Perhaps because the sun is getting less frisky:
Researchers in the US may have discovered further evidence that the Sun is heading towards an extended period of quiet activity, the like of which has not been seen since the 17th century. The impact this may have on climate is poorly understood but it would be good news for satellite communications, which would continue to avoid the harsher impacts of space weather.
Mostly ignored in the whole global warming debate is that large, hot, yellow thing which hangs in the sky from dawn until dusk. Global warming enthusiasts have launched a host of reasons for rising global temperatures, and even more excuses for why temperatures have been flat or declining for about ten years now – and all these discussions have ignored the sun. Well, the sun is checking in – and after a period of high activity, we’ve been heading in to a period of low activity. Amazing the way that works, huh?
I’ve noted over at NRO’s The Corner that a new phrase has entered the global warming lexicon – “climate stability”, this being coupled with talk of how global warming will have different effects on different parts of the world. In other words, “the weather will be different, but we global warming people will pick and choose out of the daily weather whatever we believe buttresses our case…and anyone who picks out contrary bits of weather will be told that they don’t know the difference between ‘weather’ and ‘climate'”.
UPDATE: Beware of the Branch Carbonians!
UPDATE II: Are the global warming advocates hiding the climate data?
