The research adds weight to the views of David Bellamy, the conservationist. "Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth," he said. "I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy-makers are not.

Today...the sun is hot
tomorrow ...water is wet.

The percentage of greenhouse gas generated by man (please correct if you see an error):
Here are the latest numbers on carbon dioxide’s impact on global warming. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 20%, oxygen, 0.93% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide. The two compounds thought to contribute most to global warming are water vapor (about 0.3% of atmospheric mass) and carbon dioxide (about 0.06%). By volume, water vapor comprises 90% of all greenhouse gases.

The contribution of water and clouds in global warming is hotly debated, but ranges from 80% to 90% for water versus 3.6% to 20% contribution for carbon dioxide. Now multiply those carbon-dioxide-contribution figures with the percentage of carbon dioxide generated by human beings (3.2%). The result: human-produced carbon dioxide contributes only 0.117% to 0.6% to the global warming effect.

Gee, how woulda thunk that a giant ball of flaming gases, 100 times larger that the earth and over 25 million degrees fahrenheit at its core, could affect the earth's temperature more than a bunch of tiny critters struggling to stay alive.

"Think this will have an impact on the Academy Awards committee?"

Very doubtful. Did'nt you listen to the man? All the science is in and there is no debate.

Jawohl Herr Gore!

Global warming is the propaganda of the “Greens”, formerly the “Reds”.

What a relief!

All along I thought it was Bushs fault!

All that "hot air" ... ooops then it would be the Demoncrats fault ... oh, who knows. It's beyond our control.

Dr. Edward Teller expressed that the Earth needed a sunscreen.

Reprinted from the Wall Street Journal, October 17, 1997, from an article titled "The Planet Needs a Sunscreen."

Available from the Hoover Press is the Essay in Public Policy Environmental Fundamentalism, by Thomas Gale Moore. To order, call 800-935-2882.

Edward Teller, a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution since 1975, where he specialized in international and national policies concerning defense and energy, died Tuesday, September 9, 2003. He was 95.

This isn't rocket science.

Everything I ever wanted to know about the sun's affect on GlobalWarming™ I could figure out in the space of either 1 day, or 6 months.

I compare the temperature at 10 noon and midnight, or the temperature between 1 July and 1 January.

The trend-line above shows that since about the early 1800's solar activity has been increasing

This was obvious. And it's the big one that the media and the left have suppressed for years.

Not only that ... the sun is a serial warmer, rising every day.

Dr Solanki said that the brighter Sun and higher levels of "greenhouse gases", such as carbon dioxide, both contributed to the change in the Earth's temperature but it was impossible to say which had the greater impact.

What exactly are Dr Solanski's credentials that allow him to speak to the effect that greenhouse gasses have had on the environment? Maybe he should stick to the subject in which he got his degree.

So often we see "scientific consensus" on this issue but the scientists are biologists, botanists etc. I am glad he is pointing the blame at the sun (duh!) but why does he have to add in the politically correct comments about greenhouse gasses?
