CNSNews.com Astronomical Influences Affect Climate More Than CO2, Say Experts Wednesday, September 17, 2008 By Kevin Mooney, Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – Warming and cooling cycles are more directly tied in with astronomical influences than they are with human-caused carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, some scientists now say.

Recent observations point to a strong link between “solar variability” – or fluctuations in the sun’s radiation – and climate change on Earth, while other research sees the sun as just one of many heavenly bodies affecting global warming in the later half of the 20th century.

Contrary to what has been stated in a “Summary for Policymakers” attached to the United Nation’s International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report -- and in subsequent press coverage of the report -- there is scant evidence in favor of human-caused global warming, according to geologists, astrophysicists, and climatologists who have released updated studies.

If I’m reading this correctly, the sun is causing the earth’s heating and cooling.

Who would have thunk that!

Who would have guessed, the sun is behind all this global warming. I am shocked.

In the 70's I remember the forecasts of the next coming ice age. Now the absence of sunspots seem to forecast a coming cooling.

They also declared in the 70's that we would be out of petroleum withing the next 15 years. I bought 4 cyl. Datsun pickup. Now, 30 years later, it seems that they're finding unlimited supplies.

Also climate (and weather) changes. Who knew? I guess this means that it can be hotter one day (or year) then another? Will wonders never cease!

What do mere scientists know about earth science or astronomical influences?

Politicians and greedheads have declared that man is mightier than the elementary forces of the universe and that our misdeeds can only be corrected by giving them large amounts of our money.

Yep, two big things are occuring at once. The least amount of sunspots in 100 years with a delay in the start of cycle 24 (Which could be another Maunder minimum, Little Ice Age) AND the Pacific Decadal Osccilation which is shifting to a cool phase!
