The feud holds little interest for Schaefer, who has moved on. The National Science Foundation has given him a grant to review 156 years of sunspot records.

The goal? To find out if the sun has a role in global warming.

It will take all of his genius and a ton of money to get the answer to that question! < /sarcasm >

Sounds like a study of the Maunder Minimum; the fewer sunspots, the lower the solar output, and based on the spotty (sorry) sunspot reports going back a way, it appears that the Sun had few sunspots during the Little Ice Age. I.E., the Earth's climate derives from the Sun, which is an amazing coincidence, since the Sun is nearly the Earth's sole source of heat.

Nothing like taking a good analytical and inquisitive mind and then making them work on bunko science and leftist ideological orthodoxy.

After all the research they will determin that, yes the sun contributes to global warming -- but only during daytime.
