Scientists blame sun for global warming (February 13, 1998)

WoW!!!! What a monumental discovery!!! A ball of nuclear fire astronomically larger in size than Jupiter which provides all of our light and 99.99% of our heat is responsible for controlling our climate?!?!? Will wonders never cease??

I'm sure "evil conservative" scientists will immediately come out and say the sun also strikes us with huge amounts of dangerous radiation and solar storms... Just like those "evil sun hating conservatives" to say that....
(/sarcasm, in case it wasn't apparent)

Honestly, how many more reports from objective sources do the environuts need to prove their idiotic, baseless, and junk-science hypotheses wrong? All the sun has to do is "burp" and a ball of super-heated, electrically charged plasma affects everything from storms, to temperature, to the geomagnetic field (that means no TV, radio for a while) to space vehicles. And guess what leftists, President Bush had nothing to do with it.

It's amazing all these people can't seem to remember that the sun and earth change constantly without any input from man. After all, only a few billion years ago, the Earth was a toxic waste dump of sulfur volcanoes and lava pools. 65 million years ago, it was a frigid wasteland after a large asteroid strike. And even today, it continues to change without man's ability to affect it.

We have warming every year.

It is called summer.

Damn you even beat me to that!

In other news chlorophyll is responsible for the grass being green

There might be something to this -- I've noticed that it often feels warmer out, when the sun's shining.

[ClearCase_guy]

Exactly.

Anything a liberal says is usually the opposite of the truth.

There's no such thing as global warming. From the eleventh century through the thirteenth, Vikings were thriving on the west coast of Greenland, raising row crops and livestock.

About 200 years later, Europe was in the throes of a mini-ice-age where there was no summer one year and major rivers froze.

I never would have suspected that Bush's influence is that great.

[george76]

It is amazing.

In the shade, it is cooler.

And in the sun, it is...

We all can be a scientist.

Since "could soon follow" in geological terms may mean means thousands of years, not to worry.

[demlosers]

Poop stinks. Sky is blue. Earth is round Democrats love losers.

[Gaetano]

when you take into account how much cooler it is INDOORS (with air conditioning), the AVERAGE of indoor and outdoor temperatures has actually gown DOWN :<)

[Emmet Fitzhume]

That's what our western European "allies" would have us believe over at the extremely ridiculous UN.

If the sun's energy is more intense toward the polar ice caps, then it will have the same effect that the oven has on ice cream.

It must be easier for the idiotic left to blame the President for what the sun is doing.

[facedown]

Heretics!

[I've noticed that it often feels warmer out, when the sun's shining.]

You must be a scientist.

[Kenservatized]

Yeah...I can't wait until we get a D-Rat president. It'll nip this global warming in the bud.

[george76]

But Liberals say that the earth is flat.
