Volcanic activity and earthquakes a-coming

It’s pretty obvious to sensible people that when it comes to the climate and weather on this planet, our Sun is the major influence.  Now, of course there will be ‘deniers’, especially within the community who don’t look at the entire bigger picture, and, in order to maintain their huge funding, have to persist with the ‘Man-Made’ Global Warming scare. They do this by looking at a tiny weeny bit of the picture rather than taking a ‘holistic’ approach to understanding things.

Among those ‘global warmists’ who ignore the Sun and what it gets up to in order to keep convincing themselves that ‘we are all doomed and we are to blame’, are those who study just a brief part of the ‘everything’ that happens on Earth and ignore the rest.  Why do they do that?

I’ve done the chicken on a spit analogy before, but it does help focus understanding: Let’s pretend planet Earth is a chicken on a rotisserie rotating in front of a massive wall of flames, and, hey I know it should be gas, but for the purpose of discussion let’s say that wall of flames is from a large piece of wood on fire.  Yum, I’m feeling hungry already.

The point being that as the wood burns, the flames it emits, and heat it provides has subtle modulations to it depending on what about or within the wood is currently burning.  At times the wood will crackle and spit flames towards the chicken.  At other times it will have dull spots that glow rather than have open flames.  All of this will give very subtle changes to the heat being delivered to the chicken in order to cook it.  Taken as, say, an hour or so of ‘cooking’, none of this subtle variation will matter much because an average amount of heat over the period will have completed the job of making the chicken ready for hungry mouths to feed on.  Bloody hell, I’m salivating now.

So, let’s slow this whole thing down and find a tiny and minutest part of the chicken and analyse what variations and reactions there are for a period of, say, 10 seconds.  In the complex collection of patterns and transference of heat, that 10 second analysis, broken down millisecond by millisecond, will no doubt show a trend.  Maybe it’ll be a cooling trend, a warming trend, or a bit of both.  Some of it will relate to the chicken self-basting and transferring heat around itself, and some will relate to the response to the direct and pounding heat coming from the burning wood.  But, without seeing the bigger picture of the relationship between the slightly spluttering heat source and the chicken by taking a holistic approach, the debate could be blinkered.  Hence the confused logic as to why or how the subtle warming or cooling trend was coming about, and search for clues on the chicken.  Actually, this will more likely be a searching of the chicken for someone to blame.

“Oh look, we’ve discovered a species of tiny microbes living on the chicken, let’s blame them, it’s got to be something to do with the waste they emit.”  That’s the modern Global Warmist way of thinking.  Silly, isn’t it?

Those that study the Sun don’t do that silly thinking.  They know that as it coughs and splutters there are direct responses down here on Earth, and those responses are measurable.  In extreme cases, our planet reacts with earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.  Again, think chicken, and think about increased heat causing steam to burst through the skin and up into the chicken’s atmosphere. Lordy, I’m hungry!

Take for example, the splutter, or Coronal Mass ejection and solar flares and the subsequent geomagnetic storm that just happened.  These should mean that between now and Saturday (2nd July 2011) our planet will react with quite violent earthquakes or other seismic activity somewhere as the tectonic plates move under the increased influence.  Volcanic activity should dramatically increase as the planet, like the chicken, lets off steam.  Well, not steam but magma, but you know what I mean.  It’ll be very noticeable, and yet the Global Warming industry will still maintain that the Sun has little to no influence over our planet.

So then.  That’s something the highly expensive Met Office won’t tell you to watch for this week, isn’t it.
