Sorry MQ, I do think that humans polute the environment way too much and it is influencing global warming. The world is at present lucky because the Sun formes veey few sunspots and we past the sunspot minimum year in the 11 year cycle by two years which in turn results in lower warming from teh sun. In other instances that the sun did not produce enough spot fora prolonged period of time the temperatures where falling more drasticly, like the Maunder Minimum during the "Dark Ages" en.wikipedia.org The Maunder Minimum coincided with the middle — and coldest part — of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America, and perhaps much of the rest of the world, were subjected to bitterly cold winters. Whether there is a causal connection between low sunspot activity and cold winters is the subject of ongoing debate. In 1709, the Rhine remained frozen until the summer. Other historical sunspot minima have been detected either directly or by the analysis of carbon-14 in tree rings; these include the Spörer Minimum (1450–1540), and less markedly the Dalton Minimum (1790–1820). In total there seem to have been 18 periods of sunspot minima in the last 8,000 years, and studies indicate that the sun currently spends up to a quarter of its time in these minima.
