In the end the sun will win. If the current solar trends continue, it will soon be so cold, the glaciers growing so fast, the sea ice stacked so high, the driveways not shoveled, that Al Gore will be the last person left on the planet that doesn’t know Al Gore is a kook.
Hansen looked at the sun. He said it doesn't affect temperature, though it can provide enough energy to replace all fossil fuels.
Hansen and Gavin then factored the sun spot information through the GISS temperature adjustment models and found that there were fewer sunspots 100 years ago and many more now. In fact, 2008 was a record according to the adjusted data. Headlines will soon reflect that in the WaPo, LaPo, and tawdry grey lady.
