Skip the Holidays cut up the credit cards, kill the TV and pay the neighbor kid to shovel snow. Less problems in summer don’t have to shovel snow.

Also, the shorter days have a deleterious effect on the immune system, but don’t bother trying to tell Ralph that. He is immune to facts, and his immune system is strong. He must have had the party line forced into him in somebody’s basement.

does a cow really contribute co2. the Danes are going to tax a farmer $100/cow for generating co2 but not the house that has a lawn? If the cow didn’t eat the grass the it wold still make co2
It is the methane them naughty olde cows are burping.
They are also restoring wetlands. Approximately 30% of atmospheric methane release comes from wetlands.
Abstract
Observations have shown small day-to-day stratiform cloud opacity responses, together with those of surface pressure, to variations in the ionosphere-earth current density (JZ). We model the day-to-day and seasonal/bi-decadal changes in area-integrated ionospheric potential (Vi) near the magnetic poles due to solar wind electric field inputs. The overhead value of Vi, divided by the local column resistance (R) determines JZ, where the conductivity of the column is the result of ionization by galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar and magnetospheric energetic particle precipitation. These vary with latitude, not only on the day-to-day timescale (e.g., Forbush decreases and magnetic storm disturbance dynamos), but also on the decadal and bi-decadal and century timescales of the solar activity and GCR variations. We compare area-integrals of the amplitude of the JZ variations due to Vi changes to those due to the GCR changes, for evaluating their global effectiveness in affecting cloud microphysics and weather and climate changes. The day-to-day and bi-decadal correlated weather and climate variations indicate JZ rather than other solar forcings as mainly responsible for the correlations. The decadal and longer climate responses to space weather are not large; however, understanding them could help improve predictions of future climate change due to greenhouse gases.

Ralph says, ” Even in the mild climate of Los Angeles County, there are seasonal variations in the development of coronary artery death, with 33% more deaths occuring in December and January than in June through September.
Apparently the authors of this study have jumped to the conclusion that the reason for this disparity is the difference in temperatures between the two seasons cited, as if this is the only difference between the two seasons.
As I pointed out earlier, the length of day is much shorter in the latter season, leading to a significant weakening of the immune system, at least from the drop in vitamin D3 due to less exposure to sunlight and perhaps other reasons related to sunlight exposure as well. Also, with less UV from the sun, pathogens will grow more abundantly.
As Dirk pointed out, the stresses during the latter season are greatly increased over the earlier season, and of course people are mainly eating foods that are loaded with sugar and fats and deleterious chemicals, in addition to doing strenuous work they are unaccustomed to, like shoveling snow.
Allen, I don’t know if you have any training in the scientific method, but the main principle used in running scientific experiments is the principle of changing only one variable at a time, so that you can determine that whatever result you get is due to that one variable and no other.
I have just mentioned a number of variables between these two seasons. Yes, temperature is one of them, but it is far from the only one. And these are just off the top of my head. I’m sure there are more.
Furthermore, the article Ralph cited states within itself that the climate used is mild, ie: not subject to the extreme swings of temperature found in other places. If the difference in temperatures were the only causative factor, and the temperature variation is slight, why would there be such a large difference in the number of these deaths. Surely that alone points to the presence of other causative factors.
Hey, Dirk –

What ‘icy’ weekend are you on about old mate? You mean normal winter temperatures ? Because snow to 1000 metres is a very normal occurrence for VIC … we’re talking about a state that has been known to snow at sea-level for goodness sake. 1000 metres is nearly a ski resort elevation in VIC.
^To add onto this with an example, Aberfeldy VIC at 1060 metres has an average of 32.5 snowy days annually. That’s almost as snowy as Minneapolis (38.1 days) and more than thrice as snowy as New York City (11.4 snowy days). So I’d be very careful about calling snow like it’s something ‘special’ in VIC if I were you….. we’re a lot snowier than our stereotype suggests. Places like Parkes and even Condobolin in the desert used to get snow in the 1900s.
Methane is a very weak GHG, and anyhow, what impact would little Finland have regarding global warming/cooling.
The oceans provides approx. 95% of CO2 in the atmosphere and probably a bit more with the recent warming of the oceans.
So if you listen to Prof. Happer, additional CO2 impact will diminish logarithmically.
And all those alarmists that worry about the Artic melting, well ocean-based ice has little impact on sea-level. Antarctica and Greenland hold all the land based water and Antarctica is certainly not warming.

Should I really question everything all the time?
The relevant questions are (1) can you do anything to fix everything you learn is going wrong? and (2) how does it make you feel to know what all is going wrong?
For me, the answers are “no” and “sh*tty”. So all I want to know is what is likely to hit me today or tomorrow, and I’ll be content to ignore the rest.

Very good Sir.
Facts scare AGW and that means we are correct.
Holiday shopping and stress then the credit card bills come in January stroke season.

Oops, …and that causes our blood pressure to rise which causes an increase in blood pressure, and that …
Doesn’t prove SC26 will be weak and it’s cold now. Random stats.

It is the methane them naughty olde cows are burping.
They are also restoring wetlands. Approximately 30% of atmospheric methane release comes from wetlands.
I restored and built wetlands for Earth Enterprises a Landscape Co.
This wetland we built was off site mitigation for another wetland that got filled in for a construction project down the Valley. Dug a pit in a cow pasture then planted 160,000 wetland plants in the water and around the pond. We went out and cut 30,000 four foot Willow cuttings as part of the package. I had twelve Labor Ready workers in wetsuits planting in the water IN WINTER. We started in November went to March. I brought plants out with a Tucker Snowcat and Asbuilt mapped all plantings.
This wetland is both sides of a Freeway, it filters Freeway runoff that feeds into the river which has lots of Salmon. Indirectly and directly a Fisheries related project which is what I went to College for. Marine Bio.
ACtive Creek on the other side of the Freeway we restored at the same time has juvenile Salmon that’s what they need to survive.
The first job I got with that Co we worked on a 160 acre site for a year it became a Biz Park new buildings and roads we mover the Creek to original position and rebuilt wetlands and new jogging paths for workers.
