That is hilarious. The global warming, climate change etc is really and regrouped assembly of worshippers who merely changed their God. In the 80s it was acid rain and they proposed similar cap and trade legislation to fight the acid rain. It never happened. Now they named CO2 the boogeyman. A greenhouse gas the weighs in far below methane and water vapor. There is no historical correlation between earth temperatures and CO2 in the atmosphere. Yet the lunatics "stay on the path." Ignoring the sun as the primary driver of temperatures is critical to their belief system. They wish to consider the sun a constant. How juvenile to think you can ignore something and it will go away. In previous jousts with the looney left re sun spots I was told they were unimportant compared to CO2

Are you seeing clouds like this over there? We are here. examiner.com Well now, what do we have happening in the Mesosphere, right on the edge of space? We have increasingly cloudy skies! Even though you don’t see them during the day, the NLCs are there, and now we know they are being observed as far south as 41 degrees latitude…approximately a line from New York to Pittsburgh to Indianapolis to Kansas City to Denver to Salt Lake City to about Redding in northern California. A similar line, though slightly further north, lies across Europe and Asia. The clouds are thin, but the coverage is thousands of square miles across and even a small percentage of reduced sunshine over such a broad area and over time will be measurable here on earth. But wait, there’s more. Remember that the sun is in a minimum and astrophysicists aren’t even sure if the new solar cycle has started. Just look at the left side of that SpaceWeather.com web page and you’ll see an image of the sun (which is “blank”) showing sunspots, or lack thereof. We are in a deep solar minimum, which in plain English means that we’re getting a lot less energy from the sun than during the active periods of the past 30-50 years (at which time we recorded some warming…hmm). BTW there's more going on with this calm sun than just less energy. Less energy means more cosmic rays getting through the solar wind. More cosmic rays mean more clouds. More clouds means cooler Earth. There is almost perfect correlation between sun activity and global temperature. And NO correlation between CO2 conc. and temp. ITSS - It's The Sun Stupid.
