Folks, folks.. folks.. if you're going to properly analyze the impact of increased sunspot activity on global temperatures, you MUST observe changes in the climate and atmospheric phoenomena of other planets.

Jupiter's new "Red Spot" possibly due to increase UV radiation from the sun:

Since it was discovered in 1665 Jupiter's Giant Red Spot has come and gone--for reasons not known. At times, it merely may have been that no one with adequate telescopes was paying attention. The Red Spot was weak or not observed at all during the rest of the 17th century.

However, this period was the time of the Maunder Minimum--an epoch when there were very few sunspots. For reasons such as this, the suggestion has been made that Jupiter's Red Spot, like the Earth's aurora, is strongly affected by solar activity.

NOW.. I'm not going to assert that man-made emissions are responsible for some of the global warming that seems evident in recent years.. But one CANNOT IGNORE the climatic changes ocurring on planets having nothing to do with Mankind's influence.

That said, nothing in the above information is a reason for not furthering a policy of energy independence, primarily focused upon renewable fuels and endeavoring to keep our skies and waters pure.
