To get this into perspective Ive searched WUWT for "game changer" and found nine separate game changers.

And when it did, cosmic rays came screaming into the Earth system and you see, in basically all sedimentary records, this peak of cosmic ray produced nuclides". <br /><br />(He displayed <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySWbrLnrn0o/TlexV9V0SKI/AAAAAAAAAFc/ner6WYMW6HY/s1600/the+climate+ignores+it.PNG" rel="nofollow">this chart</a>)<br /><br />"We had a BIG cosmic ray signal, and the climate ignores it. And its just about that simple. These cosmic rays didn't do enough that you can see it."<br /><br />Stephen Chu, at the height of Climategate, challenged the civilization threatening insanity of the attitude of many in the media who report what deniers concoct as if their statements are in some way equal to the opinions of legitimate scientists, as if there were two poles in a "debate". He said this: <br /><br />"If you look at the climate skeptics, I would have to say honestly, what standard are they being held to?"<br />david lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01057820755734099375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25163458.post-66689093157661558242012-12-14T20:15:45.508-05:002012-12-14T20:15:45.508-05:00Even if the proposed mechanism was a driver of clo...Even if the proposed mechanism was a driver of cloud formation, the signal is in the wrong direction the past few years, suggesting it could not be a significant player.<br />Simon Donnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844831377442275615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25163458.post-60409997366131339932012-12-14T19:58:16.990-05:002012-12-14T19:58:16.990-05:00But we did

No one doubts that cosmic rays can leave ion tracks in the atmosphere, and no one doubts that this is an important mechanism for ionization in the atmosphere. The question is whether it is rate limiting for forming clouds and the answer to that one appears to be no.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.com
