Snow in Tokyo today. It must be global warming!
April 17, 2010Solar cycle 24
April 16, 2010Spring has come to Sweden but observing the slowness with which ice melts on cloudy days, even with temperatures well above zero is just a reminder that surface air temperatures are much less effective in transferring heat to oceans than direct solar radiation.
There are fascinating indications that the current solar cycle (24) is very similar to solar cycle no.5 which started in January 1798. The inference is that the current minimum could resemble the Dalton minimum. The Landscheidt minimum it seems. http://www.landscheidt.info/
Does this tie in to the North Atlantic Oscillation which could have caused climate warming for the 30 years prior to 1998 and is now going to lead to 30 years of global cooling?
Volcanos and global warming
April 16, 2010k2p — knowledge to people
The ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano has disrupted air traffic across Northern Europe.
This is an intensity one volcano and puts the impact of man into perspective. It occurs to me that to believe (since there is insufficient evidence) that anthropogenic effects can overshadow clouds and solar effects on global warming is just a little arrogant.
