Solar activity is a big factor. Also, the tilt of the earth’s axis which causes our seasonal changes, is a factor.
To listen to the liberals, you would swear that man made CO2 emissions are the only factor in our weather and climate.
I want to ask the global warming folks — how is it that earth has had a number of ice ages in history? How did earth warm up since the last ice age? Did Cro-Magnon man have coal fired power plants and drive SUVs?
Chicago was buried under a mile of ice during the ice age. Clearly a time of global warming without man causing anything, caused the ice to melt and the ice age to end.
The earth is actually closer to the sun when its winter in the northern hemisphere.
I want to ask the global warming folks:
How is it that CO2 causes both global warming and global cooling. Huh?
