DocDave posted this a little while back under the heading of The Cosmological Effects On Climate Change and it was received with a collective yawn, the readership evidently preferring to bicker over smaller things.
What was lost in that shuffle was very good ammo to smite any Global Warming Gore-oid about the head and shoulders for being such a knave.
Not only is the Earth greatly affected by changes taking place within its own molten core and in the composition of the Sun itself other planets in this system are being greatly affected as well.
Long story short: our galaxy, really a small one as far as galaxies go, is being gobbled up by a much, much larger galaxy and we are coming abreast of the galactic gravitational disk.
We of the overarching Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy have finally come down next to, and even with the massively powerful spiral armed equatorial plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.
In our movement through space, our Earth has now fully begun to respond to the more powerful galactic energies and electro-gravitational bias of the massive Milky Way. We have reached the higher energy equatorial disc region of the massive spiral arm. We have now been “adopted” by a new system, a stronger and more powerful system, and we can expect changes on almost every level of energy.
Whatever these changes are, they are all part of the natural birth, death, rebirth and transformation of the cosmos. As our knowledge of the universe grows, we cannot but understand how much we do not understand. Such is life.
What it also means is that it doesn’t make a lick of a difference to our ability to change the climate if you use light bulb A or light bulb B, whether you have the carbon footprint of a poor, pensioned spinster or of the jet-setting AlGore.
It also means that if the Global Warming types know all this stuff it would be the equivalent of an old wizard scaring the peasantry into doing his bidding after he threatens to take away the Sun, even though he knows it’s just a regularly-scheduled eclipse.
If they don’t know, then they should be schooled.
Either way, if Obama or McCain allowed to go forward with their asinine and incredibly destructive Cap-and-Trade policies, we will all be reduced to penniless serfs and for no good reason.
