Yeah, didn't we all say this last year?

Is this guy nuts? Having a moon CAUSES a wobble! So much for basic physics! For proof of this, I offer one word- TIDES. Now, if a planet had more than one moon, and if these moons were of equal mass, and if they were distributed perfectly and symmetrically around the planet, then they would have a stabilizing influence. That's a lot of "ifs". A single moon shifts the center of gravity away from the center of the planet, and moves it to somewhere between the planet and its moon. If there is more than one moon, the center of gravity of the whole system will be in a location dependent upon the relative masses of the objects in the system, and their exact position at any instance of time. For example, an elliptical orbit or orbits will cause the center of gravity of the system to constantly change, producing an even more pronounced wobble.The center of rotation of the system is always at the center of gravity. Another proof: Neptune was discovered mathematically and its location pinpointed by observing wobbles in the Sun's rotation! This guy (Wilson) needs to go back to school, and pay attention this time.

You might be on to something here, Burgher!

Perhaps the UN's massive tax plan will result in this, and save our planet.

Kudos for an excellent point.

Of course the answer to your question is they can only promote their agendas. They cannot be expected to analyze different situations and comprehend potential cause and effect. You know, that "connecting the dots" thing.

Typical lefty thinking: Find a scapegoat for your own stupidity. What God was really trying to tell this poor guy is that you shouldn't take your snowmobile out on thin ice. Happens here in my neck of the woods all winter long. Most of the time those who venture out on the ice with their snowmobiles do so late at night after spending some time at local establishments on the lakes' shores getting good and drunk.

Stonecutter, that would have to be a hydrogen tax.  In the current life stage of the sun, it is turning hydrogen into helium and releasing energy.  So, the UN needs to tell the sun that it can only turn so much hydrogen to helium in a given time period at a constant rate (no variability), or the sun will have to pay an "excess energy production tax" to the UN.  Good luck trying to collect, there, UN.

This study reviewed the work you are citing and these researchers disagree with those in your reference.

"But a 2003 study by a group headed by Columbia's Richard Willson, principal investigator of the ACRIM experiments, challenged the previous satellite interpretations of solar output. Willson and his colleagues concluded, rather that their analysis revealed a significant upward trend in average solar luminosity during the period"

Notice that Wilson was working with the same raw data as your reference was.

Moreover, any reasonably well educated analyst can read that study you are quoting and see that they had a gap in their data from 1980-1984 which they "adjusted" to fit their model.  The published report doesn't cointain any raw data.  Their preliminary results show a solar irradiance variation which has a periodicity of 22 years.  This should be familiar, even to you, Wobbler.  It is both identical in period and synchronized with, the sun spot cycle.  A quick examination of their numericaly massaged final results at the bottom of the report shows they have tried to factor out the variations casued by the sun spot cyle. Their preliminary results show solar irradiance intensity closely tracks sunspot activity, which agrees with every other such study I have ever seen.  But their final result says there has been no change in irradiance.  Yet all competent heliologists agree that sunspot activity has been changing over the last 30 years.  The wikipedia reference [not authoritative] also suggests that combined solar activity proxies have been increasing monotonically since 1900.  This says solar irradiance has been increasing, and by a lot over the last century.

I think your guys got it wrong.  period.
