BBC: Warming Not Caused by Sun
Amazing news from the BBC — despite what common sense might say, it is human civilization that causes the planet to be warm, and not the sun:
Scientists have produced further compelling evidence showing that modern-day climate change is not caused by changes in the Sun's activity.
Of course, not all scientists say this — only the ones who want to advance their careers by getting showcased in the media, like Terry Sloan of Lancaster University, who wraps up the absurd story with this:
So we had better carry on trying to cut carbon emissions.
Nice to see British taxpayers are getting their money's worth out of the Beeb. Sure it's expensive, but how can you put a price on laughter?

On a tip from Oiao.

Have I said the BBC needs to be destroyed lately?
I'm having a hard time thinking of an organization that does more damage to western civilization than the Beeb. Maybe the UN.

We may complain about having to help fund PBS and NPR, but the BBC has us beat by a long shot.

WOW! These are some smart folks! Did they say what's causing similar climate change on Mars, the moons of Saturn, etc.? Was it that damned Mars rover we sent up there that screwed up the Martian climate?

The BBC....nothing but a mouth piece for the UK government. No wonder it keeps getting it's power to enforce a license fee renewed.

So why did the last ice age end?
The Earth has been warming at the same rate as today since the end of the last mini-ice age ...

Ya know that big fiery thing in our solar system? Yeah, the gigantic star that gives off heat. Well, that isn't whats causing us to be warm. It's cow farts and SUVs! Duh.

I had to look up "V masks", I get it now.
Several states are SUING the federal government because President Bush "didn't do enough about 'global warming'." I guess they are hurrying to profit from the scam at the last minute now that "the concensous" is changing their minds.

I finally got around to actually reading the article, and it's even flimsier than I expected.
The whole thing appears to be about some study looking for correlations between cosmic rays and cloud cover over the last 20 years. First off, documenting a correlation or non-correlaton between two things is the first step, and only a first step, toward proving a causal relationship. That's where the real work starts. But that doesn't stop people from talking about correlations (or apparent lack thereof) as if it proves something. It doesn't. It's a little better than "predictive" computer modelling, but it still ain't much.
Well, anyway, I don't see what any of that has to do with the global cooling that took place this year.

It's not the sun that causes the change of seasons, it's COW FARTS.

I've done a little research on magnetic field decay. As the field decays, there is less protection from solar radiation, meaning more UV rays that affect health and climate.
Now, how did we cause magnetic field decay? Get out those magnets people...!!!

I blame tinfoil hats!
No matter what is causing it, one thing is for sure: Moonbats will conclude that it's all our fault, and we should be taxed heavily to compensate for the damage we have done to the molten core of the earth.

Forest, thankyou so much!Now I know whats causing global warming!Its because those bastards at ExxonMobile are callously drilling into the earth and letting all the heat from the core out! Yet another reason to stop raping the earth and use green fuels!

Nobody tell the libs what I just said. It might just become Gore's new selling point.

Conservativeteen, you KNOW better than to do that!
The Goracle will be all over that theory, especially since he can't come up with an original thought in order to bilk millions out of paranoid greenies!!!!
