  1. I told you where the graph was if you wanted to go and learn more. You didn't specify timeframe in the initial request, so I think you are just being picky now that I have provided some evidence that you don't like. Strange really that we can't have a science discussion without offence being taken over facts.
  2. You ought to know if you are having this debate that cosmic rays increase at times of low sunspot numbers. The correlation has been displayed as you had previously asked - it would have been gracious to acknowledge that.
  3. The markets will remain rangebound so long as QE is the main determinant of their level. Bad news is automatically balanced by the increased likelihood of more QE (ie inflation) so share prices remain fairly static. Good news makes QE less likely, so vice versa.
  4. At times of surplus, the spill price on to the National Grid can (and indeed does) go negative. So you end up paying money for having generated at a time of excess. Some may see this as a problem, but then making a profit is not really the idea behind windpower is it. Windpower as a novelty is fine if people want to waste their money, but you can't run even a small country on it. We need to stop all the subsidies and inflation of the electricity price through onerous regulations if we want the UK to have a viable power supply next decade.
  5. But the south pole is cooling and ice extent growing, so your point is based on an incorrect assumption anyway (and don't throw that idiotic Steig report at me). This might be part of the polar see-saw, where one pole cools as another warms over the decadal timeframe. I started my analysis in 1998 as that's when the cooling started.
  6. Learn more here http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/28/nasa...limate-history/ GISS have been, as controllers of the data, cooling past data and warming up current data. It would be like the Office of National Statistics choosing to say the economy was much smaller in 1997 in order to make out growth has been faster under Labour. More on Hansen http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/23/dr-j...a-giss-arrested
  7. The GISS data is riddled with errors, and run by James Hansen who fiddles the data to show more warming. Scientists shouldn't have a stake in the game like Hansen. The Satellite data match the data from Hadley Climate Research Unit - we've been cooling ever since 1998. The sun is implicated.
  8. They've been predicting the hottest year on record for over a decade now and it still hasn't occurred. Weather harms things. El Nino just causes a different distribution of harm.
  9. Human civilisation has always prospered at times of high numbers of sunspots. That is because higher numbers of sunspots correlates with higher global temperatures, which are good for us.
  10. El Nino and La Nina happen fairly regularly and are standard weather phenomenon. Nothing to see here. The quiet spell the Sun is going into is much more serious.
  11. Good post. Exactly how much wind or solar output did we get in the brutally cold spell we had this winter. Zero. Our whole energy policy is in a complete mess thanks to the guilt-ridden post-socialist climate-change scum who have found the next great scam to make everyone's lives more difficult. It says it all that their Leader Al Gore uses 10 times the energy the average American uses to heat/cool his home, and that's for someone who half the time is flying around the world lecturing the next group of gullible idiots on pseudo-science to get them to invest in his Renewables Investment company. I just hope more people get woken up to this scam in time to stop too many billions of wastage.
  12. Either 9% or 5% increase depending on whether you consider it vs. basic pay or vs. basic&shift supplement.
  13. Hey, I've just bought some shares in company X, you should too, it has a massive future. If solar had a massive future it wouldn't need government subsidy or market manipulations (that make electricity more expensive for everyone).
  14. There's a reason why the initial poster ignored financial viability.
  15. And financial profitability is irrelevant. Welcome to green energy.
  16. Probably because they know sea levels aren't going to rise, temperatures are going to fall (further) thanks to the oncoming Grand Solar Minimum, and that the whole of global warming science was a fraud designed for political ends and one of the worst scientific scams we have had to endure.
  17. You're assuming that demand is a constant. People may sensibly choose to live closer to work. A 20 minute walk in here, great to be back having a BBQ at 5:15pm while everyone else is choking on each others' fumes to get to the suburbs an hour away.
  18. The FTSE will fall below 4000 as a result of there seemingly now less threat of the currency it is denominated in being QuEased more significantly. More QE means an appreciating FTSE. In fact, the threat of further QE is the only thing that matters to the FTSE for the next few months. All the bad news is otherwise priced in.
  19. A trick learnt from climate scientists (so they ought to be predicting a new Ice Age shortly )
  20. Aberystwyth, but I'd also invest enough to make sure the beach was perpetually sandy. Spend my days playing snooker on the pier, free pool in the Mill, having a surf and turf in Yr Hen Orsaf and drinking cheap beer in the Union.
  21. The QE Put provides a very robust floor to the market.
  22. Presumably a lefty. Their trust in so-called experts knows no limit. It's because they can't figure things out for themselves.
