I will circle back to the post I made on page 1.
Isn't summer down there this time of year?
Then why is the ice growing (now entrapping, at last count, three ships)? If there was globular wörming, should it not be shrinking at this time of year?
Could it be that the lack of solar activity (i.e. Sun spots, of which there currently are and have been around zero) when we are supposed to be a peak period in the 11 year cycle be the cause of this brutal winter here, and cold summer there?
I know solar scientists are rather concerned about the lack of solar activity in that we could be entering another Maunder Minimum.
I would like to point out what a flaming PITA it is to compare human output to say the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora*.
But according to sources I found, the US produces 199,500 tons per year.*
Since the US is alleged by Greenies to consume 25% of the worlds resources. A back of the envelope number of 798,000 per year for global manmade air pollution. Which sounds like a lot until you read:
The 1815 Mount Tambora eruption 1,550,000,000,000 tons.
The 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption ejected 110,000,000,000 tons of magma and 22,000,000 tonnes (22,000,000 short tons) SO2 and Pinatubo only dropped temps by .5C for a year.
Also take into account that most of the manmade pollution is either CO2 or H2O and those have negative impacts on the climate is rate *Not Much*, which is why the Greenies are pushing that CO2 is *EVIL BAD*.
*- It's hard to make an apples to apples comparison as for Volcanoes they measure cubic yards or meters of ejected material, and the one pollution number I found listed tons (or short tons). In fact, I was unable to find a worldwide number, and only found one for the US. Despite several searches using different terms.
