Sun Not a Significant Driver of Climate Change

damn_registrars writes "Scientists from Edinburgh, Scotland have recently published a study based on 1,000 years of climate data. They have compared the effects of differing factors including volcanic activity, solar activity, and greenhouse gases to find which has the most profound effect on climate. They have concluded that the driving factor since 1900 has been greenhouse gases."

    Over the last 2 months the Drudge report has been full of climate news. All of it being evidence against AGW. Such as the US just had one of the 10 coldest years on record. The UK getting record snowfall despite AGWers claiming the UK wouldn't see snow after 2008. Antarctica getting within .5 degrees of the coldest recorded temperature on earth. Along with 2000 record low temperatures recorded over the last couple of months. Add that to the IPCC report showing no warming for 17 years.

    Its become pretty obvious which side has been lying. Now they are grasping at straws to report ANYTHING that shows their side "might" be right. I'm going to ignore the alarmists and look at the evidence myself. If AGW was real, they wouldn't have to lie as often and at least ONE of their predictions would have happened.

      Which of course begs the question of why if its not getting warmer all the world's glaciers are simultaneously receding a a record pace not previously observed in human history.

      Really? All of them? Wow! Who knew?

      At a pace never previously seen in human history? Including the end of the last Ice Age? Amazing!

      With facts like yours, who could possibly doubt?
