Study: The sun may have more to do with global warming than carbon dioxide
08/19/2021 / By Mary Villareal
A peer-reviewed paper produced by a team of almost two dozen scientists concluded that the sun may be the main cause of warmer temperatures, not the carbon dioxide emissions blamed by the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The paper also said that previous studies did not adequately consider the role of solar energy in explaining the rise in temperatures.
The IPCC recently released its sixth “Assessment Report” that cited man-made carbon dioxide emissions as the main reason for global warming. The new study casts some doubts on the hypothesis.
The climate scientists and solar physicists involved in the paper concluded that the IPCC’s stance on blaming human emissions were based on “narrow and incomplete data about the sun’s total irradiance.” The global climate body appears to have displayed deliberate and systemic bias in what views and data are included in its influential reports.
