The Sun makes this planet warm. It’s disturbing that the concept is considered heretical.

Yes it does and yes it is disturbing isn't it ?

I still remember reading about global cooling as a youngster, going to the "scientific" exhibits at the nature museums talking about the coming ice age etc.

Ironically we were supposed to stop global cooling by doing the same things we are now supposed to do to stop global warming.

“Yes it does and yes it is disturbing isn’t it?”

The jury is still out on this issue. I did see an article recently (last two weeks) stating that the Sun had been ruled out as a forcing factor in global warming. I’m not sure that a) I believe that and b) that it addressed the exact mechanisms mentioned in this article.

Yes. There has been an absolute rush to judgement by many, sadly including some in the scientific community.

The other fallacy is that we must act now. We’ll have vastly more powerful technologies in twenty years.
