Your confusing the reporting with the science.
A valid point, but, wasn't this piece written by a "professional" journalist? As such, how could it possibly be misleading?
I'm doing no such thing. If someone brings you a garbled message what credence do you give to the rest of his message especially if the message claims to have dispositive proof of a cosmological fact based upon 25 years "evidence".
The idea that the suns radiance does not affect the earths temperature is "per se" ridiculous.
