Army scientist: The sun is responsible for global warming.
Army scientist: The sun is responsible for global warming.
Dr. Bruce West, chief scientist of the Army Research Office’s mathematical and information science directorate, is arguing that global warming is “directly linked to…the short-term statistical fluctuations in the Sun’s irradiance and the longer-term solar cycles,” according to Wired:
In an advisory to bloggers entitled “Global Warming: Fact of Fiction [sic],” an Army public affairs official promoted a conference call with West about “the causes of global warming, and how it may not be caused by the common indicates [sic] some scientists and the media are indicating.”
As Wired notes, the position puts West at odds with the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which have all recognized mankind’s significant contribution to climate change.

June 3rd, 2008 at 4:06 pmShouldn’t that ead “disinformation?”
Yeah, the US Army. The last great bastion of global warming experts. Geez, what rock did this nitwit crawl out from under? The Sun? Thats the latest neocon lie to the planet? The sun is at fault?
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:07 pmDo they recognize the sun as the primary source of climate change? Like it has on all the other planets in our solar system.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:09 pmSo, warming is caused by the sun? And how much did we pay this guy to come to this profound conclusion? Sorry, just had fun parsing this. Solar involvement in global warming has already been debunked/minimized but this will buy these idiots more time to ignore the facts, recite the neocon climate creed and basically go on like nothing is happening.

June 3rd, 2008 at 4:10 pmAlso, does anyone know what good Dr. West’s religous affiliation is? I ask because I strongly suspect he’s some form of born-again and is rallying to spread the word before January. I’ve heard of last-ditch idiocy, but this is Amazing! I have great respect for an Information Science major, but really, this is yet another GWB Great Moment in Non-Science!!!

“directly linked to…the short-term statistical fluctuations in the Sun’s irradiance…”
Dr. West found dramatic flucuations in the Sun’s irradiance which occurred in 24 hour cycles.

June 3rd, 2008 at 4:20 pmThat’s a little like saying that rain is responsible for a leaky roof. It’s true that if a leaky roof isn’t fixed, rain can make the consequences quite unpleasant, but blaming the leaks on the rain is quite a stretch.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:20 pmVA Voter Says:

It is the IR radiation of the Earth that is trapped by greenhouse gases, not the Sun’s radiation (small % of IR)
Look at the moon:
No atmosphere = no greenhouse gases = no global warming but same solar radiation.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:21 pmBullshit. TSI Total Solar Irradiance has been stable since the the 1950s while global mean temperature has risen sharply in the last three decades

I don’t know. Are men emitting in Ur anus?
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:21 pm“Army scientist: The sun is responsible for global warming.”
It doesn’t take a scientist, rocket, army, or otherwise, to discover that fact! Just moon in the sun for a few minutes in the Arizona desert and your global will get warm and your butt burnt.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:22 pmWhy do wingnuts think that those of us in the mainstream believe that ONLY humans affect climate change?
Why do they have a such a difficult time understanding the concept that naturally-occurring climate change can be affected by human activity, and that this impact, though small, can be significant?
Nope, they don’t get that. They erect these haphazard straw men, accusing us of believing that climate change cannot occur without man.
Weird.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:24 pmYou can measure insolation (and more recently, solar output as well). No serious scientist has shown that insolation is responsible for observed temperature data.
Cheers,
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:24 pmWell, at least they’re not blaming the moon for global warming… Moonglow is not the problem. It’s funny, twenty, thirty or forty years ago, some folks were getting worried about the coming Ice Age… One supposes that we can’t have global warming and an Ice Age at the same time… That would be too confusing for folks to comprehend and respond to…

The “Oregon Petition,” was started in 1998 by physicist Frederick Seitz, past president of the National Academy of Science. The identical petition card was circulated again in early 2008 and Arthur Robinson is presenting the petition with 31,000 signatures in Washington DC on May 19, 2008[51] Critics point out that many of the signatories of the Petition lack a background in climatology[52][53] and that the petition itself mentions only “catastrophic heating” and not the broader issue of global warming.

A while back I checked that petition myself, randomly selecting about 40 or 50 names of the thousands of alleged “climate scientists”.
I didnt find one single climate scientist. Most of them were really obscure non-scientists, engineers or similar. Or they were scientists with absolutely no expertise in climate. For quite a few of the scientists I could only find a few (non-climate) papers dating back to the 1940s or 50s which likely meant they were deceased by now their names possibly used against their wishes.

June 3rd, 2008 at 4:51 pmHere in MN the snow actually makes it colder. Sometimes it’s so cold it doesn’t get warmer. If we get too much snow it gets really cold. When it gets really, really cold, I try to get warmer. The Sun is out everyday and it doesn’t get much warmer here. I think that proves that global warming isn’t caused by the Sun.

Data from the past forty years clearly shows that the Sun peaked in intensity in the mid-1980s and has been declining in solar activity ever since. With the Sun in a cycle that produces less heat, it is unlikely to be a factor in the Earth becoming warmer.

I got a lot a worldly goods that I’m pretty proud of, and I would be so envious if they fell into my neighbor’s hands… so is there a list somewhere that explains the Rapture baggage policy?
Dear Darling Daryll,
Are you sure global warming isn’t caused by hell being so close to the center of the planet?
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:42 pmSo, Daryll, you’re really just anticipating going skyward with a horde of naked chicks, right?
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:44 pmI thought God would charge $15.00 per bag, like the airlines..?
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:45 pmNo wordly materials. You will fly to God in the manner that you came into this earth, naked.
So the bag packing is really more of a mental excersise? Kinda like those desert island records deals?
P.S. Naked!?! Awesome! I’m so totally gonna sneak a look at Jessica Simpson on the way up!
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:45 pmSo let me see if I have this right…
A mathematician/computer specialist is trying to claim that he’s more qualified to make decisions about global warming than a sizeable number of the nation’s PhD recipients in the collective sciences pertaining to climate?!?
This would almost be laughable if it wasn’t such a poor reflection on what our country is becoming. Am I the only person who’s reminded of George Deutsch, the 20-something Bush administration appointee at NASA who hadn’t even officially graduated college (and had to resign for lying about it) and thought that he was sufficiently qualified to tell PhDs what they could and could not say about the Big Bang?!?

More likely, at the moment of your earthly demise, you’ll be startled to see that nothing exists afte…………..
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:46 pmAwight! D-bag in da HOWSE!
Back to his old form! We missed ya, Daryll! Glad you’re feeling yourself again.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 pm(Oops! Did I just make a “shaking the devil off” joke?)
Your sinful thoughts will keep you down here. Sin can add more unrighteous weight to your soul.
Don’t I know it… I have been trying to slim down my soul for some time know but I have these 10 lbs. that just will not stay off!
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:50 pmWhat’s your secret?
BTW- is God as big a fan of your practical attitude to caring for his planet as I am?
Hmmm. St D, I just checked and those pesky sexually devious spirits inside me are just laughing their asses off at you!
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:52 pmSome pretty weak ass Jeebutz binding, if you ask me.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:54 pmI have paperbacks that are bound better. Try reading some Conan of Cimmeria, Daryll. His adventures are bound to stimulate you.
Daryll Says:
I bind every sexually devious spirit that is in you, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
After you do that, send them over here… ;)

And I’m looking forward to the return of my foreskin.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:57 pmSo, Darryll, according to you, it’s just peachy-keen with God if you and the rest of His followers just say “Who cares?? Screw His creation! Pollute it, who gives a darn?”
Is that about right?
Hmmmm. If *I* were God, that attitude would seriously piss Me off, Darryll.
You might want to re-think that screw-the-earth sh*t.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:59 pmWhat is it with sex and Jesus and Daryll. Do you really think that’s Jesus that leaves you with a sore butt in the morning Daryll? You ever think that it could be Uncle Leonard having his way after the date drug kicks in?
All this time you are praying to Jesus and you should have been sucking up to Uncle Leonard.
So to speak.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:09 pmuh…saint Darryl is it? I think yopu should know. humans don’t fly.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:09 pmI bind every sexually devious spirit that is in you, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Daryll
I’ve never tried that Daryll, what’s it like, bondage and all?

June 3rd, 2008 at 7:23 pmAh now theres the old Daryll back for sure!
I tought it was cold in space. Will god give me a little slack if I want to bring along a sweater?

If he gets a sweater then I’m totally bringing a camera! Heaven is gonna look kick ass on my Myspace page!
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 pmCan a borrow your camera to get some pics of the naked chicks? I’ll loan you my sweater

Cool. Earth is gonna be a pretty nice place without “Christians” like you.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:41 pmThose Shaolin monks and assorted other ass kicking eastern religions seem way ahead on this whole gig. They have been flying around ever since Crouching Tiger.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 pmOn a related topic: Bruce Lee never had to fly around in weird poses in order to kick ass. What’s up with that?
That was a long time ago, dbadass. People couldn’t fly then. :)
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:46 pmBruce Lee never had to fly around in weird poses in order to kick ass. What’s up with that?
He did have to make really weird faces to kick ass… maybe that’s the first step to flying… if Heavy Metal guitarists start performing face-melting solos while flying we will know my theory is correct.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:53 pmI am thinking that Metal vocalists also have to do that weird think where they pose as if they are holding some sort of invisible mystical orb.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:55 pmI’d be happy just to be able to run up and down the bamboo trunks.

Funny…I challenge God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and everyone else to come to my door and tell me the secrets and stuff, but they never answer my call. Then again, why should I think my relationship problems are tied to me not showing enough affection for Jesus? Is he that petty? I didn’t know I needed to be bullied and beaten with the bible in-order to respect it. Then again, thinking the whole human race sprouted from two humans a couple of thousand years ago doesn’t make much mathematical sense either. I hope your bible has a built-in flotation device in-case of flooding on a global scale.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:05 pmI agree Nevar but when you can thrust one sword handling arm skyward like some sort of “Ultraman” (who btw: could do that cool shit when he crossed his arms)why do you need to run up and down stems?
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 pmI’m just something of a nature boy, that’s all…
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 pmI hear ya. Things have been slow lately but just becuase I have been busy. I did pick up Grey fox the other day but a skipped a birding trip with some buddies and they picked up 108 species in 24 hours. Dumb move on my part.
Hey cool maybe Crusty Old Bastard can pull that out of context to argue my dumbness
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:30 pmI had an injured hybrid black headed / rose breasted grosbeak (male)hopping around the fountain last week.
Being from the East, I was trying to figure out why a seeming rose breasted was here in New Mexico. Only when it spread it’s wings could I see orange feathers all around it’s shoulders.
Peterson’s solved the mystery for me, making mention of the hybrid. Still way out of it’s element, habitat wise, it could not fly, it hopped upwards to get water, and around the yard after seeds and such.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:39 pmCool but what became of it. I assume you did not intervene. It has been some years since I stomped the SW. I really need to do a Big Bend or Copper Canyon trip but I am trying to save some dough and I think I might want to wait till my girls are old enough to be more involved. Trinidad and Tobago are still a must bird that I haven’t done yet as well.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:53 pmIt was only there for a day, I only intervene if one hits the slider and I have to revive it.
June 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 pmFire season is off to a slow start here, I haven’t gotten away much, and even on my day off I’m on call and can’t go more than a few miles away.
The “college crew” is coming back for another week, tomorrow, I really enjoy working with them, they absorb and dispense knowledge with equal measure.
Oh great. Next will be Bush blaming gay marriage on the Moon. After that, Cheney will blame Venus for terrorism. After that, Karl Rove will blame Pluto for the Valerie Plame outing.
Anyone else want to take a stab at it?!
June 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 pm.
It’s good to see a little bit more sanity. The truth is starting to come out. Over one third of climate scientists are skeptical that any global warming is caused by humans. Last week 9,000 scientists signed a petition stating that the debate is not closed, man-made GW is not settled science. It is not nearly as proven as ‘the earth is round’.

I despise the argument that it actually matters whether someone thinks it’s a natural cycle or manmade.
It was politicians who started the whole “global warming is real!” craze. Regardless which one you believe in, chances are you agree that the weather pattern is different and therefore changing.
What can we do? How about we change our ways for a wiser way of living. Oh look that means we get rid of all the crap people think causes Global warming, AND we’re better prepard in case the weather decides to REALLY get crazy. Lookit that. Amazing.
I think people just like to fight over things instead of actually doing something that matters, sometimes.
(I’m a bit cynical this morning *cough* ’scuse moi)
>_> also, it does not take a rocket scientist to conclude that the sun is a major factor of the weather. A little skeptism is healthy, and I’ll grant you, a little paranoia’s healthy too. Thinking is good. And it’s refreshing to see a dissenting voice on this topic, for me.

These are the first and last sentences of your post.

In between there was little to indicate what it is you are trying to say.

No, but I saw in a movie that monkeys do. So, I guess that heaven will be full of monkeys and Darryl flinging their feces at each other.
I don’t think I want to go.

June 4th, 2008 at 11:04 amTo all the friggin bible-thumpers: don’t you think God, Jesus, the dove, whoever, might give you a faster ticket to heaven if you showed the least bit of respect to nature? After all, you do believe that it was created by the big boss right? Or did it come out of someone’s rib a couple thousand years ago? Geez.
June 4th, 2008 at 12:57 pmi meant respect to ‘earth’.
