Scientists have produced further compelling evidence showing that modern-day climate change is not caused by changes in the Sun's activity.
The research contradicts a favoured theory of climate "sceptics", that changes in cosmic rays coming to Earth determine cloudiness and temperature.
The idea is that variations in solar activity affect cosmic ray intensity.
But Lancaster University scientists found there has been no significant link between them in the last 20 years.
Presenting their findings in the Institute of Physics journal, Environmental Research Letters, the UK team explain that they used three different ways to search for a correlation, and found virtually none.
" The IPCC has got it right, so we had better carry on trying to cut carbon emissions"

This is the latest piece of evidence which at the very least puts the cosmic ray theory, developed by Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark at the Danish National Space Center (DNSC), under very heavy pressure.
Dr Svensmark's idea formed a centrepiece of the controversial documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.

CEI must be bored. They will once again launch an ad and an attack on Al Gore because it is obvious that with oil breaking a 100 dollars a barrel, those they are spokepeople for are getting nervous that Americans will be demanding other alternate sources. Notice this will also be launched just around the time The Alliance for Climate Protection is set to start their ad blitz.
Of course, this also goes back to the fact that to deny global warming/anthropogenic climate change is also a way to absolve yourself from any responsibility to anything but your own selfish lives. It is truly a shame that these people are so steeped in such partisan political hatred that they cannot even realize that thousands of scientists around the world have evidence to back up that humans are precipitating the warming and other effects we are seeing taking place around the globe.
And again, I have not seen, heard, or read one scientist who corroborates anthropogenic climate change denying that the Earth also goes through cycles. However, the precipitous rise in warming and the pace of it is unmistakable in regards to our contribution to that warming. They would actually then look credible if they even gave a half decent critique that addressed the entire scientific community instead of launching a personal attack on the messenger clearly based on partisan political hatred.
The only thing they will do in this instance is show themselves for the political hacks they are. However, who will speak out against this lame assault? Where are the people in speaking out for their planet against these greedy selfish mouthpieces for the oil industry who wish to keep the status quo? CEI must be bored. They will once again launch an ad and an attack on Al Gore because... more
