LONDON: Sunspots, rather than “greenhouse” gases from the burning of fossil fuels, may be responsible for the rise in global temperatures in the past 200 years, it was claimed on Wednesday.

Astronomers at Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland have studied meteorological records going back to 1795, which point to a strong link between air temperatures on Earth and solar activity.

It is not the number of sunspots which affects the Earth’s climate, according to Dr Butler, but the length of the sunspot cycle. This averages about 11 years, but periods when the cycle becomes shorter correspond to greater solar activity and greater energy output.

Dr Butler pointed out that during the past 20 years, the solar cycle has been abnormally short (about 9.6 years) and the Earth’s weather abnormally warm. On the other hand, a period in the late 17th century known as “The Little Ice Age” when the Thames froze in winter, correspond ed with an abnormally long solar cycle, when sunspots virtually stopped for about 60 years.

The number of hot days in the Chicago area has plummeted since the 19th century, and the summer of 1995 had an average number of hot days.

So what happened in 1995? The Daley administration mishandled the heatwave, and old people were afraid to open their windows because the high crime rate. Most of the US heat deaths that summer occurred in Chicago, because of the mess Democrats had made there.

Chicago’s two worst heat waves occurred in 1897 and 1936, when CO2 levels were below 310 PPM.

Theresa May hoped to appease London based terrorists by voting against the US.  A clear message that terrorism works, and that Islam now calls the shots in the UK.

December 22 temperatures peaked in the US in 1933, and have been declining for a century.

On this date in 1933, it was 89 degrees in Texas, 82 degrees in New Mexico, 71 degrees here in Boulder, 73 degrees in Nebraska, 66 degrees in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. More than half of the US was over 60 degrees.
