The prime driver of warming is the energy received from the Sun. So, wrong.
I agree.
In fact, the year 1816, the year without a summer, is evidence that political correct AGW is science fiction imo.
Year Without a Summer
You state the obvious but actually ocean current patterns such as El Nino, La Nina, and the North Atlantic Oscillation have a strong association with natural variations in the weather. I suppose Energy Secretary Rick Perry was trying to point this out. The record rains this year on our West Coast was associated with the strong El Nino. Warmists try to claim that CO2 has a similar association with the weather which is absolutely nonsense.
Check out continental drift over the ages and the mean global temperature. There is a STRONG correlation between ocean currents and temperature. Look at the Younger Drayas also.
