"the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth"
Boop, don't believe in the first place a "majority" of any "scientists" believe this.
The global warmers always talk with the power of fake authority that some "majority" supports their majority.
Write the author, ask him what the basis of this "mojority" statement is.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see an objective breakdown of what qualified scientists think about "Man caused Global Warming?"
For a start here is a petition signed by over 17,000 scientists disagreeing with "Man caused Global Warming."
