Newsflash: The Sun is Causing Global Warming

There is a radical new global warming theory that you can read about in this article.

“We are fairly sure that what’s causing the warming are changes in the sun,” he said. “These are very subtle changes that are very difficult to observe. The sun is really a quite variable star.”

That’s right, the SUN IS CAUSING THE EARTH TO WARM. Stop the presses, hold everything, I never thought of that before. That little ball of light and HEAT could actually be heating the earth? This group can kiss their federal grants goodbye for coming up with such a radical, out of the mainstream theory such as this.

They also claim the models that predict our impending doom are flawed.

Singer said the reason why the models “overestimate the effectiveness of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is that the models ignore what are called negative feedbacks which occur in the atmosphere, such as clouds, which reduce the effect of the greenhouse gases.” “Their models just don’t consider them properly,” he said.

Al Gore, and the like, conveniently forget to include cloud cover in their models. Cloud cover helps cool the earth and as such is inconvenient for the global warming alarmists.

“We have to remember that the climate has always been changing ever since we have records, and we have geologic records going back millions and millions of years. We know that there have been huge climate changes on the earth long before human beings actually came into existence.

Now while I find the fact that a research group has determined the sun, of all things, is responsible for global warming welcoming, I do have one question to ask. How much did this cost the taxpayers? After all this money was spent we learned two things, that the sun heats the earth and that clouds cool the earth. Let me repeat my question, this cost us how much? I learned this in second grade, and we need researchers to tell us this?
