“An essential role for remote stars in everyday weather on Earth has been revealed by an experiment at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen. It is already well-established that when cosmic rays, which are high-speed atomic particles originating in exploded stars far away in the Milky Way, penetrate the Earth‟s atmosphere, they produce substantial amounts of ions and release free electrons.
Now, results from the Danish experiment show that the released electronsplay a significant role in promotingthe formation of building blocks for cloud condensation nuclei, on which water vapor condenses to make clouds. Hence, a causal mechanism by which cosmic rays can facilitate the production of clouds in Earth‟s atmosphere has been experimentally identified for the first time.”

‘Active‟ sun →enhanced magnetic and thermal flux = solar wind→geomagnetic shieldresponse→less low-level clouds →less albedo (less heat reflected)→ warmer climate
Less active sun → reduced magnetic and thermal flux = reduced solar wind → geomagnetic shield drops→ galactic cosmic ray flux→more low-level clouds →More snow →more albedo (more heat reflected) →colder climate
That's how the bulk of climate change works
Coupled with sunspot peak frequencythere are cycles of global warming and cooling like waves in the ocean
Important Facts
Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas -~ 60 -98% of the greenhouse effect is due to water vapour in the atmosphere (jury still out)
CO2and other minor gasses account for the remainder
Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas
The most variable component of the atmosphere is water in its various phases such as vapour, cloud droplets, and ice crystals. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas.For these reasons and because the transition between the various phases absorb and release so much energy, water vapour is central to the climate and its variability and change.

Rise of sea levels is 'the greatest lie ever told'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/5067351/Rise-of-sea-levels...
If there is one scientist who knows more about sea levels than anyone else in the world, it is the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Mörner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change. And the uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story. Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm". The reason why Dr Mörner, formerly a Stockholm professor, is so certain that ... claims about sea level rise are 100 per cent wrong is that they are all based on computer model predictions, whereas his findings are based on "going into the field to observe what is actually happening in the real world". When running the International Commission on Sea Level Change, he launched a special project on the

UK Group Proposes Using Carbon Offsets to Stop Poor From Breeding
Carbon hysteria reaches its logical conclusion
The Optimum Population Trust (OPT), a UK-based "think tank" and registered charity, has launched a new initiative urging wealthy members of the developed world to participate in carbon offsets that fund programs for curbing the population of developing nations. The scheme is being promoted as a more cost-effective way to reduce CO2 emissions than investing in alternative energy sources and offers a way for elitist racists to feel ethical in their quest to exterminate the third world masses.
A BBC News article on the proposal dutifully reports the OPT's proposal and their justifications for proposing it. They note that the program is designed to fund "contraception" programs in poor nations, a term that helpfully obscures the fact that such programs—including those run by FPA, one of the agencies listed as a supporting organization of this new program—have used bribes to get poor men and women to volunteer for sterilization. The article does, however, allow space for a detractor of the proposal to point out that even if one does accept that limiting carbon emissions is necessary (which it is not), the focus on limiting emissions of people in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) is in itself nonsensical: "Carbon emissions from people in much of sub-Saharan Africa are so low that they can barely be counted."
What this error exposes, however, is not that the OPT has set its sights on the wrong target. In fact, they are simply introducing the idea as a politically expedient precedent which will eventually be expanded to include the developed world as well. Indeed, this is merely the latest such proposal from the group, which has previously said that the world's population must be cut by as much as half and the UK's population reduced to as little as 17 million in order to reach "sustainable levels." The group's patrons include world renowned environmental campaigners, academics and media figures like Jane Goodall, James Lovelock and Sir David Attenborough.
One patron of the Optimum Population Trust who stands out is Jonathon Porritt, a well-known baronet and a green campaigner who advises the likes of Prince Charles on environmental matters. He has long argued the link between "environmental sustainability" and enforced abortions. He once claimed to be "unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate." He is also on the board of BBC Wildlife magazine, perhaps explaining why BBC News tends to treat every pronouncement from the OPT as if it were a major policy announcement (see this and this and this for starters).

Copenhagen climate summit: eight greenhouse gases and what they do
Webmaster's Commentary:
More "human bashing" propaganda. Just to pick one example, the number two gas on their list, methane, is ascribed to human activity including farming (which I presume the environmentalists think we can all live without).
But in actual fact termites produce more methane than human activity by an order of magnitude, and even more methane comes from deep crust microbes. Some is trapped in the layers of methane hydrate on the ocean floor, but the rest bubbles up to the surface and into the atmosphere. Occasionally the microbe produced methane creates a "blowout" on the ocean floor, creating a mass of bubbles that can and has sunk ships and even taken aircraft out of the air (by starving engines and pilots for oxygen) in places like the north sea oil fields and the Bermuda Triangle.
But the goal of this article is to keep placing the blame for the changes to the environment on humans to guilt them out of their money and freedoms.

Context for 'hide the decline' discovered
At issue was a proxy-temperature graph showing trends in temperatures for the preceding 1000 years. The first version of this graph, prepared initially by Keith Briffa, did show a significant decline in temperatures late in the twentieth century. The attendees at the IPCC meeting expressed, in no uncertain terms, their sentiment that this decline was an outlying result that ought to remain hidden, presumably from the broader scientific community and the public, in order to avoid what they feared would be a misconstruction of this decline.

White House wants suit against Yoo dismissed
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/12/08/MN061AVC89.DTL
The Obama administration has asked an appeals court to dismiss a lawsuit accusing former Bush administration attorney John Yoo of authorizing the torture of a terrorism suspect, saying federal law does not allow damage claims against lawyers who advise the president on national security issues. Yoo, a UC Berkeley law professor, worked for the Justice Department from 2001 to 2003. He was the author of a 2002 memo that said rough treatment of captives amounts to torture only if it causes the same level of pain as "organ failure, impairment of bodily function or even death." The memo also said the president may have the power to authorize torture of enemy combatants. In the current lawsuit, Jose Padilla, now serving a 17-year sentence for conspiring to aid Islamic extremist groups, accuses Yoo of devising legal theories that justified what he claims was his illegal detention and abusive interrogation. The Justice Department represented Yoo until June, when a federal judge in

Dear friends,
A top secret lethal weapon of the CIA is used for conducting clandestine assassinations without leaving a trace of evidence. This specially designed secret weapon is a pistol which shoots a small poison dart to cause a heart attack, as explained in Congressional testimony in a short video clip from a powerful documentary on the CIA. By educating ourselves and others on vitally important matters like this, we can build a brighter future for us all.
The dart from this secret CIA weapon penetrates clothing and leaves nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target.
The lethal poison then rapidly enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the damage is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is very unlikely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes. Sounds like the perfect James Bond weapon, doesn't it? Yet all of this is verifiable in Congressional testimony.
The astonishing information about this secret weapon of the CIA comes from U.S. Senate testimony in 1975 on rogue activities of the CIA. This weapon is only one of many James Bond-like discoveries of the Church Committee hearings, officially known as the
Could this or a similar secret weapon have been used, for instance, in the death of 52-year-old Mark Pittman, a reporter who predicted the financial crisis and exposed Federal Reserve misdoings? Pittman, whose fight to open the Federal Reserve to more scrutiny led Bloomberg News to sue the central bank and win, died of a heart attack on
Watch the one-minute video at this link for the description of a former CIA secretary and Congressional testimony on this top secret weapon. To watch the revealing 45-minute documentary from which the above clip was taken, click here. In this riveting exposé, five former CIA agents describe how their initial pride and enthusiasm at serving their nation turned to anguish and remorse, as they realized that they were actually subverting democracy and killing innocent civilians all in the name "national security" and promoting foreign policy agendas.
The above-mentioned testimony is from 1975, several decades ago. With the ensuing leaps in technological capability, just imagine what kinds of secret weapons for assassination have been developed since. There is good evidence that technology has even been developed to cause strong suicidal feelings in a targeted person. For more on this, read powerful information on nonlethal weapons at this link.
