OK, Great point, Let's try the math one more time...

The average temperature on the surface of the earth in 2004 was 58.58 degrees Fahrenheit.
This converts to 287.76 degrees Kelvin
287.76 degrees Kelvin, times the .05% per decade increase in the Sun's output equals .14388 degrees Kelvin of increase per decade, or 1.4388 degrees Kelvin per century.
This would take our average temperature to 289.1988 degrees Kelvin.
This converts to 60.86984 degrees Fahrenheit, an increase of 2.28984 degrees Fahrenheit per century.

This also points to it being Bush's fault:

2.2894 degrees Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit 9/11
Coincidence? I don't think so

I concur.

Next, forget NASA's great plans to go to Mars.

We need a permenant manned space station on Mercury where we can keep an eye on the Sun.

From there we ought to be launching regular probes into the sun to determine its true composition and establish a baseline of reliable data for solar warming.

Then we need technology to control Sunspots and solar flares which damage earth's critical power grids and essential satellite services.

Can you imagine how much energy we could generate if we had a huge array of solar panels facing the sun on Mercury?

Oh nevermind, I have to get back to work.
