What say yea concerning the sunspot activity in the last 40 years. This, plus the afore mentioned article, imply that there are forces larger than mankind's total affect upon the earth.

I agree completely that the Sun has a huge affect on the Earth. :-)

I personally do not buy into the global warming scare. No more than I buy into banning CFCs due to the discovery of an ozone hole.

"discovery of an ozone hole."

Speaking of which......I remember an article concerning the majority of snow cover that melts and reconstitutes into snow again seasonally, in the arctic, that had an adverse chemical affect upon ozone. Couple this with and increased length of days in Alaska and that general region.....it seems that there is a connection.
