Merry Christmas and thanks to Anthony and all at WUWT for shining a light of reason in a dark night of irrationality.

Merry Christmas!
I found two interesting items from NASA’s own pages:
1. From Voyager Makes an Interstellar Discovery:

“The fact that the Fluff is strongly magnetized means that other clouds in the galactic neighborhood could be, too. Eventually, the solar system will run into some of them, and their strong magnetic fields could compress the heliosphere even more than it is compressed now. Additional compression could allow more cosmic rays to reach the inner solar system, possibly affecting terrestrial climate and the ability of astronauts to travel safely through space. On the other hand, astronauts wouldn’t have to travel so far because interstellar space would be closer than ever. These events would play out on time scales of tens to hundreds of thousands of years, which is how long it takes for the solar system to move from one cloud to the next. (my emphasis)

Someone should show this to Henrik Svensmark. Cosmic rays affecting the Earth’s climate? When everyone knows it has been humans over the last 100 years or so- the science is settled, doncha know. This must not have been submitted to James Hansen for review.
2. Even though the caption below the SOHO image of the blank sun says “The Earth-facing side of the sun is blank–no sunspots. Image credit: SOHO/MDI”, and the caption below the farside image says “This holographic image reveals no sunspots on the far side of the sun. Image credit: SOHO/MDI”, the sunspot number is listed as: “Sunspot number: 11
What is the sunspot number?
Updated 24 Dec 2009”.
Question: why is the sunspot number 11 when there are no sunspots at all? Have they just not updated the number yet? Just an amateur being curious.

Many Many thanks to Anthony and the team for this blog. Wishing all concerned a Merry Christmas and as much skeptical success next year as this year. It has been a hoot!

Happy Newton’s Birthday today! He was one of the early ones who began the scientific enlightenment full swing away from dogma by decree and whim towards the superior scientific method. He also shows that it’s the work of a scientist that matters, work that can be verified or refuted by others. In the end Einstein was proved more accurate yet Newton is used in just about all engineering projects today (when you cross that bridge or go into that skyscraper your life depends on Newton’s equations) except for those that need to consider relativistic scales (such as the GPS systems for example). So happy birthday Newton!
Seasons Greetings. Keep up the amazing work Anthony, Steve and everyone else seeking the facts in an open and verifiable manner.

We’re about to get “On the Road for Christmas” (a trucker song by Red Simpson), heading south from Massachusetts to meet up with our daughter and family in Virginia at her in-laws, so here I come to this site run by a weatherman, and—no weather! Nothing but climate!
Just kidding. Contrary to Dylan, you DO need a weatherman (sorry—meteorologist) to tell you which way the wind is blowing, and that man is Anthony Watts.
Thanks for creating the most valuable time-sink on the Internet. And have a very Merry Christmas!
