“Even after the IPCC acknowledges extensive evidence for ... solar forcing beyond what they included in their models, they still make no attempt to account for this omission in their predictions. ... It's insane,” he told FoxNews.com.

Well, Duuuhhh. It has been know for 100 years that weather is more variable during sunspot minimums and maximums.

No rocket science to understand that.

Oh, I forgot. AGW is about agenda, not science.

Wait a minute! The sun warms the earth? Who would have guessed? I can see why they leave such an indirect influence out of their models.

We spend nearly $9billion a year studying GW in the US alone, business regulations to control global.warming costs our economy about $1.8trillion per year, or half the annual budget...and we’re just now figuring out that the sun warms the earth? Seriously?

[count-your-change]

When someone starts talking about a 1.1 degree change over a hundred years I stop listening. Does anyone really believe the measurements are that accurate?

The Sun can kill you.

My bumper sticker says, "Global Warming is Sun-Made" ... My other one says, with a flag in the background, "...for which it Stood" with the O's being the Obama symbol. I take my bumper stickers seriously...I make my own and they deal with FACTS.

I always wondered why it is warmer when the sun is out during the day and cooler at night? Duh! But at last the UN has researched this and now we know why. So my bumper sticker is dead on fact now verified by the United Nations. I'm so proud!

I can't believe my tax dollars were used in this research, they could have read my bumper sticker for "free."

Stop the presses! The IPCC discovers the Maunder Minimum!!! How will AlGore take the news?

Over the last 30 years of global warming, the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. Sun and climate are going in opposite directions. This has led a number of scientists independently concluding that the sun cannot be the cause of recent global warming.
One of the most common and persistent climate myths is that the sun is the cause. This argument is made by cherry picking the data - showing past periods when sun and climate move together but ignoring the last few decades when the two diverge.

the sun may play a larger role than previously thought.

This is shocking news. Governments of the world must contribute all effort and treasure immediately to find a way to move the sun before it’s too late.

This is going to be very expensive folks.

Next comes SOLAR TAX CREDITS to offset costs for government control of solar activity.

Many years ago when I first heard of AGW I looked into it. I discovered that the energy output of the Sun was concidered a constant by the models predicting warming. That was when I decided AGW science was junk science.
