   The Sky is Falling In according to Gavin:

   As the world reaches a globally significant carbon emissions milestone, the sky is literally falling as as result of climate change, says a top scientist at NASA.

   This year was the hottest year on record according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and saw globally averaged concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere not seen in roughly three million years.

   “Carbon dioxide cools the stratosphere and when the stratosphere cools, it actually shrinks the size of the atmosphere,” Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told National Observer.

   “So if you’re about 80 kilometres up, you actually are seeing the sky falling. It’s going down by a number of kilometres.”

     Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

     That’s hilarious.

     So if the sky keeps on falling we will have to bend over to breath soon?

       Bend over to inhale, stand up to exhale. Bend over to inhale, stand up to exhale…

     In the NASA coverage of the report they state:

     “According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.”

     2003-2008 gaining.
     2002-2005 losing.

       And Solar Cycle 24 is not exactly lively at this time just like in 2009.

         This is going to cut into my Dermatologist’s business.

     FROM NASA — the reason the atmosphere is ‘less puffed up’

     December 17, 2009 NASA: Quiet Sun Means Cooling of Earth’s Upper Atmosphere

     New measurements from a NASA satellite show a dramatic cooling in the upper atmosphere that correlates with the declining phase of the current solar cycle. For the first time, researchers can show a timely link between the Sun and the climate of Earth’s thermosphere, the region above 100 km, an essential step in making accurate predictions of climate change in the high atmosphere….

     “The Sun is in a very unusual period,” said Marty Mlynczak, SABER associate principal investigator and senior research scientist at NASA Langley. “The Earth’s thermosphere is responding remarkably – up to an order of magnitude decrease in infrared emission/radiative cooling by some molecules.”

     The TIMED measurements show a decrease in the amount of ultraviolet radiation emitted by the Sun. In addition, the amount of infrared radiation emitted from the upper atmosphere by nitric oxide molecules has decreased by nearly a factor of 10 since early 2002. These observations imply that the upper atmosphere has cooled substantially since then….

     April 1, 2009 NASA: Deep Solar Minimum

     … Sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower. As of March 31st, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year’s 90 days (87%).

     It adds up to one inescapable conclusion: “We’re experiencing a very deep solar minimum,” says solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center.

     “This is the quietest sun we’ve seen in almost a century,” agrees sunspot expert David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center….

     A 12-year low in solar “irradiance”: Careful measurements by several NASA spacecraft show that the sun’s brightness has dropped by 0.02% at visible wavelengths and 6% at extreme UV wavelengths since the solar minimum of 1996. The changes so far are not enough to reverse the course of global warming, but there are some other significant side-effects: Earth’s upper atmosphere is heated less by the sun and it is therefore less “puffed up.” Satellites in low Earth orbit experience less atmospheric drag, extending their operational lifetimes. Unfortunately, space junk also remains longer in Earth orbit, increasing hazards to spacecraft and satellites.

     Note that CO2 HEATS the stratosphere so more CO2 means more heat and therefore a higher stratosphere.

   The Greens got 500% of the spread between winner and loser in the Y2k election. The Dems lost, assimilated the ENTIRE anti-industrial agenda and won after the Bush asset-forfeiture crash brought back the Hooverville economy of the 1930s. Now ex-scientists willing to lie for work need look no farther than the Democratic (née Econazi) Party for patronage, funding and pats on the back.
   How obvious does stuff have to be before it registers? Republican Party Christian National Socialism, lets face facts, is not the answer to global collectivist pseudoscience financed by Chinese communism.
