He misquoted a study by the Max Planck Institute about solar activity - falsely claiming it said the sun was the cause of global warming.
LIMBAUGH: "The Truth About Global Warming. 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."

In fact the Max Planck Institute said "researchers at the MPS have shown that the Sun can be responsible for, at most, only a small part of the warming over the last 20-30 years" and, "the Earth's temperature has risen dramatically in the last 30 years while the solar brightness has not appreciably increased in this time"
