Sun spots astounding?

When I looked for Danish research I found this. I'm sure you can find stuff
to counter anything anyone else can come up with, but never less:

"Eigil Friis-Christensen and Knud Lassen published an article in Science
claiming a "strikingly
good agreement" between solar cycle lengths (that is, the fluctuating
lengths of the cycles undergone by the number of sunspots) and northern
hemisphere land temperatures. ....

Today, more data have become available, which shows properly filtered solar
cycle lengths....

Now the sensational agreement with the recent global warming, which drew
worldwide attention, has totally disappeared. 

Nevertheless, the authors and other researchers keep presenting the old
misleading graphs and data."

Their data have been included in Danish textbooks and remains there.  

Just sayin'

It may be time to ban myself from this discussion. This may be a little more
political than it should be - maybe? 

I am a skeptic and I don't belong to any religion, and certainly not that of
Global Warming.


India, China and the U.S. have agreed to sit down and talk this over. There
is money to be made in "green Tech".  I'd expect we here in the good ole USA
are in a good position to be at the forefront of that technology.  It's the
next "bubble".

What's the worst we can do? Clean things up a little?

No, we won't ruin our economy.  If our economy could sustain the assault
that Wall Street, the captains of industry, and the forces that champion our
government have put on it (both parties), and even they weren't able to
destroy it over the last few years, it must be almost indestructible.

Of course YRMV. 

I really do appreciate what I have learned here and this discussion has
peaked my interest on the subject.  Thanks for that.

And PS:  I am a BIG proponent of nuclear power production and I'm somewhat
excited over new designs and technology. For cars: Battery tech. and
something that marries a battery with something like an ultra compositor
sounds nice.  Making electricity to make hydrogen and putting that into a
fuel cell to make electricity and turning that into mechanical? - not so
much. 

OK, I ban myself from further discussion.

When solar sunspot cycles are plotted versus annual changes in the 
Earth's temperature using data from the Danish Meteorology Institute 
in Copenhagen, the correlation is astounding! Carbon dioxide levels 
are not relevant.

The August 28, 2009, issue of SCIENCE describes how a team of 
scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research used a 
century's worth of data and powerful computer analyses to show how 
small changes in solar activity including sun spot cycles can cause 
significant changes in the Earth's climate.

Along these lines, Professor R. Timothy Patterson, Director of the 
Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center in Canada has been quoted as 
saying, "carbon dioxide variations show little correlation with our 
planet's climate on long-, medium-, and even short-term time scales."
