Hmm...I smell a politically driven rat!

We’re entering a cold period...not a warming period. So now this ‘group’ warns us that the Sun is heating up. Bull shit!

Actually we’ve BEEN in a cold period for the last 10 years, due to decreased sunspot activity. At some point, the sun will get more active, which will increase the sunspot activity again, and warm the earth. And as the solar activity increases, the danger of Coronal Mass Ejections or ‘solar flares’ also increases.

The sun is not the sole determinate, human effects aside, on the earth's temperature. There are effects from the earth's orbit, the precession of the axes and some other orbital and axial tilt effects. We can both be entering a period of increased solar activity, and decreased overall temperature on the earth. Besides, activity and heat/light output are not necessarily the same anyway.
