Ever since I learned from Fred Singer that cosmic rays increase cloud cover and that’s why sunspots make things hotter, I thought, I am an astrophysicist? Right? That’s why this is important for aspiring astrophysicists.
Svensmark was an old time scientist, and I like–no I love, old things. I have old cars, old dogs, old horses, old clothes, old books, old furniture, and an old piano, made in Kansas in the 30s, when there were hundreds of piano makers who made fine pianos of great wood who went broke because there was no money.
I tell the residents that the chances are I am wearing some piece of clothing, socks, shoes, pants, shirt, that are older than they are.
I think that’s true because I don’t change sizes and I don’t wear things out. I have a pair of boots that were advertized by Joe Willie Namath when he was a young celeb, the Dingo Boot. I own a car that is 53 years old and another that is 42 years old. I have a wife who is ___ old and I have skin that is almost 70 years old and in need of serious updating. I even have really old underwear.
So I am pleased to tell you Svensmark was right when he said cosmic rays impact climate and weather. Imagine a picture of him in your mind with some really different facial hair pattern, a stiff detachable collar, not smiling but looking serious.
