...what we assert to be global
warming is due to Solar activity and not to man's activities.

"...there is no correlation between solar activity and the strong warming
during the past 40 years. Claims that this is the case have not stood up to
scrutiny..."

Hmmm. So climate change is not due to solar activity. Could be, but
clearly SOMETHING is going on given the climate change observed on
other planets in our solar system! So pretty much the bottom line is
we really don't know much about what is causing climate change!

What IS known is that so-called "greenhouse gases" and CO2 in
particular simply CANNOT cause enough of an effect to be the cause of
climate change!

But hey, why worry about real causes. If we don't know what the
actual cause is we still need to DO something, right? You know like
running a race to "cure cancer"? I say the answer to global climate
change is bouncing a basketball to end AGW!!! THAT way we will be
"doing something" to help the planet! Keep that basketball bouncing
and you'll be doing your part!!! How can liberals be so educated and
yet so dumb? Oh yeah, I remember, because politics trumps all
reason!
