Some additional information in the form of images on the South Pole Telescope (SPT)
thought all of you would like to see:

The South Pole site:


Ground based astronomical observations at mm and sub-mm wavelengths place extreme requirements on the transmission and stability of the atmosphere. Steady atmospheric emission loads the bolometric detectors and adds photon noise, reducing overall sensitivity. Fluctuations in atmospheric brightness add noise to the detector timestream data as well.

For these reasons high altitude sites, preferably with stable atmospheric conditions, are needed for ground based observations such as those targeted by the SPT.

Emission from the atmosphere consists of two components, one due to “dry air” which results from the wings of oxygen lines and a second component due to water vapor. The “dry air” component is well-mixed in the atmosphere and produces a signal that is only a function of elevation, commonly removed by beam switching. Water vapor, on the other hand, exhibits considerable variations in its density. These fluctuations in water vapor density result in spatial variations in the brightness of the sky.

. . . Scapegoating the growing problem we face on earth, by asserting that every other planet in our solar system is suffering the same ill effects because of the sun is entirely baseless.

Yet, if warming/climate change is really taking place throughout the Solar System, how can it be considered scapegoating? It's kinda like the phrase used in that Will Smith movie, Enemy of the State . . . "It's not paranoia if they're really after you." If there's really a dark star/unknown rogue planet wreaking havoc, it seems better to prepare for that (mentally, if nothing else) than to become angry, ignore and explain it away.

There is zero evidence for said dark star or rogue planet. Please go throw away your Sitchin books now!

You know, I've actually found myself agreeing with you in various threads on the rare occasion of late, but this is not necessarily one of those times. I need proof that you know for certain that NASA/other org did not observe any Planet X-type of anomaly in 1983, prior or since. When you provide that proof, I'll strongly consider joining you that all this end-time garbage is just that.

Peace be unto thee.

That's just a despicable stock hardcore believer trick. Asking me to DISPROVE something. Well, you wanna know something? It's impossible to disprove most things, including what you just asked me to. You, however, are the one making the claim, so you have the burden of proof. We should not believe something exists until we have proof positive of it, something you cannot provide.

It is despicable, yet you demand it in all the threads you post in. But if you'd stop trying to start fights and read what you read, you would have observed that I said:

if warming/climate change is really taking place throughout the Solar System,

IF warming/climate change... IF . . .
does "IF" really sound like a claim to you? Be honest, now.

We also should not believe something does not exist until we have proof positive of that, either. K?

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!

Your first piece of factual evidence to "corroborate what he says", he being a "Norwegian politician" is complete trash. You're an alarmist and this bogus piece of manipulative propaganda is just another fine example of how easily the truth can be twisted with your "content from external source" windows and ridiculous headline "Pointers to the Approaching Catastrophe."

Here's the post from mikesingh:

NASA’s Warning

NASA has recently published report of an impending disaster due to the sun’s magnetic anomalies that will probably result in destruction of satellite communications, GPS, Air Traffic, and Power Grids and so on. They believe that Solar Cycle 24 will be big and intense, peaking in 2011 or 2012.


Here's the truth:

Recently researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. (fifty years!!!!)
The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
"The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.
"Old magnetic fields swept up then should re-appear as big sunspots in 2010-2011." Dikpati's forecast puts Solar Max at 2012.

The solar max in 2012 will be second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.

The 1958 solar maximum came and went with a yawn.
The 2012 solar max will be less intense. Worried? I'm not.

Folks, right out of the gate this thread is
unnecessarily dramatic (not to mention chalked full of phony facts).

Shall I pick apart the rest of it, or is this good enough?

I think we've got enough to worry about... so, I'm delighted
to derail anyone who gets a rise out of pushing people's panic buttons.
mikesingh's avatar is a skull behind a space suit...
is he looking to scare you? You bet he is! Is it working?? I hope not!
Don't believe the B.S.

Anyone who would like sensible info on 2012 can view my post:

Kind Regards,
Robert

No, it's despicable to ask for disproof. It is very honorable to ask for proof, which I frequently do.

Did you, or did you not make a claim that there is zero evidence for said dark star or rogue planet? I think you did.

I asked for proof of your claim, you provided none, and proceeded into a typical boring rhetorical trollish yap-session, that it was my burden to provide proof. Proof of what? I made no claim.

Sweety, I have neither the time nor inclination to lock horns with a troll who consistently brings nothing to threads it tries to derail but strife. So, in a moment or two, I'll be giving you the almighty Ignore click, so that whatever new pointlessness you have for me I will never even know of it, and thank God. I honestly have zero interest in being drawn into an endless, demeaning, unrelated-to-thread loop of foolishness.

Been real [not], and in your future posts, try to add to the conversation, instead of trying to distract from it. Troll is old.

Oh, and happy Easter!

I am not a troll. I will just not tolerate ATS degenerating into a supermarket tabloid. Where is YOUR proof that this planet or star exists? Please do not bring something forward that has not already been debunked.

Though I agree with the following: I just wanted to point out the obvious about the following statement:

If everyone subscribed to that, this forum wouldn't exist. Also, scientific methodology is all about disproving hypothesii which are initially presented-though generally the hypothesis is required to have proof before presentation. (hate those weird conjugative words: hypothesises etc.). Again: I agree to where you are coming from, but there are better ways, such as the Socratic method etc,.

On the original thread it stated that every 1k years the 'dark star' comes in for a drive by. Has anyone seen items which could indicate historical impact (re: 12ad, 1012ad etc,. If it is real, and IF it does indeed come in swoops like that we would see effects around the world in records somewhere.

(BTW: Mechwarrior rocks, havnt seen that pic in awhile )
