My bro-in-law and I are in a constant discussion about 'global warming'. He, like myself, want to see the data, before we make any judgements. BUT, and this is a big but, we both are dedicated to science telling the truth. If the sun, which is the major influence on temerature variations on all the planets(Mars is warming also), is not the primary driver of planetary warmth, we both are going to quit and work at Village Inn, because the world and a lot of ignorant scientists are drinking the kool-aid.
Right now, sunspot activity is non-existient as happens on a cycle with the sun. The effects of the outbursts of solar wind, magnetic particles, and radiation are at their lowest level in decades, not just years, but DECADES. That lack of force alone changes atmospheric conditions relative to temperatures.
Anyone check the 'hole' in the ozone layer? It's almost gone. Low sunspot activity, there is a connection.
Not good, AFAIC. It might give the wingnuts reason to claim partial victory with their “programs” (AKA: Montreal Protocol, Title V, etc.)
Science knows no record of a time when there was NO hole over the Antarctic.
