Troubled Blacks

Before I get accused of swiping with too broad of a brush, I want to be clear that there is a minority of Black citizens working, contributing, and living upstanding lives. It is a sad fact though that this number is pitifully small. The majority of African American youths, driven by the perception that there isn't any other way, seem hell-bent on destruction. These misguided youths have adopted the 'shortcut' method for progressing in this society.

It is a disturbing fact that Blacks have the 'wants', but instead of utilizing the opportunities of this nation that allows a person to rise to the level of his ambition, young Blacks feel the need to shortcut the process. The shortcut methods include any activity that provides instant wealth using criminal means; including robbery, pimping, selling street drugs, home invasions, and scams. The shortcut method attempts to circumvent acceptable paths to success.

The alarming statistics of African Americans is not good. Seventy percent of their children are born out of wedlock. According to this statistic, a majority of Black children are raised without the influence of a father. While mothers are nurturing, they cannot provide the balance needed by a child. With few exceptions, children raised in single parent homes develop deficiencies that carry over into adulthood.

The majority white population feels responsible for the plight of Blacks. After all, the white population enslaved and discriminated against Blacks. Whites still think of Blacks as being inferior but at the same time, they feel guilty about the past. The accepted method for Whites to salve their conscience is to reward Blacks with undeserved status. The White population has done everything in their power to destroy the Black population with their kindness. Whites do not intentionally try to harm Blacks, because other than the Liberal elitists among the White population, the majority of Whites want to do right by Blacks.

School integration brought the first opportunity for Whites to help the Black population. A good education would have given Blacks the tools to succeed in our competitive society, but the Democrat elitists' leaders had other ideas. Instead of challenging these young minds, White politicians lowered the standards for students. Lowering standards for Black students was only an extension of the deeply held idea that blacks were somehow inferior and couldn't be educated to White standards. It is important to understand Liberal politics. The Democrats never intended for the Black population to succeed, all they wanted was to create the illusion of helping the Black Race. The last thing that Liberals want is for the Black population to succeed. Under the guise of helping Blacks, the Democrats quickly made them wards of the state. They destroyed any incentive for success that this segment of the population may have had. The Welfare State was born. Reverse discrimination became common in the zeal to make up for the bad treatment Blacks had endured at the hands of the Whites. The welfare state was an easy sell to the White community because of the mantle of guilt riding on their shoulders.

Subsisting on the welfare handouts and other crumbs from Washington destroys Black national pride. In the eyes of the Black person on welfare, there needs to be more crumbs. Their resentment is a manifestation of the rampant poverty that is so pervasive in their communities. Leadership from the Black pulpits is absent. Few if any, tell of the freedom and pride they would gain by standing on their own hind legs. Very few Black ministers preach self-worth and to quit blaming the Whites for all their problems. With the exception of a few, Blacks are not succeeding as a race.

Black athletes are heralded for their athletic skills as they perform for a mostly White audience. Their athletic heroes are in a unique position to set an example for the younger Black generation but alas, the majority of successful Black athletes do not. Most get caught up in consumerism that projects the 'I have arrived' mentality. There is a desperate need for more Black grass root enterprises to celebrate the 'reward for effort formula' to inspire younger Blacks to make the effort to win in life. Instead, these young Blacks are allowed to drift into the shortcut system. Embracing the shortcut system is also the reason for such a large Black population in our prisons.

Lack of Leadership

There are a few Black leaders trying to get the message to the Black community, Bill Cosby comes to mind. But Mr. Cosby's message is met with derision because the message is laced with the idea of taking responsibility for the sad conditions prevalent within Black communities. The voices that are heard the most within the Black community are from those pied pipers of 'blame the whites' like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and Jesse Jackson. We can only hope that the future will bring leadership to the Black community. A leadership that understands the value of family, hard work, and reward for effort. It is sad that successful Blacks are accused of being Uncle Toms, or Lackeys for Whites. Perpetuating the stereotype of victimization only works to empower the 'blame the whites' trumpeters and does real disservice to the Black population.

In conclusion, the sad state of the Black population in this country should be addressed without the shroud of political correctness. The American White needs to quit feeling guilty over past injustices and respect Blacks as equals, not a people needing their pitiful handouts. I leave this one last thought, whenever Black students do get challenged in school to a higher standard, they respond remarkably well. There are numerous examples of what these students achieve when they are not treated as if they were somehow inferior and in need of lower standards to get through school.

Antidote to Greed

Obama's answer to the financial problems forces more and more government intervention. Government handouts and subsidies only prolongs the problem and attracts more takers. When a business such as a bank gets careless and greedy, the one sure cure for over-leveraging and high executive compensation for non-performance is failure.

The executives at Enron experienced those results. What if we had bailed out Enron? They asked for government intervention but thankfully, the government refused their request. The courts dealt with the executives by sending them to prison. It was a fitting end for a crooked and ill run company. The customers, stockholders, and employees who suffered because of the shenanigans of the corporate office divided the spoils of that company. No, not made whole, but at least they shared in the proceeds of liquidation.

The government cannot be the side rails for a business. Only the honesty and character of the executive structure and the prospect of failure and disgrace can effectively control greed and avarice found in today's banking system. Yes, we have regulations but regulations can hurt as well as help. While regulations intend to prevent runaway fraud, they also prevent decisions that would be good for a business. Honest business decisions are frequently not made because of the prospect of running afoul of regulations. It is like the dog on a leash theory.

The leash theory goes like this. To prevent the dog from marauding through the neighborhood, we chain him to a tree. In this case, the chain represents imposed regulations and the dog is representative of a business. As long as the chain is long enough, the dog is happy. But more overturned trashcans in the neighborhood are upsetting the people, so we shorten the chain to prevent mischief. (As we impose stricter regulations, our chain gets shorter.) Now, the dog sees opportunities beyond the length of the chain and struggles mightily at the chain but the chain is unyielding. The dog runs around the tree searching for an avenue of freedom but with each trip around the tree, the chain gets even shorter. The chain finally strangles the dog. Of course, the moral of the story is that regulations have the ability to kill business if they are too restrictive. That is why we have to rely on the ethics and integrity of those in business.

When a business goes astray and proves to be untrustworthy, that business should fail. Failure is the ultimate cure for greed and avarice. We should avoid shackling our businesses with regulations inspired by the failings of another company. It is the old saying that "One bad apple spoils the whole barrel." Well, there are a lot of bad apples out there and believe me; they will take notice of business liquidations and prison terms. But the opposite is happening because of the government bailouts. Businesses from all over, even the porn industry has their hands out seeking taxpayer dollars. Taxpayer dollars for badly run companies and scandalous executives is nothing but honey that is attracting flies. Everybody wants in on the act.

Contrast what is happening to businesses now. If those same executives were shamed and their companies liquidated, other businesses and boards would pay attention. Going through the pain of failure is not an attraction coveted by any business, not to mention the prospect of prison terms.

When does the nightmare stop? Already some of the banks that received government money decided that they didn't need the help after all. The only problem with the whole episode with the bailouts was that there was no pain for the gross mismanagement of these public corporations. Some got a temporary reprieve with the bailouts, but only time will tell if the boards of these companies will step up to the plate and clamp down on the self-serving behavior of the executives that perpetuated the collapse of the banking system.

Hopefully, I am wrong and the bailouts will not just prolong the agony. The short run does look promising, but we haven't even begun to pay the piper yet. Inflation and depression are still lurking for the longer term. Our national case of myopia is dominating our senses and preventing us from taking the steps that would actually help.

Please note that I did not mention the culpability of congress in this whole sordid affair. That is a topic for another day.

A Naive Obama

Obama paints the world through hopeful rose-colored glasses. Blatantly ignoring history and even getting it wrong, Obama seeks peace by sacrificing what this nation stands for. The speech was true 'Rodney King-ish' "Can't we all just get along." He might as well have been reciting Isaiah 11:6 --

"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them."

Only who is the wolf and who is the lamb? Does he refer to the United States as the predatory wolf or the meek lamb? Does he think of himself as the 'small child'?

Obama was able to put his finger on most of the problems facing the world, but only edicts for solving them. Living with Jihad has been a problem for the United States since 1783. Then, it was the Barbary Pirates trying to earn their way into heaven by seizing American ships and enslaving their crews. Those actions created the trouble between the U.S. and the Muslims along the Barbary Coast. Obama failed to point out that before an American naval fleet existed that President Adams tried appeasement and making nice. It only made the matter worse. The same condition holds for the Somali Pirates of today. As long as their piracy pays off, they will continue their crusades against shipping.

Obama says we need a new beginning -- okay, but in his eyes and by his word, fault lies with what the United States is doing. We were wrong to have removed Sadam Hussein from power -- a war of 'choice' to use his words, and we are wrong to hold really bad people and keep them isolated from civilization at Guantanamo, we are not a Christian country, we still oppress women and minorities, it isn't fair for any country to have atomic weapons, and all good things have come from Islam, the 'peaceful religion'. Obama ignores the fact that Islam is the only religion to have spread by the forced conversions of non-Muslims. What do you think is happening in Darfur at the present? The genocide there is nothing but Muslims forcing non-Muslims into becoming Muslims.

The only thing standing between us and turning towards Mecca 5 times a day is our military. The only reason Iran hasn't struck out against others to establish the coming of the 12th Imam is the American military. However, as the U.S. weakens in the eyes of the Iranians, they will strike for purely religious reasons -- to bring about the return of the 12th Imam. It has nothing to do with diplomacy, statesmanship, or who likes whom, it is a religious concept held by the Shia. The president of Iran is a true believer; and Iran will not accede to punitive measures such as sanctions or other diplomatic measures.

Obama's mischaracterization of Jefferson in his speech was appalling. Isn't it amazing how politicians mischaracterize the words of famous and infamous people to bolster their own arguments?


I have two suggestions. Read the review of Victory in Tripoli: How America's War with the Barbary Pirates Established the U.S. Navy and Shaped a Nation By Joshua E. London John Wiley & Sons at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1626427/posts or get the book and read it.

Then, Obama defended the war in Afghanistan as being necessary and part of his strategy to stop the extremism of Al Qaeda. Okay, --we will agree to solving the problems there, but wonder why the use of force is necessary in Afghanistan but not appropriate to stop Iran and North Korea from causing global mischief. Iran and North Korea have set a course that is even more perilous than that of Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

Nor did Obama's speech address the hate coming from the Muslim Mosques and the Madrassas that teach the young to hate anybody who is non-Muslim or infidels. Does Obama seriously think that blaming America and praising Islam will bring peace? Jihad is the duty of all Muslims, the Arabic meaning for Jihad is 'struggle' and while all Jihad is not violent, the Jihad by Sword version of Jihad is 'Holy War' where killing infidels satisfies both duty and struggle for Muslims. Die or become Muslim is the choice given to the Christian refugees of Darfur. It is the classical way that the religion has spread over half the world. I would say to President Obama, "Why hasn't your criticism included the Muslim means of converting non-Muslims?"

Obama finds no reason to criticize the root problems we face with the Muslims. They are a docile people until their numbers increase enough to make demands upon the host countries that they establish themselves in. Their reproduction rates far exceed those of most Western societies and soon are able to dictate the terms of peace. Western societies who are accepting of Muslims find themselves forced to accept Sharia Law or face riots and other forms of violence. Muslims overtake countries that have been open and fair to them. It is scary that Obama is willing to go down that road knowing the outcomes of past dealings other countries have had with Muslims.

Yes, I too felt like singing cum-bah-ya to the tune of Obama's speech, but at some point, reality has to surface. His praise and courting of Muslims will only lead to a bad ending for all of us. The idealism and naiveté of Obama is putting all Christians and non-Muslims into serious jeopardy.

Intelligent DNA

Just the fact that life has to concern itself about reproduction means that life is a terminal condition, and -- that a life form is meant to colonize and occupy a niche in the fabric of life, and -- one could interpret reproduction as a method that life uses to adapt to a changing environment.

Lifespan periods today may be reflective of an Earth that has a continually changing environment. Nothing is ever as static as they seem. We have found evidence of ancient oceans on the highest mountains and old tropical forest in the frozen tundra. Through all of the environmental changes, life has remained tenacious in its habitation on Earth because the DNA that describes a life form is programmable. The ability of life to make changes and adapt to differing environmental situations has been a staple of Darwin's theory since its inception. But it is important to note that the changes come through the reproductive system. Once reproduced, the properties of that individual remain with that life form throughout its life. If you have big feet, you will have big feet throughout your life. But that doesn't mean that you automatically pass this trait on to your offspring.

DNA changes to a given environmental change usually do not happen in one life cycle of an organism. It may take several life cycles to complete the necessary changes to suit a particular environment. If the lifespan is too long, then the necessary changes may not occur to save the life form. This works well because the changing environment may be temporary in nature and full adaptation not actually required.

Rapid environmental changes can be too fast for an organism to adapt and in the process, dooming the affected organism. External forces such as cosmic collisions, volcanism, and changes in the Sun's output would bring about those rapid changes.

Evidence to support a slowing of the evolutionary process can be found by looking at the records of Earth's past. During the Precambrian/Cambrian period, there was a virtual explosion of life forms developed. But the Earth was in a state of rapid change and in order for life to stay viable, rapid changes to DNA was necessary to adapt to a changing world. In order to produce the changes fast enough, shorter life spans would have been necessary. The passing years have calmed the Earth's dynamism and mellowed out its widely varying environmental changes. These longer periods of stability have reduced the need for organism change due to environmental concerns. Translocation and predatory practices probably drive the slight changes in life forms we observe today.

Overall, the increase in stability means less demand for DNA changes and consequently, longer life spans become possible.

The larger question is how is it determined that a DNA change is needed. We know that certain pesticides trigger changes in how a life form deals with those chemicals. Is it the DNA making those determinations? You will notice that the change is always the appropriate response to the circumstance. The response isn't a guess, and after the change occurs, natural selection favors those organisms that made the necessary change. The rearrangement of the chemistry in a mosquito to make it immune to a certain pesticide is a remarkable feat, and to be able to pass the change to subsequent generations suggest more than just chance.

I would suggest that there is in every organism, whether simple or complex, a will to adjust to whatever ill that comes its way. Is this ability the workings of intelligence within the organism or just blind luck? If it is luck, then life has been very lucky to survive from its beginning so long ago. Yes, DNA and its attending retinues that maintain it are a marvel. It is as if there is a command post within our body that recognizes that it is getting warmer or colder and makes those necessary adjustments, or that there is a new chemical that needs to be dealt with.

Natural selection does the work after the changes are made but not before.

Paying for WWII and the Depression

From This ---

To This


Deficit spending is the method being tried to end the current recession. But deficit spending, without a method of repayment is a disaster in the making. We continually hear from the Left about the era of FDR and the plaudits accorded him by the Democrats. We also hear from the Right about how FDR did not help us out of the depression, but instead, WWII intervened and saved the day.

Can it be that both contentions are right? For my friends on the Right, I would tell them that as noble as the war effort was, it was still a gigantic government-spending project. The government transformed into one huge customer for every conceivable type of product. The purchases by the government sent unemployment down to 2% as factories manned up to produce the materials for war.

Neither the war nor the deficit spending effort by FDR was the saving grace for our economy though. Immediately after the war, we were in debt and the demand for war materials all but stopped. This put the people back onto the streets for a brief time. The war's aftermath really ended the depression. Instead of returning to the depression, as you would expect after the government stopped buying war materials, the war had created a pent-up demand for goods and services that were unavailable because of the war. Factories couldn't convert back to peacetime output fast enough to satisfy the demand.

This from --
http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/tassava.WWII

"At a macroeconomic scale, the war not only decisively ended the Great Depression, but created the conditions for productive postwar collaboration between the federal government, private enterprise, and organized labor, the parties whose tripartite collaboration helped engender continued economic growth after the war. The U.S. emerged from the war not physically unscathed, but economically strengthened by wartime industrial expansion, which placed the United States at absolute and relative advantage over both its allies and its enemies."

Not only was the demand high domestically, but the United States was practically the only industrialized nation that was physically unscathed by the war. A decimated Europe, Japan, Russia, and England put the manufacturing ability of the United States in high demand. With her newfound status as supplier to the world, the United States was able to dig out from under the mountain of debt that had accumulated over the past two decades.

Large multi-national corporations evolved from the ashes of the depression. The United States became the economic juggernaut of the world.

When I declared that both the Left and the Right were correct with their statements, each only tells one-half of a story.

The government released wage and price controls after the war and enabled our industries to flourish once again as private enterprises. The Marshall Plan helped foreign economies and gave them the ability to purchase American goods. And G.I. plans helped the returning soldiers to purchase houses and to continue with their education. Another important piece to the puzzle was that the infrastructure of our industries was good because of the war effort. The war and its aftermath produced an almost perfect storm for an economic boom in the United States.

You can conclude that the war and its aftermath created the environment that gave us the ability to manage the deficits that we accumulated. But the conditions we face now do not have the same miracle attached to it as the conditions at the end of WWII. We are no longer the world's supplier of goods. Our export deficits, loss of a manufacturing base, and government regulations have made us into the world's largest debtor nation.

The U.S. today is akin to a man with his paycheck. His money has been spent and leveraged out with debt for many years to come. The U.S. is now facing debt as far as the eye can see. If we as a Nation do not get a handle on our economy soon, we will fail as a nation.

The War Against Blacks

It gets little attention, but an effort to control the Black population is thriving. This effort is a blight on the human race. True, we have elected an African descended person to the presidency, but the all out push by Liberals to elect an Afro-American President is just cover for a very sinister agenda.

The effort to control the Black population is carried out on several fronts. One of the most effective tools is population control of Blacks using Malaria as the executioner. Malaria was promoted to main executioner because of a book written by Rachel Carson called the "Silent Spring". Rachel Carson was a marine biologist/writer whose book made a case against pesticides and the dangers they posed against animals.

This from Wikipedia about the impact of the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Carson

"In the late 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation and the environmental problems caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to an unprecedented portion of the American public. Silent Spring spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy—leading to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides—and the grassroots environmental movement the book inspired led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Freedom Medal by Jimmy Carter."

I have no problem with the work of Rachel Carson. She was a dedicated person and worked tirelessly on behalf of the animal kingdom. But, her book inspired others to crusade against one of the most beneficial and economical pesticides we have ever used - DDT.

The crusaders made DDT a political issue and were responsible for the eventual banning of DDT. DDT was made the boogey-man for breast cancer, bird eggshell thinning, and uterine cancer. All of which have been debunked by science, but public hysterics over these issues forced the ban on DDT. Even today, the public believes that DDT was, and is a bad and harmful chemical.

As it turned out, DDT was the main weapon against Malaria in Africa and other tropical countries. DDT was an effective and economical weapon against Malaria by killing the mosquitoes that spread the disease. DDT was helping, not hurting humanity by preventing a terrible ravaging disease from decimating the Black population and others in tropical climates.

There were those who knew the truth about DDT but wanted to capitalize on the results of banning DDT. These were political elites of the Liberal movement. Their efforts solidified the beliefs of an already hysterical population that DDT was bad. Because of public sentiment about DDT, Western cultures threatened to ban the exports of any nations that used DDT for pest control.

This left little choice to those Sub Saharan African countries. They were already dirt poor, and if they could not sell their meager exports, their suffering would be multiplied many times over. So, with a gun to their head, they tried other chemicals and methods of prophylactic measures against the disease. The new chemicals were mostly just expensive and did little to help their plight. Millions upon millions die because of the now uncontrolled ravages of Malaria.

The WHO (World Health Organization) approved the use of DDT for specific applications such as painting the walls of homes and with mosquito netting. It was welcome news by the affected countries because of its proven effectiveness against mosquitoes. But just yesterday I received an update from AFM (Africa Fighting Malaria) with this pronouncement:

DDT Update
The United Nations' Retreat From Science in Controlling Malaria

AFM's Roger Bate writes in The New Ledger, "For two years the United Nations paid lip service to the truth that the insecticide DDT is a vital component of malaria control, but last week UN abandoned science in favor of superstition. The result is UN promotion of more dangerous and less efficient malaria control techniques. On May 5th, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Program announced plans to reduce DDT use by 30% by 2014 and completely eliminate it by around 2020. In the mean time, the UN will roll out initiatives in 40 countries to test non-chemical methods of malaria control. In particular UN wants to scale up the programs of Central America, which have relied on "pharmacosuppression". Essentially, uninfected people in high-risk locations are given the antimalarial drug chloroquine to suppress any future infection. In 2004, 3,400 malaria cases were diagnosed in Mexico, 6,897 in Nicaragua, and almost half a million in Brazil. But both Mexico and Nicaragua each distrib
uted more anti-malaria pills (mostly chloroquine pills) than Brazil. Chloroquine is a wonderful drug at combating malaria and has saved millions of lives when used therapeutically, as in Brazil,, but prophylactic use is not safe because it is quite toxic and has led to heart problems when used repeatedly. As scientists at the University of Colima in Mexico explained last year, chloroquine "can induce lethal ventricular arrhythmias." Ironically, chloroquine is only slightly less toxic than DDT yet people have to eat chloroquine pills, they don't eat DDT."

For those interested in this sad tale of frustration by those suffering at the hands of the same phony science that gives us 'Global Warming', subscribe to their newsletter at africa@fightingmalaria.org --learn and see a real life tragedy unfold before you monthly.

One of the other weapons against the Black community is the use of abortion. Other than needing their vote, the same people who claim brotherhood and protector of Blacks are systematically eradicating Black newborns. Read the following from Rev. Childress. If you have any doubts about why the Liberals are so insistent about maintaining abortion on demand, you may want to rethink the BS that they espouse. Abortion is a tool to help control Black population.

Abortion's Blackest Secret: First from Planned Parenthood---

"We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the (Black) minister is the man who can straighten that idea out if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Margaret Sanger
Founder, Planned Parenthood
________________________
Answer from: Reverend Clenard H. Childress Jr.

"Although black women constitute only 6% of the population, they comprise 36% of the abortion industry’s clientele. The leading abortion providers have chosen to exploit blacks by locating 94% of their abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations.

This high rate of abortion has decimated the black family and destroyed black neighborhoods to the detriment of society at large.

1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion.

3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child.
"...For those of you that don't know, Barack Obama became a "minister" of Planned Parenthood a long time ago. He's so good at carrying out their racist, murderous, agenda against Afro-Americans and society at large, they gave him a 100% score on his voting record.

Planned Parenthood is following the strategy of their racist founder, Margaret Sanger, to the letter. Planed Parenthood is saying, “We have our poster boy!

Get him out in front as a lure for their women and men. Get them into our abortion clinics and dismember their children by the millions!”

You say absurd? No Way!
Planned Parenthood’s Valentine cards were sent out to hundreds of thousands of young people in the nation.

Whose face is plainly seen waving to them with a big smile?

Whose endorsement is given to this racist and calloused organization?

Who is used to lure children to give credibility to its hideous plot?

Barack Obama, that's who!..."

In the United States, the Democrats solidify their partnership with the Blacks by discouraging their success and keeping them dependent upon crumbs from Washington. Is there no reason why the Black Man feels like he has no hope? He keeps investing his one tool, his vote, into the vacant promises of the Left. But the Left does not intend to allow Blacks to succeed. Obama is just a showpiece to keep Blacks pacified.

I apologize to the true believers in Obama. You were sold a phony bill of goods. The Socialist elites pull the strings and stir the passions of a leader-starved population. But the Obama revolution is showing signs of disappointment and it will get worse as time advances. It is not in the cards for the USA to become a Socialist Left country. People love freedom too much to allow it. Failure is also a birthright, not everybody can rise to the same level, but by effort and lessons learned from our failures, we can be all that we can if allowed to do so. That is freedom. Freedom means that we all have the same opportunity to make our fortune, but no guarantees on an outcome, the outcome of our efforts depend on us.

Genocides such as the one in Dar fur or Rwanda continue in Africa while a 'civilized' world just watches. People in the Malaria ravaged countries suffer and die in their thousands while being denied the most effective pesticide that would help. And finally, we in the USA allow abortion to thin out their population and uphold abortion as a right.

The war against Blacks continues -- one day, they will remember.

Sunspots and Earths Temperature

Is there a connection between the Earth's temperature and Sunspots? Sooner or later, real science will have to come to grips and face the facts that it is the Sun's energy, and not CO2, that has been driving the temperature increases of the Earth. The CO2 theory is a fashionable political event, but has very minor, if anything to do with the increase in Earth temperature. (About 1degree in the last 100 years.)

The following graph maps out the Earth's mean and monthly temperature variations since 1880. I marked off the divisions of the Solar cycles so you could make a determination about the effects of Solar activity against the temperature anomalies. The bar-chart is from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and this link will take you to their website.

I had to use separate graphs so you could see the different cycles and make the comparisons to the temperature chart. There wasn't room to make an all-in-one comprehensive chart so a little navigating on your part between the solar cycles and the temperature chart will be necessary. All charts and photos are clickable to see the full size of them and it may be necessary to see the full size temperature chart to fully appreciate it.



As you look at the mean temperature chart, you will immediately see that the temperature anomaly has went from colder to hotter over the years since 1870. The CO2 advocates would look at the same chart and see it as proof that the Earth has been warming because of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. But not so fast -- What they have been missing is that the Activity of the Sun has been increasing during the same time-period and sorry folks, our minor CO2 discharges are not making the Sun increase its output.

Now, look at the Sun's activities. Solar storms have been increasing in size, number and intensity for the past several decades and the increase in energy output from the Sun has not only warmed our planet but others as well. Mars has also increased in temperature and that is certainly not a result of Earth CO2.

I delineated the places where each solar cycle fits on the Temperature chart so you can easily see where each solar cycle fits on the Temperature chart.

Solar Cycle charts are from the archives of http://www.solen.info/solar/ You can also go to that website and monitor the daily activities of the Sun. The site is updated each night and stays current with everything you might want to know about the Sun's activities.









One bright side, the last two solar cycles have been diminishing and because of that, the Earth's present cooling trend will continue. If I lived in the northern half of the U.S., I would be dusting off my long johns and stocking up on firewood (electricity may not be as reliable as in the past) as they are going to come in mighty handy for the foreseeable future.

Hope this helps with your understanding about the warming phenomenon. There is one last passing thought that I will share with you -- it is about the Earth's magnetic field. It has been diminishing. The magnetic field protects us from harmful rays emanating from the Sun. Since 1829 we have lost 14% of that field. There has been speculation that it is also contributing to our global warming as more energy can squeak through the weakened field and interact with the Earth. We need more research on that one, but it is out there.
