Global Cooling

by Chris Gilbey at 05:07PM (EST) on June 22, 2008 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Apparently we are going through a period where there is virtually no sunspot activity. Here is the article.

The last time there was an extended period of zero sunspot activity coincided with the Younger Dryas, mini ice-age. We also had global cooling over the year Jan 2007 - Jan 2008 of .7 degrees Celsius, which is said to be the fastest atmospheric cooling in history.

Interesting that while on the one hand we are seeing the breaking up of the big ice shelfs in both the Arctic and Antarctic, we are also seeing this kind of cooling off. Scientists have been saying that the change in salinity from the ice melts can bring on an interruption to the thermohaline escalator and that it is already measurably slower than normal. Could it be that we will experience a sudden mini ice age?

The Antarctic ice sheet has increased by about 1 million sq. Kilometers in the last year.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
