Faded by the sun Yes, Virginia, it's hot out there. And out of curiosity we checked, and sure enough there is a congressional hearing scheduled for this week on global warming. Lawmakers looking for the cause might read the scientific article in the July 19, 2006, issue of CO2 Science magazine, which concludes that solar activity — not manmade activity — could be the reason (apart from it being summer) for these higher temperatures. The article reads, in part: "In light of these real-world-based observations, plus the multitude of studies that indicate most climate changes of the past were clearly associated with changes in solar activity ... the case for anthropogenic CO2 emissions playing anything more than a minor role in contemporary global warming would appear to be fading fast."
