November 26, 2006Global Warming and CyclesOn October 28th, 2006, the 7th Southern New England Weather Conference was held. Joe D'Aleo - Alternative view of climate change - was one of the presentors. You can download his two slide decks here. D'Aleo argues that cycles in solar activity and ocean flows are more significant, and offer more useful explanations, than changes in the amount of CO2 in atmosphere. According to D'Aleo, some Russians think that 2022, the end of sun cycle 25, will mark the beginning of a period of significant cooling -- even to the degree of a mini-ice age. Some of D'Aleo's slides are very compelling. Is there a climate dynamics model that integrates solar energy output, ocean cycles, CO2, Methane etc? As Robert Steele writes: It would appear to be prudent to look at all this stuff across at least 5 centuries and ideally ten, and certainly be acutely conscious of 2025-2075 time frame in terms of planning and not over-correcting for a "temporary" half century cycle.
