Declining solar activity linked to recent warming
Nature ^ | 6 October 2010 | Quirin Schiermeier

The Sun may have caused as much warming as carbon dioxide over three years.

An analysis of satellite data challenges the intuitive idea that decreasing solar activity cools Earth, and vice versa. In fact, solar forcing of Earth's surface climate seems to work the opposite way around — at least during the current Sun cycle.

"The idea that scientists might not have quite understood the Sun's effect on climate should not provide ammunition for climate-change sceptics, says Martin Dameris, an atmospheric scientist at the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen."

And why not? It is clear that we are a long way off from understanding the universe we live in as this article suggests. Climate "science" is nothing more than climate politics.

You gotta love the way these idiots keep using terminology about scientific data and studies that is usually so far above the heads of the populace (because they refuse to teach anything in schools, lest the citizens do accidentally learn something) that they then explain in the way they want you to understand the conclusion.

The fact remains that global warming as they present it does not, and never has existed.

The funny thing is, that the very fact that they believe in the theory that the universe is billions of years old is their biggest obstacle in proving global warming is even caused by man if it does exist.

If they really want to try and prove that man causes global warming, then they need to begin convincing everyone that the universe is only tens of thousands of years old instead of billions. Then all those nasty little cycles they claim to have found through geological studies will not be in their way.

However, then they will also have to admit that their formulas to prove everything is junk science and that there really is a God. It would also cause them to have a brain fart because it will mean that man is not more powerful than God. Imagine, the theological teachers sitting up on the hill telling the masses that faith in God is what will bring wisdom and knowledge, not faith in the test tube and dirt.

They have obviously found themselves in a catch 22, and because of their intellectually inept arguments have boxed themselves into a corner.

Just another example of how some people can actually be educated beyond their intelligence. Kind of like the members of the Supreme Court who ruled that Carbon Dioxide is a poison.

I have news for them, so is air, water, and food. Life itself became a poison the day Adam rejected God for Eve.

More “useful” scientists insuring that the fatted cow called climate change is fed with his remarks. Since they do not know the exact effect of the Sun and extrasolar radiation their models are more fallacious than the pandering UN climate committee tried to pawn on us.

Of course notice how they continue to cling to the concept that CO2 plays a dominating role in any heat transfer within the various layers of the over all atmosphere.

What ever happened to the “Ozone Hole” scare? From what I understand it’s still there & just as big as ever.

I’m confused. Solar minimums are correlated with the low tempertatures of the Maunder and Sporer minimums, but now solar minimum is correlate with higher temperatures??
