Solar Wind At 50-Year Low: NASA
WASHINGTON -- Data from the Ulysses spacecraft, a joint NASA-European Space Agency mission, show the sun has reduced its output of solar wind to the lowest levels since accurate readings became available. The sun's current state could reduce the … [Read more...] about Solar Wind At 50-Year Low: NASA
Sun Baking on Low: New Data from Solar Probe Ulysses
The solar wind — a stream of charged particles ejected from the sun's upper atmosphere at 1 million miles per hour — is significantly weaker, cooler and less dense than it has been in 50 years. And for the first time in about a century, the sun went … [Read more...] about Sun Baking on Low: New Data from Solar Probe Ulysses
Why Do Most Climate Skeptics Accept ‘The Consensus’ that Humans are the Principal Source of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels? (Part 1)
WE have all heard about the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Along with most people, I have accepted that this is mostly due to the burning of fossil fuels. After-all, this is the accepted view, even for most so-called climate … [Read more...] about Why Do Most Climate Skeptics Accept ‘The Consensus’ that Humans are the Principal Source of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels?
