Something doesn't add up with that article. Can you spot it?

- The sun's energy drives all climate and weather on Earth. 

- But the sun isn't the only thing that influences our climate

- Prior to the industrial revolution, the sun probably 
  accounted for about 10 to 30 percent of climate variability

Obviously, the other 70 - 90 percent was caused by witches back then, but now, Big Oil has put all the witches out of work. ;~))

Not well written (and I'm never surprised by poor writing in popular science articles).

That last item should probably be expressed as, "Prior to the Industrial Revolution, variability of solar output probably accounted for 10-30% of climate variability."

Don't you think? Another way to say it is that prior to the Industrial Revolution, external forcing from the Sun accounted for about 30% of climate variability, and internal forcing (volcanoes, El Nino, AMO, PDO, snow and ice cover, etc.) accounted for the other 70%.

Yeah, it must have been fact checked ( in other words, Liberal indoctrination ) by a liberal who conveniently leaves out the real facts, and wants to promote their Global Warming Agenda HOAX....

Yes folks,, I admit it, I am a rabid anti GLOBAL WARMING REBLE ..... !!!!!!!! ...... so burn me at the stake.


The real truth about the Global Warming Hoax ???


Listen up liberals who have been fooled by the MSM/Liberalism/Marxist plantation owners !!

The GLOBAL WARMING HOAX was started by communist Marxist who hate the USA and are trying to destroy the Military and Economic power of the USA in any way they can.

You want proof ?

Look at all the regulations that are in place and that are trying be to set in place for Green House gasses that are going to cost the American consumers TRILLIONS !! while China is being given a FREE PASS.

Look at the problem we have now with the cost of fuel for truckers, for our cars,for industry, and home heating oil ? and you don't think that higher prices for fuel won't effect our economy ?
Look at the airlines now, they are cutting back and some will go out of business.

It's the liberal communist Marxist who are to blame for the reason why we have not been able to build new nuke power plants in over 30 years, but, other Europe communist counties can ( whom you love Liberals )..

It's been 30 years since we were able to build new refineries in our own country, to produce our own oil and gasoline>
Let's not talk about the drilling for oil off our coast, because your communist buddies ( a inconvenient truth that is hard to swallow for liberals and the MSM ) ( CHINA ) are starting to drill on the same coast you say that we can not drill.

Sorry AVACADO, I went of on a rant..... the liberals need to wake up before it's to late.
