Gee, sunspots at a 1,000 year high.
But it's SUVs that cause global warming. Just ignore the warming on other planets - it's all a plot by Exxon-paid scientists.

There was a History Channel show on last night about the Mayan Civilization and there was a commentator discussing the downfall of the culture and his first theory was sunspot activity affecting the climate negatively by causing Global Warming. I kid you not, it came out of his mouth.

SUVs reaching 1,000-year high. Correlation with global warming.

Over the past 20 years, however, the number of sunspots has remained roughly constant, yet the average temperature of the Earth has continued to increase. This is put down to a human-produced greenhouse effect caused by the combustion of fossil fuels.How about lag time between the sunspots and impacts on global temperature. After all, it takes a while to bring the temperature of a pot of water up after applying heat and the oceans are the biggest heat source/heat sink on the planet.

But it's SUVs that cause global warming.What do you think causes sun spots? ;-)

Actually, if you were a ham radio operator you would know that we are at the bottom of the latest 11 year cycle of sunspots and should be starting on the up swing soon. However, in the last two cycles sunspots were very high and Radio communication was great, now it sucks because the sunspots are low in number. Just FYI. BTW, I believe any warming and cooling of this planet, and others, is caused by the sun.

***The data suggests that changing solar activity is influencing in some way the global climate causing the world to get warmer. ***
These guys are brilliant! I never would have come up with the conclusion that the SUN is causing the world to get warmer. I thought it was all man’s fault.
