I think Shaviv and his colleagues will eventually be awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. But the politics for that to happen anytime some are not favorable. The travel of our solar system through the spiral arms of the our galaxy is in excellent agreement with the paleo temperature record...

Of course, this is entirely consistent with what Nir Shaviv has been telling us. I think he is on the right track.

It seems to be a good idea to look for cleaner sources of energy. And although the push to lower CO2 emissions may not be justified by the global warming science which seems hopelessly defective, it will nevertheless result in developing alternatives to more polluting sources of energy from...

Your getting a little confused. Just repeat what I wrote and try not to put words in my mouth. I was just responding to what you wrote originally: "I need less energy to warm up the interior of an automobile up to some temp. if the wavelength of that energy changes from reflection and can't...

It doesn't mean your a bad person, to use a Trumpism, if you don't understand this stuff. Most people don't. Life will will still go on for you. And you'll still be able to heat your house . Just don't forget to pay your utility bills.

I'm not on the "denialist camp". Where did you get that idea. There is very good evidence that the Northern Hemisphere is in a warming phase. Much less sure about the Southern Hemisphere. But I'm quite sure it has little or nothing to do with changes in CO2 concentration. Your confusing two...

You got Al Gore in the Cockpit. What could go wrong. :D

You need exactly the same energy to warm your house whether it is insulated or not. You just need more total energy to get it up to the temperature you want if it isn't insulated because while you are heating your house you're also heating up the outside. The squirrels will appreciate that. X...

No , you need more energy. The additional energy is supplied by the sun. You forgot about the sun. Of course the Suns energy is free, if that's what you mean. So you don't need to go out and buy a heater, you get to use the suns energy for nothing. Kind of bargain I would say, unless it gives...

You need more energy unless your car or greenhouse is undergoing a nuclear reaction in which matter is being converted to energy. Then you will need more matter because your car will weigh less after it heats up. :D If this happens to you, definitely let FOX News know. The additional energy...

I agree, by the way. But I wouldn't use the word "offensive," I would say "ridiculous". And of course the models have proved over and over again to be ridiculous. Will they someday stop being ridiculous? I suppose they might, but that seems a long way off. Of course from the getgo the models...

Re urban heat island effects, I'm still there as a major contributor to localized surface temperature. And it is one of the features that makes land based temperature monitoring so uncertain as only a very few monitoring stations have not changed their local environment significantly over the...

I don't necessarily disagree with you, however Nir Shaviv does. In this instance I have to defer to him because of his scientific training, experience, and expertise. What Shaviv is telling us from his research is that there is a very demonstrable short cycle associated with the regular...

Indeed, but nevertheless it's much more important, over time, as a greenhouse gas than CO2. And it's albedo effect from cloud cover is also important. Apparently what we really should pay attention to is the sun, unless of course it is the Earth's climate that is controlling the Sun. ;)

I think that with a science background you will find Shaviv's work fascinating.

I don't have access to the full paper at home, but I note their attribution in the abstract is to greenhouse gases rather than CO2. That would be a reference mainly to water vapor.

I have seen no evidence to suggest that Shaviv would fall into that category. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nir_Shaviv And thanks for correcting my butchering of Miskolczi's last name spelling. I am rotten at Anglicizing Hungarian.

https://www.ias.edu/ideas/2015/shaviv-milky-way As anyone who has read my posts knows, I am a critic of the science backing the Hansen Hypothesis that Anthropomorphic CO2, if unabated, is going to cause catastrophic global warming. I strongly favor joining the Paris Accord and alternative...

Thank you for an intelligent post. I won't argue with any of this because it's reasonable. You stated, "The carbon cycle takes years unlike the water cycle." Although this statement, so far as I know, is correct, it should not be taken as an endorsement of the original guesses as to the dwell...

Perhaps the conclusion is correct, perhaps not, but god help us if this sort of lame reasoning is representative of that that goes into making policy decisions. The Northern Hemisphere is warming, particularly in the northern most part. The Southern Hemisphere is not warming significantly and...
