I was a complete skeptic regarding any tangible impacts of the solar cycle, from when I started here in 2000 through about 2008 or 2009, said Todd Crawford (@tcrawf_nh), who leads The Weather Companys seasonal prediction activities. Eventually, Crawford found himself intrigued by the fact that ultraviolet radiation varies a great deal more across the solar cycleby as much as 10%and that some of this UV radiation is absorbed by ozone, thus heating up the equatorial stratosphere.
He was a complete skeptic about reality, that sounds about right. Thanks Pontiac.

A hallmark of the AGW crowd. Dont let reality get in the way of a good internationalist communist plot to rule the world.
