The Other Climate Theory

September 12, 2011 By jennifer

IN an address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1900, Lord William Thomson Kelvin said, “There is nothing new to discover in physics now.  All that remains is more and more precise measurements.”

Then along came Albert Einstein.

More recently and closer to home, economist John Quiggin, has claimed, “There is no longer any serious debate among climate scientists about either the reality of global warming or about the fact that it is substantially caused by human activity.”

Then along came Jasper Kirkby.

The research effort lead by Kirkby at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, indicates that galactic cosmic rays can very significantly enhance cloud formation – by up to a factor of ten.

According to global warming theory, cloud formation is in essence a response to temperature change, with temperature change over the last 100 years apparently driven by human activity.

The research effort at CERN could prove global warming theory, and in particular the dependent General Circulation Models, somewhat deficient.  Indeed it is increasingly possible that the small amount of global warming over the last 100 years has all been due to extra-terrestrial galactic activity… or something else entirely.

And the recent findings by Jasper Kirkby are published as a letter to Nature on August 25, 2011, ‘Role of sulphuric acid, ammonia and galactic cosmic rays in atmospheric aerosol nucleation.’

    Aah the trusted go to site for all my science news >/sarcasm<. How’s that Italian cold fusion you reported on a few months ago? I seem to recall that it ought to have been a commercial reality by now?

    “>/sarcasm<. How’s that Italian cold fusion you reported on a few months ago?"

    I'm surprised someone as smart as you hasn't been able to keep up to date all by themselves.

    But if you're to dumb to find a link, try here:

    The sky was dark this morning, when I raised my head.
    I stood at the window, clouds were my bane.
    Suddenly a sunbeam, thrilled me to my heart.
    It was the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.

    Yeah but let’s face it JM, you live in the cold north. Down here we are more likely to say, “I think I’ve never heard so loud the quiet message in a cloud.”

    Jasper Kirkby’s video is worth watching. Especially compared with some other videos of the same story:

    This Serbian paper “Forbush decreases – clouds relation in the neutron monitor era” download here http://www.astrophys-space-sci-trans.net/7/315/2011/astra-7-315-2011.pdf is equally interesting in backing the cloud effect.

    keep strong

    Hey Spanglers,

    I just didn’t want to be the one to tell Jen she spelled “Jasper” wrong.

    Jasper with two “K’s”, Jen. (I won’t tell anyone)

    OK, I’VE JUST FIXED THE WRONG SPELLING. THANKS. JEN

    Hey, I did the same thing over at Motl’s reference frame. Kirby just sounds better. More familiar.

    Sometimes I hit the g string with my trailing ring finger on a strum. Screws the sound all up.

    Anyway, it happens.

    Spangled drongo: This is the thing that was on the cusp of widespread commercialisation…. still debating whether it’s real or not …. wow.

    The problem isn’t with punting millions on technology which probably won’t work.
    The problem is with punting billions on wind and solar, which are flimsy, antiquated heaps of junk which definitely won’t work.
