Everyone has heard all of the rhetoric about this global warming that is supposedly happening. You know, all of us evil westerners with our SUV’s, are causing this planet to be destroyed because of our over indulgence and waste. People like Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, have given the liberal mind yet another reason to hate America and the West. But, did you also hear that global warming is also occurring on Mars and other planets. It seems that Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto all have warmed at the same time as Earth has warmed. If global warming is man-made, where are the polluting factories and vehicles on Mars and the other planets? Just maybe, this is just a natural cycle of our universe that the Creator has set in place. After all, God’s act of creation is easy to find in the Bible. Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. If this is denied, all that one is left with is human arguments that will give you no real answers or comfort. Denial of this leads to a futile attempt at anything to prolong this life and to escape the inevitable promise of God, except the real truth.
When we look at this earth and the other planets that are experiencing this warming what is it that is the common element of all of them? Is it human and Martian activity that is causing the crisis? Not likely at least in the Martian environment. The only common element of both is the SUN. The sun has cycles just like everything in nature. Just like in 1645 and continuing through 1715, there were no observed sunspots. This is the period known as the Little Ice Age. This, at a time when human impacts on climate would have been hardly anything. This is one of the longest solar minimums recorded.
Sunspot activity has been shown to a have direct affect on temperatures and the amount of sunlight hitting the earth. There has been a recent downturn in sunspot activity since one of the most active ones ever over the last 70 years. In 2008 there were 266 days scattered throughout the year without sunspots, and in 2007 there were 163 days without sunspots. These are the #2 and #9 fewest sunspots years seen since 1911. So far this year there has been 243 spotless days. The typical solar minimum cycle (few sunspots) is normally 485 days before the swing to maximum. The current minimum is at 754 days. All of this shows us that the natural ebb and flow set in place by God is the cause of our weather.
It is interesting to note that the term ‘global warming’ is being replaced by the term ‘climate change’. As global warming is being more and more debunked, the new term seems more palatable to the masses. You do know what climate change is don’t you? It is called the WEATHER. The arrogance and audacity of certain people, led by Al Gore, to suggest that ‘changes in the weather’ are a crisis. Without exception, every place I have lived, the locals always have a saying that goes, ‘if you don’t like the weather just wait an hour. It will change”. Weather is, if nothing else, in a constant state of change. That is why we watch the weather on tv and that is why it is so hard to predict. It constantly changes.
Another thing you won’t hear much of on the news these days is that “global warming” halted about ten years ago, and surface temperatures have been falling for seven years. Remember, the very first Earth Day in the early 70’s had signs that said, “Stop Global Cooling”. My, we humans are a fickle bunch. Being tossed to and fro depending on the political whim of the day. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself. There is a lot of information out there. An excellent resource is www.spaceweather,com for tracking sunspots and other space events. Concerning science and sensible public policies another resource is http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org
