["Mr Singer said: "This can all be explained by the Sun's activity."
He added: "The number of the Sun's cosmic rays hitting the Earth affect the number of low, cooling clouds that reflect solar heat back into space, amplifying small variations in the intensity of the Sun."]
That's NOT how it works!
[Mr Svensmark's results show that the {cosmic} rays produce electrically charged particles when they hit the atmosphere. ..Mr Svensmark claims that the number of cosmic rays hitting the Earth changes with the magnetic activity around the Sun. During high periods of activity, fewer cosmic rays hit the Earth and so there are less clouds formed, resulting in warming.]2
Singer got the science wrong! We recently had a solar minimum- which should've led to more clouds and global cooling. But we've instead had the warmest years on record.

What, take one data point? Singer is MAKING UP his own data points and passing it off as real science. It's hack, junk science to confuse the issue and protect global polluters.

slow down kid
currently Climate is way more complex than one or two variables.
Al gore tries to over simplify it, because he is appealing to the simple minded.
Of the large number of things that are effecting climate change CO2 emission by humans is the least.
Liberals jump on Al Gores band wagon and say anyone scientist that disagrees with him is farce. Because Gore wants to enlarge control of the government and decrease personal liberty.
The study was not misrepresented, neither was the application of that study there are other variables that explain the anomaly

Are you familiar with the roles that long and short wave radiation, cloud cover and water vapor play in global warming?
If you haven't yet, you should take a meteorology course.

You have ignored the fact that that multiple factors effect the
weather on our planet. To take one data point and ignore
other factors is the false science we have come to expect
from man made global warming true believers!

I'm not a scientist but it has been unseasonably cool this summer where I am from.
