@Sanguine I am willing to listen to what the skeptic scientists are saying and not minimize their thoughts. It is your side that will not allow even a smidgen of credibility to the side that disagrees with you.
You have everything backwards, I'm afraid.
How much do you hear in the MSM or in the "reputable" scientific journals about sunspot activity affecting the Earth's temperature? Virtually
NO info. And yet the sunspot activity seen in the 20th Century nicely explains the very modest but measurable increase in temperature and
also indirectly but rigorously explains (via Henry's Law) the concurrent increase in atmospheric CO2--which increase originally tempted scientists to
blame the observable modest warming in the 20th Century on the documented CO2 increases in the 20th Century.
In short, the warming from the sunspots was the cause of the CO2 increases, not the result thereof.
The astrophysicists and atmospheric scientists who discovered this overall explanation of the association between planetary temperature and atmospheric CO2 several years ago have actually demonstrated the basic mechanism of planetary warming
by sunspots through cloud chamber experiments at CERN. The CERN facility was able to mimic the sunspots' electromagnetic radiation ("solar wind") to show that sunspots decrease the cloud cover on our planet, thereby increasing the infrared radiation reaching our earth, including our oceans, of course. The CO2 evolution from the oceans increases from the warmer oceans as a matter of simple ocean chemistry.
The warming seen in the 20th century essentially stopped in the late 1990s when the unusually high sunspot activity of the 20th Century essentially stopped.
You didn't know any of this, my friend
@Dexter, because unlike me, you are not a scientist and also unlike me, you trust scientists to be unbiased. Heck, all of the major journals are involved in a bona fide conspiracy to promote AGW alarmism. AGW "deniers" get incessantly trashed, and their articles get banned from mainstream circulation. (The media plays along with the liars, of course.) That's because the academic types who promote Socialist crap in our universities are also in control of our universities' science departments.
As the Brazilian foreign minister recently declared, the AGW hysteria really is the result of a
Marxist plot.
