Solar Influence On Climate Confirmed

"..researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar Research in
Germany report the sun has been burning more brightly over the last 60
years, accounting for the 1 degree Celsius increase in Earth’s
temperature over the last 100 years.

R. Timothy Patterson, professor of geology and director of the Ottawa-
Carleton Geoscience Center of Canada’s Carleton University, says that
“CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet’s climate on
long, medium and even short time scales.�

Â*"Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and
better “eyes� with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact
on Earth’s climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our
planet combined.

And they’re worried about global cooling, not warming."

"Sami Solanki, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar
System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany said:

"The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now
be affecting global temperatures... the brighter sun and higher levels
of so-called "greenhouse gases" both contributed to the change in the
Earth's temperature, but it was impossible to say which had the
greater impact.[73]

Nevertheless, Solanki agrees with the scientific consensus that the
marked upswing in temperatures since about 1980 is attributable to
human activity."
