Gobal warming? Blame it on brighter Sun

London, July 18: Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research.

I guess the solar constant ain't so constant after all...

[tallhappy]

Wow! Our pollution has even effected how the sun burns!!!

[Brilliant]

Now Bush has really done it! He's increasing the heat from the Sun! How dare he?! How dare he?! How dare he?!

[biblewonk]

As usual no numbers indicating how much brighter nor and hint as to how they measured it 150 years ago.

[woofie]

Quick, sign the Kyoto Accord

Maybe if we pass a law against the sun burning brightly it will cool down.

I knew it all along - the sun varies but my watch doesn't.

“The Sun is in a changed state. It is brighter than it was a few hundred years ago and this brightening started relatively recently — in the last 100 to 150 years.”

I take it that the brightness of the rats is inversely proportional to the brightness of the sun? There is a trend here...

We'll get some liberal saying this within 3 weeks...hehe...

Actually, it has been proven that the sun's intensity slowly increases over time, but still varies on a rather irregular schedule, hence the "little Ice Age" in the 1600's, and other climatic anamolies...

"Maybe if we pass a law against the sun burning brightly it will cool down."

That's silly, it already does cool down at night.

“I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world’s politicians and policy-makers are not.

Wonder if this guy can speak at the GOP convention...

[tubebender]

Bttt...

"Now Bush has really done it! He's increasing the heat from the Sun! How dare he?! How dare he?! How dare he!"

Women and children most affected!

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right

I forgot about that. Still, though, I'm sure the host flying around the sun would like us to do something about it during daytime.

We need some sort of resolution in order to make the sun cooler during the day. If our first resolution doesn't work, we'll pass a second one to give the first one more weight and show that we're serious. The sun better watch out when we pass a third one -- we mean business!
