He claims that in the mid-1980’s, the Sun was at its most active and has been less active ever since, but our temperatures have kept going up. As if the lead time for influence couldn't be longer than scientists have estimated (however, we've had some really active years for the Sun since, too).
I can't wait to watch people lambaste this guy when our global temperatures keep going down and the only reason is that the sunspots have stopped, making the solar wind, etc. all go down.
This guy wasn't a "pizza scientist" was he?
But the article is just a front piece for the global warming cult, which is trying once again to deny and/or explain away the reality we are experiencing, that the effect of the sun on the earth's surface temperature is variable, and more of a contibutor than anything we do here.
