lol – oh well.

I just think how amazing that we circle this star which is part of a galaxy which is estimated to have between 200-400 billions of stars. And that the universe is estimated to have at least 100 billion galaxies. If the sun can dwarf man – just think how mind-blowing the rest of the universe is – in terms of scale and all the things we don’t know but hopefully will.

The sky is blue, the grass is green, GaffaUK is still a waste of time.

Not in terms to our survival, Gaffa. Don’t believe me? Move out one planet further from that insignificant sun, or one closer, and see how long you last.

Of course – hence why I put ‘in terms of scale – not to us!’

Why is there no sun activity? It’s as smooth as a baby’s butt.

I was out at Kitt Peak (SW of Tucson) Observatory where they have the McMath-Pierce Solar telescope (largest solar telescope in the world). We went out there last July and since there was no one else around, one of the professors there let us in to the back areas and he was showing us how little activity there was. He showed us 1 very faint sun spot and that was it. He explained that while the suns activity was expected to increase, it was unusally quiet. He also stated that the last time the sun was “dormant” for any significant length of time, we had our little ice age. Seeing as the sun is still very quiet (almost 1 year later) and the world is actually cooling instead of getting warmer, we could be moving into another mini or full blown ice age. Could Gore’s Nobel prize be revoked?

For me there’s no “middle” where human life is concerned. I’ll take one human over all the bald eagles in the world.

But then, I don’t have to, because DDT wasn’t the problem all along.

But the “egg thinning” meme made great propaganda that most of us who didn’t have access to the facts believed because the MSM all told us it was true.

So now it’s just a matter of getting the fools (who have access to the info, and still ban it, or pretend to still believe that nonsense just to appease some interest group) to acknowledge the error and fix it, like that will happen any day soon.

ps – am i getting slow in my od age, or did you really come accross as relatively (almost) sensible this time? good thing I was sitting when i read that.

pps – Youi said “We can, and do, impact our environment.” That’s true locally, not globally. We can no more alter the earth’s climate than a bunch of fruit flies can affect the temperature of the house they are buzzing around in.
