The link doesn't work, but there was recent sunspot activity this week which ended the abnormally long period without sunspots, and we are currently at solar minimum so low susspot activity is to be expected. If we were to have another Maunder minimum type event though it would likely cause a cooling of about 1 degree celsius since that's what happened last time. The current average warming to the Earth right now is about .72 celsius, so if it were to happen it'd likely just reverse the warming that's already happened. Maybe we'd have a 'little normal age'.

The new Ice Age Cometh!

i hope this link works but there has been virtually no sunspot activity since the beginning of this year and the suns magnetic field is down 60%.. if this link does not work, you might like to try googling: sunspot activity 2008 iceage.. the last time this happened we moved into a little ice age which lasted from 1100 to 1800.. global warming lies may well have met their match with reality.. so how will they tax us for the 'ice age?
do we get our tax back that we paid because of 'global warming'.. is this why they have made fuel so expensive....because they know what is coming and they want to make a killing?.

Heheh, don't worry someone will collect on the debt. JP Morgan Chase bought chunks of WaMu, so I imagine they'd just start sending payments to Chase instead of WaMu.
This reminds me of something from Demolition Man when they went to a fancy Taco Bell, and Sandra Bullock explains "In the future all restaraunts are Taco Bell"
"In the future all banks are Chase" This is the second or third thing they've gobbled up during this correction.

How do civilizations "just go missing"?
by cameo-d inthe little stars *** are to show my comments on it along the way.. the vedas, the oldest texts of south asia, dating from some 3,500 years ago, made no mention of it, nor did the bible.
no pyramids or burial mounds marked the area as the site of an ancient power.
yet, 4,600 years ago, at the same time as the early civilizations of mesopotamia and egypt, great cities arose along the flood plains of he ancient indus and saraswati rivers in what is now pakistan and northwest india.

I wonder how big insects could get? Back when the Earth had about a 30% oxygen atmosphere dragonflies were the size of eagles.

Where would you relocate in Texas and why?
by White Dove ini love the heat, humidity, palm trees, and the ocean.
at the same time, i don't want to get flooded out by a hurricane.. do you think there are places far enough above sea level that don't get flooded in houston?.
would you recommend dallas as a good place to relocate?.

Washington Mutual reverting to previous bad behavior after bail out by fed!
by restrangled ini posted this on burn the ships' thread but there was a lot more going on so i think it was missed.. washington mutual was on the verge of of failing.
the fed overnight comes in and promises to buy out all bad mortgage debt so that banks could free up credit and make their bottom line look better for the stock market.
the stock market buys in and ups it self by 400 points.

If we actually made stuff, and were running a trade surplus we wouldn't have to depend on consumerism since other people buying our stuff would be supporting our economy, but instead we support China's rampant saving with our rampant spending.
I have a few credit cards, and they'd always raise the credit limit on them, and I'd just blow it off. They can raise my credit limit all they want, it's still not gonna make me use their card more. -

We're going to have to deal with all this debt at some point. We should take our medicine now while it's a horse pill and not a Dick Cheney sized suppository.
If it didn't affect everyone I'd say let the market self-destruct. Some say that some bank stocks were being shorted that weren't as exposed to this mess as others, and it was just some kind of mob greed that was pushing some stocks into the dirt. Perhaps a temporary ban was needed as a time-out to let more rational heads prevail.

Wrecking of United States of America
by BurnTheShips ini am almost shaking as i write this for what is happening to the capital markets, this country, and the free world.
the impact of the past two weeks' action in the financial markets, if not reversed by cooler heads, will have irreparably changed the world in a way that only terrorist attacks and acts of war have in the past.. .
nationalizing fannie mae and freddie mac, providing an emergency quasi-legal bridge loan to aig, temporarily banning short-selling on all stocks in the us, and instituting an rtc-type entity to handle the toxic waste of the financial system is economic violence on a grand scale.. .

Don't worry, the (future) tax payers are bailing out the poor downtrodden wall street moguls, and bankers. We'll just push the problem back a few more years.

Billions of Dollars pumped in overnight? Where is it coming from?
by restrangled inwhat i gathered was the fed's release banks from having to hold on to the current minimum cash requirements, which allows them to loan out more cash reserves.. from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20218020/.
one of the broadest tools the fed can apply to the supply of money in the system is raising or lowering the amount of reserves that banks are required to hold in their accounts.
raising reserves means banks have to hold onto more money, which tends to tighten credit.

you can't make gold.
I know the secret to making gold.
First you need lots of hydrogen, then you let gravity take over and form a star much larger than the sun. Cooking time will depend on the size of the star, the larger the star the less time needed, figure a few tens of millions of years. Once the star goes nova you can harvest the gold from the debris. It's simple!
