Scientists blame sun for global warming (February 13, 1998)
BBC News ^ | Climatologists and astronomers

Climate changes such as global warming may be due to changes in the sun rather than to the release of greenhouse gases on Earth.

Climatologists and astronomers speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Philadelphia say the present warming may be unusual - but a mini ice age could soon follow.

The sun provides all the energy that drives our climate, but it is not the constant star it might seem.

Careful studies over the last 20 years show that its overall brightness and energy output increases slightly as sunspot activity rises to the peak of its 11-year cycle.

You don't understand. Bush's oil cronies engineered the sun to increase its output so that we'd have to consume more energy for air conditioning. It's all Bush's fault!

[Yes, the sun is responsible for warming the earth...]

Don't let facts get in the way of the political propaganda machine.

Don't ask me why, but I always envisioned the Sun driving a big SUV. Amazing... it could be true after all!

Horse cookies.

Everyone knows that the climate depends solely on human activity.

The climate model I have running on my computer doesn't take any solar heat into consideration, and this model shows the Earth getting hotter and hotter, year after year ... Explain that!!

The sun also targets the poor people, most being people of color, who can't afford air conditioning and it makes it nearly impossible for them to grow crops in the sand. Obviously, the sun is republican.
