no reason to be here writes "The sun seems to be getting hotter. Total radiation output has increased .05% per decade since the 1970s. This article over at Yahoo! News has the scoop. Though .05% may not seem like much, if it has been going on for the last century or more (and circumstantial evidence suggest that it has), it could be a significant factor in the increase in global average temperature noticed during the 20th century."

    How much do you like breathing smog? You must like it a lot. Try sticking your head behind a car's tailpipe and see how long you can stay there. Oh wait, that's right, you never go outside anyway.
