*middle, A 12-year low in solar "irradiance"

From the NASA quote, "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."

Careful measurements, my ass. Careful measurements demand careful
reporting. A 0.1% variance in solar irradiance is "normal'. What is
happening is not "normal". What was meant (to be not disclosed) is
"that the sun's brightness has dropped by" 0.2% " at visible
wavelengths and" *6% "at extreme UV wavelengths since the solar
minimum of 1996."

On a Kevin scale the earth sits "normally" at 288 K. 0.2% * 288 K. =
0.576 K. The trouble with the alleged "geniuses" at NASA is that none
of them can do high school math.

Hunger is due to weather, famine is due to politics.

All that counts is their job and benefits security, and they got that
nailed.

btw, at the peak of an ice age, roughly every 100,000 years, our sun
must have turned itself way the hell down by several percent. Neat
trick for such a massive ball of mostly hydrogen and some helium.
