Climate changes such as global warming may be due to changes in the sun rather than to the release of greenhouse gases on Earth.
Climatologists and astronomers speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Philadelphia say the present warming may be unusual - but a mini ice age could soon follow.
The sun provides all the energy that drives our climate, but it is not the constant star it might seem.
Careful studies over the last 20 years show that its overall brightness and energy output increases slightly as sunspot activity rises to the peak of its 11-year cycle.

Yes, the sun is responsible for warming the earth...the ThugoRats should demand its resignation and start impeachment proceedings....
"The sun is currently at its most active for 300 years..."
The sun is hotter -- I blame George Bush.
You don't understand. Bush's oil cronies engineered the sun to increase its output so that we'd have to consume more energy for air conditioning. It's all Bush's fault!

Bush knew
[Yes, the sun is responsible for warming the earth...]
Don't let facts get in the way of the political propaganda machine.
Wrong! Clinton blames the NRA.
Don't ask me why, but I always envisioned the Sun driving a big SUV. Amazing... it could be true after all!
Horse cookies.
Everyone knows that the climate depends solely on human activity.
"Climate changes such as global warming may be due to changes in the sun rather than to the release of greenhouse gases on Earth."
Gee, ya think?
Naw...... Couldn't be. Then AL Gore, et al. would be (((GASP))) WRONG!
The climate model I have running on my computer doesn't take any solar heat into consideration, and this model shows the Earth getting hotter and hotter, year after year ... Explain that!!
The article is dated 1998.
So Global warming wasn't as big an issue during clintoon's regime, eh?
The sun has been very hospitable to us for a nice long time, but if it hiccups one day, well ....
"Hey, our only goal is servers and Java. If that wrecks the planet, then all I can say is I work for shareholders, not lame scientists! |
Hah, best Bush's fault I've heard a in a while :)
The sun also targets the poor people, most being people of color, who can't afford air conditioning and it makes it nearly impossible for them to grow crops in the sand. Obviously, the sun is republican.
ALOGORE invented the Sun! ! !
