Sure, it could never be caused by the SUN now, could it?
Friis-Christensen and Lassen (Science, 1991)
study of Global temperatures versus solar cycle
length. Note as the solar cycle length diminishes
(towards the top of the diagram - scale at left),
the global temperatures rise and as they increase
in length, global cooling occurred. This current
cycle is a full year longer than the last one
perhaps signaling a cooling.
See my post #32. :-)
That's a good definition of liberalism: believing that the nuclear reaction (i.e., the sun) that they see every day has less of an impact than their neighbor's Suburban.
And usually it's really because the neighbor can afford the Suburban and the liberal can't.
