I read this guy's entire article, and I felt that his hype was just as catastrophe-oriented as the global warming hype. The reason humans are still around is because we adapt to our changing environment. That being said, I have read similar articles on the effect of the sun (sunspots) on our climate (without the hyperbole), from several different sources, so I am tending toward agreeing that we are probably cooling.

What I am much more worried about is how quickly the ethanol boondoggle has affected our food supply and distribution. Will anyone have the guts to stand up and say "whoah!, we missed something here and we need to take a step back"?

Even the Boston Globe (editorial) and the Washington Post (op ed piece) have actually pointed that out about ethanol recently! (Maybe there's a catch there, but I don't know where!)
