Q: I have heard that the activity on the sun affects our weather on earth. Does anyone know anything about this?
A: The sun is 99.99% of the warming and cooling of the earth, turn the sun down a little and things get cold, turn it up and things get warm. It is just that simple and easy to understand. Those who promote the AGW hypotheses know this but for religious and political reasons prefer to blame industrialization for the changes in climate. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with solar minimums and what the have done historically to climate. Also search on Oort or Viking, Wolf, Spoerer, Maunder and Dalton minimums to see the truth of the suns effect on climate. The whole AGW pogrom is built on the natural climate change going from the end of the Maunder minimum to the current modern optimum. A better education of those who have fallen for the hoax would have saved a bunch of people from looking as foolish as they will eventually when all is revealed and believe me it will be. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NasaNews/2001/200112065794.html http://astrophysics.suite101.com/article.cfm/maunder_minimum_variable_sun
