Climate change is an alarmist myth

In this letter I will demonstrate that anthropogenic [man made] global warming/climate change is an alarmist myth.

NASA is reporting that the sun is entering one of the deepest solar minima of the Space Age, and Earth’s atmosphere is responding in kind.

“We see a cooling trend,” said Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center in the September 2018 issue of the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

“High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.”

The new data is coming from NASA’s Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument, which is on board the space agency’s Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite. SABER monitors infrared radiation from the carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a vital role in the energy output of our thermosphere, the very top level of our atmosphere.

“The thermosphere always cools off during Solar Minimum. It’s one of the most important ways the solar cycle affects our planet,” said Mlynczak, who is the associate principal investigator for SABER.

Mlynczak and his colleagues have created the Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI), which measures how much NO is dumped from the thermosphere into outer space. During solar maximum the TCI number is very high. At times solar minimum, is low.

“Right now, TCI is very low indeed,” said Mlynczak. “SABER is currently measuring 33 billion watts of infrared power from NO. That’s ten times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle.”

In fact, TCI numbers are now very close to setting record lows since measurements began.

According to Fox 8 News at 5 p.m., weatherman Andre Bernier has stated our temperatures for sometime now have been well below normal and Andre’s integrity is above reproach.

It seems that too many people have eyes but cannot see and have ears and cannot hear.
