“We’re All Gonna Die”

Peace In Our Time

Well, Mr. Obama, that prediction worked out about as well as “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”  The Paris Islamic Terrorist attack death toll sits at 150 and counting.  Sure looks like “containment” was a poor choice of words.

From Breitbart, “Obama: ISIS Is Not Getting ‘Stronger,’ We Have ‘Contained’ Them.”

Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” President Barack Obama seemingly downplayed the threat of ISIS in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Good Morning America.”

Paris_News_HeadlinesStephanopoulos asked Obama if ISIS was gaining in strength, to which Obama denied they were.

“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”

“What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures,” he admitted. “We’ve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense.”

AGW- Cold Sun Rising?

by

I see a cold sun arising.
I see freezin’ on the way.
I see glaciers and icing.
I see cold temps today.

[Chorus]
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to freeze your balls,
There’s a cold sun on the rise.

The Nation reports in “Cold sun rising” that new studies flip climate-change notions upside down. 

The sun will go into “hibernation” mode around 2030, and it has already started to get sleepy. At the Royal Astronomical Society’s annual meeting in July, AGW_NYCProfessor Valentina Zharkova of Northumbria University in the UK confirmed it – the sun will begin its Maunder Minimum (Grand Solar Minimum) in 15 years. Other scientists had suggested years ago that this change was imminent, but Zharkova’s model is said to have near-perfect accuracy.

So what is a “solar minimum”?  Our sun doesn’t maintain a constant intensity. Instead, it cycles in spans of approximately 11 years. When it’s at its maximum, it has the highest number of sunspots on its surface in that particular cycle. When it’s at its minimum, it has almost none. When there are more sunspots, the sun is brighter. When there are fewer, the sun radiates less heat toward Earth.

But that’s not the only cooling effect of a solar minimum. A dim sun doesn’t deflect cosmic rays away from Earth as efficiently as a bright sun. So, when these rays enter our atmosphere, they seed clouds, which in turn cool our planet even more and increase precipitation in the form of rain, snow and hail.

OK.  So this November 30th the United Nations is having another Global Climate Change (AKA-Global Warming) Summit in Paris to attempt to come up with legally binding agreements to stop what?  Global Warming.  They must have already been successful since there has been no warming in 18 years and 9 months.  We’d all be better off if they would just spend their Paris time drinking wine and looking for love.

AGW_Frozen_CabinSolar cycles–Since the early 1800s we have enjoyed healthy solar cycles and the rich agriculture and mild northern temperatures that they guarantee. During the Middle Ages, however, Earth felt the impact of four solar minimums over the course of 400 years.

The last Maunder Minimum and its accompanying mini-Ice Age saw the most consistent cold, continuing into the early 1800s.

The last time we became concerned about cooler temperatures – possibly dangerously cooler – was in the 1970s. Global temperatures have declined since the 1940s, as measured by Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The PDO Index is a recurring pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centred over the Pacific Ocean. Determined by deep currents, it is said to shift between warm and cool modes. Some scientists worried that it might stay cool and drag down the Atlantic Decadal Oscillation with it, spurring a new Ice Age. The fear was exacerbated by the fact that Earth has been in the current inter-glacial period for 10,000 years (depending on how the starting point is gauged).

If Earth were to enter the next Ice Age too quickly, glaciers could advance much further south, rainforests could turn into savannah, and sea levels could drop dramatically, causing havoc.

It seems to me that maybe Old Mr. Sunshine has decided that we’ve all worried about being par-boiled for too long.

Today’s Bacon – Bacon Jihad

Seems like a pretty reasonable philosophy to me. Off with their pork.  Or heads.  Whatever…

Spoiler Alert:  For the poor, unsafe students at the University of Missouri–Just Kidding.  For you J-School wannabes, it’s called satire.  Deal with it.

Bill Gates – STFU

Bill_Gates_Carbon_ClubBill.  No one gives a satisfying crap about your case of “Affluenza“. Other than the fact that your liberal guilt is going to make the rest of our standard of livings revert back to the “diurnal era“, we want nothing from you except a Windows version that works.  So we’ll ‘prolly be seeing you mid-century with Windows 20.
