That is what these scientist think. The theory is not so much solar irradiance but, solar winds deflecting cosmic rays from deep space. The cosmic rays help seed clouds. When the solar winds are strong, fewer clouds are available to reflect sun light.

I don't buy it. There is to much overwhelming evidence that the human population is the major factor. Here is one factor that is not usually figured in but is yet a major player in global warming.
The raising of cattle for beef consumption causes more global warming than all of the cars exhaust on this planet. It starts with thousands of sq. miles of tropical rainforest being cut down and burned to raise much of the cattle. Then the amount of methane gas(a global warming gas) that is expelled by cattle. 100 million tons of methane gas a year is expelled by cattle just in the U.S. alone. The amount of water to raise these cattle is beyond belief also. It takes about 20 acres of land a year to supply the protein a person needs by eating beef and over 2500 gallons of water. For a vegetarian it takes 1 acre of land to supply the protein they need for one year and about 40 gallons of water. Stop eating beef and you will be doing more to stop global warming than many other opitions.

This statement is not so stupid. Eventually
the sun will decide the planet's fate, not
some un-recycled beer can thrown on the
side of the road.

Well if your referring to the "sun caused global warming" theory, the fact is the sun's temperature has been decreasing steadily, every year since the early 80's.

I think who ever said it had a good reason.

The sun may be the source of the energy, but it does not convert the solar energy to heat energy and obviously has no effect on the retention of heat in the atmosphere.
Whoever said the statement is the stupid one.

It doesn't cover all the bases, but ultimately, it is true.

I second crabby's sentiments. The sun is only directly responsible for 5-10% of the recent warming. It's indirectly responsible for virtually all of the warming, of course, but that's rather irrelevant.

Its the wrong answer just like its the ecconomy stupid is the wrong answer, but it does get a lot of mileage don't you think?
