Interesting the way the last glacial period ended around the time that Solar activity declined. Don't you think? Haven't you been saying that the Sun gets hotter and warms everything up when solar activity is higher?

What? The Sun's activity stopped? Who said that?

The researchers around Sami K. Solanki stress the fact that solar activity has remained on a roughly constant (high) level since about 1980 - apart from the variations due to the 11-year cycle - while the global temperature has experienced a strong further increase during that time.
edit on 6/25/2013 by Phage because: (no reason given)
Pardon me for asking but does Willson claim that an increase of TSI of 0.005% accounts for the rate of warming that has been seen?
It is happening not only with his research, even in these forums we see everyday how many members just don't want to believe any of the evidence that contradicts their AGW religion, and a religion it is.
Unprecedented? But the article you posted shows that Solar activity was about the same 8,000 years ago as it is now.
We also do know that the sun's activity for the past 80-100 years had reached unprecedented levels,
But isn't the size of the heliosphere determined by Solar activity. If, as you say, we are at unprecedented levels of Solar activity in the past 80-100 years that means that the heliosphere was also at "unprecedented" levels of size (and according to you, strength). This means that our "shields" against interstellar radiation are stronger. BTW, do you have any evidence that there has been an increase of interstellar dust within the Solar System?
Second, not only does the heliosphere contracts, it also weakens allowing more energy and matter, in the form of interstellar dust, to enter from outside the Solar System.
Not really. There is some speculation about it.
Really? it hasn't been demonstrated by scientists that moving into different regions of the galaxy, and the energies/matter we encounter will have an effect on Earth?...
Right. We have not been able to closely observe other planets for long enough to proclaim that any of them are experiencing anything unusual.
And it is not like we are seeing the other planets with different orbits, and distances also undergoing dramatic Climate Changes...right?
No, it has not been shown that is the case.
Not even when it has been shown that the main scientists, and other prominent people, behind the AGW hoax have been caught lying, posting and publishing false data knowingly, and overall undermining real science in favor for the AGW hoax which has turned into a religion and a political tool...
Yes, as seen in the AA index, while the global Kp index does not show such a change.
They clearly state that the following information, in between the commas, is not documented in that particular article but shows an overall level of magnetic disturbance increasing.

The second amendment would seem to be somewhat irrelevant.
I guess you haven't seen the latest report from Willson.
First, it has been an increase of 0.05% per decade, not just 0.005%.
I know what fluctuations are, thank you. You have said that Solar activity has been at unprecedented high levels. Fluctuations aside, that means that the heliosphere would be more robust.
So, you still don't understand what fluctuations are? Let me help you with that.
You seem to really enjoy creating straw men. I didn't say that.
Oh, I see, so the first law of energy ceases to exist when you say so. It's not like the Earth, and the other planets receive energy from outside sources like the Sun, or energy and matter from outside the Solar System... You seem to think that energy disappears...
How do you know those changes are unusual for those planets? We have detailed climate records for Earth. We have no such records for other planets.
causing dramatic Climate Changes and dramatic weather events in at least 10 planets and moons with an atmosphere that we have looked at and they are, or have been all undergoing changes similar to those we see in Earth's climate and weather...
You've posted the same things many times. It doesn't make your interpretation of it any more correct. Your use of large fonts doesn't really help much either, btw.
BTW, if you are going to discuss the topic at hand at least read the information provided in the thread, thank you.

So, pretty much INSULTS are your proof...
I guess for some "insults" qualify as "an intelligent discussion"...
If you are not going to provide "facts" stay out of the discussion.
BTW, thanks for the insults, it shows how much of a religion this topic has become for a lot of people...

Wow, that's a lot of information. So you claim "every planet" in your title - what about uranus, neptune, mercury, not to mention all the other moons in the solar system? Are they all warming, too?
I guess my real question is - why do you *not* believe that AGW is real? You've cherry-picked a nice bit of data here that probably really doesn't add up to much in a desperate attempt to "prove" that AGW is bogus, while a vast majority of scientists who've studied this far much more than you tell us that AGW is indeed real. Do you not believe in science?
Ok... First of all, you actually think that making such a generalized statement, based on lies and exaggerations, that you can just ignore, or dismiss the evidence provided?... Phew... I do guess that ignorance is indeed a blessing for some...
I will get to the other planets, but first let me address your last myopic argument, and question about "do you not believe in science"?...
First of all, every piece of information I have given in this thread comes from SCIENTISTS, and their scientific research.

Why do you ignore the likelihood that what is observed on other planets are seasonal changes?

Democratising Global Governance:
The Challenges of the World Social Forum
by
Francesca Beausang
ABSTRACT
This paper sums up the debate that took place during the two round tables organized by UNESCO within the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre (25/30 January 2001). It starts with a discussion of national processes, by examining democracy and then governance at the national level. It first states a case for a "joint" governance based on a combination of stakeholder theory, which is derived from corporate governance, and of UNESCO's priorities in the field of governance. As an example, the paper investigates how governance can deviate from democracy in the East Asian model. Subsequently, the global dimension of the debate on democracy and governance is examined, first by identification of the characteristics and agents of democracy in the global setting, and then by allusion to the difficulties of transposing governance to the global level.

Abstract
According to the variation pattern of the solar magnetic field polarity and its relation to the relative sunspot number, we established the time series of the sunspot magnetic field polarity index and analyzed the strength and polarity cycle characteristics of the solar magnetic field. The analysis showed the existence of a cycle with about a 22-year periodicity in the strength and polarity of the solar magnetic field, which proved the Hale proposition that the 11-year sunspot cycle is one-half of the 22-year solar magnetic cycle. By analyzing the atmospheric temperature field, we found that the troposphere and the stratosphere in the middle latitude of both the northern and southern hemispheres exhibited a common 22-year quasicycle in the atmospheric temperature, which is believed to be attributable to the 22-year solar magnetic cycle.
Here, a leaked email from Phil Jones:
“I’ve been told that IPCC is above national FOI Acts. One way to cover yourself and all those working on the IPCC 5th Assessment Report would be to delete all e-mails at the end of the process. Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we get – and has to be well hidden.
[UPDATE 2 11/30: Here are several remarkable statements from climate scientists, one from the emails showing Kevin Trenberth calling for Chris Landsea to be fired for holding the wrong views and and a comment today from Gavin Schmidt justifying gatekeeping in climate science on political grounds. With comments like that, who needs emails?;-)]
