Here's the problem with the sun

Newly discovered evidence that polar bears, CO2, climate change, and the sun are intimately connected in ways never envisioned.

No wonder the sun seems to be slowing down.

With apologies to the French, and everybody else for that matter.

Thanks for the laugh. Even though it is funny, maybe you’re on to something. Maybe the ice cold cola is cooling the sun. Or the CO2 is somehow interfering with its nuclear reactions.

Look how skinny that poor polar bear is!
He’s starving!
It’s always so hard being the last surviving cannibal.

Can’t be a Canadian polar bear, they all drink beer and are much wider around the middle.

Anthony, you are on a roll. With all the depressing news, I needed this.

It’s not so much Polar Bears…… But rather Bi-Polar Environmentalists…. 😉 hehe..

It’s a solar polar rendezvous, with a little bubbly.

John,
It’s a French bear. French bears drink wine and watch their weight.

If it’s not the oil companies it’s the big multinationals like Coca-Cola® polluting the atmosphere with all that CO2. Look out Atlanta – another climate change hot spot.
Now I’m thirsty – time to pop a red can…

Hmm, the Sun must be taking sips then. Because if it was guzzling it, I would imagine the pressure would amount to a solar burp (flare) and we haven’t seen one of those for a while. I guess it’s using a straw.

Very nice! You just forgot to mention that the CO2 in the coke is not natural CO2. It’s man-made! For the erudites: anthropogenic!

Doug Janeway,
Sorry I was confused, I thought people might think it was le canadienne-française ours polaire. as we are fond of calling the great white beast of the north.
But as you point out, it must be Parisien or maybe from Versailles. Too skinny for my Canadian blood, too how shall I say, sange froid.

Zappi you make a very good point in jest.
When people try to big note themselves they revert to Latin or Greek. We no longer say “personal attacks” we say “ad hominem”. We don’t say “man-made”, because its sexist, but neither do we say “human-made”, we have to say “anthropogenic”. Five syllables is much better than two or three. And if people need a dictionary to understand then so much the better!
What I have found in my experience is that those that don’t really understand resort to these tactics more readily than those who are truly erudite.
Who coined “anthropogenic global warming” anyway?

I was always convinced Anthropogenic was a buereaucratic construct to sound technical.
As I think I have said before, ban champgne, beer, all sparkling wines, coke, pepsi, 7-up, in fact anything that used “food grade” CO2. That’ll put a dampner on those intellectual greens celebrations!
Why do I get the impression that certain establishments are gradually dropping in little hints here & there that the Sun may have a bigger effect on climate than is generally (IPCC) accpeted? Could it be they are bracing themselves for the, “Oh I always said this was the case but my colleagues wouldn’t believe me” factor in a few years time?

You sense the wheels starting to come off too, do you?

Jerry,
I can’t see the “wheels coming off” anytime soon. AGW is not about science. It is about power and control, and the politicians/press behind it will not cede that control easily. It could take five years of cold weather and serious power shortages to begin to see any cracks in the wall.

I heard some environmentalists wanted to transplant the polars to the south pole since it’s not melting as fast. That was called into question due to the fact that it would make the bears bi-polar. 🙂

Where does the CO2 from Coca Cola come from and where does it go?
Maybe along with beef, we should also ration carbonated beverages? I don’t know where the CO2 in soda comes from, is it extracted from the atmosphere? It doesn’t matter, let’s ban it anyway just in case.

My Little Paper

Abstract:
The carbon cool the sun so that the earth gets cooler and the ice and sea releases less carbon, and we’ll have more polar beers to feed the sun with more carbon which will decrease rapidly in a positive feedback. By evidence in this observation we are now heading towards a bear made ice age.

“I heard some environmentalists wanted to transplant the polars to the south pole since it’s not melting as fast.”
Oh the carnage that would make… all those penguins for food!
There must be a good reason why there are no polar bears in the south pole… maybe it is to darn cold there and there is not that many places where they can fish through the ice.
