The truth about global warming - it's the Sun that's to blame
By Michael Leidig and Roya Nikkhah (Filed: 18/07/2004)

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.

A study by Swiss and German scientists suggests that increasing radiation from the sun is responsible for recent global climate changes.

Dr Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research, said: "The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.

So, does the sun suffer from magnetic field reversals like the Earth does and, if so, what would that mean?

and occult theories about gasses, SUVs, and mysterious
