WASHINGTON -- The brightening and dimming of the sun may account for a 1,500-year cycle of cooling and warming on parts of the Earth, a study of ice in the North Atlantic suggests.

Researchers found that a very slight difference in the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth can have a powerful chilling effect on the climate: Ice builds up in lands bordering the North Atlantic, and the average temperature drops in Europe and North America.

I'm not saying we shouldn't reduce pollution emissions, but Chicken Littles should not be deciding policy.

To end global warming, we will have to extinguish the sun!

Isn't it funny how stupid most of the "meteorologist-environmentalist-scientists" are. I'll bet it takes years for them now to admit they were wrong in the face of real evidence of their foolishness.

"Gee Verne...think the sun might cause temperature changes?"

"No way Lester, it's this cigarettes you're smoking and the gas from those cows over there"

Any greenhouse effect due to fossil fuels is temporary because the supply of fossil fuels is limited and will eventually be exhausted.
