Next SunSpot Cycle to be 50% More Intense

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/03/07/solar.storm.ap/index.html

In the latest news from the other planets, scientist now claim that the next sunspot cycle will be much more intense than normal, and is believed to start in about 2 1/2 years.

The next sunspot cycle will be between 30 percent to 50 percent more intense than the last one, scientists said Monday.

I wonder how they will blame Bush, the US and Polution for that one.

And how did Bush do this?

Still trying to figure out the how, but the why?  He wants the kennbunkport compound to be the new Florida retreat!

Can we somehow use it to fry the Avian Flu as it spreads?

Now that is an idea!  Eggs Benedict on the sidewalks!

Damn it,

As much as I hate Bush, I think it might be hard press to actually stick this one on him.
I will not give up though. I will find a way.

Maybe Bush will surprise us one morning with:

"
Good morning citizens, this morning we launched a pre-emptive strike against the Sun for fear it was harboring Al Qaeda.
You see we just can't take a chance that they are there...
we destroyed the sun to stop it's harmful rays.
we destroyed the sun to stop terrorism.
we destroyed the sun to spread democracy in the region.
And besides it was just plain easier than signing the Kyoto agreement.

Thank you,
And God Bless

I think that would be a great Aprils Foolsday joke for Cheney to do to him.

"Umm sir we just launched a strike against the sun for the following reasons, you have to go on public tv and break the news..."

I honestly coud see him falling for it.

"Against the sun?... Well it is always overhead... and it does get in my eyes..."

I wish Chevy Chase and Dan Akroid were still on SNL!  Chevy as Bush and Dan as Cheney!

Excellent!

I was gone from snl then.  I remember Chevy's Fords (Ok, I am old!).

It's ironic, the enviro-wackos are willing to blame the sun for a lot of things. However, if you try to bring up the sun where climate change is concerned, all of the sudden, the sun is somehow left out of the picture.

Of course, it is all the fault of us humans that the climate is changing. It's all our fault that the climate on several other planets has been changing too. I'm sure if we didn't send all those satelites up into the earth's orbit Father Sol wouldn't have had to compensate by increasing sunspot activity... or was it the fact that we slammed a probe into a comet that as the sun all fired up? ;~D

Exactly! (But I was enjoying Sushik's humor). That is the rub! how dare we attempt Global warming when the Sun has the last say!

SushiK, I know YOU were joking, and I actually did enjoy the joke. I wasnt' refering to your posts, but all sorts of conversations with people who truly believe that we humans are the root of all evil on this prestine planet.

With my experience in disasters, I have met the best and worst of them ;~D

I love it when the press writes these kinds of headlines. The actual words the scientists used referring to the computer model's predictions were that sunspot activities may be more severe and could potentially cause communications problems. These guys are basing predictions upon computer models and are often no more accurate in long range predicting than the weather man.

Funny how the press reports it as a definate.

There are days sometimes when you have to just say "Frick it"!  Yesterday was one of them.  I saw this and just thought "I wonder how Bush will be blamed for this", and you picked up on it.  Of course we can laugh.  It is the best medicine.

I figured out the how as well.  It is all the glass that has been created by the nuclear explosions reflecting the sun light back at the sun that is causing it!

"The Sun Abides" does not sell news.  "The Sun Explodes" is front page.
