As If It Weren't Bad Enough
Global warming will lead to an increase in zombie attacks.
I blame George Bush.
Fortunately, some of us have been prepared for a while.
Fortunately, Rand continues with an update:
[Mid-afternoon update]
Saved by the sun:The Canadian Space Agency's radio telescope has been reporting Flux Density Values so low they will mean a mini ice age if they continue.
Like the number of sunspots, the Flux Density Values reflect the Sun's magnetic activity, which affects the rate at which the Sun radiates energy and warmth. CSA project director Ken Tapping calls the radio telescope that supplies NASA and the rest of the world with daily values of the Sun's magnetic activity a "stethoscope on the Sun." In this case, however, it is the "doctor" whose health is directly affected by the readings.
This is because when the magnetic activity is low, the Sun is dimmer, and puts out less radiant warmth. If the Sun goes into dim mode, as it has in the past, the Earth gets much colder.
Take that, undead!
The Canadian Space Agency's Flux Density Values page is here:
Flux Density Values
The value for today is 71.8 and the lowest recorded was from 64 to 68
The home page for their Flux observations is here:
SOLAR RADIO MONITORING PROGRAMME
And they have archival data going back to 1947
