The truth about global warming – it’s the Sun that’s to blame
Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research. A study by Swiss and German scientists suggests that increasing radiation from the sun is responsible for recent global climate changes.
Dr Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research, said: “The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.
Oh oh! Just in time to meet up with Algor’s new propaganda movie on how it’s all the fault of us and our evil SUV’s.
Other scientists have taken note of this also (understatement alert!):
Dr Bill Burrows, a climatologist and a member of the Royal Meteorological Society, welcomed Dr Solanki’s research. “While the established view remains that the sun cannot be responsible for all the climate changes we have seen in the past 50 years or so, this study is certainly significant,” he said.
“…is certainly significant…” DUH! But the good Dr. Burrows goes on and, wonder of wonders, takes things to their logical conclusion:
“It shows that there is enough happening on the solar front to merit further research. Perhaps we are devoting too many resources to correcting human effects on the climate without being sure that we are the major contributor….”
So much for Kyoto!
The research adds weight to the views of David Bellamy, the conservationist. “Global warming – at least the modern nightmare version – is a myth,” he said. “I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world’s politicians and policy-makers are not.
Now THERE’S a mouthful! Who would have EVER thought that policymakers suffered from a reality gap. I mean, they’re right on top of the border situation, aren’t they? (Oh. Never mind.)
“Instead, they have an unshakeable faith in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement: humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide – the principal so-called greenhouse gas – into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up. They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock.”
Indeed!
