Maybe we could get these "researchers" to go the sun to take samples.

The solar contribution to warming over the past 30 years is negligible Ha ha, so is the warming itself. Noob.
To: SirLinksalot
Well, I guess all of Fitzgerald's plans to indict the sun have been ruined.

And global Ice Ages, like the last one which ended about 10,000 years ago, seem linked to cyclical shifts in the earth's orbit around the sun rather than to changes in solar output. OK. So if not the sun's luminosity, then what about the orbit in the past 100 years?

Why are the polar ice caps on Mars shrinking? Is that our fault too?

This has to be some of the 'worst' rebuttal I've ever heard. I quit reading after they said the sun's intensity hadn't varied much over the last 1000 yrs.

raising chances
Our results imply
Most experts say
This basically rules out the sun
Many scientists say greenhouse gases might
seem linked to cyclical shifts
there could be other, more subtle solar effects ... they would be hard to detect.
Good, hard, repeatble science all around, I'd say ...

A dwindling group of scientists says that the dominant cause of warming is a natural variation in the climate system, or a gradual rise in the sun's energy output.No bias here! FOAD FOAD FOAD on the surface of the sun, idiots.
To: SirLinksalot
I suppose the Medieval Warming Period was caused by Vikings, Huns and Mongols burning village?
Junk science.

""This basically rules out the sun as the cause of global warming," Henk Spruit, a co-author of the report from the Max Planck Institute in Germany, told Reuters." NOT QUITE. All it says is that the warming can't be from photons emitted by the sun. Thus far, global warming "theory" has completely ignored the possibility of OTHER solar-induced mechanisms. The suns magnetic field has doubled in strength over its measurement history. This unquestionably affects the energy "coupled" between the sun and the earth. It could also affect the amount of cosmic rays reaching the earth--which is also proven to affect cloud formation (and thus global temperatures).
To: Red Badger
Naw, he'll just lump the sun and moon together in a civil lawsuit.

Just the Vikings. They were Westerners, and therefore solely to blame.

"The solar contribution to warming over the past 30 years is negligible," the researchers wrote in the journal Nature of evidence about the sun from satellite observations since 1978. In the past 30 years, temperature increases have been neglible. In the past 30 years, solar output variance has been negligible. But, based on 30 years of data, mankind must be responsible for the past 100 years of global temperature increases.
How these guys get from A to C without going through B is ridiculous.
And any nitwit who says that 0.07% variance in solar output is negligible deserves to be drowned in 0.07% of the world's oceans. We'll see what he thinks of 0.07% of a heck of a lot of anything is like after that.

To: wolfcreek
Yes, really lame. It has been a difficult task measuring the suns output. It has only been in recent years that we've had satellites that were designed just for that task. In addition there's evidence that Mars has been warming. Hmm, what could possibly be the cause of that...
