Nir Shaviv On Solar Activity

A couple of weeks ago, the Financial Post had this piece from Nir Shaviv, which gives a lucid summary of his position on the influence of the sun.

 

The IPCC and others blame CO2 for increases in sea levels, ignoring evidence that shows the sun to be the cause.

For many years we have been told that global warming is unprecedented over the past 100 years, that human industrial activity is by far the dominant driver of 20th century climate change, and that nothing else is important.

Years ago, I too accepted this idea. After all, it came from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was supposed to summarize the leading consensus on the subject. Having grown up in a solar house, it also naturally fit my environment-friendly background.

    Nir Shaviv offers two graphs – one ends 2001, the 2010.

    The obvious question is why?

    There is a more detailed article by Nir Shaviv here

    not sure if the graphs go any further forward though

      Thanks, Ben. This is a good article.

      Thanks, but shame about the black text on a dark-grey background on that blog. I have to lie down in a dark room for an hour after reading Lubos Motl’s blog, this one looks worse!

        Hmmm, Internet Explorer makes it readable (black text on white background), Firefox makes it unreadable (black text on dark-grey background).

    It never ceases to amaze me that the warmist fools still think that CO2 can be shown to have an effect on, say, rising sea levels.
    Taking a look at the graph on the link you gave Paul, it’s obvious that there is a steady increase in sea levels. Indeed there has also been a steady increase in the rate of GHG over the same period.
    So comparing the two graphs a naive fool would instantly conclude that this shows conclusive proof of causation.
    What they also believe is that rising carbon dioxide has a virtually instantaneous effect on sea levels, storms, drought, etc. which, of course, is total rubbish.
    These fools believe that the first smoke stack built at the beginning of the industrial revolution must have had some effect on the climate.

      Many years ago, Dr. Nir Shaviv published the first clear description of assumptions behind the Standard Solar Model.

      Much later I realized that the internal composition of the Sun had been changed without discussion or debate from:

      1. Mostly iron (Fe) in 1945 to
      2. Mostly hydrogen (H) in 1946

      Fred Hoyle exposed this basic flaw in the Standard Solar Model on pages 153-154 of his 1994 autobiography.

    Chaos And Uncertainty Principle. From Theory To Everyday Practice.
    Chaotic systems being deterministic the same initial conditions will have the same effects if… IF nothing is left out (a small factor like the Sun) and IF the measurements are correct.

    Popes, Politicians, United Nations and United National Academies of Sciences’ 500 year Battle with Reality

    If the conclusions of this paper [1] are correct, as strongly suggested by nine pages of precise experimental data and thousands of precise experimental data points they represent, . . .

    then the Pontifical Academy of Sciences is as guilty as other National Academies of Sciences (NAS) worldwide in deceiving themselves and the public about the source of energy that:

    1. Made our chemical elements
    2. Birthed the solar system 5 Ga ago
    3. Sustained the origin and evolution of life on Earth after ~3.8 Ga ago, and
    4. Still sustains every atom and life and the climate of every planet in the Solar System today . . .

    the same FOUNTAIN OF ENERGY Copernicus identified in 1543 as the gravitational center of the Solar System.

    Thanks, Paul.
    It seems like Dr. Shaviv is back.
    Welcome!

    Am I missing something Paul??
    The first Graph on the ‘Carbon Week’ link, it appears to me that the Reconstructed Solar Flux actually LAGS (or follows after) the sea level changes by years for most of the graph, that’s a strange way to prove the sun drives the sea level??
    I would appreciate your comment cause I am genuinely confused,
