My wife's step-brother is a Professor of Climatolgy at U Cal and didn't think the sun had much of an effect.

Then again he told me we got 12.5% of our oil from Iraq.

I couldn't tell you how much oil we got from Iraq, but even I know that the sun is in 2 consecutive sessions of high activity, what is it eleven year cycles.

So, according to this professor, our seasonal changes are caused largely by a mere tilting of the axis of our planet, and yet a solar flare that could consume a hundred of our earths lasting a year or so would have no climatic impact?

Mm-hmm.

You should have taken his hand, the one not holding the wine cooler, and placed it on the grill next to the burgers. Then, as he screamed, you should have explained to him that heat is hot.
