I reviewed an article and our closet liberal is indeed right. In fact sunspots were observed by the Chinese around 29 BC.

The clincher however is that solar variation, the measure of intensity of these things was not accomplished until the 1980's. No matter who kept records the only record was, hey a sunspot. There was no data or method to obtain the intensity of them then.

Thanks for the link!

But there is a good correlation between sunspots and earth's temperature.

Please state your alleged reasons for calling me a "closet liberal". Watching you fall all over yourself trying to explain your unfounded slur should be really amusing, not to mention pathetic.

Then perhaps you could apologize for falsely slandering me. Or have you no honor along with your other failings?

Why do you label someone interested in keeping the science accurate in a discussion of a scientific subject a "closet liberal"?

That's an unfair characterization. We can be knowledgeable about science and still be conservative. IN fact, we should strive to be knowledgeable about science and still be conservative.
