Remember, we are still coming out of the "little ice age" of only a few centuries ago. Furthermore, sun spots have much more effect on average temperatures Indeed, I still recall the scientific community back in the '70s, claiming we were heading for a new ice age... And now it's global warming... But they fail to note that the most recent several thousand years have been a time of great temperature stability, which has not been the case throughout earth's history... And since mankind wasn't around to pump out greenhouse gases at that time, they'll have to find another explanation... ocs.orst.edu (I found this to be a pretty interesting link) Btw, we're well into the Cycle 23 solar max, and today we're reporting a reading of 160 on a scale of 300 for sunspot activity.. sunspotcycle.com Compare it to this chart and one can see the cycles: science.msfc.nasa.gov Hawk
