In today’s Parade Magazine (it comes with the Sunday Paper), that Gal from MENZA Marilyn vos Savant is asked about the effect of the Sun Cycle on Globull Warming.

Here is the question and answer...

I have a specific question about one aspect of climate change. We know the sun is our source of energy, and that variations in solar activity have been responsible for past climate changes. But only relatively recently have we been able to measure its energy output. So how can we know that another variation is not responsible for much of the current global warming?

—Lauren Mickelson-Jones, Dallas, Texas

If increased solar activity were causing the warming, we would expect all layers of Earth’s atmosphere to be warmer. Instead, scientists have observed cooling in the upper atmosphere and warming in the lower atmosphere and at the surface of the planet.

That’s a new one...

This is what you would expect when you have a Journalism degree. Although, I doubt that Parade Magazine require Journalism degree, more than likely Dramatic Arts or Literature.
