Ironically, Dr. Svoma is my faculty mentor and is one of my professors. He is a great guy and I am sure he will do an awesome job with the research from the Eclipse.

Friv and i were discussing in chat a couple weeks ago why CAGW is probably unlikely as it stands now, and we talked about how when the oceans near the poles warm, it melts the ice, but in the winter that open ocean releases that heat more effectively then when there is ice covering it, so the rise in heat content wouldn't become enormous

Csnavy, how much of the CO2 increase is actually anthropogenic (like directly from burning coal, natural gas, etc) versus partially from outgassing from the oceans?

csnavywx, i may not be totally correct here, but i think that what you are saying is that the sun isn't getting warmer and isn't bringing as much radiation to the earth. Basically the sun's change in radiation isn't that much different from what it has been in the past. Obviously satellites haven't shown a large increase in irradiance over the last century or so. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the whole solar theory is that the sunspots help shield the earth a little bit from galactic cosmic rays, which cause the cooling, through aiding more low level cloud growth. I think that we are talking about two different sides of the same coin.
