chuck is the real cause for global warming/climate change. Sea levels are actually rising because of all the people Chuck has triple-kicked in.

Re:Common Sense

[sumdumass]

Don't you dare suggest that global warming stopped.

Hell, this study on cosmic rays which was completed before we found out that the hole in the magnetosphere actually works in reverse and let in more cosmic rays on the other side, is definitive proof that global warming is still active. There will be a vote tomorrow and the consensus will declare the science settled with no need to ever visit it again.

But carbon emissions have gone up every year

[unassimilatible]

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.

Global Warming a Hoax

[reidiq]

Global warming is nothing but fabricated lies with a purpose to destroy capitalism. It's pretty freaking cold this year, I blame global warming!

Re:Common Sense

[dbrutus]

Oh, they'll hate us about the same either way. We're the adult figure in their geopolitical lives. Try this experiment next time you find yourself stuck at a dinner party with some anti-american european. Ask that person to construct a coordinated response that has nothing to do with america. They just can't. Within half a minute they reflexively go back to sneering at the US. It really is quite pathetic how we're their indispensable villain and excuse why they can't actually get anything done.
