Dr. Sally Baliunas discusses the history of people’s reactions to extreme weather.
When extreme weather in Europe centuries ago made people fearful, it led to many people being tortured and killed for “weather cooking” with the help of Satan.

I saw Iowa state Senator Rob Hogg in New Hampshire plugging his Global Warming book – he said some Prof Takly (his local climate expert in Iowa?) assured him the 2008 Cedar Rapids floods were so severe because of AGW. Worst since 1960’s.
His next stop was going to be Massachusetts, so I asked him if he would be visiting Salem. He said no. I don’t think he or his audience really understood…
With all due respect, there’s a big difference between using witchcraft tests and Satanic superstition to explain weather changes & scientific research and evidence: http://youtu.be/ldVF6sGNltU

And you believe that MSM stuff. The only thing they had right was the CO2 going up steadily. They never show the south pole. That looked like a river flood to me. How do rising sea levels create volcanoes? Data shows sea levels are rising at the rate of under 8″ per century.
And you have no “skin in the game”? Do you look at the data presented on this site at all?
I prefer this graph for temperature:

I really don’t think its anything to get worried about.
I think solar panels are fine for calculators, small electronic gadgets, attic fans, house rooftops, swimming pool heaters etc., but damaging the landscape with large solar arrays is increasing the cost of energy. Can you exist without government money in the mix?

—————–Too bad that video of the Arctic doesn’t have recent data added in. Then we could all cheer the amazing rebound from the dregs of 2012.

I looked at your website. I have no problem with your solar company, as long as it isn’t getting subsidies from the government.
If I had a house in the CA southern desert, how much would it cost to get the full monty?
Including hot water heating. Are there any rebates for me either from the state or federal government? If my electric bill cost say $200/mo, how many months would it take to pay off the 200/mo and when will my electric meter start going backwards?
If you look at sorcery, superstition, and witchcraft on the surface, they each involve misattributing causation. For example, a person believes that a small ritual, or an object like a rabbit’s foot, will attract some events or people, or perhaps repel others.
Whenever cause and effect are unknown, obscured, muddied, misattributed, or covered, superstitious attitudes can develop.
It may be that low solar activity has a causal relationship with well known historic periods of low temperatures, and with the increased earthquakes and volcanoes (which then cause further cooling) of those same periods. Here is an interesting graph from EM Smith’s site:

Yet it must be said that a personal belief in the ultimate power and triumph of good and truth over falsehood and evil is not equivalent to superstitious beliefs.
Well, the climate did improve after all those witches were burned, didn’t it? So geoengineering works!
