[Jer]

Seriously - it's June 8th and it's like 55 degrees out! It's still freezing at night. IT'S JUNE 8TH!



WTF?

[timnormandin]

Don't worry, before you know it it'll be fucking 90 or so and madass bugs in Biblical proportion will rise out the cold Midwestern mud to feast on the flesh of humans.

[Core Shot]

OHH NOSE ITS THE GLOBAL WARMMINGS

RUNN FUR YOUR LIVFES!!!

They already did that a few weeks ago when we had a few days where it didn't freeze at night. Then they all froze.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ad - if I missed some killer boob, I'm comin' after you!

82 today. First day ov summer. OK - I'm ready for winter now.

[Blurred]

It took until June 16th for Denver to break 80 degrees in the month of June.

So where are all of the global warming alarmist douchebags now days?

Remember when Witherspoon and I used to go back and forth with me pwning him repeatedly on the subject?

Guess the proof is in the pudding.

Guess what dumbasses? Anthropogenic global warming is a scare religion.

Like I've said all along.

Karpiel- be careful with heartland.org. They're partially funded by Exxon I believe.

They only hurt the truth....(kinda like Hannity)

[Jer]

Fuck - it's supposed to be almost 90 tomorrow!

55 to 90. Great.

OMG!!! THA GLOBAL WARMINGS ARE BAAAACK!!!

Spotless Sun, new 'Baby Grand' milestone has arrived

Plot of Cycle 23 to 24 sunspot numbers in an 11 year window.

No we aren't talking pianos, but Grand Solar Minimums. Today a new milestone was reached. As you can see below, we've been leading up to it for a few years.

A typical solar minimum lasts 485 days, based on an average of the last 10 solar minima. As of today we are at 638 spotless days in the current minimum. Also as of today, May 27th, 2009, there were no sunspots on 120 of this year's (2009) 147 days to date (82%).

Paul Stanko writes:

Our spotless day count just reached 638.

What is so special about 638? We just overtook the original solar cycle, #1, so now the only cycles above this are: cycles of the Maunder minimum, cycles 5 to 7 (Dalton minimum), and cycles 10 + 12 to 15 (unnamed minimum).

Since the last one is unnamed, I've nicknamed it the "Baby Grand Minimum", in much the same way that you can have a baby grand piano. We would now seem to have reached the same stature for this minimum. It will be interesting to see just how much longer deep minimum goes on.

Of course it depends on what data you look at. Solar Influences Data Center and NOAA differ by a few days. As WUWT readers may recall, last year in August, the SIDC reversed an initial count that would have led to the first spotless month since 1913:

Sunspeck counts after all, debate rages...Sun DOES NOT have first spotless calendar month since June 1913

NOAA did not count the sunspot, so at the end of the month, one agency said "spotless month" and the other did not.

From Spaceweather.com in an April 1st 2009 article:

The mother of all spotless runs was of course the Maunder Minimum. This was a period from October 15, 1661 to August 2, 1671.

It totaled 3579 consecutive spotless days. That puts our current run at 17.5% of that of the Maunder Minimum.

By the standard of spotless days, the ongoing solar minimum is the deepest in a century: NASA report. In 2008, no sunspots were observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73%). To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913, which had 311 spotless days (85%):

The lack of sunspots in 2008, made it a century-level year in terms of solar quiet. Remarkably, sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower.

We do indeed live in interesting times.

Wait?!

TEH GLOBAL WARMINZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! temp variations are directly tied to fluctuations of energy from the Sun????!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody needs to call Al Gore.....or if we're really lucky, he'll respond in this thread.

Here I thought the debate was over.

[OSECS]

Here I thought the debate was over.

There never was any serious debate. Only a group of probably well meaning people who've tried to basically shout down the dissenters before they themselves ever had any real empirical data to back up their own claims. Coldest and wettest June here in 10 years. The recession really must be affecting everything.

[karpiel]

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

summer is coming in New York, but it is raining. Winter is too long to wait.

[Jer]

Now it's cold out again. I guess the short heatwave last week was a pause in the pause - now the old pause is back in effect. This climatology stuff sure is hard.

[UKC606]

I think some of these midwest hills shouldve kept makin snow dammit. Summer skiing babay! For future reference, low amount of sun flares = extended skiing season.
