Scientists Say Cosmic Rays May Cause Global Warming

Posted by timothy on from the sell-cosmic-rays-pollution-credits dept.

Saint Aardvark writes "Researchers in Israel and Germany suggest that variations in cosmic radiation as the sun orbits the galactic core may be responsible for changes in the Earth's climate -- including more than half of the change in the 20th century. A PDF of their article is available from GSA Today or read the abstract for their Physical Review Letters article."

    I think we started getting bombarded with the cosmic rays shortly after Dick Cheney completed a trade mission to the Galactic Core.

    Haliburton is to blame, somehow.
