Another study has cast doubt on the global warming theory.
Recognizing that the Earth’s climate has been changing since the pre-industrial era, physicist A. Kilcik and his colleagues set out to determine if there is a link between variations in solar activity and changes in the earth’s temperatures, John McCaslin reports in the Washington Times’ Inside the Beltway column.
They compared surface air temperature variations in the U.S. and Japan from 1900 to 1995.
"Our results indicate marked influence of solar-activity variations on the earth’s climate,” the researchers reported in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.
Writes McCaslin: "Which might help explain other historic climate changes, from the ‘Medieval Warm Period’ from the 12th century through the 14th century, to the ‘Little Ice Age’ from the latter half of the 17th century into the early 18th century.
"President Bush may have been correct not to rush his signature onto the Kyoto Protocol treaty on climate change.”
Translation:
The sun periodically warms and cools, but we don't have a damned thing to do with it!
Look up "Maunder Minimum" sometime.
Thanks, I had forgotten the term.
It looks like this was also in the Washington Times, but that doesn't always get much credit either, at least from the left.
Or facts don't matter.
>"It looks like this was also in the Washington Times, but that doesn't always get much credit either, at least from the left."
You can always look up the original research paper from the science journal they are quoting from. It looks better if you quote from "Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics".
who's going to give cogitator the bad news
Can anyone tell me when the US Senate ratified the Kyoto Protocols?

They didn't.
NEVER!
Man, talk about a vaguely written article. I'm inclined to agree, but IMO the piece doesn't support its premise very well.
If they only believe the New York Times, you got to get new friends and acquaintances.
The Washington Post is not good enough for them either?
... and changes in the earth’s temperatures, John McCaslin reports in the Washington Times’ Inside the Beltway column.
There seems to be a type of person whose ultimate goal of existence is to know that the world is ending before anyone else does. This type is forever looking for his El Dorado.
Quite similar, actually, to the person who will call you at 3 a.m. to give you the worst imaginable news... anyone else know the type?

RRRRRRRINNNNGGGG!
"Hey ole Pub, guess what? I got fired again, my son got caught with a pound of coke and my lab test results came back ... " LOL ...
I'm waiting for advocates of Global Lukewarming (climate change caused only by mankind) to backtest their models and theories on what caused Greeland to become so warm as to allow growing of crops and raising of cattle at the time when Erik the Red settled it.
I'll not hold my (CO2-laden) breath for an answer.

Are you listening, Hillary, McCain, cogitator?
