funny how they really don't factually know why the earth is warming yet they can come up with some figure that represents the % that the sun contributes to global warming. Knowing how innacurate computer models are, the sun could be 86.7% responsible for global warming and the rest can be attricuted to the hot air that these politically motivated scientest spew out.

Correct, in the same article they say they don't know how much of the sun's energy is reflected vs. absorbed and therefore how sensitive we are to it - yet they throw out a number 10% to 30% knowing full well that they have no real idea.

Considering the sun is responsible for most of the heat at the surface and that we're at 300 degrees Kelvin a 1% change in the sun's output would likely translate to nearly a 3 degree Celsius change here on earth. That's pretty darn sensitive.

Sun spot activity is also very active currently which is very unusual for this point in the known solar cycle.
