	Sallie Baliunas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sallie Baliunas is at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences Division and formerly Deputy Director of the Mount Wilson Institute.
		Baliunas' extra-academic positions at several think tanks funded by energy industry organizations such as the American Petroleum Institute are often cited by her opponents as a source of bias on her part.
		Although Baliunas never publicly retracted her criticism of the ozone depletion hypothesis, an article by Baliunas and Soon written for the Heartland Institute in 2000 promoted the idea that ozone depletion, rather than CO emissions could explain atmospheric warming [13].

	Climatic models
		Contrary to popular belief, Baliunas said, the surface temperature of the earth during the twentieth century was not closely linked to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by humans.
		Baliunas explained that although such emissions certainly rose because of human activity in the latter part of the twentieth century and the average temperature was higher than in the nineteenth century, the temperature changes observed do not fit the pattern of greenhouse gas increases.
		Underpinning Baliunas' argument is whether or not the nineteenth and the twentieth century were indeed abnormal or normal.

		Baliunas: The Maunder Minimum is this episode in the 17th century where the 11-year cycle was suppressed--was very quiet--and the sun dropped to very low levels of magnetism.
		Baliunas: This is the length of the sunspot cycle.
		Baliunas: Right, so the mechanism is that you're still seeing changes in the brightness of the sun, and you're just using as a marker for that something we have a measurement of going back that far, which is the length of the magnetic cycle.

		In between observing and management, Baliunas can also be found testifying before congressional committees and giving papers at conferences on global climate change - a subject she was drawn to by her research on the sun's fluctuating magnetic field.
		Baliunas talked about this and other questions with REASON Editor Virginia Posttel and her husband, Steven Postret, an economist who teaches business strategy at U.C.-Irvine, under the Mount Wilson dome in late June.
		Baliunas: Eleven years, on average, if the stars are as old as the sun is. Age seems to make a big difference.

	Harvard-Smithsonian Physicist Calls Sun's Variability the Greatest Factor in Global Climate Change (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Baliunas pointed out that global temperatures over the last 19 years, according to satellite and balloon-based measurements, have been flat.
		Baliunas scoffed at statements that temperatures have been the warmest in 600 years, saying that most scientists feel the climate has simply been recovering from the "Little Ice Age," a 450-year period of much colder temperatures that destroyed settlements in Greenland and led to crop failures and famine over much of Europe.
		Baliunas' briefing for Congressional staff was hosted by the National Consumer Coalition's Climate Change Working Group -- the "Cooler Heads." Asked if she had experienced any retaliation because of her research, she replied, "I am a very strong person.

	Sallie Baliunas
		That is the title of a Wall Street Journal article (12/4/1997) based on one paragraph and one graph in a paper she published.
		Sallie Baliunas, an astronomer turned science policy guru, argued that there was no ozone problem for the same reasons she now argues there is no global warming problem.
		Sallie has studied the ozone-depletion theory and concludes that "there is no scientific reason for our current policy, and there is no economic reason to have a policy that is inflexible and irreversible." Her reasons are given in this paper.

	Science & Theology News - Harvard Astrophysicist Throws Cold Water on Global Warming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Baliunas and Soon, both staff astrophysicists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and affiliated with the Mount Wilson Observatory report that human activities have far less influence on global temperature than computer models suggest.
		Baliunas draws the obvious conclusion: the existing models, which are flawed by a three to ten-fold exaggeration when they are applied to the past century, also project far too much global warming for the future.
		While Baliunas admits that our understanding of the possible effects of the changing sun on climate is at an early stage, she maintains that the best scientific evidence indicates that global warming will be slow and relatively insignificant compared to the natural changes of the climate.

		Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is one of the world's experts on the sources of climate change.
		Baliunas: When the sun's magnetism is strong, the sun's energy output is higher and the Earth is warmer.
		Baliunas: The science altogether is unsettled, but we know for sure that the models that make the predictions into the future are exaggerating the warmth.

	Solar Influence on Earth's Weather: A 250-Million-Year View
		Those who attended "Solar Influence," a lecture by Dr. Sallie Baliunas, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, at the Hayden Planetarium on November 26 were treated to a quarter-billion-year history of changes in Earth's climate, and a discussion of the Sun's role in these changes.
		Baliunas also chronicled the development of human thought as it relates to the Sun, and ended with a weather forecast for the next few million years: cold periods 100,000 years long, in which much of North America will be inundated by mile-thick glaciers, interspersed with 10,000-year periods of relative warmth.
		Baliunas noted that casting doubt on the notion of runaway global warming is the fact that we put most greenhouse gases in the air during the past few decades, so warming in the early 20th century couldn't be man-made; it may have been due to solar brightening.

	Phasing Out Freon or Phasing Out Facts
		Regardless, Sallie is better qualified than most of us to have recently concluded that “there is no observed change in global ozone concentrations that is outside the bounds of natural variability.
		Baliunas shows data from 1979 to 1990 on “a scale that is rarely seen - a scale that starts at zero ozone abundance.” On that scale the 3% per decade decrease in ozone concentration is unnoticeable.
		Baliunas finds it relevant to note that if you move from New York to Washington, D.C., the permanent decrease in ozone is 6%, because this trace gas layer thins toward the equator.

	John Quiggin: Junk science on ozone
		In particular, it's noteworthy that Baliunas uses almost exactly the same kinds of arguments on the two issues and, if anything, her case on CFC and ozone seems stronger.
		A highlight is Baliunas' confident assertion that "the ozone hole cannot occur in the Arctic" - a claim that stood up for about three years.
		Only a few weeks after Baliunas testified before Congress that the science on all this was unsettled, the Chemistry Nobel was awarded to Paul Crutzen, Sherwood Rowland, and Mario Molina for their work on stratospheric ozone.

		Sallie Baliunas, a Harvard-Smithsonian astronomer and adjunct professor at TSU, said the search looks not for the shadow of the planet per se, but the slight dimming it would cause to the stars light as it crosses its disk.
		Since the planets in question are thought to be Jupiter-sized, a transit would lead to an estimated 1 percent change in the candidate stars brightness.
		Baliunas said she expects to see a transit within the next two years.

		Sallie Baliunas, an astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and one of the nation's leading experts on global climate change, believes that we may be nearing the end of a solar warming cycle.
		Since the last minimum ended in 1715, Baliunas says there is a strong possibility that the Earth will start cooling off in the early part of the 21st Century.
		Of the 1.5° F in warming the planet experienced over the last 150 years, two-thirds of that increase, or one degree, occurred between 1850 and 1940.

		These changes in surface magnetism may reflect changes in total solar irradiance over periods of time-ranging from decades to centuries in length-for which measurements are lacking.
		There is evidence of a solar change of just this magnitude in a recent report of an observed difference of total solar irradiance between two sunspot-cycle minima-1986 and 1996-that would amount to about 0.4 percent change in irradiance over a century (Willson 1997:1963).
