    Josimar, if your very cosmic galactic cosmic ray theory of climate change has any foundations in reality, then Earth should be getting colder.

    In fact it isn’t, it’s warming. So your theory sounds more like an hypothesis.

    Here’s what NASA said on its Internet site in a statement issued Jan. 18.

    FYI, Earth can’t heat and cool at the same time. One rules out the other.


    “Earth’s global surface temperatures in 2017 ranked as the second warmest since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA.”

    “Continuing the planet's long-term warming trend, globally averaged temperatures in 2017 were 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.90 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 1951 to 1980 mean, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. That is second only to global temperatures in 2016.

    “In a separate, independent analysis, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) concluded that 2017 was the third-warmest year in their record. The minor difference in rankings is due to the different methods used by the two agencies to analyze global temperatures, although over the long-term the agencies’ records remain in strong agreement. Both analyses show that the five warmest years on record all have taken place since 2010.

    “Because weather station locations and measurement practices change over time, there are uncertainties in the interpretation of specific year-to-year global mean temperature differences. Taking this into account, NASA estimates that 2017’s global mean change is accurate to within 0.1 degree Fahrenheit, with a 95 percent certainty level.

    ““Despite colder than average temperatures in any one part of the world, temperatures over the planet as a whole continue the rapid warming trend we’ve seen over the last 40 years,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt.”

    Josimar, this to me looks like Earth is warming, but if you’re a graduate from Up Is Down University, anything is visible.

    ICE AGE? Doesn’t look like it.
