"This basically rules out the sun as the cause of global warming," Henk Spruit, a co-author of the report from the Max Planck Institute in Germany, told Reuters.

OK, lets put out the sun and see what happens.

BTW in the last 60 years industry has decreased its particulate emissions probably close to 90%. Therefore there is a lot more sunlight actually hitting the ground now than there was 100 years ago when everyone was burning unfiltered coal and driving on dirt roads and freely spewing all manner of particulate matter into the air.

Does anyone stop to think that maybe all these modern and very effective smog devices and paved roads are contributing to or causing global warming? We certainly didn't have all this global warming when the smog was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Right, and we didn't have global warming before the women got the right to vote, either.
