Apparently it did go off the deep end, all this study is about is the authors noted a correlation between solar activity & forest fires. Nothing more, nothing less. They don't link it to or even mention global warming in any way, pro or con.
It was I not the authors who linked it to the global warming issue by noting in the 1st post that if this study is true, then what the alarmist have been telling us about the sun having no effect on climate can not be true. Somehow that lead to tin-foil hats and some leftist political motivation that's just not there. Again, if anything, this study is a plus to the skeptical (the correct)side.
I haven’t been disagreeing with you. lol
