The sun IS doing its part. It does it in 11 year cycles. The period of time that the Global Warming Alarmists (GWA's) used to "prove" their theory happened to coincide with the last Solar Maximum period which was historically speaking, a very active one which caused the average daily temperature on the planet to rise - as it should've.

That Solar Maximum period "expired" in 1999-2000 at which point we entered a period of Solar Minimum. During the last Solar Minimum, the average daily temperature of the planet DROPPED as it should've and history of tracking the Solar Cycles has shown.

We entered a new Solar Maximum cycle in 2010-2011 which was supposed to start peaking in late 2012 through 2013 and last for 3-5 years before the Solar Maximum would start winding down in its final 3 years or so.

Guess what? This Solar Maximum period has been for the most part a complete BUST. The Sun remains "quiet" (with occasional CME's, X-Class solar flares and brief periods of activity that provide some warming.)

The fact that the Sun isn't active anywhere near the degree that Solar Maximum's have been in the past is actually evidence against Global Warming and proves that the Sun's activity has a direct impact on the temperature of the planet.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but your post made me think: So, based on what we already know about the Solar Maximum, scientists KNEW that we would heat up because of the sun, came up with these great “global warming predictions” all based on evil human activity, fully expecting the Solar Maximum to do its work, but then this danged low sunspot activity messed up all their plans.

Global Warming Theories are designed to obtain continued funding year over year. Every "conclusion" is designed to require more research to "prove." In short, those who claim Global Warming as "science" are really no better than those scientists who claim that studying the sex life of a gnat is somehow relevant to the environment overall. Junk Science is Junk Science.

BTW: Those of us who are into Amateur Radio follow the solar cycles closely. Solar Maximum's are great for enabling long distance communications with very little power. By all standards in the Amateur Radio community - this Solar Maximum is a complete BUST. We're supposed to be at the height of a Solar Maximum right now based on historical trends. We're not -- and that's directly attributable to lack of Solar Activity. Yet MORE proof of the Solar Cycle and the Sun's impact on the planet!
